News Comment #12: Game Developer for children designing against gender norms and stereotypes.

This article is interesting because I never thought as video games an outlet to reform these views, especially for kids at a young age. It discusses how toys are marketed to kids and is not diverse. Toy companies typically market to white children first, then to boys and girls, and color-coded in isles of blue and pink. This company is different and reaches more people. This is definitely a topic of interest, because of the movement of the representation of diversity, and the idea of going against gender norms in entertainment and in the professional workplace.

 

The audience for this article is definitely a younger crowd, being on Mic.com, a website of news for millennial’s. I was a good length, but longer normally than the articles found on Mic.com. It contains 3 pictures for reference, and to break the article up. I didn’t love the lead, think that they could have made it shorter, and more to the point. Most of the information I think wasn’t as important, and could have been moved down lower in the article.
