Someone craps on Feminist Frequency with a bunch of phamplets at E3 - Polidicks

[quote]Letter-sized stickers appeared on traffic light poles around the convention center this morning, decrying Anita Sarkeesian, creator and host of the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games and Positive Female Characters in Video Games series. The "Fem Freak" flyers stand in stark contrast to the typical advertising found around the convention center celebrating the upcoming release of anticipated video games. The bottom of the flyer states "All Your Tropes Are Belong To Us Honey" and the [B]background repeats the hashtag "GamerGate."[/B] [/quote] Source:[url]http://www.polygon.com/e3-2015/2015/6/18/8806411/anti-feminist-frequency-pamphlets-appear-on-poles-around-e3-convention[/url] Sounds a lot like a troll [QUOTE=ScumBunny;48042392][URL="http://gamepolitics.com/2015/06/18/anita-sarkeesian-targeted-anti-femnist-flyers-outside-e3"]http://gamepolitics.com/2015/06/18/anita-sarkeesian-targeted-anti-femnist-flyers-outside-e3[/URL] Update: DocMelonhead and Metroidgmr shared several links (here, here, and here, for example) that show "protest art" using a similar art style and modus operandi in distributing said art (in the early hours of the morning under the cover of darkness).

Well, I have no sympathy for a fraud like the Sarkeesian

Isn't fem freq satire anyway? I always thought it was.

[QUOTE=draugur;48042239]Isn't fem freq satire anyway? I always thought it was.[/QUOTE] Sadly, no. She's not.

[QUOTE=draugur;48042239]Isn't fem freq satire anyway? I always thought it was.[/QUOTE] Well the kickstarter that racked up $100,000 didn't advertise satire.

[QUOTE=draugur;48042239]Isn't fem freq satire anyway? I always thought it was.[/QUOTE] no, shes not.

All this does is stifle the conversation, which wasn't really an open and logical debate to begin with.

This kind of shit slingy, I'd rather we fight Sarkessian's bullshit with reasoned arguments and logic in public and make the dumb jokes in private not the other way around.

[QUOTE=Mr.Cthrobot;48042356]Probably someone sarkeesian hired since these groups of people are known to do this.[/QUOTE] its possible, but she is so hated by most people that someone would probably do this anyway

[QUOTE=Mr.Cthrobot;48042356]Probably someone sarkeesian hired since these groups of people are known to do this.[/QUOTE] Probably an idiot who hates her or a third party dickhead trying to stir shit.

Gamergate scandal looks so fucking dumb from the outside.

[QUOTE=Mr.Cthrobot;48042356]Probably someone sarkeesian hired since these groups of people are known to do this.[/QUOTE] Understandable why you'd think that, but that's a pretty bold statement.

"KOTAKU UNION: GAMERS REJECT FEMINIST POPPYCOCK" Because when I think heavy-hitting, on-the-mark games journalism... I think [b]Kotaku[/b]. :v:

[QUOTE=Raptors!;48042445]Gamergate scandal looks so fucking dumb from the outside.[/QUOTE] You know as someone following it pretty closely I'd say it's pretty dumb from the inside too.

[QUOTE=Rossy167;48042489]You know as someone following it pretty closely I'd say it's pretty dumb from the inside too.[/QUOTE] All in all, we've had a pretty terrible time.

kinda off topic but I remember some clueless local online gaming store site on FB unaware of who she is posted that picture of Sarkeesian with her games and then the comments were just talking about how much she whines more than plays those games.

[QUOTE]a group of street artists who do highly republican far right orientated street art.[/QUOTE] So they're pissed that she's a feminist, and we're pissed that she's a [I]bad [/I]feminist, right?

I'm pretty damn upset now. I really enjoyed my little ignorant world where fem freq was satire.. It was a world filled with many laughs and good times.

[QUOTE=DuCT;48042736]Her Kickstarter series isn't even half way done, and also way past the expected delivery date. She also purposefully misrepresents the games that she talks about. She's has also been involved with some shady shit in the past also.[/QUOTE] The worst case was when she called Max Payne 3 sexist because in slums you wander into a brothel to cut a deal with the gangs. She completely forgot to mention that Max notices the women are being held against their will, says 'fuck this' and takes on the entire gang controlling it and attempts to free the women. Well no, the worst case was with TW3 but I'm taking about just in her series.

I'd also like to point our that she supported #cancelcolbert and then a few months later appeared on the show herself and seemed to be quite happy about it all the while Steven Colbert poked holes in her tropes vs women in video games arguements. Furthermore, when Colbert asked "name 3 games which are sexist" All she could name off was Grand theft auto. Which isn't surprising considering she doesn't play video games in the first place and [URL="http://anongamer.tumblr.com/"]didnt even write her own tropes vs women in video games videos.[/URL]. I can only conclude that she is taking a side in the gender discussion to perpetuate her own career as a public speaker. I just don't understand why people support a fraud like her. Actually scratch that, I do know why. People just want a side to pick and want to sit on the moral high horse of their choosing. It just so happens that feminism is an easy high horse to sit on.

[QUOTE=Antlerp;48042766]ye all that stuff the other posters said + [video=youtube;Afgtd8ZsXzI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afgtd8ZsXzI[/video][/QUOTE] I feel like this short, out of context clip doesn't really do a whole amount, she's said before she plays games but doesn't consider herself a gamer due to the connotations that puts forward, and in this clip she says she learned a lot during making it, I think it's entirely fair to say she possibly carried on learning about the subject up to and during making her videos

[QUOTE=Raptors!;48042445]Gamergate scandal looks so fucking dumb from the outside.[/QUOTE] From someone whos been watching since before the gamergate hashtag was made, gamergate is the most batshit insane controversy i ever seen because of how many people involved on the "anti-gg" side are just horrible at lying and how the pro-gg side keeps finding these batshit connections that turn out to be true. and i love it for that. Gamergate has also been responsible for cutting off pretty much every gawker ad partner they can find to the point where they have to use stuff like adchoices again.
