so here we go. obviously im going to get a bunch of shit from ignorant people who dont even know what feminism has become aswell as people who just dont want to see the truth but here goes.

feminism at its core is a man blaming victimizing process.
feminism is used to make the user seem as if they are being victimised in order to gain a following to demonize the group in question ( mainly men)
feminism is not longer about equality it is about female superiority.


so no longer can a developer have a story about a strong male role saving a female because for some reason this is misogynist.
no longer can be escape fro reality with attractive characters.

anita sarkeesian isnt actually a gamer. she has stated countless times that she hated video games before she jumped on the gaming wagon to push false feminist redirect.

if her opinion was as stated just an opinion it would be no problem. but she is actively attacking games for being violent in any aspect and attacking any game with female characters that do not suit her impossible goals. she feels that it is no longer acceptable for artistic expression to dictate the creators game. she feels that all games should fit her crazy feminist guidelines.

if you dont like the violence - dont play it
if you dont like the way a character is- dont play it
if you dont like how the story plays out - dont play it right?

apparently not true. as if all games should be in her image, as if all games should succumb to feminist ideals.

not only is she misandrist, but she is a liar. seeking 150,000$ for six 10-12 minute videos of her female characters in games tropes videos which we are yet to see more than 2 of in a long time. where is the money anita?

not only does she constantly contradict herself but she uses false information to state impossible claims of the wage gap myth and so on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJjA4lKoHPc here mr. Tj AA explaining on the video incident. of coarse most wont watch to the end like most feminists they will just flail their hands and scream lies without even considering another persons points.

this woman has gotten GTA 5 pulled from the shelves of stores because there were some hookers that could be killed..... wtf? really? when its a gta game and you can kill any gender, rob banks do drugs.... its just a game. who is she to take away someone's escape from reality for the day?

like i said if it was just an opinion and she wasn't actively demonstritizing my hobbie to activly change it into something she sees fit i wouldn't care. but not only is she a liar and a thief. but she has a big hand in destroying what i know as gaming, a place of imagination where no outside fctors decide what i should be aloud to enjoy in my living room. who the fuck is she to tell me i cant play a fighting game filled with big breasted women? i dont see her attacking street fighter for a half naked sangeif. shes completely one sided.... honestly feminists i dont care wht you have to say. im venting. iv heard your rehashed arguments 10000 times and they don't matter. your fucking wrong get used to being wrong.

I saw her complaining about the new DOOM on Twitter. I bet she never played DOOM before and would love it if she tried it :3

I dunno, she's just a critic. I don't agree with all her ideas (or for that matter Amazing Athiest's either)

There's this growing movement among internet folk I've noticed. "Criticism is bad. Opinions that don't match mine are evil!!!" It's why you can't watch a top 10 vid anymore without a "just my opinion, don't flame me" warning. Which is redundant. Duh, we know it's your opinion. You don't have to cower at the thought of people yelling at you for having a thought. (Cuz they'll do it anyway)

I think Anita has some good points and some poor ones. But the amount of power that people give her (by viciously hating her and making her name known throughout the 7 kingdoms) is pretty ridiculous. Especially since the more you act like she is a big deal, the more of one she becomes.

This pretty much sums up how I feel. Also, I need to correct the error in your title. Based on the content of your post, it should say "Why Radical Feminism is poisoning the gaming industry".

Does it matter what she plays or doesn't play? She's entitled to an opinion, and that's what bothers me. I mean, I like her stuff but I still disagree with her here and there. It's not my right to take anything away from her and her analysis is interesting to me. Also.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Everyone are free to criticize.

Everyone are free to criticize.

And about GTA V, it was a petition but it was the store's call all along, they chose to not sell the game.

And speaking of Doom I am so tired of all this opinion policing, it's gone to the point where I wanna do like the Doom marine and curb stomp people with their own legs. Fuckin stahp, internet. STAHP.

To be fair, if you're going to criticize something, it's best if you actually know what you're arguing. Like I saw a tweet by her the other day about how they finally gave Lara Croft appropriate winter gear in the newest game when she's had that all along :/
And she's made other pretty inaccurate statements so it kind of makes me question her credibility.

