game's cancelled everyone go home

ahahah okay

MY BODY IS READY aaa

tell me more about how someone being responsible for a thing and to blame for a thing are different concepts

did they nerf tristana yet

this thread is a lot funnier if you assume GG stands for Game Grumps

the gamergate nerds are a bunch of losers who got bullied 'cause they liked video games instead of sports or whatever and now that they have the opportunity to be bullies they're snatching it up like there's no tomorrow

this is true, though

Not to be contentious, but didn't you previously disagree with djP when he'd suggested that it was the responsibility of those who wanted change to enact it in the context of video game developers and feminism (i.e if you want video games to treat women better, consider becoming a game developer)? I may be remembering wrong, here.

it's probably a little extreme to compare Anita Sarkeesian to Malcolm X

I think that the one or two people who've had eye opening experiences because of the videos are worth it, but yeah, the large majority of the people nodding their heads are people who already thought that way in their huge masturbatory echo chamber, and the people disagreeing are uh apparently gonna shoot a whole bunch of people? Whole lotta trouble over basically nothing at all.

I think the most reasonable stance is that Anita making people think about these things is a good thing, but also, her videos kind of suck

well I hate zircon, he's a poopy buttlord kidding

like I said, people probably couldn't tell you what constitutes a sexualized man

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Redg is literally Reggie Fils-Aime.

probably because it's not actually nearly as prevalent on TV

In my opinion, the problem isn't the presence of sexualized content so much as it's that only female characters are often sexualized - the focus is so one sided that many people probably couldn't even tell you how to sexualize a male character. Sexuality isn't the issue, here - it's sexism.
