Tropes vs. Women in Video Games: Women as Background Decoration

Anita Sarkeesian is back with another video in her Tropes vs Women In Video Games series. Here, she examines women as background decoration in games, as furniture or sex objects–but please do note the content warning, because this video contains footage of extreme violence against women.
