Talk:Tropes vs. Women in Video Games

Question/Thought

This question/thought is somewhat in regards to criticism of the videos, but does not deal with the content of those videos, but instead the production timeline. Would it hurt in any way to make mention of the criticism many of her supporters have in regards to the promised production schedule through the Kickstarter, as well as the DVD copies that have yet to materialize? She states in her kickstarter page that production of the entire DVD set of twelve episodes would be complete by Dec 2012, yet three years have passed since then, and no DvD's have been released, and only half of the videos have been produced.

The schedule was thrown to the wayside a long time ago, and the objective of the project changed almost immediately. Her videos have been over-length, and to a greater specificity than originally promised. Planned single episodes have become multi episode. Quoting an article almost 2 years old about what the project had delivered at that time would be a little undue (particularly as recent financial statement actually did give a breakdown). Feminist Frequency is now not just a kickstarter but a full non-profit organisation with myriad goals. Criticism of not releasing 12 videos would, obviously, be tempered with what actually has been achieved, and whether it would be "followers" (or backers) complaining about the undelivered is open to debate. If you can find more recent criticism please let us know. Koncorde (talk) 14:23, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I remember seeing something recently in regards to it, well, recent being a relative term. (IE within the past year.) I'll try to drag up that article again, as it was a rather interesting read, and did note as you said how the idea which began with the kickstarter grew into becoming something more. I think, ideally, if included, the criticism would have to be worded something like: "Many supporters of the videos have voiced concerns over the project's original timeline of release, compared with the current status of the videos. However, much of this deviation from the timeline can be traced to further developments and evolving of the project from a simple Kickstarter series, into a Non-Profit Organization with multiple diverse goals." (Just a what if there.)
