>> NARRATOR: A local family has
agreed to let Ghaith and the
soldiers spend the night in
their house.
They are a mile back from the
front line, and feel safe.
But they're wrong.
The war is about to come to
them.
>> ABDUL-AHAD: I wake up early
in the morning.
I went outside to the street.
And I saw the soldier across
the street from me, and he
shouted, "Mufakhkhakha!
Mufakhkhakha!"
"Car bomb, car bomb!"
This is the other entrance of
the building.
>> Yes.
Get it quickly.
(gunshots)
>> NARRATOR: An ISIS truck bomb
has exploded a few feet in
front of the house where Ghaith
and the soldiers spent the
night.
The house has collapsed.
Ghaith immediately starts
filming.
He finds the soldier who warned
him.
(gunfire)
>> NARRATOR: ISIS gunmen are now
trying to pick off the soldiers,
who fire back.
>> ABDUL-AHAD: We were in the
middle of this huge scene of
carnage.
Everything is this dark, black,
grey, mixture of concrete and
burnt plastic, puddles of water,
debris, burnt Humvees.
Then the civilians start
emerging from the collapsed
houses.
>> NARRATOR: Ghaith's colleague
and producer, Josh Baker, has
dug himself out of the rubble.
He will later discover he has a
fractured spine.
(children crying)
>> NARRATOR: No soldiers have
been killed.
The civilians have borne the
brunt of the attack.
Several are feared dead under
the debris.
Those that survived are now
homeless.
(gunfire in background)
>> NARRATOR: The soldiers think
the attack was meant to kill
"Steel," Lieutenant Colonel
Munthadar.
>> ABDUL-AHAD: I think that day,
we realized the complexity of
the battle.
The civilians are still there.
This is a battle happening
between two enemies on a land
inhabited by the civilians.
No one knows how many civilians
have been killed in this battle
of Mosul, not even the
government of Iraq.

[Dr. Kavrie] Oh! This is a surprise, and thank you so much for doing this.
[Dr. Markway] Can you briefly share your background and what led you to the communication sciences and disorders field?
[Dr. Kavrie] Oh, yes. Right since I was a child, I was always interested in all of communication.
In plain dialogues, in [uh] debates, elocution competitions.
But to be honest with you, I wanted to be a journalist. An investigative journalist.

Are you looking for Sex Tablets for Men? - Duration: 3:39.
Are you looking for Sex Tablets for Men?
SPONSORED BY IMPRESS AT WWW.IMPRESS1600.COM
If you are looking for sex tablets for men, you aren�t alone.
The demand for male enhancement pills has skyrocketed and there has even been a lot
of buzz in the industry recently about the possibility of making Viagra without a prescription
a reality in the United States.
In the meantime, you are tasked with choosing from the hundreds of the available herbal
male enhancement products.
To make an informed choice, you should understand three key points: ingredients, quantities
and quality.
Most discussions about natural male enhancement focus on ingredients.
You may have read some of the blog posts where the supplement reviewer goes down a long list
of Chinese-sounding ingredient names and tries to link each of them to an outcome such as
being a natural cure for erectile dysfunction.
The amount of research on the ingredients traditionally used in sex pills is growing
as the public continues to support adoption of natural and homeopathic remedies that are
perceived as �safe and natural.� Ingredient choices are indeed extremely important.
When considering those with the best quality evidence supporting them, we like: PrimaVie,
Sensoril, FenuSterols, Nirraca 20i and VYPAREL.
All of these are high-quality, branded extracts from US-based companies that use patented
extraction processes, advanced laboratory validation and employ pharmaceutical-grade
quality assurance processes.
It�s for these reasons you would be wise to look for these extracts to be included
in your choice of sex tablets.
The right ingredients aren�t enough though.
Compare making a supplement to grilling up some meat- If you only add a pinch of salt
or a teaspoon of sauce to a rack of ribs, they aren�t going to turn out to be very
tasty are they?
Just as you need the right quantity of ingredients to do your cooking, you must have enough of
your ingredients in your supplements.
If there is only a �pinch� of an effective ingredient in your sex tablets when the job
requires a �scoop,� you might as well not be taking anything at all.
Always check to see exactly how much of ingredient has been studied to be effective and for what
period it must be taken to have any impact on sexual performance.
Quality is not discussed often enough when it comes to dietary supplements and far too
many men are not savvy consumers.