And like I don't really care for Sarkeesian at all, but there are some pretty good criticisms of the gaming community that have been around for ages now that are pretty hard to ignore given the industry now.
so no longer can a developer have a story about a strong male role saving a female because for some reason this is misogynist.
no longer can be escape fro reality with attractive characters.
Being attractive isn't the problem, it's the fact that the vast majority of female characters are made to also be overly sexualized (while in some cases being the thing the main character is trying to save) in addition to being attractive. It's especially noticeable if you compare battle armor for both male and female characters.

Sure you have some pretty kickass women leads who really aren't but honestly speaking, try to name a few that aren't Lara Croft, Samus, Zelda, or Chel

if you dont like the violence - dont play it
if you dont like the way a character is- dont play it
if you dont like how the story plays out - dont play it right?
You really think that's the problem. It's not the games that are the main issue, it's the players and how they react to literally any criticism of the industry. Like I said, I don't like Sarkeesian but was it really appropriate to send her death and rape threats because of what she said? And it's not even her, literally any time someone criticizes the industry, people are so quick to defend it and do that.

Also given the fact that a good chunk of gamers identify as female, saying "hey if you don't like our games, just don't play them" is a good way to send the message that 1.we don't care about your feelings or concerns and 2.we don't want your business is a good way to alienate them and also loose money

apparently not true. as if all games should be in her image, as if all games should succumb to feminist ideals.
Oh noooo, how scary. Man get over yourself
like i said if it was just an opinion and she wasn't actively demonstritizing my hobbie to activly change it into something she sees fit i wouldn't care. but not only is she a liar and a thief. but she has a big hand in destroying what i know as gaming, a place of imagination where no outside fctors decide what i should be aloud to enjoy in my living room. who the fuck is she to tell me i cant play a fighting game filled with big breasted women? i dont see her attacking street fighter for a half naked sangeif.
Because male objectification really isn't as prominent of a thing as female objectification is and he's not really presented in a way that's supposed to be sexual as opposed to Cammy or Chun-Li. Also because, if I'm not mistaken, Zangief is a wrestler so...

shes completely one sided.... honestly feminists i dont care wht you have to say. im venting. iv heard your rehashed arguments 10000 times and they don't matter. your fucking wrong get used to being wrong.
Do you happen to own one of these, Shio?

Re: Why Feminism is poisoning the gaming industry and why anita sarkeesian needs to s

I think this shit becomes poisonous only if someone gives it too much weight. This talk is so pointless, I don't get why anyone would waste so much time on it, let alone give some rabid feminists' opinion so much importance. These bitches are crazy, just ignore their horseshit, you'll live better. This is all I have to say on the matter

Also, Zangief looks the way he does because it's what males think are cool and awesome...not ecause it's sexy for women. Zangief is a boner killer really. (That chest hair D: ) If Zangief's ass was more tight and his face more beautiful their argument would atleast have some grounds...but instead you get shit like this that is completely unironic. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fe6ddXKHgmo/TuWUPM7Q6vI/AAAAAAAAGO4/m4YeOemVW_Y/s400/5.jpg

'gaters and guys who complain feminism is poisonous (same diff, really) are like Teabaggers who see brown people cross the street and break out in kneejerk cries of "I want MY America back!"

"What, there's womenfolk who think it's suspect that all girls in games are character-free fap material and get routinely stuffed in the proverbial refrigerator to provide a motivation for the male PC? I want MY games back!!"

What makes them so crazy? I'm pretty sure gaming feminists haven't quite gone to leg spreading territory yet.

At least I hope not. I'll say this; men shouldn't have to wear cock-burqas.

That too

Also there's a lot of variability to men overall, especially in fighting games. I think out of the big ones though, the new Mortal Kombat isn't as sexualized. Then again I've only played it a few times.

As the gaming audience diversifies, so should games in order to appeal to a diverse audience. It
is not being an "SJW", it's smart marketing. You want people to buy and enjoy your product.

Talk to the ESRB and policy on "erect penises". Apparently, it is more offensive than showing tits and bush. :V

Indeed. Having the Iron Bull sexing guys too is totally Feminist pandering (and LGBT pandering).

I'm sure there's a joke to be made about how men in power are terrified of their own penis, but alas...I'm not clever enough to make it.
