I hate to complain about this and I love the song but white straight men are not the majority because about 51% of the Earth's population are women.

She's not entertaining, shes not informative & she's not singing on key. Her content seems to be the least watched on Escapist & this song seems to have been nothing more then an attempt to ride on the coat tails of someone with actual talent.

I don't even believe it was sexist until your statement made it so, although the choice of the words 'gamer girl' don't endear to me - and it would appear that the only thing more palpable than HIS misplaced hostility is YOURS. actually, I'm just kidding and the whole thing seems ridiculous - and he's already done a good job of acknowledging it, and it would be particularly uncharacteristic of Yahtzee to get butthurt over anything other than a good gamebelderiver said:So what you're trying to say is, you didn't get it, and you're threatened by girls in your space, and you get irrationally angry whenever someone disagrees with you or says things you dislike about people you like, and you have an inexplicable and irrational hatred towards anyone with an outsider opinion?Spectre39 said:This is simply an attention-seeking pseudo gamer girl trying to ride on Yahtzee's coattails in an shameless effort to get more views than her "talent" ever deserves. And if you are genuinely offended by Yahtzee's humor, then please and kindly GTFO the internet.
Not impressed, not entertained, not wasting any further time on your videos.
Your misplaced hostility is palpable. These kinds of comments look immature and like the worst of the gamer stereotype, the precise reason why Cracked's list of why it's embarrassing to call yourself a gamer is still accurate. I am so grateful that from what I have seen on this thread, they have been relatively few.
That all said - I'm not sure I could grasp this one completely, but I appreciate that somebody called Yahtzee out on his casual ironic hipster misogyny. It isn't that bad, and I watch his stuff anyway, but hopefully he has the grace to acknowledge some of it instead of getting all butthurt.
He makes a (hilarious) reference to it in the first bit of his "No More Heroes 2" review: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1856-No-More-Heroes-2-Desperate-StruggleDcBlast said:Question: "Did yahtzee see this?"
don't think so but i could be wrong, if anyone sees anything of a reply from yahtzee than please send me the link or the message or video or what ever.
"Why wasn't his first reaction to slap her across the tits!"
