When you look at the success of stuff like The Hunger Games, Gravity and Orange Is The New Black, itās safe to say this was a pretty good year for the depiction of women in media. Just the same, though, it hasnāt all been peachy this year.
Hereās a montage by The Representation Group (who are behind Miss Representation, a film thatās been selected for the Sundance Film Festival) that recounts many of the major controversial moments for women in media this yearāand video games are included. In particular, it references the infamous bloody torso that was included in a special edition of zombie game Dead Island, as well as Grand Theft Auto. The footage shown for the latter is of a stripper giving a lap dance, though the bulk of the criticism of the game, gender-wise, seemed to lie in the fact that the single-player game didnāt have any female protagonists.