We see many brands offered as monthly programs costing $50 dollars or more.
The ingredients in many of these products may be worth only a couple pennies apiece.
The packaging however is very slick- fancy black bottles with shiny lettering are common.
Remember that when looking for sex tablets for men, do not be distracted by: stories,
endorsements and fancy packages.
Instead, go straight to the list of ingredients.
If there aren�t the right ingredients and the right quantity, the fancy bottle will
do you no good.
Use tools like Google scholar or PubMed to research ingredients.
Once you have confirmed you identified a formula you like, look for signs that the product
is produced under FDA compliance and in conformance with current good manufacturing processes.
Sex tablets that aren�t produced under these circumstances can be unreliable and the content
of the pills may not be an accurate reflection of the ingredient list.
Poor quality can jeopardize your health and your life, so don�t gamble- check out IMPRESS

U S World Population Control Programme Revealed – War and Famine - Duration: 8:17.
U.S. World Population Control Programme Revealed � War and Famine.
by Edward Morgan.
In researching for another report TruePublica unearthed a database dating back to the mid
1990�s and although quite widely publicised some years ago, provides astonishing insight
into how dangerous American foreign policy has developed over the decades.
This particular article appeared as part of a feature in the December 8, 1995 issue of
Executive Intelligence Review, and was circuclated extensively by the Schiller Insitute Food
for Peace Movement entitled: �Who Is Responsible for the World Food Shortage?�
The article quotes from a classified report and summizes that a plan, formulated by Henry
Kissinger was adopted by the US administration in the 1970�s under President Gerald Ford
to use population control methods in regions around the world where threats to their own
economic or political power was likely emerging.
The article, now over twenty years old, explains in detail the plan to starve millions and
keep many countries in a cycle of perpetual emerging nation status through famine or war
or both.
At the base of the article we have included more links as supporting evidence to Joseph
Breda�s 1995 article and attached former World Bank staff Peter Koenig�s latest piece
on Washington�s �Financial Genocide� of India.
Kissinger�s 1974 Plan for Food Control Genocide by Joseph Brewda
Dec. 8, 1995
On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a
classified 200-page study, �National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide
Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.� The study falsely claimed that
population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat
to U.S. national security.
Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined
a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control,
and also, implicitly, war and famine.
Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as national security adviser (the
same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing
the plan.
CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state,
treasury, defense, and agriculture.
The bogus arguments that Kissinger advanced were not original.
One of his major sources was the Royal Commission on Population, which King George VI had created
in 1944 �to consider what measures should be taken in the national interest to influence
the future trend of population.� The commission found that Britain was gravely threatened
by population growth in its colonies, since �a populous country has decided advantages
over a sparsely-populated one for industrial production.� The combined effects of increasing
population and industrialization in its colonies, it warned, �might be decisive in its effects
on the prestige and influence of the West,� especially effecting �military strength
and security.� NSSM 200 similarly concluded that the United
States was threatened by population growth in the former colonial sector.
It paid special attention to 13 �key countries� in which the United States had a �special
political and strategic interest�: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand,
the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia.
It claimed that population growth in those states was especially worrisome, since it
would quickly increase their relative political, economic, and military strength.
For example, Nigeria: �Already the most populous country on the continent, with an
estimated 55 million people in 1970, Nigeria�s population by the end of this century is projected
to number 135 million.
This suggests a growing political and strategic role for Nigeria, at least in Africa.� Or
Brazil: �Brazil clearly dominated the continent demographically.� The study warned of a
�growing power status for Brazil in Latin America and on the world scene over the next
25 years.�
Food as a weapon
There were several measures that Kissinger advocated to deal with this alleged threat,
most prominently, birth control and related population-reduction programs.
He also warned that �population growth rates are likely to increase appreciably before
they begin to decline,� even if such measures were adopted.
A second measure was curtailing food supplies to targetted states, in part to force compliance
with birth control policies: �There is also some established precedent for taking account
of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S. Agency
for International Development] and consultative groups.
Since population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand, allocation of
scarce PL 480 resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population
control as well as food production.
In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance
to avoid the appearance of coercion.�
�Mandatory programs may be needed and we should be considering these possibilities
now,� the document continued, adding, �Would food be considered an instrument of national
power?
� Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can�t/won�t control
their population growth?�
Kissinger also predicted a return of famines that could make exclusive reliance on birth
control programs unnecessary.
