- description: This totally free supplemental add-on content pack for our Women as Reward video examines how women’s bodies are used not just as a reward for in-game actions but also, via paid downloadable content, as a reward for spending actual money. We then address the most common defense of this kind of objectification and commodification of women’s bodies: the argument that “sex sells.” Watch our full episode on the Women as Reward trope here: https://youtu.be/QC6oxBLXtkU For more information and full transcript visit: http://feministfrequency.com/2015/09/14/women-as-reward-special-dlc-mini-episode/ Press Image for Media Use: https://www.flickr.com/photos/femfreq/20683012824/ ABOUT THE SERIES The Tropes vs Women in Video Games project aims to examine the plot devices and patterns most often associated with female characters in gaming from a systemic, big picture perspective.
