Are you kidding me? I don't want to get into all the reasons why Jim Sterling is an awful games 'journalist', or an attention seeking misogynistic cunt because that's off topic, but you can get the picture that everything this guy says tends to rub me the wrong way. And even as a joke that video was completely shallow and…
I've yet to play the additional Da Vinci mission, though I think it's fairly unwarranted for Ubisoft to add such events for an historical figure that, as far as I'm aware, has no evidence to support. It's one of the issues I have with the series when it comes to trying to portray something historically accurate, yet goes…
Of course there are extremists out there of all stripes. The straw feminist trope addresses the idea that *all* feminists or anyone professing any interest in feminism is a femminazi, which is absurd. Obviously it's at times useful to turn real life people into characatures for a laugh, but how often do you see reasonable…
wow. I thought this thread was dumb before but damn, this thread got REALLY dumb, REALLY quick. Let's all stop and recompose ourselves for a little bit, ok? Don't give me any reasons to do what I've been wanting to do for almost a year and shut this stupid thing down.
To add more to the WiR discussion. What about the most pointless death of all the male heroes? Jason Tod being beat to death by Joker with a tire iron. They killed Batman's only sidekick to make the story-line more interesting and it involved a male victim. Note I realize this is probably more of an exception to the rule.
Well that's basically what I was saying all along. We can (and will) sit here and argue about how much attention this issue needs and how to fix it, while meanwhile the industry (and world) will just slowly get there, after all: all the guys here who are irritated with complaints about the depiction of women have always…
after looking through a lot of her stuff, i have to say she is not objective at all and is not even trying to be. first i thought the comparison on the picture above are false, but after watching almost all of her videos, i have to admit it is true (except for her doing nothing and getting money for it). she totaly…
Take all of this woman's money, give it to Johnathan Holmes: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZcOHG8pyng&feature=share&list=PL75EF4B538D021386"]Talking to Women about Videogames: Lollipop Chainsaw - YouTube[/ame] Then let him give it to women because men speaking and making decisions for women about women's rights is…
Cliffy does seem confused in the disclaimer though, he will eventually have to decide if his games were a part of the problem or if sarkeesian was wrong in _his_ particular wrong-doing. To be seen in fighting fuck toy I would guess. I do believe he has all the good intention though, and that is much needed in the industry…
So you think we should make female characters in games fatter and fatter as time progresses because obesity is becoming more common? Sounds like a plan..... Edit: I should probably clarify i mean all characters no just female, however females are what we are mainly talking about here.
