Literally The Worst posted:I'm not reading most of this but she's been pretty upfront about how it's literally supposed to be Feminism 101 because most people who shovel games down their gaping maws don't even think that hard about what they're playing, as evidenced by the outrage that she dare criticize games even that much. Who are the videos even aimed at? I know she doesn't have to say revolutionary stuff but who watches these videos and goes, "Wow, I've learnt something new!"

Literally The Worst posted:I mean I dunno about insightful but they do exactly what they claim to do so I saw 2 minutes of one linked in this thread where it mentions how dead women are portrayed in games sexually and I had never thought about that before. Anita seems to know her poo poo, good for her

Madcosby posted:how do you find this poo poo? I mean all I learned from this thread is there is a women named Anita who makes videos about misogyny in games and it sends gamers into a maddening rage. That's where it ends... do you search out anything related to this so as to find something you dislike? And all I see are zelda pics?? are we in the same world how on earth does this upset you The World's Most Useless Phallus posted:Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link. Literally The Worst posted:"Why didn't she go more in-depth in her videos that have people freaking out over the most benign criticism, videos that she was upfront about being Fem 101: Video Games Edition because she knew people were loving idiots" - a good criticism from a smart person Ah, see, I was too stupid I guess, because I'm a stupid who plays video games, to actually understand that she's literally patronizing me, I just thought she was making shallow judgments to appeal to thin notions of feminism without actually saying anything meaningful or demonstrating a knowledge of video games, game development, game mechanics or game storytelling, but you see, as she rightfully says, I'm just really loving stupid and thus my intelligence being insulted in no way diminishes the quality of her work or the massive money she makes off gullible idiots.

DrPlump posted:You are full of poo poo if something like that really happened there would be a news article about it. It only took a couple hours to report on the threats Anita received. If I would have gotten doxxed I would have taken it more seriously, but I was not going to call up Kotaku because some teenagers are furious that I "split" the community of some lovely indie mmo. I'm not even saying what I received was even remotely close to what Sarkeesian is dealing with, I was just making the point that there's no way she has to fake anything.

dMastri posted:the real travesty is that talentless hacks like zoe quinn spread the wrong message about game development, something along the lines of this commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXul4ENEYOA Tester 1: Dude, can you believe we get paid to test video games? Tester 2: What pay? We haven't been paid in a month and our last check was only for $500. Tester 1: 500 easy dollars just for playing video games. Tester 2: We're 35 years old, dude. We can't keep living like this. We don't even have health insurance. I'd leave if it weren't for my awful degree and resume. Tester 1: Why would you want to leave all this, bro? We get free Doritos and Mountain Dew everyday! Tester 2: I haven't had a real meal in three months. I think I might be developing diabetes. Tester 1: Come on, buddy, we got to get through five more levels today for the developers. Tester 2: I'm so sick of video games. Why the hell did we ever think this was a good idea? Tester 1: Pick up the controller, buddy. These orcs ain't going to slay themselves. Tester 2: I've had enough of the orcs, space marines and regular marines! I hate this life! *blows brains out with pistol* Tester 1: Whoa! Those were some sweet graphics. Could be tightened up a little though on the blood spray. Better note that for the developers.
