Did you see this? She'll be making videos about other social justice topics, but not focusing on video games.

Are you happy? I guess it was time for her to end her series on sexism in video games; she seemed to be saying the same things about women being powerless over and over. In her final video she says that most of the time when you have a female NPC helping you in a game, she's there only to unlock doors and toss you items; but I don't know if that behavior is really more widespread among female helpers than male helpers. I would think it would be common among all helper characters in games, since it doesn't require much AI. At least, I didn't have any pre-existing image in my mind of helpers as female or male, whereas if I think of someone who needs to be rescued in a game, I do reflexively think of a princess.
