I think you guys are trying to be ‘hard’ and ‘edgy’ again, but you’re really not pulling it off.
Feminism isn’t bad per se. The problem is with the people who claim to be feminists not even understanding the initial idea.
The anime’s actually pretty awful imo, though I feel reading the SEX NOVEL its based off is somewhat contradictory to the topic, even if no one reads F/SN for the sex scenes filled with terrible fish and cooking metaphors (seriously, vaginas are nothing like mollusks). Fate/Zero’s great, though.
EDIT: I also think Saber being a girl is a stupid handwave and they should’ve kept the original version of Saber being a guy and Shirou being a girl.
there’s nothing edgy about me, as a MALE, enjoying the perks of being a MALE.
Well, the fucking meaning of the word minority is less than 50%, so yes it is.
Fun facts: When your little sister plays Farmville she is counted as a girl gamer as far as statistics are concerned.
I’m just going to let the irony of this statement:
“the problem is, is that the females that do bitch, are the loud obnoxious ones that expect to be coddled. Until experience says other wise, no one is going to want to hear what they say because they aren’t doing anything to fix the problem.”
Speak for itself. It’s kind of a beautiful thing. Anyway, I’m genuinely glad I was linked to this thread, as it’s been interesting.
I also quite like, “Feminism is just bitches being angry that after finally being put on a level playing field they still haven’t contributed anything constructive, how about instead of bitching about video games ‘that promote sexism’ being made by man you get a fucking education that is open to you and make your own games.”
The woman in those videos, though arguably self-righteous, doesn’t seem angry in any way. But no worries, I’m sure that her future videos will be* way* less productive than someone whining about the fact that she’s making them. That there’s the good fight. Honestly, the only true bitching and crying I’ve seen today on the subject is from men. Seriously, crazed, holier-than-thou groups like OneMillionMoms can’t even hold a candle some of you guys. It’s sort of impressive. Sort of.
English Major at work here folks.
Another fun fact: The gender of players in the mobile/social field is almost equal (47%/53% according to Flurry), so your fun fact actually has little impact on those other fun facts we call “analytics”.
Seriously kids, you may wish that market analysis is completely wrong and that your simplistic pet theories effectively disproved the direction the market is heading, but wishes don’t pay my mortgage. If given a choice between trusting a firm with no ulterior motive (other than to help me make money) that has helped other companies make hundreds of millions over the last 5 years and trusting a threatened 17 year old boy on the internet, I think I’m going to go with the firm.
It’s cool that you’re trying, though.
English major makes more money than food stamps major.
And yet they share the same tax bracket.
Lol, I’ll tell our accountant, because last year was brutal.
One of the things that I think people miss is that women will NEVER play fighting games in mass numbers Mark my words it will NEVER happen. Why? Because the concept of two people beating the shit out of each other will NEVER appeal to a large portion of the female demographic. It just doesn’t, and it won’t ever. So some chick’s opinion on Mai’s clothing really doesn’t matter unless she’s showing up to tournaments and/or supporting the FGC in some way. And even then, she’s a minority opinion. This is something that doesn’t really matter in the long run.
This chick is getting $150K for THIS when there are so many more worthy causes out there? SMH…
Was it now?
Sounds like you have a tough life all around with having to mingle with all of the lesser and uneducated folks on this here video game website. Good thing you can find a nice tax deductible way to make yourself feel better like Kickstarter. How much did you donate btw? Did your significant other actually let you achieve orgasm as a reward for being so selfless?
She’s getting $150k for the project because of the absurdly hateful, hostile reaction gamers had to her idea for a series and the lengths they took to go after her.
And throwing money at her was supposed to accomplish what again?
Well no one said gamers were a smart lot by and large. But still, with ALL the MUCH more WORTHY causes out there, THIS is what she dedicates her time to? Lazy.
So is the money gonna stop people from having hostile reactions? I don’t see how it’s changing anything. Besides the fact that she won’t have do actual work and contribute to society for a good while.
It’s pretty much a natural reaction though, you wanna support somebody that they’re trying to bully. People do statements of support like that all the time.
(disclaimer: I didn’t give them any money)
I would never watch a all female tournament in a fighting game. NEVER.
Tbh i can’t even take when women do commentary.
