the only proper way to respond to a crime is to report the crime to the police, or forget about it if you don't want to do that. Anything else is attention-whoring.

I remember when I was allowed to play videogames without turning them into massive gender politics shitfests, and I miss that world.

Is Quake sexist because the protagonist is a hard-edged cishet male and all the monsters appear to be masculine as well now?

Based on other people's notes on her videos, it appears she doesn't play games and instead browses the Longplays.org site to find games that have women in them. This lack of understanding led her to drop some points of praise on Bayonetta because she thought the main character was a strong single mother.

I was going to say this one game, but I'm sure Anita will wrap it into being a game about two male players taking turns bashing a helpless woman across the screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it0sf4CMDeM

Anita Sarkeesian: Faith from Mirror's Edge and Jade from Beyond Good and Evil are two of my all time favourite female characters. Both are featured as the heroic protagonists of their own games without being sexualized, objectified or otherwise reduced to their gender. I also really appreciate the fact that Chell is the star of the amazing Portal series even though she is a silent protagonist.

Let's make a dramatic stand against misogyny and sexism by defending someone who qualifies as an all around horrible person. This is where we make our stand against the nerds. No longer will they pollute our game-o-sphere with their horrible ways!

It's kinda hilarious how serious this has become while Zoe doesn't do anything but get worse. The noble crusaders are deaf and dumb, apparently.

I thought that game was really boring and not very fun myself, but it had a strong female protagonist that was not overly sexualized and people seem to love it therefore it has some level of intrinsic value as a piece of cultural art. 7/10

Can I get a job in games journalism now or do I have to gently caress someone and write a 10/10 review of their slideshow still.

edit:

also, to be fair, the DICE game I do play is BF4 and that gets a 4/10 despite the fact I enjoy it because it didn't even run on PC for 6 loving months after release.

She seems like she's into getting smacked around a little though. You know, a little pretend mugging here and there to get her in the mood by roleplaying being a victim.

I think it shows how messed up this whole thing is when she MIGHT have been actually attacked (lots of crazy assholes out there) and my first thought is eh, it's probably fake like the other stuff.

You don't know that story? She's a conservative around the time of the 2008 election, and she claimed Barack Obama supporters carved the B in her face. It didn't go over too well, for obvious reasons.

i mean, obviously if he raped someone he deserves everything bad that happens to him but his accuser made a blog post and then disappeared forever. he will never be a convicted rapist, he will never be an acquitted rapist. for the rest of his life he will just be the accused rapist.

not sure how i feel about gawkers coverage considering kotaku thinks unsubstantiated personal poo poo shouldn't be shared

This is seriously loving gross.

Accused by a random woman who has no issue in persuing her accusations further than saying "I don't want to cause poo poo for him or anything" :rolleyes:
