let's talk about gender identity in the context of mr. mime

Yeah that has always baffled me, Nidoran has two different entries for male and female. I mean by all accounts there should be a Ms./Mrs. Mime, but all they did was give it a baby mode.

I like that wrestling uniform Karl Pilkington had to wear when he went to Mongolia.

Still, I'm pretty sure I played a Dragon Warrior game where my female character replaced something like Dragon Amor for a Bikini and her defense went up.

What if gamers know Anita is only doing videos to make them mad and are only continuing the problematic practices as a counter troll?

Your move Anita looks like you are going to have to make these non problematic games yourself.

they picked a gender-specific translation before all pokemon had genders and then couldn't make it mr. mime/ms. mime because it would require coding for it to have a different name based on gender but only in english

Saint's Row 3 was fantastic. 4 was good, bud just a tad too much over the top for me. Jim Sterling commented on how progressive those games are and Anita never mentioned them in her videos (only 1 and 2). That's all I can say on the subject.
And it only goes to show that she's done almost no research into the topic. You can only play as a voiceless dude in the first one and your only female ally gets killed brutally. That game was anything but progressive and also sucked.
Another thing she mentioned was how Princess Peach is always the victim and never gets to save the day. While that is the standard for the Mario games, how can she not know about Super Mario 2? 3D World had also been announced before she made that video and Nintendo showed Peach as playable there. How's about mentioning that in your video? Her not knowing about an obscure GBA game is understandable but do some effin research.

Anita proposed a game story that would be more "feminist," if I recall correctly.

It was terrible and dumb. You play a princess who's forced out of her position of power, so she goes on a long adventure to defeat the people who dethroned her... and establish a republic and abolish the monarchy.

Why does the girl have to be a loving princess or some dumb poo poo along those lines and not just be a cool female adventurer like everyone in the world wants

Is Ditto a good rolemodel for genderfluid people? While being a very popular pokémon due to their ability to mate with any other pokémon and thus showing the virtue of being trans* , the general unattractive featurelessness of it could be construed as a criticism of the non-dicothomous nature of the pokémon. I personally believe that it is a discussion from nintendo about the problem of being everything, and that attractiveness comes not from being everything to everyone, but something to someone.

Naturally since having no (formal) power makes her identify with the powerless, and thus, while originally motivated by ambition, ultimately acts out of solidarity.

Because it ~*subverts*~ hurtful tropes. Subversion is the best thing ever. Imagine a super hero comic, where the hero is not that good and even to some extent is the opposite of a hero. Isn't that cool?
