Ms. Pac-Man is the most epic of heroes and this is the most descriptive video i have seen of her, never thought of it that way 

[theseanwardshow]

This is awesome because feminists hate Ms. Pac Man. Holy shit, don't let Anita Sarkeesian see this!

[PandaBeth]

Ms Pac Man is not a feminist icon. She is literally Pac Man with a bow. 

[PlayingWithMahWii]

1:15 Wow, I didn't know George W. Bush was president in 1982 as well! He hasn't aged a day since then.

[TheSaneHatter]

I grew up in the 80's, and I saw a lot more "Ms. Pac-Man" machines than "Pac-Man" games.

[TheRockyCrowe]

What about Laura Croft????
She's sexy yet can kick some serious ass with her knowledge and survival skills. Teaches little girls to be smart and not depend on a man to save you in dire situations.

[captainatt]

I always preferred ms. pacman. IT was smoother, and there wasn't old pepperoni scattered on the arcade machine...

[rileymorrison]

I could really care less wether you're a man or a woman. Both should respect each other and acknowledge the other's strengths.

[upgrader]

The game was designed to make money...  Not to promote any sort of gender equality.  I don't even have to look at the credits to know no one on the developing side of Ms. PacMan had boobs.  Well... I guess that last part could be debatable.

[Snarfindorf]

This is a bit of a fucking reach. Just because they stuck lipstick on Pac-Man doesn't make her a feminist icon, and just like what somebody else commented, she gobbles balls for money; if you're going to examine a damned video game character, at least examine both sides. 

[Gamerjman]

I hate how people who get so butthurt of a simple video. This is why I lose faith in humanity a little once a week. People just have to be assholes to eatch other I guess?

[Lyttlefoxx]

The comment section is way more interesting than the video itself. Don't forget to pop some popcorn for the main event.

[NYCrazyRob]

Pac-Man has an eye when they get together.  :D

[boxcarjakey]

How is pac-man or ms pac-man sexy in anyway..

[JakDax]

I think she is the opposite of a gender equality hero. Before her, Pac-Man used to be a neutral character. 

[Jalenlane]

Correct me if my wrong but all Mrs Pacman did was gobble balls for 25 cents until she died.

[davidkoch]

Remember everyone, this is totally not satire.

[blinkett]

Actually Ms. Pac-man was really cool to have as a little girl.  Still one of my all time favorite games.

[joel]

Wait ist this supposed to be on buzzfeed yellow

[STFUFuck]

So i'm guessing Buzzfeed is worshiping Ms. Pac-Man now.
