News::Ken Levine says my work is under attack' after Bioshock Infinite's Elizabeth called a 'naive woman'

MMGN writes: Video game critic Anita Sarkeesian has initiated a powerful discussion about the role of female characters in games. While her "Tropes vs. Women" video series has prompted an aggressive and in some cases illegal backlash to her criticisms of gamers, she has led a compelling discourse, opening the doors to countless critiques of the sexualisation and victimisation of women in games. One such critique, however, has hit the wrong note for Bioshock creator and Irrational Games founder, Ken Levine. Levine takes offence to one such example in the article referring to Bioshock Infinite's iconic female heroine, Elizabeth.
