i think if youve reached the point where youre inventing a reverse-hagiography about a woman who makes boring entry-level videos about princess peach you might be a crazy person

I am kind of confused about all the hand wringing about this Mcintosh guy, the dude has been talking about the new Batman game and I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he has to say about it. Batman is a downright rear end in a top hat in that game and it's either me growing up or just oversaturated with Batman stuff, but I find the character of Batman boring as hell.I said come in! posted:It's just that the entire point of FemFrequency is that it is about women in entertainment. I really don't see how this helps your argument.

No, one of the biggest historians on slavery (Ira Berlin) is a white guy. I don't see how that affects what Anita has to say. I mean, Anita can still choose to say what she wants in the end. Dapper_Swindler posted:pretty much this. have someone like laura K fight sexism in gaming. at least she likes video games, is interesting to listen and doesn't have a victim complex a mile wide. When you get death threats, you no longer really have a victim complex, you are actually a victim. Also, I don't know why people think she doesn't like video games, and even then try to use it to discredit people. You don't have to be a slave to understand the legacy that came from it.

The biggest point against McIntosh is that on twitter he's a raving lunatic, not that he's a white man writing parts of Anita's blog.

Bedlamdan posted:whaaaaa? Popular Thug Drink posted:NYPD: SJWs That's why they choked the black manto death for smoking. What if he would have sold those cigarettes to children? http://m.snopes.com/2015/06/02/manspreading-arrest/ Other biased sites like breitbart went crazy about it. But the snopes article correctly, though disingenuously suggests that since "manspreading" doesn't have a particular criminal code, they were obviously not arrested for manspreading. The violation is a standard "subway ticket" that you would get for passing between cars, sleeping, etc. IT JUST SO HAPPENS that these two people had outstanding warrants and when they were ticketed for the violation of "manspreading" they had their IDs run and lo and behold, they had other outstanding warrants. so therefore no one should ever complain about this Just and Necessary policy, that just so happens to target males who happen to be darker then a paper bag. Also apparently stop and frisk was cool and good too.

By the way, I have been meaning to check out that new GTFO movie, has anyone seen it yet? Shadoer posted:Yeah i have to agree. The biggest point against McIntosh is that on twitter he's a raving lunatic, not that he's a white man writing parts of Anita's blog. I have only recently started following the guy on twitter, as I said before, his latest stuff is about how Batman is a male power fantasy that tortures people throughout the games. I wouldn't really call that lunacy considering I agree with him on that point.

Like I can sort of see where he's coming from on the "lots of games are excessively violent" front (though I think that's a good thing) but he's pretty much a wet towel made flesh.

People think Anita doesn't like video games because there is a video of her from 2010 in which she says that she doesn't like video games. Of course, she claims to have changed her mind since then, but you can't really blame people for wondering after seeing that.

if you take that she doesn't write the things she says, then why are people getting so mad at her? that's like getting mad at a news anchor for saying that somebody ran your cat over the cat in this case is video game's.

Not just that, he worried that the trailer might inspire people to go off and climb mountains unsafely like Lara does in the video. Seriously, who has a mountain in their backyard that they could just walk off and unsafely climb on a whim?

XMNN posted:It's not exactly an original reading of the subtext though. Like it's pretty much the text at this point. Some people are pretty blind to text as it stands. I pretty much saw tons of people attacking him for having such a benign opinion. But as for my opinion on the whole thing, I will be glad to get some more protagonists that aren't white males and I really don't understand why they don't try to branch out a bit. I mean, Resident Evil as a franchise is teeming with characters and they are all white people with the exception of Sheva and Ada. Basically, why can't more games be like Beyond Good and Evil when it comes to diversifying?

Remember when religious fundamentalists were arguing against gay pride parades and showing gay couples because it made them feel uncomfortable, and they shouldn't flaunt that stuff in their faces, and it was really disgusting? What's really the difference between that and the tumblr version of triggers?
