  • Armenians in Syria are being massacred by the Islamic State but she is fucking complaining about violence in gaming? And how about female genital mutilation in Egypt, why not address that but noo, video games are evil and violent and sexist.

  • No, we shouldn't start with the vitriolic youtube videos our spouting hate. I've already said that if you don't feed into it she will go away. The best route to take is an accurate and well articulated response to her fabrications and then ignoring her. Those who go on about her on youtube is making her relevant in a way she could have never garnered on her own.

    But no, I don't think using these sorts of platforms to push an agenda through lies and misrepresentation is a step in the right direction. Her end game is social change in her image, and the video game reviews is the propaganda she is using to get it. I think it is repellent that people in the gaming industry are slinking away and even supporting her by allowing her to consult on games. We have done this before, crack open a history book and witness the results with people allow these type of extremists agendas to foster. It ain't pretty and it means justice for none.

  • When she's going to take over the world and we all have to pluck our eyebrows like she does I will come back to this and admit that you were correct. Until then I keep thinking the extremists here are the enraged gamers and not her and that this:

    Her end game...

    and this:

    sounds a little paranoid.

  • So many people talk about that stuff though. What can someone like Sarkeesian add to that conversation?

    For the record, I disagree with most of Sarkeesian's points. I just think that your argument is a really bad one. There are companies out there whose actions literally kill people. That's not going to stop me from complaining about game developers releasing broken products (I'm looking at you, Arkham Knight), even though they're pretty damn good companies when you compare them to Halliburton. Your most recent post was complaining about Telltale not making TWAU 2. If I told you that you couldn't complain about that because children are dying in Africa, you'd call me an asshole, and you'd be right.

  • Ah... so what do you expect to happen when this bucket is full?

    This woman again? I fail to understand how she is still relevant (or could still be relevant). Alas, let us do a quick google search in r

  • She's gotten her millions already. Now we should just wait for her to be exposed as the fraud she really is.

    Well you listening to her,talking about her..., you fell for her bait. Have you ever heard the expression, "Any publicity is good publicity?

  • Does she complain about the quality of the games? I think not, she argues that the supposed sexism in games somehow hurts women, which is false. If Anita made videos bashing game bugs, the big delays of new TTG episdoes or broken games at release I would be fine with that. She is saying that women are hurt by the game industry because some games have sexy female characters or some stupid shit. Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia women can't drive a car or go outside without a male guardian. She is stupid but the real idiots are the ones that donate to her.

    Our games are getting more and more violet .And the females in videogames continue to be over sexualization.

    And what would that be?

  • Cope49Cope49 Banned

    Yeah they do. She has a rather large fanbase and the attention of most of the gaming companies.

    Fuck off Anita, no one takes your shit seriously.

  • Games where just as violent in the past, nowdays the technology is just a bit better. The only game company that really overdoes the sexuality of female characters is Bioware, but as a male gamer I actually disliked that because it broke the immersion in Dragonage, there is no purpose whatsoever to have a chest revealing armor. Most of games I play - Fallout, TWD, TFTB, Tomb Raider (the new one), Max Payne and so on does not have that. But in the end it boils down to a question, does this hurts women? Is this an actual issue? My answer is no, because if you take Anitas stance then you basically deny the beauty of female body and support covering up in burkas, because oh god if some male would find that attractive.
