Tropes vs Women in Video Games - Damsel in Distress - General

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;39848998]So first users I see in a thread about women are yawmmen, ownedderd, and shadeez. Either I'm stepping into a war zone, or I'm walking in the ruins of a shitstorm.[/QUOTE] yo Look, man, most people here are interested in discussing the topic at hand, and so far we've been able to do so (i think) with at least [I]some[/I] level of civility. So if you have a sanius squad joke we haven't heard yet let's just assume it was hilarious and move on. But if you feel like actually contributing then you're welcome to speak your mind.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;39848927]i think a mass debate thread on whether roxas is effeminate or not might be a much better idea than an anita sarkeesian thread.[/QUOTE] idk i say we make a forum specifically for said topic

I couldn't finish the video because it was pretty boring and more about the history than really coming with something interesting, entertaining. I don't mind videos about female roles in videogames but I think I saw some better work in the past. Also her eyes bug me out.

I thought the whole Dinosaur Planet thing was pretty interesting, never heard of it before. It was probably the best example of the trope in the video, if you ask me. But yeah it kind of dragged around the same ideas for too long instead of getting to the point. Still interested on how the next one pans out, though.

You dont just play as Krystal, the main guy is the brother Sabre, and you get an item that lets you switch between the two.

The whole sanius squad thing was just a joke to make fun of how a bunch of the same users always show up in certain topics and act like tools. Then they all argue and circlejerk until people are sick of dealing with it and leave. Every time I see one of you guys, there's always two more circlejerking and rating everyone they dislike dumb. You guys end up ranting for paragraphs and pages misconstructing arguments and calling people bigots. Not to mention the whole obnoxious smug self satisfaction you guys all seem to have. You act like its some sort of feat to dislike lmao pics (how unique). Hell when people hate you guys so much to even coin a phrase to make fun of you, you carry it around like it's some sort of badge of honor.

That is the saddest thing I have heard in a while, a special snowflake squad on facepunch? Its like middle school clicks all over again.

Turning people's insults into badges of honour is a good way to negate the effect of their insults and actually turn it against them, I guess.

its really easy to disagree with and look down upon people when you throw them into a group and stop seeing them as individuals isn't it lol [editline]9th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=HoodedSniper;39849266]Thats what they were talking about?

[QUOTE=Shadaez;39849291] did you finish the video [/QUOTE] I skimmed through it Most of it's bullshit though

That was in interesting video, I learned a bunch of history on video games I never considered. Though I am confused as to the purpose of the video, does she want equality across media? Because I can agree that's it's certainly bullshit how chicks are treated in some countries. But in media, nobodies actually being harmed and anyone with any sense knows it's just pretend and ideals like 'women are helpless' shouldn't be withheld in the real world... Perhaps I need to read more into this.

The games themselves really aren't that bad. i meant this one [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrmRxGLn0Bk[/media]

Yeah okay that's great and all but it's not at all relevant. When I said that before I genuinely said it so you wouldn't bring up this shit again, you know it never goes anywhere. If you have something worth discussing say it, most would be interested in talking about it, don't just come here and give people shit for not agreeing with your opinions.

The guy skimmed it and waded through the bullshit, he can have an opinion on it.

I dont think Roxas is effeminate, didnt call him a women because of anything just because he crossed my mind, none of it affected sexism, you are doing EXACTLY what I just called you out on. Calm your neckbeard dude and stop going anal over shit, its pathetic.
