Sooo....Ubisoft exploiting her to make their games appeal to SJWs is Anita actively running racketeering op?

See, I just thought that was called marketing.

For those playing at home, this is what ronito said:

Quote
but dude, you make it sound like she bursts into a game studio and says, "that's a nice female character you have there. It'd be a shame if people thought it was sexist."

Which I pointed out a strawman twice, so ronito tried to adjust what he said to

Quote
You said that Anita was running a racketeering op. I said that seems unlikely.

These are very different things.

Even then, the pie in face.  :trumps

Anita is one of those people who you can immediately tell is addicted to and thrives off of personal drama. We've all known people like her since they're about a dime a dozen. Just most people mature mentally enough, and it stops being a thing by the time you're 30 at the very latest.

the notion that bringing attention to representation or the lack of it in a medium is considered exploitation or... running a racket... speaks volumes about how you view women.

$1,500? There's nothing impressive about that.

I dunno, I think most of the local crazy people wandering my local beaches wish that someone would give them that kind of money for their unmedicated ramblings.

That's sad, because a lot of her critics are :confused -level of understanding. Like, I get what she's trying to get at, but her criticism is making mountains out of molehills over minor things.

The sooner the industry stops feeding her, the better IMO. There are better steps of being inclusive than trying to listen to her.

Then a lot of the industry needs a good hard boot to the ass in regards to seeing her videos. Like, EA and other companies do "He for She" and Gay pride inclusion stuff now a days and that's all well and good. So... why do they have to listen to someone that makes flimsy arguments? Double so if they aren't actually listening to her very minor nitpicks that don't really do shit?

Nobody in the game industry should care about Gamergate at this point (or in the past two or so years). It's been dead in the collective consciousness.

I'll read that Polygon article when I get a free chance (trip coming up, so busy with shit right now), but I highly doubt it'll change my view on her as "someone that makes mountains out of molehills to make money."

Too be honest though for every 1 person I see retweeting her, I could talk to 10 who don't know who she is and don't know anything about GamerGate.

Quote from: Polygon
Since she began her work, video games have seen a rise in the number of positive women and minority protagonists and a decrease in the tropes she discusses, such as weak, sexually attractive "damsels in distress." Feminist Frequency has demonstrably made a difference.

 ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) :wank :wank :wank :wank :wank Sure, since she brought attention to it, some things in the industry have changed a little to be a bit more "positive" (less stereotypical gays, for example) but let's not say she's made a huge difference, especially as she isn't a paid consultant for a lot of things she later criticizes for "not doing enough!" to meet whatever invisible checklist of criteria that somehow "triggers" (ugh) her to do that.

Quote
She hopes that VidCon and other events will become more aware of organized trolling. "When push comes to shove, conventions like VidCon should stand up and support women and other marginalized folks who are harassed. Why should I have to go out there in this toxic environment? Why aren’t these men punished for creating that environment? After all, this is a conference about online video culture attended primarily by YouTubers, and it’s no secret that YouTube has an incredibly toxic culture.

:neogaf Oh, honey. Nobody pays attention to them beyond you. Sure, he got 400,000 views on that latest video: How many of them are unique? More so: While the harassment is shitty and you shouldn't need to deal with that: How much impact are they getting on the industry? Zero.

Quote
One man stood up and asked Sarkeesian if she "truly believes" in the work she does. The question was declined. Sarkeesian is often portrayed by reactionary critics as a cynical manipulator of public opinion for financial gain.

🤔 Well, I mean when you take the above quote... 🤔

If you remove the misrepresentation of games and the cherry picking and all the dishonest shit Anita does, you have some vague points about women in games...

..that were all made in 1998 in the book From Barbie to Mortal Kombat

which was like two decades ago

and most of those complaints were fixed by digital distribution resulting in more people being able to publish games leading to a diverse selection of games and characters

The funny thing about the pathological hatred for Sarkeesian is that she doesn't even come off as a stereotypical firebreathing feminist. She's a pretty boring, bland video game critic. She makes overly simplified arguments, and gets a lot of stuff wrong, but I don't see how someone like that has become public enemy number one for GG'ers.

On top of that, she probably wouldn't be speaking at ubisoft or have any sort of influence today if gamers didn't make a big stink about her kickstarter announcement. They kind of played themselves there. All they generally accomplished was driving a dozen or so women out of the industry and making Sarkeesian a bigger presence than she ever would have been if they just ignored her videos in the first place.

It's because she attacked the precious vidya and that cannot be tolerated.   

