<\/a>"I go for a walk and just head straight for the dark world!"<\/p><\/div>\n
I’m actually quite interested in the muddy waters of “well,
is<\/em> it feminist?” because I think it helps us understand the
wide representation of ideas over the project. Anyhow, on with your selected
submission. I picked up this one whilst engaged in other nerdy pursuits and
it’s a comedy sketch of a meeting between 80s-to-the-present computer
game heroines
Princess
Zelda<\/a><\/strong> and
Princess
Peach<\/a> <\/strong>talking animatedly (see what I did there?) about
their lives, loves and future aspirations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Clicky to watch: Zelda and Peach<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
I love the concept, especially the foregrounding of previously
“invisible” women, the implied critique of
“woman as quest object” and the way that the
conversation renders passive kidnappees into active
participants.<\/p>\n
However, I am less keen on the\u00a0inane “all girls love a
bad guy” undercurrent. Perhaps it would have been better if
rather than simply switching from one (stereo)type of man to
another, the two of them had decided to go off and do something
for themselves?<\/p>\n
