Re: Why Feminism is poisoning the gaming industry and why anita sarkeesian needs to s
A)I wasn't talking to you. B) Whenever you post stuff like this, Iimmediately know that this is a fun game for you, or that you won'ttake this discussion with sincerity and an open mind. You immediatelywalk in with this BS attitude that many dissenters of Feminism have,which is the equivalent of childishly plugging your ears and humming.Nearly all of your responses don't even touch upon many valid pointsI made, and your touting of "I'll provide sources if you want meto" lead me to believe you couldn't find nonbiased, reputableones, or too lazy to do so. But by all means, find your sources. Youreally should have done that from the start if you wanted to be takenseriously instead of another chump who wants to play 'lets chop thefeminist' or whatever. Like, you could have entered this with justthe below quote. The addition of the above picture automaticallyleaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I'll still continue withimpressive patience because why the hell not? Its 5:30 am and I havenothing to do 'till the moving truck gets here.
This is an open discussion,if it was directed just to Shio then a private message is in order.Also, you can't just call a point valid because you want to. Some ofthem weren't relevant to what we were discussing, while others weremoot because it's agreed. I'd like you to specify what you mean.
Theuse of red text wasn't to mimic Shiobears responses, but to giveresponses to common reactions to various arguments for feminism. Thiswas a completely one-sided post, and I used Angry-Red-Text as aliterary proponent to both promote interest and add narrative to whatis ultimately a boring post. Angry-Red-Text is meant to be a succinctcharacter that plays along with my speech, though Angry-Red-Text hassaid many things that have rehashed this argument many times.
At best it's an improper segway to connect your points, and at worst it's assuming and putting words into one's mouth.
Mygood sir, you literally managed to completely miss a 3,337 wordpost's entire point. I am impressed. Literally no where does it saythat feminism
rightnowisfor equal rights. Feminism right now is forequalstanding.Wegot that over the course of the last few decades beginning with thesuffragettes. Second wave and third wave feminism was literally allabout cultural perception and attitude. We have rights.. sort of insome states. Abortion is still legal, but texas doesn't have enoughoperating planned parenthoods/abortion providers to really provide toanyone. 20 week bans put women in danger. So the right that men havethat women don't have right now is the right to a safe, reliable,option for an abortion near us without any politicians getting in theway of that. That is a huge concrete thing you guys don't need toworry about because.. you're literally guys. This isn't an issue thatconcerns you. You literally don't care. Roe VS Wade didn't fix a damnthing.
Letme put it to you this way: Blacks and Whites got the right to marryfor a long time, right? But then why is it just right now that it isacceptable? You see, its just recently that it has become sociallyacceptabletomarry interracially. Again, I'm underlining things and speaking inmore succinct points because you can't refute more than a handful ofideas with baseless and sourceless claims.
Feminismby definition is rights and oppurtunities for women. What you'redescribing approaches the territory for egalitarianism. Personally,I'm pro-choice and believe you are responsible for you, and the stateor any other entity cannot tell you what you can or cannot do withyour body. Pro-lifers largely come froma religious background so youknow who your political opponents are. This does concern me, butstating that I don't care because I'm a man does not rest well withme. I'm sure I can make sweeping accusations that you don't careabout men's issue 'X', 'Y' or 'Zed' as well but it only serves tohurt your argument.
Though there are
reasons that people respond to hotly to race. I think your enemy is more religion than it is this idea of patriarchy you possess.
Iliterally said "I am sticking predominantly in western society,especially because I am uneducated in eastern feminisism and I trynot to talk about things I don't know about." So of course Ididn't talk about Shariah law. I am uneducated to any deep thoughtabout Shariah law except for what I see in media around me. I was,however, a christian and went to sunday school, so naturally I spokeabout something I knew about.
Ireally want to see sources of women who have actually pushed forridiculous extra rights. You'll notice all of these women got shutdown. Like it or not, folks can tell when someone is blowing hot airor has a legitimate reason to act or say the things they do. Payingattention to feminists who want men to die is like paying attentionto the Ku Klux Klan begging for the separation of races. Again, it isan extremist response and again, the extremist response gets the mostattention. The woman who want extra rights did not get them, andinstead are angry within their circles. They are not seriousproponents within the feminist movement.
In my experience, I can safely say that Asian/African feminists have it worse than American feminists.
Oneo f them actually vocal about it. I'm sure there are more examples I can dig up, but I find it morbidly humorous that Feminism wants to attack Christianity but not Islam.
As for the other ones:

The KKK have negligablepolitical power, and the SJW variety has quite a bit. That's a really unfair comparison.
Idon't care about having equal rights. I have those. I care aboutsocial and political and cultural attitudes towards women, like Isaid in the above mentioned three thousand word post. This hasliterally nothing to do with rights here- its all about how we'retreated. As far as being angry- we have been docile for a very longtime. Much like the black power movement's resurgence as of late,oppressed groups have become angry that peace and calm discussion hasachieved.. nothing! Now something needs to be done and we cannot waitfor another few decades for this kind of idea to die. Many activistsare confronting the idea head on.
"Idon't care about equal rights"
I should stop here, but I'll keep going.
I'm tired of cultural,social and political attitudes towards men as well. Why should I have to go to some foreign land and blast some poor kid in his skull dome because his leaders are in conflict with mine? Why do I have to pay the bill at a restaurant? I find them tiresome as well. You have equal rights (with some cushy bonuses) so you should be happy.
Asfar as the REd PILL goes, if you bothered to look at what the bluepill is posting about, the front page is full of direct threads in the red-pill saying ridiculous things. If the red pill was asinnocuous as you are insinuating, they wouldn't be almost universallylooked down upon as a bunch of pouty MRAs they didn't get sex as areward. But if you REALLY want to see where the TRP condoned orlaughed at rape?
I'll admit I haven't been to the Blue Pill, but from what I've seen from the Red Pill, I really haven't seen anything like that to warrant branding them in that light; every movement and group has their crazies.
Falseequivalence. When you say 'it's just design', why is it everywhere?The difference between manly, ripped men and scantily clad women arevery different. The muscle-men who get all the women are called MalePower Fantasies, and of course, bimbo women are Sex Fantasies. Thereare two completely different things. The objectification of men andwomen are drastically different. You don't get mad, sure. But don'taccuse me of 'projection' when I've cited over 10 sources relating tothe different culture of things. Like, why the hell did you botherreplying when you were just going to deny literally everything Isaid? You literally will not give it any thought that there is somuch variation for men and almost none for women?
Implying women don't have power or sex fantasies. The two main characters from'Supernatural' have a gigantic female fan following. The newer doctors from Dr. Who? Hell, look at Fifty Shades of Gray. These appeal to different audiences. I don't get upset when I see a cologne or anti-perspirant advertisement featuring a handsome, clear-skinned and muscular lad. I just accept I'll never be as great looking as him and I move on – I don't really understand the controversy tosexualized women, and honestly I'll doubt the bimbos are mainstream and I'm speaking as someone who has invested an unhealthy amount ofmy life into vidya games. Wow, a character has desirable proportions or revealing clothing. Great. Wait, they're a woman? Sound the alarm!There's misogyny afoot.
