I'm going to make a indie game that's a clone of pong, but instead of paddles you use two pre-op transsexuals dicks and the ball is a unborn fetus that represents the child you can never have while random text about birth is flashed across the bottom of the screen. I'll call it "Unreachable" and pretend I'm a girl and ask Kotaku to review it.

Let's have a long and serious discussion about Anita Sarkeesian in the Zoe is a bad person thread. I want to discuss everything about her personality, all the funny facts such as that a kickstarter asking for $6000 got $160000, that her video output is slow, that she totally broke the law by taking footage from longplays.org and didn't credit them, that she sounds bored in her video, that she's teaching feminism 101. I want all the details about how everyone in the thread feels about her physical appearance, her earrings, how she totally misinterpreted that game you liked. Let's really dig in and open up about how much we adore or dislike her videos, how she totally manufactures death threats and should grow thicker skin. And every picture of her must have a "would" or "wouldn't". This is funny. The cuck meme

In between stealing video game footage from other videos and Let's Plays (which you'd think would be not necessary given she made tons of money off the initial kickstarter campaign) there's also things like the footage in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqJCCnued6c No, this isn't some "true gamer" bullshit that you get from reddit, either, I just think it more than a bit suspicious that a woman makes a poo poo load of money to put forward a feminist critique off video games, releases her videos at an absolute snail's pace and makes no greater critiques besides "Boy, Damsels in Distress are kind of lame, why can't the damsels do stuff instead?" which is like...I dunno...just struck me as a little weak? Especially since she uses Peach and Zelda as examples--Peach, who has been playable in Mario games numerous times and Zelda, who is among the most powerful and important beings IN the Zelda universe, and... Like, a lack of agency does not diminish nor weaken a woman's importance in the plot by default. Look at Skyler White in Breaking Bad--and ignoring the actress decrying those who disliked her as misogynists, at least for the moment. She has very little agency throughout the story, and by season 5 she is essentially a hostage to the plot that by and large requires her in no meaningful way, but her importance to the show is not lessened because her lack of agency presents a great deal of the emotional angst of the surrounding characters' descent into evil. As she slowly loses her moral high ground and enters into illegal dealings like Walt does--with even LESS actual success--her lack of agency is not a prop to objectify her with poor writing, but an actual literal and metaphorical binding that shackles her to the ongoing train wreck that her life has become. Also she apparently told EA to make Mirror's Edge easier because women are stupid and can't play video games like us penis havers. Well, besides all that, Anita Sarkeesian inspired this nonsense and for that I can never forgive her. BottledBodhisvata fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Aug 28, 2014 |

Literally every argument about Anita boils down to "do you enjoy the nerd rage caused by Anita's videos or are you actually feeling enlightened by the college entry level garbage she's passing off as important critical analysis of video games", and most people say A, with the people saying B turning out to be the biggest laughing stocks possible

It worked for that girl who made a board game then went back and said Ra the sun god told her not to release it cause it uses his secrets. Your own kickstarter, gofundme, or patreon can be to quit your job so you can moderate full time.
