Flash Game Makes Players Beat Up "Tropes vs. Women" Creator

[PurePareidolia]

God damn it, this is the exact same logic as the 9/11 truth stuff - "Isn't that convenient? Guess she did it herself! That's logic!".

Don't expect logic from these ppl - it's very much a "she's saying mean things about my toys T.T" sort of thing. Or in this guy's case, that plus him apparently being crazy.

I know but the thing is, I can (and do) say the exact same things because the problems are really obvious and I care about stuff being done to fix them, but it's solely the fact she's saying making the same (or similar - I don't know her exact opinions as the videos haven't been made) argument that causes this. I know people compartmentalize but that doesn't stop the double standard from being mind blowing.

The worst thing about this is that I'm not at all surprised.

Oh I am, surprised it didn't happen sooner. Which is even worse.

Here's hoping it was some kid that made it. Sure it is pretty much a scam, and she has the analyzing and speech skills of a damn rag not deserving of a penny, but this is just childish.

(Face palm) ...Okay, that's just going too far. Yes, what she did was morally wrong... but this isn't helping! Gah... and my folks wonder why I don't like people very much...

Ugh, haters, they aren't happy unless they go totally off the deep end, really all it does is make them look either really stupid or make the other side look that much better.

Room for one more?

Can I come too?

CAPTCHA: one hit wonder - yeah, that pretty much sums it up...

You don't think that the creator coming from a place that celebrates sexism and trolling should raise any questions?
The video does make genuine arguments. Thats not my problem and if you think I disagree with it as a whole, then I am sorry for the mistake, no need to attack me over it.

No, what I was getting at was the hypocrisy, no one would care if we were beating up a man, whatever his occupation would be.

And you think the best people for this example are terrorists and dictators? Wanting to hit somebody because they have killed countless people, and wanting to hit somebody because they have an opinion you dislike are not the same thing. Not even a little bit.

But I would care, depending on the person. I don't care that dead murders have these things made about them, but that has nothing to do with their gender.

I used those examples because I know there are flashgames for that, but now I know there are games to beat up american politicians etc.

Okay, rephrasing. Woman hits man with a...book or whatever on the head, no no no judge, we were just playfighting. Man hits said woman with exact same force and he's going to jail guaranteed.

I was having an immature moment here. Removed post.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

Okay, that does it... I'm getting a lobotomy!

But seriously why would this even be made? Why, God, Tell me Why! It's stupid, insensitive and just plain redundant...

It's unlikely, but wouldn't it be genius if this was all some clever marketing plot?

 

[w00tage]

Publicly calling for Ms. Sarkeesian to be beaten up for her views? Completely and utterly unacceptable, which is doubtless why the creator of this game did not do so.

Creating a publicly available game where people can beat up Ms. Sarkeesian in effigy? A cowardly attempt to say from behind a curtain that Ms. Sarkeesian should be beaten up for her views. Also completely and utterly unacceptable.

Check Kahuna´s comments on the previous page, you will find some amusing facts about him.

Hey, now, I ain't about to judge what someone pulls their pudding too, if weird tentacle cartoons involving sonic are your thing, more power to ya.

I'm convinced that their are aliens, I'm convinced that they know about us. And I'm also convinced the reason they haven't made any real contact is shit like this. This is why if they ever do make contact it's gonna be at the end of a plasma Rifle.

thank you for proving Ms. Sarkeesian's point, dumbass.

Theres nothing else to say, this simply proved her on her point 100%. Smart move random Newgrounds forum poster, now you don't have your game on their site AND you proved the lady you despise so much 100% true, good fucking job.

While here, all I can say is that a large amount of gamers casually use sexist, homophobic and racist remarks commonly. I don't think even her highlighting then telling of ways to fix sexism in games would even phase the gaming community in the slightest. We'd still be calling everyone a ****** and a **** and everything we didn't like gay. We need some more mainstream in us before we can actually talk-nice to each other.

To be honest, i'd like to see the first episode of this Tropes VS Women and THEN make my opinion.

or you could watch her current videos & see the projected quality, legitimacy, & fasihion of them.

And then wonder why the fuck she needed $6,000 in the first place.

Because shes doing this to make a profit so that she can eat. Not everyone lives in your magical fantasy land where things don't cost money to buy / use.

This is in poor taste.

That said, it IS a scam, and it is amusing that nearly the entire escapist community supports it. You know what she'll do with the money? NO, you won't see any groundbreaking games, nor will you see women in respectful clothing or plot positions or as strong main characters. You'll get low budget videos that cost pennies to make, while she pockets nearly $200k.

You're throwing money the wrong way guys. Anita's videos will accomplish absolutely nothing, because the only thing that matters is firsthand game sales.

What I said to the other dude. Here it is for you though: Because shes doing this to make a profit so that she can eat. Not everyone lives in your magical fantasy land where things don't cost money to buy / use. I assume she has no other job then this, of course she wants to be payed for it.

When I read the title of this thread, the first thing I thought was "Hmm, I wonder if it's from Newgrounds?" And sure enough, it was.

You guys must be new to the site, if this made news here.

 

[Aprilgold]

right, a vblogger with internet access and a masters who speaks at universities needs money.

SURE THING CHAMP.

By the way if you didn't catch it, I'm saying you're wrong and stupid. Have a great day slugger!

This post translates to:
I COULD'T THINK OF WHY YOUR WRONG SO I JUST PUT WORDS DOWN ON KEYBOARD AND HOPED IT WOULD MAKE YOU WRONG!

It didn't, in case your wondering.

Apple makes products that are worse then their last product so that the next one sells more because it adds a new feature. The rinse-and-repeat this for literal millions and your calling someone who has to spend time combing through thousands of games, identifying several different traits that would be considered sexist, putting into words how this one particular trait in this game was sexist and then do this for the next couple thousand games.

6,000$ is a fine price. Essentially saying what she is doing a scam is like saying that since this new car out on the lot is made by robots it should be free to humans to drive. It just doesn't work like that mate, it just doesn't.

OF COURSE this is also assuming she doesn't own a giant collection of games from the begging of characters in games to now, but I doubt she does.
