I dont think you understand how serious of an issue this is.
30 years later and its still doing insane damage to society and genders, these disgusting tropes are just the tumor in video gaming.
I give it another year before society itself collapses all over the world.
these kind of videos should go straight up to "mass debate", not here.
I like how Facepunch has debated so much that we kinda just checked out of the whole thing
"oh a video people will debate ugh whatever"

Also the subject of the video is blindingly obvious. Society should not be so fucked up that the concept of making Ms. characters being bad has to be explained by a 25 minute long video...
This has been established in Feminist literature for years. It's De Beauvoir's concept of the "Second Sex" or Dubois' "Veil" in which white/male is considered "default" while black/female is the "other".

I believe the arguing has lessened over time, as more people visit tvtropes, gather Anita's arguments before she posts her videos and toss them around. Pretty much everything she has said and likely will say have been argued long before the release of her other videos.
I personally visit these threads to laugh at people. If only michaeljacksonpopcorn.gif wouldn't get me banned.

i wouldnt call it debating really
Normally I'd be like "oh not participating is consent to the status quo" or whatever but I am kinda burned out and ALSO arguing on Facepunch does not do much but let us circlejerk about lofty sociopolitical concepts without being qualified to do so
I really can't stand this woman. The only quality thing that comes out of her is her video intros.

People are done arguing cause its just boring, Anitia is predictable and just wastes time and says nothing worth arguing when you think about it because its so poorly done and argued on her part, or insanely insignificant.
I disagree with the part where it was implied that Rochelle from Left4dead2 suffers from smurfette syndrome.
Why?

What's poorly done/argued in this video? I thought it was well done, perhaps the best yet.
And insignificance is subjective and begs the question why you bother clicking on the thread in the first place.

Yeah, I wasn't too sure about that since there are technically other female characters in the series, but she arguably does still fit since she's the only female playable character in L4D2 before they added the L4D1 campaigns back in, and the only one in her team.
Anita talks about Ms.Mans

She is predictable because she is reiterating decades old feminist arguments but using video games as examples instead of books, movies, and tv shows.
I already knew everything she was going to say in the video because the Ms. Male Character trope is as obvious as Smurfette syndrome.
She probably feels the need to go over the basic axioms before getting to more advanced stuff based on the ignorant response to her first video

My god this whole thing is so fucking stupid.
Stop. Everyone just stop. Don't post. And let this all blow over, let it not be like last time and the times before that. [B]PLEASE.[/B]
why can't we just play video games and not worry about how Wendy Koopa having a bow somehow is having a negative influence on this generation

Excuse me?
No, I wont let this blow over.
Fucking Ms.Pacman and Pacman had a fucking child born out of wedlock.
Anita actually brings this up for some reason.
yeah ok

Because video games are subject to criticism just like any other entertainment medium

How to avoid feminist shitstorms
Step 1: Don't click the thread
Congratulations
Place your bets.
Im betting by page 3 this will get locked.

Page 6.
Page 4
I gotta say i'm having trouble understanding what Anita is ranting about. Putting bow onto a character is much less sexualized way for showing a character's gender.
[QUOTE=DrCactus;42905077]Seems more like needless nitpicking than anything else[/QUOTE]
This video is needless nitpicking.
Im sorry I need something like a bow to tell me if a fucking cartoon alligator is a girl or boy because if they all looked the same you cant tell, unless they put some dick and pussy on them, YOU CANNOT FUCKING TELL WITH ANTHROPOMORPHIC CHARACTERS IF THEY LOOK THE SAME.
Then she talks about the girl koopa, and fucking bases her character off the 1990s cartoon, which isnt video games.
Then brings up the implied gay guy in super punch out, but says its homophobic, which I dont see anything homophobic about it, more just stereotypes to give a character fucking character who has like no voice or anything.
Also megaman are fucking robots.
And holy fuck she brings up religion with Adam and Eve and acts as if Eve is a sequel to Adam, like Ms.Pacman is to Pacman.
She is a fucking clown and really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
I would like to place a bet on page 9 please
Page 200 ... After a long and drawn out debate, all parties will agree that videogames are just fun and should be enjoyed as they are. Gabe Newell will then take the opportunity to announce ep 3 and the thread will shutdown Facepunch due to heavy traffic. Historians will note that the OP was an NSA plant sent by Obama to cause WW3 but was foiled after his cat knocked over a bottle of mountain Dew next to the keyboard, frying his rig.
