i think its the burn she did unto anita
She makes an excellent point, why hasn't she ever said anything about portal?
because she figured out 5 years ago no one gives a $hit about her positive comments, because they aren't very well researched or codified.
Neat, looking into the chick that posted that turns out she had an Ostomy and continues to Belly Dance to this day. So basically she doesn't let life get her down, unlike a certain someone and people on Twitter.

Burns like a motherfuckin' house on fire
Anita just got sent on an emergency trip to the burn ward.

There are plenty of games that have female characters like portal in the west and japan. Occasionally more sexualized though and thats wrong.

[QUOTE=J!NX;49006856]the worst up thing about sexism in video games is that I've honestly never... actually seen any real hardcore feminism in, well, almost ANY of the hundreds of games I've played
I mean, yeah, some games have sexism, some games are nothing BUT sexist, but it's very minimal in the western market. Its there but I see tons of examples of strong powerful women in games, like Yennefer, or Ciri, Jade Aldemir, Alyx Vance, Chell, and, tons more. And like I said, sexism does exist, but it just isn't nearly as common at Anita constantly tries to parade.
Eastern/Japanese games however seem to be the only market actually teeming with feminism. there are a huge number of games with senseless amounts of tits and cleavage, and women in unnervingly skimpy outfits.
Why is this? Well, simply because [B]Asia is a really sexist country[/B]:speechless:, and the US for example has a bit less sexism.[/QUOTE]
Well no. Sexualizing females for male audiences is not sexist. Sexualizing male characters for female audiences isn't sexist either. Not to mention gay audiences, etc.
Stop demonizing sex in the name of being progressive.

Why is this? Well, simply because Asia is a really sexist country, and the US for example has a bit less sexism. Sexism is a very serious issue in America even still and shouldn't be joked about, but if you want to bitch about sexism in gaming you should instead look to, you know, society as a whole. Games are simply an anomaly of a culture, they are shaped by it and are forged by the society they are created in, just like film, music, and all forms of media. even in japan, where titties are everywhere in games, sexism doesn't actually "exist" in gaming direct, it exists in Asian society as a whole, the games having sexist imagery is merely caused by being shaped by a sexist country.

originally I used a different word/location so it sounds really dumb of a sudden
and I see way more sexualization in eastern games than western, that's not to say all sexualization is sexist, but if Anita were to pick on a game for being sexist she should at least pick on games that at least actually sexualize women in the first place. She's the type that would bash a game for bikini ladies even if the game did it far more to men than women, so that was my logic. Eastern markets seem to show far more sexualization than western markets.
I'll just remove it to not derail the thread, people can still read it in qoutes anyways and I'm not sure how to reword it, way too late to be posting

Far too many people still take her seriously, and she is still seen positively by those who only have taken a cursory interest in this whole sordid debate.
Only way to stop her is to ignore her and stop paying attention to her dumb ass
That is god's honest truth

Shes on TIMES most influential person list, praised by academia and respected by the mainstream media.
Letting her slide criticism free when she pushes such obvious bullshit feels morally wrong.

Well you said "Asia" is sexist citing how they sexualize women so much in games...
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49006950]

well I was being dumb, I also called Asia a country of all things so clearly I wasn't reading my own post. Sometimes shit just posts itself
I do know that there is sexism that goes on in certain Asian countries, at LEAST a little more than the US, but I doubt Anita [I]would ever realize this[/I] or point this out, because she's so busy seeing "Female oppression" in places that it doesn't exist.

People can't see that she's a gigantic idiot because they don't play video games and trust her 'proof' that she's a 'legit gamer and knows what she's talking about'
she pretty much has successfully trolled gamers
we just want to play games but apparently we also have to listen to political discussions on news articles, because you know, shooting people online is very deeply political and requires a lot of dissection and debate. It's not like sexism in gaming is because sexism isn't in just gaming or anything, no, not possibly the case!
The OP video did bring up a good quick point about Japanese developers not giving a shit what Anita has to say

People tried that and she got all the way to the UN so I'm dubious as to whether that's appropriate now.
[QUOTE=Butthurter;49007064]ive been saying this for years
why HASNT she talked about games that did great handling on female characters?
i recall ive even said this whilst everybody was barking at her for making that dumb kickstarter funding for her dumb series of vids that dont really help anybody other than to bark about how bad games are doing female characters, rather than actually giving insight on how to do things right
[editline]29th October 2015[/editline]
it was obvious then that shes just feeding off every money that comes her way and its even more obvious now[/QUOTE]
Cause you can't money if you can't victimize someone.
