You’ll notice that I never actually SAID anything about Anita.
Because I don’t think she’s very good at doing what she wants to do. I agree with her message, but I never actually said anything about her.
That’s not what Anita or anyone else said.
What they did say is that there is a dearth of female main characters in games. This is true. There is no “big secret misogynist hate circle”. No sane feminist actually believes that something like exists.
What they ARE talking about, however, is how both companies and gamers don’t seem to WANT girls to be main characters? Why? Because many male gamers don’t want to play as women? Why? Because many male gamers hold sexist beliefs and don’t want to be seen as “un-manly”.
And the way to include a girl into a game without getting backlash is to simply write her in a good way. This is not that hard, but so many writers fuck it up so badly!
This is sexism, first of all, as it compares women to children, thus infantalizing them.
Second, this is an example of males being disfavored in one situation. No feminist denies that such situations exist. Most of the SANE ones (not the crazy ones you love act like are representative of the majority) are opposing those kinds of things too. They’re fighting for your rights and theirs AND YOU STILL HATE THEM.
Third, one specific example does not invalidate my statement.
Telling people that they shouldn’t make practically every chick in their game either a whore, a bitch, or a completely agency-less sex doll is not “censorship”. It’s criticism. If someone makes a racist work, people are free to criticize it. Just as people are free to criticize a sexist work. DO you really like that shit? Fuck?
Sexist writing is bad writing. That’s just a fact. I am an amateur writer, and I know this because I’m trying to get a novel done.
I have. I do not like what I have seen. I fight it myself.
I am Agni.
I have strong convictions and I’m as left-wing as they come. You just don’t notice it often because Dustloop is focused completely on fighting games with no sort of general non-FG discussion.
But remember video games add to a systematic belief that violence against women is normal cause domestic abuse is completely 100% directional and only affects women…I about lost my shit when she made the domestic violence argument in he
I understand. It’s very difficult to comprehend people who are morally superior to you.
In any case, yes. I don’t know why you somehow have so much trouble wrapping your head around the fact that I’m currently writing a novel. Oh wait, I know: You don’t have an argument so your only option is to derail the thread and throw ad hominems everywhere. I’ve been on the internet long enough to know all the major derailing tactics.
You have to understand how she goes about describing the situations in the video. There is no gray area as it’s either pure evil, or has some good in it. In the end, by watching the video, you have already lost!
Bitches getting their clits sliced off in Islamic countries and this Anita tard is worried about sexist legos. What is it about feminism that they must completely ignore all the real problems women face and instead worry about asinine shit like a video game character showing too much cleavage (as if cleavage is somehow inherently evil).
Look, I’d like to relax. But this is a rather personal thing for me and I’m volatile around it.
I’m just sick of how so many people look to people like Anita and slander ALL of egalitarianism, completely ignoring how so many others are not like that. Fuck. It’s like watching people use some stupid scrubs as representatives of everyone in the FGC.
