Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis representasi karakter-karakter perempuan dalam video game Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018), yang berfokus kepada bagaimana mereka memiliki atau menentang stereotip gender. Karakter-karakter yang dipilih dalam penelitian ini meliputi Sadie Adler, Abigail Roberts, Susan Grimshaw, dan Tilly Jackson, yang dipilih berdasarkan durasi kemunculan mereka. Penelitian ini menganalisis karakter-karakter tersebut melalui dialog dan naratif untuk mengidentifikasi stereotip menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis interpretatif. Untuk mengklasifikasi representasi karakter-karakter tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan kerangka stereotip gender Copenhaver (2002) yang mengkategorikan stereotip ke dalam empat aspek: karakteristik perilaku, pola komunikasi, sumber kekuasaan, dan penampilan fisik. Setelah diklasifikasikan, karakter-karakter tersebut akan dianalisis melalui lensa feminisme liberal untuk menentukan apakah mereka menolak norma patriarkal dan dapat mengakses nilai-nilai feminisme liberal seperti pendidikan yang setara, kebebasan, dan hak-hak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setiap karakter memiliki kecenderungan yang berbeda. Sadie menolak stereotip gender dengan lebih banyak menunjukkan sifat maskulin, yang memberinya akses terhadap kebebasan dan hak. Abigail memiliki karakter yang kompleks; meskipun ia berperan sebagai seorang istri dan ibu, ia menunjukkan perlawanan dengan menolak menjadi wanita pasif, yang memungkinkannya untuk mendapatkan nilai-nilai feminisme liberal. Susan secara kuat menentang stereotip dengan menjadi sosok pemimpin yang tegas dan berani, namun ia justru menginternalisasi nilai-nilai patriarkal. Terakhir, Tilly sebagian besar mengimplementasi stereotip gender dan mengikuti ekspektasi patriarki, namun ia mampu menunjukkan perlawanan melalui keberaniannya. ***** This study analyzes the portrayal of female characters in the video game Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018), focusing on whether they conform to or challenge gender stereotypes. The selected characters in this study include Sadie Adler, Abigail Roberts, Susan Grimshaw, and Tilly Jackson, who are chosen based on their screen time appearances. This study analyzes those characters through dialogues and narrative in order to determine their stereotypes using a descriptive-analytical interpretative method. First, the dialogues will be classified using Copenhaver’s (2002) gender stereotype framework, which categorizes stereotypes into behavior characteristics, communication patterns, source of power, and physical appearance. After their traits are classified, they are then interpreted using a liberal feminist lens to determine whether their stereotypes reject patriarchal norms, and instead, allow them access to liberal feminist values such as equal education, liberty, and rights. The results show that each character is somewhat different. Sadie strongly rejects gender stereotypes by predominantly embodying masculine traits and roles, which allows her access to liberty and rights. Abigail is complex; while she conforms to the patriarchal expectation of being a wife and mother, she shows resistance, breaking stereotypes in refusing to be submissive, granting her liberal feminist values. Susan also breaks stereotypes by being a strict and fearless overseer, but she aligns with patriarchal values, as seen in how she tends to internalize them. Last, Tilly mostly conforms to gender stereotypes and patriarchal expectations; however, she is able to show resistance through her bravery.
