PAX EAST 2011 – Females on Female Characters Panel

Nerd Caliber recorded the Females on Female Characters panel at Pax East 2011.  This exciting panel dealt with issues concerning female beauty, sexism and character building. A lot of jokes were shared as well as views into popular video games Tombraider, Enslaved, Dead or Alive and Metroid. Listen to why the female characters in Final Fantasy 13 are probably the worst written female characters in the entire FF series.

From website of PAX EAST’s description of the panel: “Join Susan Arendt, Senior Editor of The Escapist; Kathleen de Vere, star of LoadingReadyRun; AJ Glasser, News Editor of GamePro; Tracey John, writer for The Daily, and Trina Schwimmer, founder of GamingAngels.com as they discuss what they embrace in female fictional characters and why these attributes are important. They will identify their favorite characters and how they would like more heroines with similar attributes integrated into Geek culture. This fresh, positive approach to female characters shouldn’t be missed.

Panelists include: Susan Arendt [Senior Editor, The Escapist], Kathleen De Vere [Actor, LoadingReadyRun], Tracey John [Writer, The Daily], Trina Schwimmer [Founder, GamingAngels.com], AJ Glasser [News Editor, GamePro], Tracey John, and Trina Scwhimmer”