�Rapid population growth and lagging food production in developing countries, together
with the sharp deterioration in the global food situation in 1972 and 1973, have raised
serious concerns about the ability of the world to feed itself adequately over the next
quarter of century and beyond,� he reported.
The cause of that coming food deficit was not natural, however, but was a result of
western financial policy: �Capital investments for irrigation and infrastucture and the organization
requirements for continuous improvements in agricultural yields may be beyond the financial
and administrative capacity of many LDCs.
For some of the areas under heaviest population pressure, there is little or no prospect for
foreign exchange earnings to cover constantly increasingly imports of food.�
�It is questionable,� Kissinger gloated, �whether aid donor countries will be prepared
to provide the sort of massive food aid called for by the import projections on a long-term
continuing basis.� Consequently, �large-scale famine of a kind not experienced for several
decades�a kind the world thought had been permanently banished,� was foreseeable�famine,
which has indeed come to pass.

The Usage of an Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) - Duration: 5:27.
This video will educate you on the usage of the advance beneficiary notice of noncoverage,
also known as an ABN.
You must issue an ABN when you expect Medicare may deny payment for an item or service due
to one of the following:
The item or service is not considered medically reasonable and necessary for a particular
patient in a particular instance, or The care being provided is considered
custodial care.
An ABN related to hospice care is required due to one of the following:
The beneficiary does not meet Medicare's "terminally ill" definition, and hospice
services are still going to be provided.
The hospice level of care is not reasonable and necessary to manage the beneficiary's
terminal illness, and hospice services are still going to be provided at that level of
care.
Items and services are being billed separately from the hospice payment, such as physician
services and are not considered reasonable and necessary.
If the services are considered reasonable and necessary, an ABN is not required.
Home Health Agencies must issue an ABN for patients that are not homebound, or do not
require skilled nursing care on an intermittent basis.
An ABN is also required for Outpatient Physical Therapy services performed on or after January
1, 2013 when the services are in excess of the therapy cap amounts and do not qualify
for a therapy cap exception.
Common reasons that Medicare is likely to deny items or services as not medically reasonable
and necessary include: Care that is considered experimental and/or
investigational or "research only".
The service is not indicated for diagnosis and/or treatment in the beneficiary's specific
case.
The service is not safe or effective.
Medicare has been billed for a quantity greater than allowed in a specific period
for the beneficiaries corresponding diagnosis.
To prevent unnecessary denials and ensure you are issuing an ABN when necessary you
should familiarize yourself with the National Coverage Determinations and Local Coverage
Determinations.
Medicare providers are not required to issue an ABN when the item or service is never covered
because it is statutorily excluded from coverage or in most cases when care is provided but
fails to meet a technical benefit requirement.
For example, the service requires certification and certification was not obtained.
However, an ABN may be issued as a voluntary notice to assist the beneficiary in making
an informed decision.
Some examples of statutorily excluded items and services include: personal comfort items,
routine physicals, foot, eye and dental care, and cosmetic surgery.
In addition, services that fail to meet a technical benefit requirement are also considered
excluded.
Those may include: ambulance service provided that is beyond the nearest appropriate facility
or self-administered drugs and biologicals.
A voluntary ABN serves as a courtesy to the beneficiary in forewarning them of a potential
financial obligation.
If a voluntary ABN is issued the beneficiary should not be asked to choose an option box
or sign the notice.
Providers are not required to bill Medicare in these cases.
Instead you may bill the beneficiary directly unless they have a supplemental insurer who
requires a denial from Medicare.
If the beneficiary does require a Medicare denial, you should submit the claim to Medicare
with the GY modifier.
We will discuss Modifiers in a later video.
In order to determine if a service falls within a non-covered benefit under Medicare, access
the Medicare Physician Fee schedule tool located on the National Government Services Website.
Select Fee schedule look up on the NGSMedicare.com home screen.
In the drop down menu select Medicare Physician Fee schedule pricing.
Select the Specific to Fee Code radial button.
Next select the date of service the service was or will be provided.
Type in the Procedure Code. For this example, I will be using CPT 92015 determine refractive
state. Select the region where the service was provided.
Click Search. This is the Medicare fee schedule for 92015 and
you'll notice that all the amounts are zero. If you scroll down the page you can choose
to expand the page to view additional details for the procedure.
You will notice the status of this procedure is an N.
You can locate what that means exactly on the fee schedule assistance page.
