I'm just following the logic you've been dictating.

The logic of saying that non-sexualized characters can exist means that all characters are sexualized. Well, you've got me. The only way to respond to this is with violence, because you have made it clear that you will not use language. Please stand still.

The problem here is that GG doesnt have any real people to mock outside of Milo Yianopolous and I guess that one Moldbuggian guy since its an anonymous movement.

Meanwhile everyone on the anti side is posting about this poo poo with thier real names and theyre easier to mock.

Pretty much. Sargon was funny when he was doing his common core and digra tinfoil rants, but he stopped. King of Pol was a huge idiot and funny, but got booted our when he lied about a Facebook post by Gawker.

I don't believe actual "feminists" hate anything, but I do believe the folks participating in outrage culture, identity politics, and whatever else you want to call the lunatic fringe have created a situation where they have bluffed certain industries into believing they are a bigger market force than they actually are. You can see this by the current whining and temper tantrums thrown by the indie crowd in gaming over steam refunds and not enough people buying their "artistic" games.

You are delusional because you take someone saying that characters do not have to be sexualized to mean that all characters are sexualized. This means that you are, simply, insane, and unfortunately it is probably not amenable to treatment and something that is likely to cause annoyance to others. So it is necessary to kill you for the sake of the dozens of people you might annoy in the future. Namaste.

The second wave of feminism was actually all for high heels and cleavage, and it's only puritan revisionism that says there might be something wrong with having to put yourself on sexual display in order to move in society.

Sargon of Akkad
Thunderf00t
Kotaku In Action (as a whole)
Internet Aristocrat/whatever his name is now after he had his meltdown for a few weeks and changed his name
Adam Baldwin
Mundane Matt

They're all pretty easily mockable and cringeworthy.

Four of those names make a living or at least got notoriety for bitching about stuff in YouTube videos until people noticed.

Effectronica has been going on and on about how all women are sexualized and worthless based entirely on their clothing. For Effectronica, clothing is the only standard for which to judge women. That's pretty hosed up.

It is possible to agree with proposals such as "the women in refrigerators" problem without being on the "lunatic fringe," and if you do not believe so, it may in fact be you who are the lunatic fringe :ssh:

I doubt very much the triple-A studios give a drat about the Feminist Frequency's of the world.

There was an article a little while ago where someone made the observation that the big name studios are probably pro-GG by default, but by refusing to participate they get to keep their hands clean of the mess, let their gamer nerd proxies do the dirty work, and deny the anti-GG people the confrontation they want.

This is the only real debate between GG and anti-GG that I'm aware of:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOxDtBv9wHs

I like Pakman but he really did a bad job moderating them.

The Society of Professional Journalists is hosting a debate in August. The panelists for GG:

quote:

Milo Yiannopoulos
Brad Wardell
Cathy Young
Christina Hoff Sommers
Oliver Campbell
Mark Ceb
William Usher
Jennifer Dawe

No one from anti-GG has committed yet, although they're allowing anyone who wants to show up to remain anonymous until the debate.

I like that he has that skull on his shelf in the background of all of his videos. He's not really worth giving half a thought to most of the time, though; nobody really listens to him.
