There's nothing wrong with her doing this stuff, the subject matter is noble, and critical discussion helps with those who want to call videogames art. However its not my bag for two reasons. The first is there is too much whinging (for my tastes), but that doesn't matter as some US universities are using the videos in feminism classes. The other thing is this does not make compelling viewing, it is not a TV programme, this is an essay with her reading it to the camera. I've watched the start of a few cheap American documentaries on Netflix and they are just drab..
This aint my bag but she is a astute and engaging (but not engaging enough to compel me to watch her talk for 24 minutes). She went on to Kickstarter and asked for $6000 and got $160,000! The videos editing is fine and if she did it herselfor got it done cheap then she must be dancing on the ceiling with all that money. Brilliant!
Bingo.