To locate the fee schedule assistance page,
scroll down the page and locate fee schedule assistance.
Here you will find helpful information on the fee schedule.
Scroll down to the index and select column 4: procedure code status codes and as we scroll
down to status N it states that this is a non-covered service by Medicare.

GORBACHEV 'IT ALL LOOKS AS IF THE WORLD IS PREPARING FOR WAR' - Duration: 7:10.
GORBACHEV: �IT ALL LOOKS AS IF THE WORLD IS PREPARING FOR WAR�
by Darius Shahtahmasebi.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists announced on Thursday of this week that the Doomsday
Clock now stands at two-and-a-half minutes to midnight.
This spine-tingling announcement suggests that existential threats now pose a greater
threat to humanity than they have at any time since the height of the Cold War.
�This is the closest to midnight the Doomsday Clock has ever been in the lifetime of almost
everyone in this room.
It�s been 64 years since it was closer,� said Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist
at Arizona State University and the chair of the Bulletin�s board of sponsors.
Now is the time to panic � or not, depending on your level of resolve (or apathy).
Mikhail Gorbachev, former president of the Soviet Union and author of The New Russia,
wrote an article published in TIME Magazine entitled �It All Looks as if the World Is
Preparing For War.� In the article, Gorbachev notes:
�Today, however, the nuclear threat once again seems real.
Relations between the great powers have been going from bad to worse for several years
now.
The advocates for arms build-up and the military-industrial complex are rubbing their hands.�
Gorbachev is not overstating the threat of global warfare.
In an interview with Prism magazine, retired Army General Stanley McChrystal issued two
warnings that, as noted by Foreign Policy magazine, are �hair-raising� to say the
least.
�A European war is not unthinkable,� McChrystal explained.
�People who want to believe that a war in Europe is not possible might be in for a surprise.
We have to acknowledge great power politics; we can�t pretend that they are gone.�
McChrystal admits the U.S. made vital mistakes in speedily invading Afghanistan and Iraq,
as well as �paying a high price� in Syria.
As he has observed: �In the case of Afghanistan, immediately
after 9/11, in terms of military action we should have done nothing initially.
I now believe we should have taken the first year after 9/11 and sent 10,000 young Americans�military,
civilians, diplomats�to language school; Pashtu, Dari, Arabic.
We should have started to build up the capacity we didn�t have.
I would have spent that year with diplomats traveling the world as the aggrieved party,�
McChrystal stated.
Now that the world is headed down the path toward a possible world war, McChrystal acknowledges
the unthinkable is to follow: the erosion of our civil liberties, which will directly
impact on ordinary civilians.
�We are beginning an era in which our ability to leverage technology to track people and
control populations is going to create a lot of tension; I think we are going to see a
lot more population control measures.
We are going to have to give up a lot more of our precious civil rights than most of
us imagine because we want security,� McChrystal added.
Speaking to Republican policymakers in Philadelphia, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May stated that
Britain and the U.S. will no longer invade sovereign foreign nations �in an attempt
to make the world in their own image.� Such an ambiguous statement makes it unclear whether
this means Britain and the U.S. will still invade sovereign nations for other reasons,
especially in light of May�s statement that �nor can we afford to stand idly by when
the threat is real and when it is in our own interests to intervene.�
What May�s address really symbolizes is that the U.K. will still continue to follow
the U.S. hand-in-hand, as has been the case for decades.
This can be seen most clearly in the events following Donald Trump�s calls to focus
more on ISIS as opposed to Assad in Syria.
Britain�s answer to Donald Trump in the form of Foreign Minister Boris Johnson followed
suit, stating it is �better sometimes to have a tyrant than not to have a ruler at
all.� Not surprisingly, as a result of her comments
and commitment to the U.S.-U.K alliance, May just secured �100% support� for NATO from
President Trump.
Instead of focusing on Assad in Syria, as Obama and former prime minister, David Cameron
did, May made it clear the U.K. and U.S.� renewed focus is on this recently adopted
approach to foreign policy: Iran.
May stated that pushing back on �Iran�s aggressive efforts� to increase its �arc
of influence from Tehran through to the Mediterranean� was a �priority.�
Essentially, despite May�s rhetoric, nothing will actually change in practice.
War is still a reality; it just might take place in a different theater.
