In the latter half of 2014, a controversy surfaced that came to be known as GamerGate (specifically, #Gamergate online). Initially revolving around what some believed were suspect positive reviews of a video game independently developed by a woman, the dispute soon became polarized and volatile. GamerGate is viewed by its proponents as a serious critique of ethics in video game journalism while opponents point to threats of violence against prominent female voices and industry heads as overwhelming evidence of misogyny rooted in parts of the video game industry and culture. As a professor who teaches video game design and heads the Entrepreneurial Game Studio at Drexel, Frank Lee has a unique vantage point on the video game industry and the culture surrounding it. Lee spoke with DrexelNow about GamerGate and the positives and negatives of gaming culture.

When media critic and creator of Feminist Frequency Anita Sarkeesian appeared on The Colbert Report near Halloween it seemed to come out of nowhere. Sarkeesian herself only announced it hours before it was to air, and Twitter and Reddit lit up as detractors to her Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series discussed what she might say from the forum regarding the GamerGate phenomenon that had recently gained national news. In all honesty neither Sarkeesian nor Colbert said anything particularly new or noteworthy for either of them. Colbert danced the line between playing his characters and reaching for understanding as always, and Sarkeesian brought a travel-sized version of her regular talking points. What it did do was drag the essence of the gory GamerGate mess into the spotlight for five whole minutes and revealed to the mainstream how utterly toxic and ridiculous it truly was.

CheatCC says - "I dont think anyone would argue with the notion that the video gaming landscape is a mans world. While the feminine influence is no doubt on the rise, we still find ourselves in a world dominated by the male ego; Im not just talking about the real world gamer either. The video game industry tends to feature a predominately large portion of male heroes vs. heroines, even given developments in recent years. However, thats not to say we dont appreciate it when a gorgeous female character does grace our screens, as Im sure I speak for us all in saying its a wonderful change of pace. In fact, 2014 saw quite the eye candy of strong, yet sexy bombshells grace our consoles. In honor of them, lets take a look at the top ten femme fatales who were both dangerous AND easy on the eyes!"
