The video is the latest instalment of the Tropes vs Women in video games project and the second part of a specific examination of how women are treated as objects in games.

Ms Sarkeesian's attempts to highlight the rampant misogyny in video games has made her a target for trolls: During attempts to raise funds for the project Ms Sarkeesian was subject to a campaign of abuse and intimidation which included death and rape threats, while some of her tormentors created a game inviting users to beat her up.

Following the release of her latest video Ms Sarkeesian, who tweets as Feminist Frequency, said fresh threats had been made against her and her family.
