 Punchy's conclusion is simply wrong.
 === Aside - Femininity, horror and agency ===
-Around his Sango segment, Punchy takes a shot at ‘media discourse’ surrounding gender.((:fn:>He says that he wouldn't describe them as ‘woke’ because the games predate <q>“media discourse becoming fucking unbearable”</q> which, again, showcases how generally illiterate he is on these topics. ‘Woke’ refers to SocJus, which is Post-Modernist and Post-Modernism goes back to the 1960s (in the US; older if we look at the French origins). Post-Modernism also has a minor presence in Japan. So, in fact, something from the 90s //can// be ‘woke’.\\  Nitpicking of the highest order? Of course, but I think this is further evidence that Punchy got stuck in the sauce.)) He briefly mentions that <q>“it's almost like female agency is central to a lot of horror games”</q> so this aside exists to address that.

 The games he lists include <cite>Rule of Roses</cite>, <cite>Clock Tower 3</cite>, <cite>Silent Hill 3</cite>, <cite>Haunting Grounds</cite>, <cite>Silent Hill ƒ</cite> and a few other games that I don't recognize.
