Canada's New PM opposes Misogyny in Gaming

Mordo · October 23, 2015, 05:22:28 AM

'Misogny' is such a loose fucking term anyway. It's not like there are devs out there fervently trying to create a game for the sole purpose of misogyny. If degradation of women is actually in the game then it's more than likely for commentary purposes. Either that or it's Ride To Hell.

Didn't give a shit when it was relevant. Still don't.

It originally said "Opposes Gamergate" instead of misogyny, if that helps

Gamergate was apparently outdated tho so whatever

Will remake thread once I'm more knowledgable on the subject.

Wow, really putting himself out there by opposing misogyny. I bet he doesn't even beat his slaves, either.

In a climate where most people are unwilling to admit that misogyny is rife in the gaming industry? Sure.

Please give examples where women are somehow excluded from playing or making games.

Let me rephrase that. Give examples of misogyny in the gaming industry.

So I forgot to actually lock it and Elsie pointed out that we shouldn't just rubber stamp lock requests, if people are just disagreeing then that's not really lockable >_>

How does the presence of tits and scantily clad women in games equal misogyny?

Because they're being treated as sexual objects for the purpose of pleasing male eyes. They're taking advantage of male sexuality, exploiting female sexuality, to make money.

That's bad.

Quote from: SoporificSlash on October 23, 2015, 12:55:59 PM

Anyhow why does it matter? Freedoms of speech exists. If someone wants to make a game about lynching niggers, gassing likes, and raping women they have that right.

just like i have a right to say that the developers who'd make such a game are pieces of inhuman shit, and no one can stop me

So you're not proposing there be a ban on said content?

some puritan-tier understanding of sexuality ITT

Mr. Psychologist · October 23, 2015, 01:01:13 PM

I've removed the last embedded video from the list on both of the posts because it was straight up nudity as opposed to lewdity.

No bannus, just a removal of the specific link >_>

It's misogynistic. Instead of creating characters that don't need to be sexy in order to be appealing, they exploit sex because that's the only way they know how to make money. It's disgusting, insulting, and everybody should hate it.

Sex is disgusting. I fucking loathe this "pro-sex" culture we're trying to develop nowadays.

It's a surefire way to make money. Not everyone hates sexuality as much as you do Verbatim. Also, how is it misogynistic? You haven't given any good example of how it is.

Except I have. Demeaning women, objectifying them, is misogynistic. By definition. You're basically saying, "This isn't a person with thoughts, feelings, opinions, beliefs, and emotions of varying complexity--this is just something for me to whack my dick off to."

Pure misogyny.

And fuck money. Fuck people who want money, and fuck people who are willing to make money in unscrupulous ways.
