Just a reminder that idiots are trying to justify their ideas in gaming and gaming journalism along with not making a valid point on why they should or wanting to talk about said ideas.
Yup because repressing artisric expression to the benefit of ideologues is clearly a good idea. If theres ever a case of a fundamentalist religion wanting to ban a movie or show because there is a gay person in it, Iāll be sure to give them your number since itās clear policing others behaviour is more importan then giving people the freedom to choice and do things for themselves.
Edit: Hey look perthoās been around for awhile I didnāt know you were in TV.
The whole idea of social justice encroaching on entertainment media is something that a lot of people in the Gamergate movement are interested in, but I feel it should be a separate movement regardless of the crossover.
Gamergate has already proven hard enough when we just focus on the ethics part of it. I mean, weāre dealing with people who have spent at least the past four years spinning narratives. All the SJW bullshit is only playing into their hands. They want the focus off of the journalists.
Raz0rās argument is based on the bullshit principle of āimpactā. It does more damage to females to be portrayed like they are, than it is for men to be pictured a specific way. Itās fucking dumb, especially since āmediaā towards women objectifies men on the same level as āmaleā oriented media objectifies women. And given historical context, this does no damage to women. It further consolidates their social privileges given to them by having a vagina alone.
Zoe Quinn, an unattractive female (feminists complain that only pretty women benefit from such an exchange), has gained significance stature, status, and benefits from the fact that she has a vagina even though she isnāt attractive compared to the females people think off, who do those āexchangesā.
@Raz0r, would you like to see a significant change in the way women are portrayed in fashion or ābeautyā magazines? Equally important, should men stopped being grotesquely mutilated for the sake of entertainment, as if they arenāt worth shit?
You cannot argue that the implications of this against women is somehow greater than that of men, especially since itās been established that fantasy mediums donāt have a real meaningful or measurable impact in how people perceive reality.
An even more fundamental question for you since you are interested in ānewā portrayals of women in video games and comics.
Should violence thatās exclusive to men, also be done to females in a fantasy medium? Should women be tortured, killed en mass, psychologically broken, etc? Or is that expression be inclusive of men only?
IF you say no, then that says all that needās to be said about how others should take your opinion on the subject. Is this really about gender equivalency, or advancement of an agenda.
You know what I just remembered, in my logic class I vaguely remember (or it could be a simple mathematics logic)
If your argument holds, but fails against a hyperbole, then itās flawed fucking logic and not a good platform unto, which you build a legitimate argument off. So, yeah, I just wanted to bring this up.
Are you guys seriously still trying to engage Raz0r? I figured out that that was a foolās errand about 50 threads back where he kept playing Devilās Advocate in debates without even reading a single argument or even the basic facts of the thread because ābeing noncomformist is kewl.ā
This is actually a very important point that feminist/SJW very rarely address. The fact that the majority of those beaten and brutally killed are men is barely a point worth bringing up to these people. Even in Anitaās game concept all the enemies and villians were men. The disprptionate degrees to which violence is inflicted on men in comparison to women isnāt event close to being equal yet at no point in time during these discussions about"better representation for women"do I ever see feminist complain that there isnāt enough female goons to disposably slaughter.
When this traitor came out a torrent of articles about sexism and violence against women were published condemning the game.
This trailer has men literally being murdered in the dozens and i donāt recall any article published talking about the overly misandric tones or sexist portrayal against men.
