The title isn't a lie. It's fine, because that's what it is.

Yeah it's a lie, thanks for agreeing

No, have at it, if you want to. If you have to go on a rant to make a point, go ahead. I actually kinda like it, because it means that this discussion can actually go somewhere, I think. You're clearly impassioned about the subject, and you have a lot to say about it, so say all you need to.
<3

Didn't quote your other stuff because there isn't much to argue about it I would say. You bring up a good point in that the writers probably don't know how, but idk. I feel like when they focus on it too much, they try to make their sexuality the defining point about them, which is going against the entire reasoning to include them I think.

Then again, for some reason in today's polarizing society, people are saying that you shouldn't have to label anything, but at the same time, the very same people saying this are the ones who are trying to hard to put a sticker on every sexual meaning they feel within them, or those around them.

It's freaking weird, and I am so jaded on that issue. Only reason I bring up Tumblr is, because while I try to avoid that stuff with every fiber of my being, I have some friends who just happen to bring it into my life. Whether they mean to or not.

Not everyone cares if a game is fun to play, believe it or not.
Yeah, if they're not actually the gamers playing it. Something tells me Anita is one of those who just goes into it from a social standpoint and that's it. She's ignoring the entire other 3/4th's half of the pie.

If a game had amazing gameplay but didn't match up to her mindset of "social justice" then odds are she'd bash it. When reviewing things, you need to hold it to the standard you would other games (Looking at you TPP reviewers.... 10/10 my butt) and the medium/genre it is in.

Notice the period, and then me saying that the title is fine, because a review is what it is

I too can pick out a single line of a post and disregard the rest to try and save face, but I don't, because I'm not stupid.

I'm not the one who thought Anita Sarkeesian, a widely known "feminist", did full game reviews on a channel called FeministFrequency.

Where did I say I expect this particular person to do that? I'm saying when someone titles their video "Assassin's Creed Syndicate Review" it should be an actual full review of the game, or they are doing it wrong and should title the video properly.

I'd also like to add that as I was typing that rant, I was in the middle of the video. Or at least the few posts before it.

Despite the feminist stuff annoying me, I have to say that she did offer some insight on the actual gameplay and flaws that still plague the series. Color me surprised she actually cast that in a positive light and made me see that the relationship between brother and sister seemed a little shallow, which is a shame.

Still, the game looks interesting to say the least. Can't wait to Black Flag it.

She did review AC Syndicate.

The word review =/= fully go into detail about everything ever in whatever is being reviewed

I could make a thread right now titled 'Witcher 3 Review" and only discuss the side quests, and there'd literally be nothing wrong with the title.

He does have a point. You're both right honestly, you're just splitting hairs on it.

I'm surprised she got a review copy of the game.

Think about it. It's Ubisoft. Think of their pandering. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she was one of the main people they were seeking approval from. They probably handed it to her on a silver platter.

If you think 3rd wave feminism holds any merit in the current world, you're sadly and ignorantly mistaken.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Remember when reviews were supposed to be a non partisan objective analysis of a game that wasn't a patently obvious propaganda piece?

This is your best meme yet.

The "it doesn't coalesce with my beliefs, so it's obvious propaganda" meme.

Reviews have, are, and always will be subjective. There is no objective, unbiased way to review a game.
Or any form of entertainment media.

Objective was a poor choice of words.

Not politicising and injecting an agenda would've been a more apt description.
