I wouldn't call it a silver lining, but with more women speaking up, online harassment is beginning to be taken more seriously.

The gaming industry has been male-dominated ever since its inception.

I'm no stranger to a bit of sexist backlash, but I was surprised by the level of vicious and misogynist hate I received.

I really wanted to explore a range of women who aren't necessarily perfect, heroic women. I wanted to series to influence creative people to include more women in their work, especially historic works.

I am not a fan of video games, I had to learn a lot about them. I would love to play video games, but I don't want to go around shooting people, and ripping off their heads, and it's just gross.

I want these to be names that young girls and boys and kids of all genders grow up knowing. It shouldn't just be when you take a feminist class in college, if you happen to do that. I hope this is fun and engaging for folks to watch.
