[QUOTE=Devodiere;39943814]mate you need to learn about how internet trolling works, death and rape threats are the standard. i still hold to my statement about how her awful PR of magnifying trolls and pushing all her critics into this category certainly didn't win any friends and with her awful track record of videos claiming everything was sexist with no real substance behind her arguments, no-one expected much insightful.[/QUOTE] oh please barely anyone knew about her but as soon as she made the kickstarter a huge portion of the internet gaming community had a shitfit and flew into a misogynistic rage just for the fact that she said that she'd be making a video series in the future that examines the roles of women in gaming. when so many people are attacking her before she's even made a single argument then I'm pretty sure it's safe to push them all into the one category if death and rape threats are the "standard" then it really says a lot about how the gaming community feels about women, and it also really says a lot about you how you pass it off as just something you have to expect and put up with [quote]she still could've surprised everyone with something insightful and actually progressed shit by making people like thunderfoot come up with far more complex arguments than "someone being imprisoned doesn't remove any and all agency they ever had", people were trying to pick it apart and she could've used that to heighten the discourse, but of course she achieved absolutely nothing and turned it all into a shitstorm. so much for that.[/quote] oh of course, it was her intention all along to turn it to turn it all into a shitstorm and receive all those constant death and rape threats you're being delusional by blaming the entire shitfest on anita when it was the gaming community at large acting like babies at the simple idea of there being a woman criticising their precious medium

[QUOTE=Devodiere;39943387]that's not what's happening at all. there have been heaps of people criticising games and examining them with varying degrees of success. extra credits, errant signal, action pts are just a few off the top of my head and they do EVERYTHING better than anita.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;39944190]difference between Anita and extra credits, errant signal, and action pts she's a woman[/QUOTE] hahahahaha, oh wow. extra credits went downhill long ago and it's a trio with one being female so i don't know how that sits, but if you've actually watched any video of the others then you'll see the massive discussion difference. action pts most recently did his notes on a semiotic analysis of the VGAs, anita misunderstands tropes for 20 minutes. if you actually watched them and can't see the difference between them then i'm seriously impressed.

Some guys sure have a persecution complex. This women isn't being conniving and deceitful using the 'cyber-bullying' to get more money. To jump to that conclusion kinda shows you hate women. She just likes games and wanted to examine some problems in them.
[I]by showing us how disgusting and misogynistic the gaming community can be, she's just asking for attention! it doesn't at all help prove her points about women in video game culture, no-sirree~[/I]

Anitas videos are 100% fact, too. Show me where it isn't.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;39944527]Anitas videos are 100% fact, too.

Seriously, the videos are all fact, if you can't point out one falsehood in them I don't think you have any reason to be so extremely critical. Don't just dismiss me like that.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;39939883]Nothing to do with the gender actually. The perpetrator is the rapist, if they both feel they were raped it's probably the fault of the one who initiated the rape. No clue, I'm not a legal expert on this. Don't know what you mean by, "too", but it's possible for a drunk person to feel raped even though they initiated the contact. I don't want to say in this context because it's a made up story with no details. I'd say in most cases, if this goes to court, I would say the perpetrator shouldn't be charged if he's also drunk or whatever, even if the person feels raped. If the person's sober and the person who feels raped is slurring their speech, I feel they should call a cab for them and send them home. Yeah, I already talked about this. Consent is a hard topic to discuss. It would be best if you outright asked, but that's a naive way to think about things and will not happen. You should be aware of a persons body language and stop immediately if they look uncomfortable or say no. The person should be enthusiastic. [/QUOTE] You are detached from reality. If someone gets drunk and voluntarily has sex with someone and then has regrets and feels "used" or "raped", it's their own goddamn fault. If I get drunk and kill someone, I'm still responsible. Take responsibility for your actions. Why is having sex the only thing that you are not responsible for when drunk? And before you go for straws, I'm not talking about getting fucked when blacked out. [QUOTE=Shadaez;39939883]This isn't relevant to the discussion and I will not answer.[/QUOTE] I just wanted to see if you actually have any experience at life or you're just talking out of your rear after reading some crazy feminist blogs about things that you have no understanding of.

In quite a lot of places you can't give consent when you're under "influence". Quoting from [url=www.shouselaw.com/date-rape.html]SHouse Law group's website[/url]: "If you have sex with an individual who voluntarily consumes enough alcohol and/or drugs to the point where he/she is unable to resist the sexual encounter, prosecutors could charge you with Penal Code 261 PC date rape."
consent is like innocent before proven guilty - it's infinitely safer to not do anything than it is to act and potentially ruin someone's life, and even if you're right you still showed an [I][B]extremely[/B][/I] reckless disregard for someone else's wellbeing

This is not only 100% relevant but also completely invalidates everything she has said in her video! Thank you for exposing this liar. Justice has finally been served.
This video is seriously 20 minutes of petty, nit-picking shit from some warped reality where discrimination doesn't exist and video games aren't the fastest developing medium of expression that influences the youngest generations of society and are only a quick way to make profit. She asked for $6000, the chumps that paid over that made their decision and it's not her responsibility to give a cent back or produce at a quality beyond what she asked for. Every time someone uses the "WAHT ABOUT MEN" thing it's on the same level as "I'm not racist but" or "I have a gay friend and"

[QUOTE=Silly Sil;39946573] How many times do I have to repeat myself before you'll get it that what I said wasn't directed at a situation when someone is blacked out and can be easily manipulated? Or you just can't get it at all?[/QUOTE] then wtf are you talking about? use your own fucking common sense to realize when a woman is able to consent to sex we don't need to hypothesize every fucking potential situation that can occur in this thread. besides we have already gone over this, it's just you playing dumb because you want to make some stupid point about how it's ok to have sex when you are drunk sometimes which doesn't even need to really be discussed anymore. so go ahead, keep beating the dead horse. it only makes you look like a weirdo.
[QUOTE=Silly Sil;39946573]There's a difference between being on influence of alcohol and being so drunk that you don't know what's going on. I'm talking about the former, you're talking about the latter even though I have said it time after time that I'm not talking about it and that I agree that it is rape in that case. All that was a reply to a guy who said pretty much this "if someone had alcohol then it's rape if you have sex with them". Which is obviously wrong. If you had alcohol and then you [B]WANTED [/B]to have sex with someone and you [B]WASN'T MANIPULATED[/B] into it. Then you're responsible and it wasn't rape.

Or you just can't get it at all?[/QUOTE] It depends on how it happens. If you're under the influence your inhibitions are way lower so it's easy for you to say "yes" to a lot of things, so it's complicated. For instance, if someone's drunk and wants to have sex with you, it's not rape because there's consent from both parties. If you want to have sex with someone who is drunk but still lucid enough to consent then it's not rape either. Everyone has full responsibility of their actions here. It becomes rape when you deliberately pick the most fucked up person in the party and manipulate them into having sex with you in full knowledge that they aren't in their right state of mind. If this is what you were trying to say, then I misunderstood you before and I agree, if not feel free to correct me.
