Damsel in Distress: The Discussion (Kickstarter Feminist plays video games)

No one is calling you a troll because your opinion is different (although it IS a stupid opinion), stop playing the victim card you pussy. People are calling you a troll because of your incoherent, rage induced, lunatic rants.

I find it funny you claim you’re a writer and that gives you some kind of authority on criticising the plots of games that made multiple millions of dollars. So quick question, who’s your publisher and what are the projected sales of your novel?

How much money a game makes has nothing to do with its actual plot. SF and MVC sell quite well but they have no focus on plot at all. COD games sell a ton and their “plots” are nothing but nationalistic and jingoistic “AMERICA FUCK YEAH” pablum.

Whether or not I’m actually published has nothing to do with my critique being valid. “Let’s See You Do Better” is a logical fallacy.

If you must know, I have no publisher, because I don’t even have a finished manuscript yet. I started this novel one month ago and I still have to contend with school and family on a daily basis.


Read. Stop using this tactic.

Especially due to you Bhjaddhos, because of you the chemo will be of no use.

I say go with it, better prevent than cure

Here’s the thing though, if you wanna speak out against female degradation in video games you get support from women’s civil right’s movements not clock $150 Gs from contributions. She just used a well know issue as a platform to pay off her student loans and catch up wit her rent. This is low-level politics. The corniest scam since KONY 2012.

I think Anita herself is damaging women, and mankind in general, by being a resentful, shallow, big mouthed woman with no proper knowledge in videogames, psychology, philosophy etc. that is needed to tackle big issues. Also her arguments are simple minded, emotional and demagogic. Every minute spent on taking this shit seriously is a minute wasted in vain.

The only good thing she has done so far is exposing how much of the internet is as blatantly stupid and child-like as she is. There are no “sides” to this, just extremely dumb verbal exchanges all around.

So yeah, jokes are all we can, and should spare.

The sad thing is that all the arguments in the world don’t matter cause anita will never engage them. She gives public lectures with a army of officers around and won’t answer a question unless its scripted. I think she is perfectly aware of her stupidity, hence why she will never bother to argue with anyone cause of how easily exploitable her theories are.

Hi. I used to be a troll, but i changed my ways. This gives me authority to tell you that “Bhjafogeusktudm” is indeed a troll. I know this from my many years of helping butthurt facebook parents take writers of bad comments to the internet police. My expertise in spotting stupid people is legend. My punishment of bad grammar is renowned. Though there are no records of this because i have no employer for such activities or some shit like that. But i can still play that card though

Oh man, this shit is the best. Although I wish you niggas would stop reporting him for spam, or abuse or w/e so I don’t have to click his posts to read them.

I just want to ask…

if video games are targeted at males
and male gamers are losers who cant get girls

why does it matter what they view women as?

I was going to post something along the lines of how I am cool with people making games which appeal to femminists although I probably wouldn’t put money behind them unless they were genuinely great games and how my real issue with this bullshit is the attacks on existing games and the demands that developers stop catering to their fans because of all this shit that’s apparently “wrong” with their games but sod it, I’ll say this instead;

Bhjaddos, may you look back on this thread in a decade or so and wish you could go back in time and punch your younger self.

We all have memories from our times at school which make us want to do that, but your generation has the blessing of leaving evidence of it on the internet for the entire world to see, enjoy.

No one has ever actually said this.

What people have ACTUALLY said was that it’s tiring to see pandering in the middle of games that don’t need it, for literally no other reason than “yeah, throw it in”.

A good example would be the trend for fanservicy outfits in FGs as of late (especially anime fighters), such as Makoto in Blazblue. There’s no reason to have such a pandering outfit in the middle of an otherwise good game. I can deal because I like Makoto as a character but it’s dissappointing.

I don’t give a shit about games MEANT for pandering, but to see it in the middle of an otherwise good game is disheartening.

Because not all male gamers are like that? I really wish this stereotype of the average gamer being some overweight basement dweller would go away.

This is one of the biggest lies perpetrated about Anita.

Anita never “scammed” anyone. She made a kickstarter for her tropes videos. The sheer THOUGHT of these videos existing made the closet MRAs and misogynists in the gamer community collectively flip the fuck out, and she started getting death threats and rape threats. People sympathetic to her cause then intentionally donated tons of money, far more than she originally asked for, to support her.

She never scammed anyone. That lie was created in order to marginalize and handwave away the support she got. It’s nothing more than bald-faced post facto “reasoning” made up by internet misogynists to slander her since they couldn’t comprehend that they “lost”.

Women should always be raped…there can we close this thread now?

then why do they always say that shit?

girl: you just mad cause you’re a nerd and can never get a REAL GIRL like me

:rofl:

Everytime I see a man with his shirt off or in just speedos in a game it disheartens me as well. Especially if there is a female nearby and the scream or hit them.

am i the only one who isn’t getting the MRA acronym?

Men’s rights advocate, which (to them) is a bad thing because men have an imaginary ivory tower that we use to snipe hardworking women from.

I am a feminist and I think that what she’s done is a scam by definition–convincing people to give her money to rip off something that countless others have already willingly provided a much better version of for free.

This issue also has nothing to do with winning or losing. When it comes to the fair treatment of human beings, you can have either a contest or a conversation, but not both.

Also, are you Jewish? I’m only asking because I think a half-black feminist bisexual Jewish man would be the funniest thing ever.

got damn! AP with that consistent dedication, he is going ham in this thread.

lol at men’s rights activist, is there a manism movement going on that i don’t know about? i wonder if my lib card gets clipped for joining it if it exists…
