because i have the capability of realizing that capitalism has nothing to do with the topic of the thread, and you can't?

k

It was an example of their nonsensical ideology. As were the other examples. They're  self admitted sexists and racists. Which makes any video they make commenting on those topics rather unpalatable.

Speaking of which, didn't Anita in an interview more or less say that Japanese people were degenerates after WWII and couldn't be held accountable for objectionable content in their games because they didn't know better?

EDIT: found it. It wasnt quite all that but is still fucking haram and she should be ashamed.

“The US bombed them back to traditional values – feminism does not exist in Japan. While I don’t like judging an entire culture…that does not excuse them.”

She said we "bombed them back to traditional values". Whatever that means. Most puritans hate the japs because they aren't as sexually repressed as we are.

I can understand wanting better female characters, or just more interesting characters in general, but this isn't the way to do that. These people more often than not just censor devs and give minority characters extra ever changing rule sets that straight white male characters do not have. Which of course leads to less minority characters because people like Anita can never be pleased or else they wouldn't continue to make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

what

fucking talking about it?
kid

Try reading the next sentence there maybe?
Just last week we saw two Twitter campaigns against devs to remove content. Worked on Lionshead.

it was ultimately lionshead's decision

what would they have done if they didn't listen

And let's not forget the #changethecover debacle

pretty sure it was well within their free speech right to do that
i don't see the problem

Continue to call them sexist, lie (as they are currently doing with obsidian), continue to take it to the mainstream media, and try to get people fired which was threatened to the lionshead pr manager and was attempted on EA staff a month or so back.

The same shit they've been pulling for a while.

well, i obviously don't condone any of that

this thread is about female representation in video games--not your opinion on anita or her crowd

oh, but this thread is about Anita as you've put her name in the title and linked to her video.

there's a bunch of letters in the title
i guess that means the topic is about the alphabet

No, the topic is female representation in video games. The speaker in the video just happens to be Anita Sarkeesian. Why the fuck wouldn't I put her name in the title?

Kudos then. Was kinda expecting you to defend the mob mentality. But you've done the equivalent of posting a vid of Glenn Beck giving his views on the Obama presidency, and then asked us our thoughts in Obama. Naturally there is some push back to the more crazy elements. Especially considering how censorious disagreement with Anita has been treated in the past.

Personally I see nothing wrong with the current state of gaming characters at this point in time. I think we could use some more diverse main characters but I'm not prepared to sacrifice interesting for safe. Likewise I have no issue with eye candy or fan service for either gender, and understand there will be more of that for males since there are more male gamers.

The industry is big enough to support games everyone likes. Don't feel like there's a need to say something I don't personally care for is wrong or problematic, and therefor shouldn't get made.

until i can play a fighting game around friends without feeling really awkward and embarrassed when i play as female characters because of the way they are portrayed, i will disagree

capitalism IS evil

but i'm not sure what that quite has to do with anything

okay now you're just trying too hard

*sips tea*

To get a bite. Like I won't even try a serious discussion with you anymore.

In order for verb to be a troll he'd have to have dedicated years to the same character and go around to different forums with the same act. At that point it'd stop being a good troll and just be a sad statement on his life.

I'm not sure whether it's to his credit or detriment, but he's almost always serious about his beliefs. Outside the capitalism thing he isn't being too over the top itt tho. We disagree but he's being more reasonable than usual.
