Turbofeminists are just like regular feminists, but they employ a turbine engine in place of a traditional reciprocating piston.
[sp]at least that's what turbo is supposed to mean[/sp]
this video is dumb but also ksi is dumb also the girl in the ksi video is dumb everyone involved in this whole ordeal is dumb
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;44393216]I hate male feminists who back off whenever a female tells them off.
Just because she's a female doesn't mean she's right.[/QUOTE]
Yea, but the fact that she was the "victim" does give her the final say in the matter.
[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;44391964]Because it's pandering to a really easy market. Basically the same reason the Daily Mail and the Sun are the way they are.[/QUOTE]
I blame Kotaku for starting this. Of course I guess game journalism does attract alot of strange people.
That isn't to say that game journalists should ignore harassment, Jim Sterling does a great job of going about the topic without being a complete moron.

Maybe I should read his tweets about the topic before commenting.

That is true, but she is also the person whom it affected. It was a stupid request, but she said 'Okay' and he did it and she was fine with it and then proceeded to tell everybody that it was fine. These people are literally saying she didn't consent when it's very clear that she did. Isn't part of feminism meant to be about women being able to make their own decisions, including the decision to be motorboated as long as somebody asked and they gave permission?
i came in here expecting "tubofeminist" to be a derogatory term.
but xhe (:v:) is actually calling herself/himself/itself a turbofeminist non-ironically.

i think he just means to say that male feminists are almost always EXTREMELY beta - and in this case when the argument gets blown back to his face he drops tonnes of spaghetti
male feminists are usually just keyboard warriors anyway

I dunno i think she's right because she was the one that was moterboated and gave consent and the guy said it was sexual assault. Have you ever thought maybe, and i mean just maybe, that she knows exactly how it happened to her and not the "male feminists" falsely speaking out for her?
You know, it's just a thought. you might think I'm crazy, but i am sure there is just a smidgen of a chance she may be right.
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;44391962]If you saw the whole video, the guy is[B] seriously really aggressive in harassing[/B] everyone at this one convention, and [B]not like Joe Goes[/B], he's really nasty about it.

wut m8?
Did you not notice that everyone is playing along with him. Even at the part where he does the cunnilingus hand thing at the women they are all laughing. You could take just about every question he asked, replace him with Joe and it would look just like a Joe Goes video. His questions aren't that far from where Joe goes does, go watch a Joe goes video he asks worst questions than him.
What video were you watching? It certainly wasn't the one you posted.

maybe
I like KSI in atleast half of his vids, he's usually pretty funny.
[QUOTE=meppers;44394293]herself/himself/itself [/QUOTE]
All I'd really want is for people to stop this, why can't you just use themselves, they and so on. It's neutral, not a big incomplete list and not like "it" where they just sound like an object.
[QUOTE=Oizen;44393188]Does this guy hope this woman will sleep with him for defending her or something?[/QUOTE]
He doesn't act very pleasant to women either. I think he just has a big ego.
Also you don't have to bother with the pronoun arguments he's not a transgender.
I knew this "turbofeminist" had a familiar name.

Why does the video in the OP have to repeat itself? Fucking annoying listening to him slur "Ken ah merterbert you" over and over.

To drive home the point that it was consensual?

I found it hilarious
[QUOTE=Oizen;44393897]I dont think the fact she's a female matters.
I think the fact it was done to her with her consent is all that matters.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, and to that point she was right, but he was saying some really creepy shit to the other girls in the video, and she just said "get a life nerd".
This Ian guy is a fucking idiot, but the other guy, KSI, was acting like a major cunt in that video.

I'm with massive tits... Where have your tits gone... What do you do when you're not fingering yourself...
That video?
I'm not a feminazi, fucking cis-priveldge, whatever, myself, I really could give less of a shit most of the time, but this guy is obviously just being a dick to women.
At least Joe Goes is self deprecating from time to time, and the humour comes from the fact that he's moderately clever.

Yeah thank you, that's what I mean.
wow you're still taking KSI seriously
how have you not figured out that he's overplaying the dudebro attitude for laughs
[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;44430032]To drive home the point that it was consensual?[/QUOTE]
Could have heard it once to understand that. I don't find repetition humorous personally.

So parodying a stereotype makes it okay to humiliate and harass people on camera? Not talking about the motorboat chick, but some of the other women he insulted didn't look like they were particularly amused.

People are dicks for clicks? How is that in any way new? People would sacrifice a lot more to become popular/make money.
The motorboating wasn't harassment, but boy that cunnilingus sign at those girls was harassment. Imagine a creepy dude doing that to you in any situation. Weird

Innapropriate and creepy? Yes. Sexual harassment? No.
it is though? like, it's literally a disturbing, unwanted sexual gesture. that is sexual harassment.
i'm not defending the idiot journalists, but the guy was insanely inappropriate and it was unwanted but he continued, from making unwanted sexual comments to unwanted sexual gestures.
