Chivalry is Dead (2021)

The player comes across a store that is seemingly much larger than the character itself, this is important because this represents how the patriarchy enables sexist behaviour and thoughts. The size difference displays the idea that men are far superior to women as society often deems them bigger, smarter, and overall stronger. Furthermore, the stock options and response of the worker display misogyny. The worker illustrates the view of the village and in realistic terms society. The worker displays misogynistic tones firstly with the ‘alarm’, this is often marketed towards women to use in case of danger, which is a smart idea however, the worker states how women’s clothing are often the root of this danger, a harmful ignorant message. We then see stereotypes with the ‘cooking set’ as the worker expects the character to buy it and use this item to cook for their husband. Finally, the ‘sword’ cannot even be bought as the shopkeep implies that only men can buy this item as the player is not 'strong' enough.

Once the player progresses into the dungeons, each monster encountered highlights key problems of the patriarchy. The slime is a catcaller, and its character underlines the disgust women feel as a result of catcalling. Additionally, the 'gender pay gap monster' flaunts how much better he is and as an attack takes the gold of the player.