But while all these people trying to take her down or harass her or whatever are all being stupid and childish, there are some things that have come from all the "detective work" done on her, mainly that she's completely full of shit and made all those "Tropes Vs. Women In Gaming" videos to get herself noticed and further her career (which I guess was just as obvious as the crap she was presenting).  People finding videos of her saying that she's not a fan of video games and never plays them, put out before she started making the Tropes series and said the opposite, were pure gold.  Plus there's the matter of her doing a Kickstarter and using all that money to supposedly buy games for review, when all she did was steal other peoples' footage instead.  But you know what?  It's Kickstarter.  People didn't have to give her money and they did.  And she gave them content.  So I guess she delivered...?

It's all just really, really dumb.  Do we really need an hour-long "reaction" video from random Youtuber to address her 15 minute Tropes topic?  It would be fine if it was just someone putting up a response that pointed out what was incorrect in a civil manner, but instead it's some dude pausing her video every 30 seconds and going "NO U DUMB CUNT UR WRONG BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" over and over again.

Stefan Molyneux (a YouTube "right wing philosopher")
More importantly a Canadian, so anything he says is immediately suspect.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
also he refuses to shit or get off the pot about whether the state is legitimate or not, typical libertarian obsessed with getting upset over women/feminists/"mens rights" over everyday important issues like the legitimacy of state violence
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Quote
In 2012, libertarian philosopher David Gordon gave a critical examination of Molyneux's 2007 Universally Preferable Behaviour: A Rational Proof for Secular Ethics in The Mises Review, stating, "He fails, and fails miserably. His arguments are often preposterously bad."

Gordon would reply again to Molyneux's own response to the criticisms. Molyneux subsequently deleted posts related to this criticism of UPB.

Hrrmm. A little too close to the purple for my liking.   :doge
don't worry hon, i'm not in the purple because i'm on the edge/corner of the chart :smug

also i still hate the political compass and use it as an example of bad survey creation for example questions like these you can agree with entirely or find as "fundamentally true" but disagree completely with what you know the test is going to score it as like:
Quote
A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
Quote
Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity.

also odd ones that don't fit their own definitions of the two axis (and they somehow have values for Trump/Hillary/etc. for these?)
Quote
When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things.

Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all.

edit:
ha, i just went through the test marking "strongly disagree" for every answer so i could get to those questions to copy/paste, here's what it spits out:

So, no.

I remember my first time playing assassin's creed and finding that I was way more excited about building up my town than anything else in the game and thought, "I'm playing a game where I'm an assassin and the most exciting thing is that I get to customize a town."

I put the controller down and haven't touched it since.

Any sort of link Anita has or had with any sort of gaming developer begins and ends with good PR move, nothing more.

Corporations in general focus test everything and seem crazy about making sure they appeal to every possible demographic. All SJW shit did was make em go "Ok here's a black one, here's a gay one, and here's a woman" in the 80's cartoon way over any actual drive to write compelling characters of a misrepresented group, and that's completely fine, I've never gotten why a black character needs to be "justifiably" black, for lack of a better word. It is representation, and I'm not sure why this minor form of it makes people flip their shit. Or why it's somehow Anita when there has been a good number of people asking for this for years.

It's not racketeering, it's supplying a demand.
i liked this post so much i am quoting it for a SIGNAL BOOST

it's not just gaming you can see it all over media especially and it's kinda funny because they must have research that shows enough of the vocal audience wants and lives through this tightrope walking tokenism to where their earnest marketing people are probably down on their knees crying JUST TELL US WHAT YOU WANT ALREADY* thinking a single solution is possible while the higher ups see it as "all PR is good PR" and know people will move on to the next thing like remember that week we were supposed to be buying copious amounts of or burning down Chick-fil-A's to win the culture war? Or deleting Firefox because one of the CEO dudes doesn't believe in gay marriage personally? Or whatever we're supposed to be doing this week...putting stickers in our Steam sticker book I think.

So, no.

I remember my first time playing assassin's creed and finding that I was way more excited about building up my town than anything else in the game and thought, "I'm playing a game where I'm an assassin and the most exciting thing is that I get to customize a town."

I put the controller down and haven't touched it since.
well i mean actraiser was pretty cool back in the day

also, speaking of ubisoft and this, that was my favorite part of the division was building up my base which gives you nearly non-noticable stat-boosts but fills out abandoned building spaces with NPCs doing crap and also it fills up a meter so it was totally sweeeet and yes i'll do more missions for you finding some random stuff fuck those guys cryin about how they're under attack they don't have anything for my base they can wait

The base mechanic ended up being in a few of the titles, but I assume it was Assassin's Creed 2? It's far as AC games go, it is one of the better ones.

