Not derail the thread, but this is something which I kinda saw happen as a debacle not tooooo long ago. A few sites (one of them is called GoMakeSammich I think? Been a while) argued that the King of Fighters female characters were 'OK' because that is what represented in their culture, especially for the J-Pop costumes.…
A lot of sexy women aren't too concerned with objectification and fair representation as big issues. You've got to be careful of lumping all women into a single group - everyone wants different things. Looking at sexy women who are happy dressing up is kind of missing the whole point - you have to talk to the women who…
Ah, I see. Well it's definitely true that people did say that, and mention she had an axe to grind. But I don't think it's accurate to say that they said she was just angry and reactionary (sensationalist, what have you) and left it at that. There's pretty much always been another paragraph acknowledging that the problems…
Why the term "Slacktivism" is conceptually misleading: http://technosociology.org/?p=904 (and in case you're slow, what I was attempting to do is present feminist ideas and harmful stereotypes that content creators keep using over and over to a group of... content creators in games) Dude, what are you basing the first…
Wow, what a thread. Very thought provoking to say the least. I read every comment, and it took me about 3 hours to get through it all. I must say, this is a very very complicated subject. I just want to post my thoughts on the videos themselves, and the way she chooses to communicate with the audience. I personally did not…
Women In Refrigerators: Where are her statistics? Is she trying to convince people who don't see things her way to change their minds, or just using a platform to garner attention? "Does everyone remember the 1994 issue of green lantern?" Um nope. I don't read comics, and if I did, I'd hope you could come up with a recent…
Are you saying you don't think that? You do know that Wikipedia is just edited by people, right? *edit* not meaning to sound dickish here - my full thought is it's edited by anyone, and any statement on Wikipedia could be one person or one groups opinion. No, not me. but if you understood what a straw man is, and what the…
you telling me that i won't get to play myself in a game now? a mexican fighting for his rights to get a visa so i can get a new truck so i can stop going to that damn home depot to get picked up to work for the day? lol... a fun fact... did you know that movie games sell best within the hispanic comunity? After that...…
I could not sleep for an hour after my last post because this issue was still rattling in my head. Of course it's not overly righteous and I was not using that word to debase the argument, I know the ladies side of this discussion are completely sincere. I realised after my last post what you said before you said it, that…
If I am actually saying, "what about the men", how does that automatically mean that A:My intent was solely to "Derail" And that B:I automatically believe and am therefore stating that prejudice against men is exactly equal to and thus cancels out prejudice against women? In this thread alone, it would seem the only people…
