Power Fantasy, Male Objectification, and Lady-Fanservice
This video's been worked on for quite a bit and eventually became two videos, the second of which will probably be out sometime next month.
Considering it became two videos, there's a lot of stuff on the cutting room floor I'll put up as a bonus thing soon!
I did a poll on Twitter asking what I should do, and people seemed interested in an analysis of Undertale, so that's what I'm working on next. It should be up fairly soon once I've had a chance to figure out what hasn't already been said!
Please note the backer list is split between this video and the next two planned for this month, so if you backed me in July and are wondering where your name is, the answer is, it's IN THE FUTURE!

Undertale is a fantastic game, and I'm glad to hear you're doing an analysis of it. Godspeed.
Great video. I do have a concern that people will latch on to how Bayonetta was designed by a woman named Mari Shimazaki. It seems like the sort of thing that might get a lot of "Actually"s even though Ms. Shimazaki did the design with imput from Hideki Kamiya (the character's creator), and the goal may very well have been using a woman's perspective to create something that would appeal to men "but from a woman's perspective." Sorry if this is too much for a new, minor pledger to write.
My useful contribution is that the "bayonetta is empowered" argument always makes me think of the end gif of this <a href="http://www.harkavagrant.com/nonsense/strongfemalessmall.gif" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.harkavagrant.com/nonsense/strongfemalessmall.gif</a>
That was grand!
What's that in the tweets you cited about Kratos' new design? Someone liking a beard! By your logic, dot dot dot!
hey, I think you forgot to mention me the backer acknowledgments
The acknowledgements are spread across three videos, the other two are coming soon!
