Lighthearted but Shallow: 1Up's Take on Women in Gaming
In a post-Gamergate media landscape, it's ambitious to have a film confront the harsh reactions to women in gaming from a comedic lens.
Pig Stank (2021)
This film used a cinematic selfie to satirize the society's almost faulted view of sex and chaotic view of art. Art as a concept can be stolen, as a means can be stolen, art becomes obscene. On the one hand, people have never seen a masturbator and on the other hand, people are lining up to yell "husband fuck me." This image does not attempt to solve, only excerpts.

Outer Banks Ignores Its Racial Context
Outer Banks (2020-) knows its audience: young adults in a country that can’t stop romanticizing good ole’ treasure hunts. Add a little of Riverdale’s (2017-) sex appeal, and no one can look away.