You also get to beat the shit out of the Pope.   :win :edgelord :thesewoundstheywillnotheal

Speaking of the base, how unbelievably lazy is Faye Lau? It's been well over a year and she's still sitting on her ass in the base with a "broken" leg.

YEAH SURE FAYE, I'LL GO MURDER HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR THE 1,387TH TIME WHILE YOU BURN THROUGH OUR SUPPLY OF OREOS.

She's a pretty boring, bland video game critic. She makes overly simplified arguments, and gets a lot of stuff wrong, but I don't see how someone like that has become public enemy number one for GG'ers.

Eh, that is a pretty weak deflection. I think that is exactly why some people are annoyed at her than anything. She is celebrated and markets herself as the voice of pop culture criticism but she has mostly bland uniformed opinions with a lot of stuff wrong. And neil druckmann gives her a reward.

It's the 14th of July. It's not a protest day, despite autocrats attending every year. And even if (Trump is obviously high profile) he'll be nowhere near a protestor. The parade is high security on the whole Champs-Elysées avenue.

Also diplomatic relations are just about trolling each other, apparently.

I was always the goody two shoes introverted shy kid. Never really had edgy days. I don't like MCR, but I legitimately think The Black Parade is a fantastic album for the story it tells.

My "edgy" days were about 8 years ago, when I read The God Delusion and began to identify as an atheist. I was on-board with Hitchens' anti-theist rhetoric, and saw those who were religious as ignorant and needing to be reformed, or however you want to frame it. I was never "militant" and let people go about their own beliefs, but I internally (unfairly) judged a lot of people back then.

My edgy days (which was middle school) consisted of me making Hitler jokes all the time and thinking it was cool.

Really not sure what was wrong with me.

Speak of the devil.

Quote
Today, he is surrounded by a group of his supporters, who have planned to come in force and take the front seats of this VidCon panel, which is focused on the lives of women online.

The panel's first question drops. It’s about why feminism — online and in games — is an issue worthy of discussion.

Sarkeesian notes Benjamin's presence and begins speaking.

"If you Google my name on YouTube you get shitheads like this dude who are making these dumb-assed videos," she says. "They just say the same shit over and over again. I hate to give you attention because you're a garbage human. These dudes just making endless videos that go after every feminist over and over again is a part of the issue of why we have to have these conversations."

The crowd gives her a positive response, with some whoops and cheers.

On the front rows, Benjamin and his retinue rock back and forth, as if they are watching a comedy show. He yells back that he be allowed to debate with her.

But she won't debate him. She understands that he's not in the least bit interested in what she has to say.

Both sides are fucking embarrassing.  Classy way to start things off, there, though, Anita.  :doge

These people make a fucking living, hundreds to thousands of dollars a month. By harassing and constantly hounding women because it's "funny" and as men they obvious "know better" anyway

I'm sure the shit stains on VOAT are spanking it to this very thread. Laughing it up over NEOCUCK and it's "fucking sjw distinguished mentally-challenged fellows".

This "community" if gaming is so damn poisonous

Quote from: CaviarMeths;242075364
These apes thought they could intimidate Anita Sarkeesian of all people LOL.  I wonder how many of them got that "adrenaline high" and how many were just embarrassed to be owned by a woman in real time.



Eh, I'm sure they're reading, but VOAT is the most irrelevant corner of the internet in existence.  They only exist because goddamn reddit had too high standards.
:badass

Quote from: Mesoian;242075499
Like...It's fucking mindblowing.

And these trogs just eat it up. I read yesterday that 6 of the dudes in those first three rows are making FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH on their patreons. They are literally getting paid 30,000 a year before taxes to be sexist assholes who spend their time harrassing women on the internet and to make special appearences to harass women in person.

This is where we're at. The crazed bizzaro world where Al Bundy became president and "NoMaam" is thriving, healthy, profitable entity.

And people will still, STILL, hand wave this shit away with some "not all gamers" shit.



That was never, ever, EVER, the goal of gamergate. It was ALWAYS a harassment campaign. Nothing more, nothing less.

once on an old group blog i mocked a guy's shitty column from a local newspaper for a ~25,000 person college town and he signed up two months later to call me out for my ignorance and demand receipts on my "so-called facts"
