 Original poster is my mom's cousin. The linked article is your typical smugness about "kids today" and "parents today" and "in my day we didn't use seatbelts" kind of bullshit. My mom's cousin responded with "I can't figure out how any of us survived. Did kids not have allergies in the 70's?"

I think it's pretty amusing that such a giant icon of feminism in the video games industry lives at home in her parent's basement.

He's probably playing with a top, kids used to use long cords to make them spin back in the olden days. Macaluso posted:Or maybe it's ANITA HERSELF?? It's hilarious that Anita and pretty much every other woman in gaming that's even slightly famous has become the center of all kinds of elaborate conspiracy theories. Of course then they bust out the death threats and start calling/showing up at their homes and it becomes less funny.

I dislike Anita Sarkeesian even though I support her general message of equality for women in gaming, because I think a lot of her specific analysis is flawed and she's just generally too sensationalist. I do not wish for her to be raped or killed. This is a controversial opinion.

What IS hilarious, is that this is being portrayed as a feminist issue when *everyone* that posts something that narks some people off will get said death threats because the internet is full of people that love to rile up other people, dox people, and make them feel a little terrified, it was even SA's MO a decade ago. Of course, I guess it might be a little less hilarious if the forums hadn't been de-tumblr'ed.

Although, they did prove that Quinn was pretending to be harassed to distract from, or draw attention to, whatever she wanted. some pretty manipulative stuff is going on these days, and as the image says at the bottom, scrutiny is not a sin.

Problem is a lot of the time they don't have proof of anything or care, it's just enough to offend them that there's a woman involved in their hobby that they treat like a secret club. And then they post about it like womankind as a whole is having secret meetings about how best to destroy the industry or something.

I wonder if the irony of these hateful pricks that take video games way too seriously lashing out at Sarkeesian just proves her point, dawns on them at all. EDIT: Excels posted:Although, they did prove that Quinn was pretending to be harassed to distract from, or draw attention to, whatever she wanted. Who cares? It's video games.

I've honestly never watched any of her vids, but I do love (minus the death threats, of course) just how much she seems to be pushing the buttons of gamers just by daring to put herself out there, and getting them to reveal themselves for the emotionally insecure

I don't know where you get the impression she doesn't have a thick skin. She has been getting death and rape threats since day one, and she keeps pushing on with what she's doing even though she gets them constantly every day. She's not even "stepping back". She was getting rape/death threats alongside her actual address and felt it wasn't safe to be at her home.

Her comments on the gender spectrum and transphobia in this video (~12:10) suggest otherwise.

Related, there's this thing that's been going around, where someone's trying to get people to boycott game publishers for terrible crimes like "supporting SJWs." Naturally a bunch of people are treating it as a shopping list rather than a boycott list.

Honestly you're getting really close to sounding just like the manchildren we're making fun of with all this "she's probably harassing herself for attention and credibility!" There's a lot of lovely people on the internet that seem to think threats/insults are part of a legitimate debate, I don't see what's farfetched about it.Guilty Spork posted:At this point she's basically Obama for gaming in that if I did want to find out what legitimate wrongs she might've done, her totally hysterical critics have made it basically impossible to find anything critical of her that doesn't reek of bias if not outright insanity. And this is basically what I was originally trying to get at in the first place, just phrased much better.

This whole "feminists are ruining the industry" thing is going to end in a crazy person shooting someone and people are still going to be saying "Well okay maybe that woman didn't deserve that but I don't think you understand, she had bad opinions."
