NutritiousSnack posted:Twitter feminism is good and if you feel the need to denounce this single brand of feminism, you aren't like the feminists of yore during the Porn Wars of the eighties but an MRA PUA GamerGator...we know this was the claim of fringe anti sex feminists in the 80's and viciously mocked as more destructive then sexist social conservatives in feminist literature like The Handmaiden's Tale, but it also true this time. Nah, I'm pretty sure calling a rival feminist a nagging girlfriend and a damsel for nerds to protect is just super weird and creepy.

I dunno, some of her complaints I don't see but it's kinda funny because that's how it works with nearly every single critic in existence. Getting mad she says some nerds and game reviewers fanatically defend Anita because she brings a a curmudgeon of credibility to their hobby and allow them to practice masculinity affirming benevolent sexism shouldn't even a debate it's so obvious. It's single handily the largest single complaint of male feminists by other feminists. Hell her vague point that Anita occasionally sensationalizes or just plain gets poo poo wrong isn't exactly something that should shock people. There is a weird cult like mentality that what really is a milquetoast critique of another feminist critic and more prominently fanbase that kinda proves the whole poo poo storm surrounding her isn't just white middle class nerd culture but how internet forms tribal communities that constantly war with one another.

Because, of course, nobody could be swayed by her actual arguments.

Darth Walrus posted:You got any evidence to back that up? Because from what I've seen, her vids have had a pretty big audience. Here's a huge long editorial from the writer of Borderlands 2 responding to a tiny portion of his script being discussed in a tiny portion of one of the Damsel videos: http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/1077/inside-the-box-inclusivity quote:So, yes. I wanna talk about inclusivity in Borderlands 2, but I also wanna point out that the following examples aren’t perfect, by any means. After all, I haven't forgotten that Borderlands 2 was rightfully mentioned in Anita Sarkeesian's (extremely intelligent and important) Tropes vs Women in Video Games series and I will make it my goal to never be highlighted in such a context again. Then of course Tim Schaefer basically became one of the fronts against GG in the industry because he linked Anita's last video, the one that got her chased out of her house by death threats. Of course, she also received an Ambassador Award from the Game Developer's Conference, which is pretty much our only professional industry show (E3 is the trade show.) http://www.gamechoiceawards.com/archive/ambassador.html Gamers responded by threatening to blow up the convention center. Even Liana K there was complaining that Bioware was allowing her criticism to alter the lore of Dragon Age to make it more "feminst". But you're right, nobody really does listen to her or anything. I mean, it's not like this entire loving derail happened because Time Magazine thought she ranked on a list with Pewdiepie for influential people or anything.

Getting one million or so views isn't really a big deal (and less), Dragonball Z the abridged series and as do obscure anime musical intros. Keep in mind every single time when her videos dropped 4chan was the first to start a viewing thread to make fun of them and comment on them together. Anytime any of her videos opened up to voting tens of thousands (if not more) downvoted them into a oblivion just because their gamerz and she's the enemy, without using fancy internet tricks and just out of numbers and weird rear end spite. Neogaf and other sub communities on her side or sick of this poo poo tried forming voting brigades of their own but it never moved the meter whatsoever. I mean look at how quickly "15 invisible benefits of gaming while male" had to be shut down when it was supposed to...I don't dunno when it wad the first one left open forever. And on her Steam curator page is loving small. Which sounds unimportant and normally would be, but that's who she's supposed to be reaching out to. Rebochan posted:But you're right, nobody really does listen to her or anything. There is a huge difference between getting token nods by the industry when women participation in their fields (on the production end) continues to fall off a loving cliff and forming the connection to the gaming community which was one of the goals. To put it another way. #GamerGate formed partially because some of them feared her "growing influence" in the industry and aGGros formed because they fear she has none.

Jimbot posted:No one should use Anthony Burch for a positive example of anything ever. Anthony Burch is the most fake, hypocritical rear end in a top hat ever. He inserts social justice and politics into his writing and brags about it on twitter while almost all of the humor in Borderlands comes from "Psychos". He actually admitted all the ableism in Borderland was awful but that it was too much a part of the series to change. "In for a penny in for a pound" isn't a loving excuse, you dick! I just hate him so much. Everything he says about feminism and poo poo is manufactured to make people like him and give him money, which is true of all the forced social justice stuff in Borderlands, including the stuff written by other people. Janey Springs' entire character is being a lesbian and sexually harassing the other girls in the cast. Nearly every line is about how she likes women. It's so cringe worthy. Even I feel like the series has gone out of it's way to beat people's head in with it's "we're so politically correct and inclusive , don't you love us?" stuff since 2, and I'm a queer woman myself. It's so shallow and just for the sake of manipulating people into buying their terrible expansion pack sequel. Notice how there are no queer player characters, and the only same sex partner the bisexual side character is shown to have is a one off boss from one dlc, while all her other relationships are with men. Oh, but Axton was supposed to be bi, until that got cut for "controversy".

WickedHate posted:I never heard of this, can you elaborate? He pressured his wife into having an open relationship because he thought that one of his exes wanted to bone. This was despite knowing it made his wife intensely uncomfortable. As for the psychos, a lot of it is hillbilly humor repackaged. Which just like all hillbilly humor ranges from stuff I could take as good fun and generally positive to gros dehumanizing poo poo. The latter in borderlands tends to be how people just turn into sociopaths about killing anytime psychos show up on screen.

I'm kind of surprised they've never heard of Cynthia Rothrock. I thought she was pretty famous for a B movie star. Then again I could be in a different age cohort where Hong Kong imports were the thing you picked up at your local movie rental place. Just all martial arts imports, Cinemax style American titty action movies, weird poo poo horror, and the one time you picked up Faces of Death and then gave which ever friend suggested it poo poo for the next month.

I wish she had a bigger role in Shanghai Express because that flick is incredible. But she did get to shine and have a really awesome fight scene with Sammo Hung. I would like to check out Righting Wrongs (or Above the Law) sometime. I've slowly been filling out my kung-fu collection.