As a result, it is no surprise that the U.K. and the U.S. have been the most staunch backers
of the Saudi-led brutal assault on Yemen, as it is argued a Houthi-led government in
Yemen could align itself with Iran, creating an Iranian-influenced adversary on Riyadh�s
doorstep.
It should also be noted that Iran is bound to Syria by a mutual defense agreement.
Russia and China have made it abundantly clear they will not tolerate any attack on Syria
or Iran, as evidenced by Russia�s decision to overtly intervene in the Syrian war in
2015.
Further, Iran may eventually join the Eurasian security bloc, placing the Islamic Republic
into a direct alliance with nuclear powers Russia and China.
In turn, the U.K. and the U.S. are surrounding Russia with troops, missiles, tanks, and everything
in between.
Does this sound like the actions of two countries that will no longer invade sovereign nations
to shape the world in their image?
There is no way around this delicate issue other than to completely dismantle the world�s
current system of war.
As noted by Forbes: �However, there is more to averting nuclear
holocaust than having a robust strategic force.
The U.S. needs to avoid getting into non-nuclear conflicts and crises that could escalate to
the nuclear level.
Eastern Europe is the place where such a scenario is most likely to unfold, because since the
Cold War ended, the U.S. has extended security guarantees to former Soviet republics and
satellites that lie close to the Russian heartland.� Gorbachev himself has acknowledged this chilling
fact and offered his vast experience in this area.
The whole world should heed his words: �In modern world, wars must be outlawed,
because none of the global problems we are facing can be resolved by war � not poverty,
nor the environment, migration, population growth, or shortages of resources.� [emphasis
added]

be successful: productivity tips for business - Duration: 6:21.
hi I'm Monashee, from monashee.org
last week we talked about ways in which
you can streamline your life, so if you
haven't seen that video already,
I've included the link below. This week
is all about streamlining your workflow and business
so that you can be more productive and spend
more time of the things that you love to do and
less time on the things that you don't.
I'm going to give you practical tips that you
can implement into your workflow to save you time
and your precious energy. be sure to
stick around to the end of the video
where you will be able to download my
free "ultimate productivity guide" that
will walk you through the details of
setting up what I'm going to be talking about today.
your work day is constantly interrupted
by demands to make decisions
or to do tasks that are taking you completely off track.
whether it's emails or administrative tasks, or social
media distractions, or life distractions.
so let's get into some ways that we could reduce
some of these distractions and have a
more streamlined workflow.
one: eliminate.
if you take a good look at your business are
there things that you are doing that you
don't need to be doing? being really
specific about what your business is, who
it serve, and what you see it doing in
the next few years, can help you
determine this. are there things you do in
your business that aren't serving your
goals?
does your audience hang out on facebook
and instagram? and you're trying to
maintain a twitter and linkedin account
as well? why not focus on the ones where
your audience is, and forget the rest? are
you a designer, but you also spend time
marketing your copywriting services, even
though you don't enjoy doing it? your
ultimate goal with your business should
be to free up your time and have a life.
make the specific choices that lead you
to that intention.
two: automate
put as many of your workflows on autopilot as
possible. if there's anything you are
doing on a regular basis,
come up with ways in which you can
automate those tasks, so you are only
doing them once. create email templates,
branded social media templates, template
text for your content,
schedule content... anything that can be
done in one sitting,
dedicate the time to do it then.
three: delegate
hire an assistant, or a virtual
assistant, or outsource a certain aspect
of your workflow. depending on where you
are at in your business, this may not be
an option for you yet because of the
expense. if you aren't there yet,
definitely plan for it.
there will come a time when you will
want to delegate tasks that are not
top-level. determine early in the game
what those tasks are, so that you develop
systems around them, and ensure that they
are teachable. if you are ready to
outsource, decide what those things will
be. you will want to delegate not only
the things you don't enjoy doing but
also the things that are not high level
items. for some people that might mean
outsourcing their blog post, if they're
in a service type industry. whereas
bloggers might dedicate more of their
time to writing and outsource the social
media posting.
four: time blocking
time blocking is a way of structuring your
time so that you're spending smaller
bursts of time hyper-focused on one
particular task, with a break in between
to transition to the next task. the
"pomodoro technique" is one of the most
used techniques for this. I have included
a link to an app that is useful for
using the technique. it will time, and
track your daily tasks using this method.
five: batching
this is essentially doing
things that are grouped together all in
one sitting.
