There are no women in TF2 so only equality has been raped.
Which is not a crime in the US.

The announcer is a womyn. This is even worse since they admit the existance of womyn in the game world but do not allow them to be active agents in it. They have raped her ability to act. The newest tf2 video depicts a new womyn character who is solely an object of one of the other character's rape fantasies. Why hasn't Sarkeesian sounded off on this one? It's been like two months already.

This is not to mention all the custom character models that have been going on since 2007. Touhou Fortress is a thing. More like girl child rape fortress simulator. With anime.

game dev cheated repeatedly on her boyfriend with games journalists, boyfriend posted all the details to the internet after they broke up, kicked off a huge outrage about games journalism since lots of gamers were already upset about lovely journalism and corruption, games journalism outright refused to cover the story despite covering other similar stories in the past, which threw the streisand effect into overdrive. phil fish. more poo poo gets dug up about zoe quinn's activity, turns out she'd been trying to shut down other actually feminist groups and events, she double downs on not negotiating with terrorists. game journalists begin showing outright contempt for their userbase and collaborate to write articles explaining how the term "gamer" is now a slur. the suits get mad and yell at their employees for loving things up.

Anyone who defines themselves by the way they spend money is an annoying fuckhead.

It doesn't matter if you're a "gamer" or a "Pro Poker player" or a "Birder". No one likes that guy.

Also if you took any of the Tropes v Women videos and replaced Sarkeezy with Charlie Brooker, they'd have to hire a dumptruck to deliver all the BAFTA's they'd be trying to jam into his hands.

people get really lovely when you point out this sort of thing about her. but it's, like, anita's job and career and it's pretty clear that that is how she views it - a way to make money and recognition.

but the thing is, the fact that she isn't a gamer is what allows her to point all this poo poo out how she does. it's a good thing. you don't need to be a gamer to be able to say, hey, there's issues in video games. i mean, it'd be better if she did actually play the games and use her own footage but whatever.

Why are they making this worse for themselves at every opportunity?

The news first breaks. It starts being posted. You can allow it or delete it. It might be bad if the former happens but the internet doesn't pay attention to anything longer than a day, no one will know outside of 4chan if the latter happens. They choose to allow it, but delete all comments so it hits the front page of one of the biggest sites on the internet with everyone wondering 'What's this topic about, why does it have 20,000 deleted comments?'. People who wouldn't have cared now care because that's not normal, and everyone loves a good Streisand Effect. Let the internet know something is taboo and they never let it go.

Then a bunch of journalists come together and start gamer-shaming at the same time and suddenly everyone starts looking at them. If they had all just kept quiet the whole mess would have avoided them entirely, but now people are connecting the dots between those journalists and everyone already involved in the mess and it's so much worse for all of them.

:psyduck: Why are they doing this to themselves? Do none of them have a PR guy? They're stoking the fires and it's not in their best interest to do so.
