As Sarkeesian says in this first video: “Remember that it’s both possible and even necessary to simultaneously enjoy media while being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects.” Just like any other kind of media analysis — film, television, advertising, media — video game criticism can tell us a lot about ourselves.