you take your focus off of everything
else, turn off all distractions, and pump
out some content. social media is a great
example of this. posting to each of your
social media accounts every day, and
using your precious brainpower to come
up with interesting things to say is
exhausting.
not to mention that it interrupts your
workflow. instead, try scheduling your
posts in advance. you can dedicate one
full day at the beginning of each month,
to focus solely on scheduling your posts
for that month. then press go, and don't
think about social media posting for the
rest of the month... except to engage. my
tutorial on Instagram scheduling can be
found in the link at the top right
corner, as well as below. I'll give you an
example of batching.
last week I did a video about how you
can streamline your life. I actually
recorded that video at the same time
that I recorded this video. it's more
efficient to spend the time all at once...
setting up once... doing my makeup once...
getting dressed once.
six: content calendar
having a really clear schedule, so that
you know what you are going to be doing
when, will really help you with planning
how you are going to automate, batch and
time block your work. and it will also
help you determine what you can outsource.
and automate. now you've got the tools
you need to streamline your business, and
focus only on the most top-level tasks.
now... how are you going to start
implementing these techniques to get
your business on autopilot?
I have designed a free ultimate
productivity guide, to help you navigate
this process. it comes complete with a
detailed questionnaire to help you determine
your top-level items. a guide to batching and
automating. and a calendar for you to
print and use to get started. to download
the guide,
simply click the link at the top right
corner of this video, or in the comments
below.
running a business can be overwhelming
when we don't have systems in place and
we're spending our time doing things
that we don't enjoy doing. I have shown
you that by letting go of things that
don't excite you, and by doing things in
batches, you can actually free up more time,
and work more effectively in the time
that you do have. now, I want to hear from
you. what are some of your favorite
productivity tips? hop on over to
monashee.org
and tell us about it in the
comments. if you liked this video, please
hit the like button below, share it with your
friends, and be sure to subscribe. thank
you so much for watching, and I will see
you next time.
and...eeeee
implement into your workflow (laugh)

Not Your Exotic Fantasy - Tropes vs. Women in Video Games - Duration: 12:13.
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
"You're not going alone."
Ubisoft's 2012 game,
Far Cry 3
casts players as Jason Brody,
a young white American man
vacationing in Bangkok,
with his brother and their white friends.
But their carefree fun comes to an end
when a skydiving trip goes wrong
and they all end up kidnapped by evil pirates,
who, you guessed it, are not white.
Jason escapes and encounters a group of
islands called the "Rakyat," who enlists his help
to rid their island of the pirates.
Ushering Jason into his exotic and exciting
new role as a tribal warrior and white savior is
Citra, a young woman who is viewed
among her people as a warrior goddess.
Under her guidance,
Jason's adventure rapidly becomes
an absurd hodgepodge of racist stereotypes
about tribal cultures and brown women.
At one point,
Citra gives Jason a hallucination-inducing drink
which leads him into battle with an imagined giant.
After he defeats the monster,
he is rewarded with the topless Citra
telling him that he is now part of the tribe.
"You are Rakyat."
Citra's strange mystical powers return
later in the game when she blows
a glowing dust into Jason's face,
triggering another hallucinatory sequence
that culminates in a game-ending choice:
to save Jason's friends and leave the island;
or to do Citra's bidding --
to savagely kill his friends and
stay on the island with her.
If players choose to murder Jason's friends
and stay with Citra,
a scene plays in which the two of them have sex.
Then she stabs him while stating that
their child will become the new leader
of the tribe.
I guess those mystical tribal powers of hers
just immediately let her know
that she is already pregnant.
"I'll be yours."
On the one hand,
Citra is yet another example of a
female character whose sexuality is presented
as a motivator and reward
for the presumed straight male player.
But there's something more insidious
happening with Citra.
Her body paint and magical powers suggest
that she practices some sort of tribal mysticism,
which also roots her in a longstanding tradition
of racist stereotypes.
These elements of sexism and racism intersect,
turning Citra into a stereotype
of an exotic, primtive, mystical, savage,
sexualized woman of color.
This linking of sexism and racism is an example
of what's called "exotification."
Exotification occurs when a group is treated
as inherently different, alluring, and strange.
"...like a lamb to the slaughter."
For instance, when certain white men
falsely view Asian women as inherently more
obedient or submissive than women
from other cultures,
and sexually fetishize them as a result
of these false notions,
those women are being exotified,
and their race is falsely depicted as
the defining aspect of their
character and personality.
