Comments on: [Gamer Diary] Isaac’s Lament: Treacherous Women /2012/02/22/gamer-diary-isaacs-lament-treacherous-women/ A feminist pop culture adventure Thu, 23 Feb 2012 09:16:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6 By: north5 /2012/02/22/gamer-diary-isaacs-lament-treacherous-women/#comment-2174 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 09:16:27 +0000 http://www.badreputation.org.uk/?p=9860#comment-2174 Seems to me like just laziness in games design. WOW HEY WHO WOULD SUSPECT A WOMAN TO BETRAY HIM ITS LIKE THE ULTIMATE UNEXPECTED TWIST HAHAHA. They’re playing on the more established game trope of woman-as-loyal-accessory (would Zelda betray Link? Nope.) and “cunningly” subverting it.

Does it matter? Yes.
