Apparently unaware of the fact that Binary Domain was a Japanese game made by Japanese people. p sure that Japanese people did not make the English localization.

Yeah, both accounts were talking about how anyone who cheered at the Doom 4 trailer was psychotic and a danger to society, basically.

Binary Domain is a game everyone should play. Big Bo is one of video game's greatest characters. It's only flaw that game had was that team British got side-lined about half-way in. We needed more of team no-nonsense.

All these so-called 'social justice' on Twitter is complete bullshit, I feel like Twitter is full of a bunch of loving mongoloids retweeting hashtags and trends for no reason other than they're topical and somehow important. I feel like activists who support the 'free the nipple' campaign never heard of streaking or nude beaches before (to be honest, I never cared for most modern online campaigns because I have better things to do). But seriously, all I'm asking is for Twitter (and Tumblr) to grow some loving balls.

Twitter activism is very low effort and is really only there to make yourself feel good. It's nice to feel like your making a difference in stuff but hashtags rarely change anything, if at all. It's good for raising awareness but for changing anything? Nope. That's why I think McIntosh is a blowhard. He raves on his and his girlfriend's twitter accounts but with 140 character limits you can't say anything noteworthy or useful. His energy would be better spent on a blog and use his twitter to link to it. Better yet, promote or fund games that he wants to see more of rather than complain he's tired of seeing violent games or Tomb Raider isn't following regulation mountaineering standards or some-such inane silliness.

Wheat Loaf posted:Honestly, I actually quite like how Hbomberguy described it a while back - Sarkeesian is, to some of these people, a kind of "load-bearing feminist". She is the most prominent commentator who critiques computer games from a feminist perspective, and is thus emblematic of all commentators who critique games from a feminist perspective. Thus, if only she can be destroyed, then the entire edifice of feminism in game criticism will come crumbling down with her. Well, I mean, that's how it works in video games... Kill the big bad and then the whole island/spaceship/planet asplodes and then you get a poorly translated congratulation text and maybe a victory image.

If you're really going to complain about the status of video games and how violent/sexist they are, then you're better off making an article or a documentary about it. The main problem though is trying to stay unbiased. I get that if you're opinionated, you may have to throw in your own two cents to the status, but if you become too biased or too focused on 'here's what these people should to video games' and all that, you're losing your main purpose of making a point or a speech about whatever it is you're focusing on. I know it seems obvious, but I get the feeling McIntosh and Sarkeesian haven't grasped that yet and they're spending too much time focusing on what they went rather than analysing what the mainstream want. Also, they seem to miss the point of certain games like when they tweeted the E3 trailers to DOOM, feeling shocked over how 'too gory and violent' the game is and how people are 'cheering over bodies being ripped apart'...when that's the whole point of DOOM in the first place.

Breaking the law and designated safe zones don't change that? Also mongoloids is a racial term.

One thing I don't get about making women's breasts exposed normal is if they're making it legal then what's the point of public decency? Also there are places where they have the freedom to get naked like in nude beaches, so I don't know why they're not happy to have some freedom at least. But for the most part, I'm just angry at Twitter. Also, you do know I mean the other kind of mongoloid, right?

If you think men's exposed breasts are fine but women's breasts alone are disgusting you're part of the problem, no one's asking to walk around with their genitals hanging out, and it isn't about women who want to have their breasts out, it's about the existance of a double standard that sexualizes and censors a part of women's bodies for no reason when the same isn't done to mens' breasts. It's basically the same thing as hardcore Islam saying women have to be entirely covered up but men can walk around fine. Also, "they should be happy to have SOME freedoms" is a horrible argument(and again, doesn't understand what's actually being argued). In fact so is "what the mainstream wants" and so is "uh that's the whole point of the game", and I'm saying that as someone who cringed hard at Anita's comments.

It's basically the same thing as hardcore Islam says women have to be entirely covered up but men can walk around fine. I never said exposing women's breasts were disgusting, if someone wants to get naked if they have a reason then I have no problem with that; but if making both genders' sexual organs uncensored becomes legal, wouldn't that just make more sexism like when guys catcall some girls to 'show their tits', or is it supposed to have some counter-effect like if we saw more dicks and boobs out in the open we don't think they're sexy anymore? Also, if it's legal, wouldn't if influence kids and make them think 'if they're doing it, then I should do it too'? Look, I don't care what they do with their bodies, but there must be some standards we can agree on.