"America...so far away."
"Not so far away that I'll forget you."
For the purposes of this episode,
we're focusing specifically on racist stereotypes of
tribal and indigenous cultures.
But it's important to note that
women of color from any background can be
and often are, stereotyped and exotified.
Sometimes, black female characters are exotified
entirely through clothing that simultaneously
sexualizes them while
also evoking racist stereotypes.
2009's Resident Evil 5 introduced a new
character to the series,
Sheva Alomar:
a Bio-Terrorism Security Assessment Alliance
agent who joins Chris Redfield as he confronts
an outbreak of infected in
a fictional region of Africa.
The first time you play through the game,
Sheva looks like this.
However, once the story has been completed,
if players also collect all 30 BSAA tokens
scattered throughout the levels,
they unlock a new outfit for Sheva, called
"the tribal costume."
Equipping this outfit takes Sheva,
who up until this point has been wearing
somewhat practical attire for the work she's doing
and shoves her into a leopard print bikini top
and a few tatters of fabric around her waist,
while also applying paint markings
to decorate her face and body.
In Hyrule Warriors, the villain, Cia,
is one half of the spirit of the original sorceress,
a noble being who watched over
the balance of the Triforce.
When the evil Ganondorf drives the light
from the sorceress's soul,
she splits into two:
with her virtuous half becoming Lana,
who like the similarly-righteous
Link in Zelda is fair-skinned.
Meanwhile, her evil half becomes
the darker-skinned Cia,
who casts dark magic,
wears an extremely sexualized outfit,
and whose body is adorned with markings
reminiscent of tribal body paint.
These differences between Lana and Cia,
two halves of the same being,
directly link the color of their skin
to their goodness and virtue --
falsely suggesting that a lighter skin tone
reflects a purer and more noble spirit.
In reality, lighter skinned women of color
are often depicted as more desirable and more
virtuous because they come closer
to meeting the culturally dominant
white beauty standards.
This insidious notion, that a darker skin tone
reflects a less moral or virtuous soul
is hardly new to the Zelda franchise,
in which the heroic and noble
characters like Link and Zelda are fair-skinned
while the recurring villain Ganondorf is associated
with the darker-skinned Gerudo people.
In Diablo III there are 6, soon to be 7,
classes to choose from,
but only one of them is represented
by black characters -- the witch doctor.
Employing just about every
visual stereotype about tribal warriors
in the book:
elaborate piercings, skull masks and body paint,
and carrying voodoo dolls and shrunken heads
as items of power.
The witch doctor is a caricature of tribal identity,
rooted in centuries-old racist imagery
that has no place being perpetuated
in the 21st century.
And this is nothing new.
Harmful, ignorant, racist stereotypes
have been used in the design
of supporting characters and enemies
in games for decades.
And often the result is female characters
who are both sexualized and exotified.
"Have you come to kill me?"
It's no secret that fighting games often feature
sexualized female characters and often feature
characters whose design is rooted
in ethnic stereotypes.
Sometimes, these two elements combine in
sexualized, exotified female characters.
In Street Fighter IV,
Elena wears...well, she wears almost nothing.
But the bands that she wears
on her arms, legs, and neck vaguely suggest
African tribal culture.
And she possesses that stereotypical
character trait of a mystical connection to the earth.
"I'll show you my dance! You ready?"
All these stereotypes
are anything but harmless.
Here in the United States,
racist images and stereotypes of black women
have been doing tremendous harm for centuries.
In fact, false ideas about black women
as inherently hypersexual beings were perpetuated
in southern slaveholding society.
This was a time when oppressive Victorian ideas
still held sway,
creating a false sense of womanhood
as inherently domestic, submissive, chaste,
innocent, and modest.
But the reality of black women's lives
as slaves was irreconcilable with these notions.
Not only were female slaves of course denied
any and all basic rights as people,
they were also often forced to be naked
when on display at auctions,
were regularly whipped in partial or total nudity
as punishment,
and were frequently sexually assaulted
and raped by their owners.
In her essential book, Sister Citizen,
Melissa Harris-Perry explores how myths
about black women's sexuality were deliberately
perpetuated by white people
as a way of rationalizing their cruel
and dehumanizing treatment of female slaves.
"The myth of black women as lascivious,
seductive, and insatiable was a way of
reconciling the forced public exposure
and commoditization of black women's bodies
with the Victorian ideals of women's modesty
and fragility.
