This video is terrible - /r/mensrights I hope you know you're being made fun of

This isn't a serious look at male representation in video games (something that would interesting and worthwhile!), its a parody of the whole notion that media representations can have negative impacts.

Soooo all of you for giving money or attention to this might want to keep in mind that you're enabling people who laugh at your concerns.

I can't tell if this is parody or serious.

I don't think very highly of the tropes vs women kickstarter project, but tit for tat is the wrong answer. This project sounds like it is well deep into Harrison Bergeron territory.

Very good, I thought it was well edited, well voiced, I'm a sucker for that "Talk while words appear on the screen in a weird dominoes pattern" thing and I can get right behind the message.

I hope this, and it's counterpart "Tropes vs Women in Video Games", does well and look forward to viewing them both.

Fantastic work, guys. The video turned out really good. I love the use of parody to drive home your point.

Yeah. I'm not actually seeing a lot of good material here right off. Personally I don't agree with the notion that showing idealized characters is damaging to the mind of individuals. Add to that they kind of seemed to be pointing at all triple AAA characters/games as bad while Indie game's/characters are good with their picture choice.

Picture of Gordon Freeman was on the screen when you said it was "downright offensive". This is where you lost me.
