So did they just make up reasons to get porn stars in a documentary about "video game journalism"? Or what were they there for?

They don't like sex-negative feminism, I guess. I haven't watched the whole drat thing, I'm not insane.

My friend dated Davis back in 2011 or so, I went over to hang out with them at his place twice. He was really obsessed with military and horribly angry at everything in the world. He also loved showing people rule 34 of cartoon characters like Land Before Time. Anyway, he ended up beating the poo poo out of her and putting her in the hospital which quickly put an end to his presence in my life.

And now I have the fortune of having known one of the most pathetic excuses of a man in modern internet history.

This whole thing really does scream "bad internet porn"

That woman looks as if she is sitting as far as possible from her interviewer. Like if he moved closer, she'd move off the couch to maintain a 10ft distance between them.

Thing is, there are women who take the "assault" on sexy video game characters as if its a slut shaming thing, that evil prudish feminists are complaining about women being sexy and such, but the thing is, these are characters designed by men, to appeal to men, and there is very little variation of women in most games.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Here's a thing I just realized.Why are the MRAs/MGTOW/knobheads arguing about 'sexy ladies' in videogames/biotruthers etc so humourless?

I mean it's the first thing they accuse the Feminazis of, that they can't take a joke and need to lighten up. But these fuckwads take themselves and the righteousness of their cause SO SO seriously, and fly into rage when you giggle at how ludicrous they look and are acting.

Taking this idea down a step, it's the same with anyone who posts 'edgy' political humour. (Usually Obongo, or Hitlery type stuff). If you don't laugh, and say "hey dude, that's not funny", rather than shrugging it off like an easy going person who made a joke, they get all pissy and angry and declare that you are the one who needs to calm down and lighten up and grow a sense of humour, (all while they are frothing at the mouth with rage because you dared to not find their racism/sexism etc. funny.)

I suppose my point is, if it's "just a bit of fun", then why do they get so angry and defensive when it's criticised? And if it's the feminazis who need to get a sense of humour, why can't they laugh at themselves?

Because they're consumed by, in no particular order, their own ego, a raging persecution complex, and a crippling lack of self awareness.

I can't get over the long hairs right under his ponytail. Either he's wearing his lowtail incorrectly or his back hair's making a break for it.

Also, your job as interviewer/presenter is to present your subject in an appropriate manner. Stay off camera, use a light touch when steering the conversation, etc. This is a good documentary on how not to do a documentary.

Given she also published a paper arguing against child pornography laws I'm going to go with the terrible things option.

To her defense, the main point of the paper is mostly regarding censorship in depictions of it, eg censorship of video game costumes as they cross international borders. There's probably some more in there, but I really just gave it a breeze through, not one for critical understanding.
To add an extra bit of context to this, some GGrs found her profile, mislabeled her employment(said she was PR but she's actually product...management? or something), and got her fired from Nintendo, even though she actually argues against the very thing they hate, censorship

This girl has some weird priorities. Falling over herself to protect innocent groups like "pedophiles" from discrimination. Protecting actual children, though? gently caress 'em.

Or at least they would if she had her way

Interested in knowing the over/under of people concerned over this woman's poorly worded tweets and getting her fired for depriving them of their waifu groping mini-game in Fire Emblem (which she had no control over) and those who are statutory enthusiasts themselves.

An anti-child trafficking charity was the one who contacted Nintendo and set the ball rolling, and Nintendo's official statement had nothing to do her pedo lust anyway. No doubt this would have stayed quiet if internet hashtags hadn't gotten involved, but c'mon.

As a marketing manager she's awkward and dumb as gently caress for making those comments in any case.