"The idea that black women were
hypersexual beings created space for white moral
superiority by justifying the brutality of
Southern white men."
These false, harmful stereotypes and their tragic
impact have remained alive through the centuries
and into the present day.
Throughout most of American history,
up to and including much of the 20th century,
the sexual assault and rape of black women
by white men was almost never treated as a crime.
In her book, Dark Continent of Our Bodies,
historian Frances E. White says,
"Virtually no legal protection was provided
for women who were portrayed as
loose and licentious.
"Under such conditions, black women --
promiscuous by definition --
found it nearly impossible to convince the legal
establishment that men of any race
should be prosecuted for sexually
assaulting them.
The rape of black women was
simply no crime at all."
Obviously, the problem here is not
with the idea of representing women
who come from tribal cultures.
Our media absolutely should reflect
the cultural diversity of the world
we live in.
But that's not what characters like these do -- at all.
These are not respectful,
well-researched representations of actual cultures.
Rather, they represent a form of cultural
appropriation: when a dominant culture
exploits, and often profits from,
the history, culture, or traditions
of a marginalized group.
Like a white person putting on a sombrero
and a fake mustache, grabbing a bottle of tequila
and saying they're going as
"a Mexican" for Halloween.
These offensive and embarrassing depictions
reduce rich cultures down to a
few stereotypical signifiers.
Mystical powers, skimpy tattered clothing,
body paint, and racialized hypersexualization
are used as shorthand for "exotic."
As a result, these signifiers reinforce extremely
false and damaging stereotypes about the people
and cultures that they're appropriating.
These false, harmful myths and stereotypes
continue to contribute to the marginalizaition
and oppression of women of color
in America today.
For instance, in her book
The Politics of Disgust,
feminist theorist, Ange-Marie Hancock
discusses how racial stereotypes about
black women contribute to a political
system in which the marginalized continue to be
underserved, oppressed, and unheard.
We very rarely see portrayals of women of color
in games that incorporate the cultural history
of those characters in honest, respectful ways.
In many ways, Alex Vance from Half-Life 2
and its follow up episodes is a great character
and it's good to see a non-sexualized
woman of color in such a prominent role.
But the game isn't concerned with
cultural background.
Nilin, the biracial protagonist of Remember Me,
is a sexualized female protagonist -- but
the sexualization doesn't employ racist tropes.
Like Alex, her cultural background is
treated as irrelevant.
Unfortunately, there aren't many positive examples
of women of color in games whose cultural history
isn't erased, but also isn't presented
as the stuff of racist stereotypes.
And that's a shame.
Because characters whose cultural background
are incorporated honestly and respectfully
can work to challenge the deeply racist
status quo.
We're at least seeing some improvement
where black male protagonists are concerned.
Though they're far from perfect in terms
of representation,
2016's Watchdogs 2 and Mafia 3
center black male characters and acknowledge
black identity and structural racism as aspects
of their characters' lives.
Mafia 3 does feature a supporting character
named Cassandra,
a woman of Haitian heritage
whose background is very important
to her character.
Cassandra fights the entrenched Italian mafia
and their racist brutality against
the poor black citizens of the game's
fictional southern city.
The game 1979 Revolution doesn't center
a woman as its protagonist,
but in telling the story of the Iranian
revolution, it illustrates how games can
introduce players to new cultural perspectives
in ways that are respectful and compelling --
and that work to counteract stereotypes
rather than to reinforce them.
"We're a nation of equality
greater than Western capitalism!"
One game with a female protagonist that does
an excellent job of incorporating a character's
cultural history and traditions is Never Alone,
which stars a young girl named Nuna,
a member of the Iñupiat people of Alaska.
Folklore and traditions of the Iñupiat
are incorporated throughout the game
in a respectful way that enriches the player's
understanding of these people and
their experiences.
This kind of respectful treatment of cultural history
and traditions should be the norm.
But instead, games more often just plunder
marginalized cultures with no sense of respect
and no concern whatsoever about
accurately reflecting the people and traditions
they are appropriating from.
To put it simply, it's not ok for games
to reduce these cultures to stereotypical costumes
and personality traits
in an effort to add a bit of exotic flair
to their worlds.
It should not be too much to ask for
and expect representations of people of color
whose cultural backgrounds are acknowledged
and woven into their characters in ways that are
thoughtful, validating, and humanizing.
