You are being further disengenuous. We're not talking about whether or not a pimp is acting "realistically" in a game. Literally, just three minutes before your quote (3:50); "Developers regularly utilize the brutilization of women's bodies and especially the bodies of prostitutes as an...

That was not your initial statement. But lets suppose I did misquote you, which I admit might be probable when looking at the mineutia of what you said. It's still a wrong statement that does not understand the concept of sexism. If we take the contrast of your argument; "If you believe gender...

It was more you didn't provide an actual quote at all. Or they acknoledge the current state of the real world where men and women experience different things, are forced under differing stereotypical conditions by society, etc... The relevance is that you said that one cannot claim...

Great use of quotes and providing evidence for your claim. As Ghandi stated, "The British have imperialistic power of India... blah blah blah". She never states anything like that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i_RPr9DwMA&list=UU7Edgk9RxP7Fm7vjQ1d-cDA], nor mentions anything about...

Where has she ever expressed "personal bigotry" towards men? I have not seen a single example of this in her videos or various tweets, not even in your offhand example where you completely miss the point of what it means for a game to "frame" violence as an acceptable means of a solution.

Nobody is saying "video games cause sexism." There is a difference between saying 'Media Causes X' and 'When X occurs, we think of it as Normal'. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzqQgAJd6Xo] This is something more people need to understand when we talk about these sorts of issues.

Personally whenever I see someone go "gosh, keep politics out of my games! They're just for fun!", I always wantg to link them to this video that pretty much perfectly surmises my thoughts on the issue; (Link here if it doesn't embed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_tdztHiyiE]) But...

PewDiePie does a bunch of charity work fairly often. If I recall correctly, raised about 250k in donations for Charity Water and matched it dollar for dollar or something to that effect. Did a few other charity events here and there to. Not saying this as an excuse for him while millions starv...

Woohoo~ This statement shows to me you still don't understand some basic concepts of feminism. If you are seriously saying to keep a relevant, historical, cultural, and societal movement "in the classroom" then you don't understand the importance of understanding and educating one another on...

Several things regarding this; 1) Many feminist issues are inherently linked to mens issues, and assuaging these issues can inherently assuage issues that men face as well. For example, the concept of "rape culture" to can easily be linked towards male rape victims. When women are asked "what...

Out of the ashes I cometh again. Frankly, I don't really know what to say that won't get drowned out in this thread anyway, so I'll make it as brief as I can. Many detractors of feminism don't understand basic concepts of feminism. If they did, they wouldn't be attacking Sarkeesian the way...

I think that is a very apt way of stating the relations currently. I recall hearing an interview on NPR where the interviewee stated "Both sides want to come away from this conflict feeling like they achieved something," and I'd say that mentality definitely fuels the conflict, if not most...

Because, again, Hamas deliberately hides themselves in civilian hubs to maximize civilian casualties. This is so they can use the numbers to their favor. Of course you will get those large numbers, regardless of how precise the tactics are. That's the strategy. Whether or not Israel's response...

I want to preface this by saying I am not commenting on Israel or Hamas in this case. I am only pointing out the dangerous flaws in your logic that I find troubling. I noticed that earlier you were saying something akin to "it is the civilians' fault for being there" and this treads a fine...

Probably interpreted it through your wording. Might have had another comment in my mind at the time. I think it was the "both sides are being dicks" as part as that sentimentality goes into "they're both dicks, they're the same!" which is a mentality I don't necessarily agree with. You see it in...
