| POINT | EVIDENCE | CONCLUSION |
| Challenges dominant ideology and common beliefs. | Shows a women holding a gun “Says something about the how we see women in pop culture and society. “ “Strength and intelligence knows how to use more weapons then most military personnel” | – We believe she challenges dominant ideology as she is challenging stereotypical men who a more dominant than women – she’s strength and power thought the photo and her body language the colour yellow is associated with energy, this represents the women’s power COUNTER ARGUMENT However we believe it could be reactionary as the creator Toby Gard intended in making the games protagonist a female this is a meaning of something as on the article it states the plan as to make her similar to Indiana jones however due to law suits they had to change their plans and that how Lara Croft was made. The way she’s positioned on the front cover, showing her behind and enhanced graphic features. Female characters are portrayed in this way to draw in straight Christian male audience. |
| Gamers were used to seeing women play the role a victim, seductress, or evil villains. | Males playing female protagonist were mostly unheard of Women were often portrayed as the weaker and inferior, however here, she is portrayed as the saviour and hero | Shows it challenges the dominant ideology, because she is presented heroically |
