Who's gonna be the first parent to bring back the bundling board?

I'm dismissing your argument because you're blaming a woman for months of horrifying attacks directed at her.

A huge neck beard and a fedora.

So basically she should have walled herself off in some feminist ghetto, carefully avoiding interactions with any males who might find her criticisms of gaming objectionable?

While I'd love to think they'll be publishing a feminist critique of Sarkeesian's work, I somehow doubt that's where they're going with this.

I didn't misread anything, I'm just aware of more than this one post. Totilo previously said they hadn't given Sarkeesian's critics enough of a chance to respond (after the comments sections here went crazy with complaints about 'favoritism' and 'one-sidedness' due to them posting one of her videos), and this seems…

I'm not talking about the satire, I'm talking about the announcement that Kotaku's head would be publishing a hit-piece on Anita Sarkeesian any day now.

It's neither. It's me pointing out that you're blaming her for enduring countless months of horrifying abuse and threats instead of the people responsible.

So what you're saying is that she asked for it?

I'm glad people use the phrase. It's a dead give away of what sort of person they are.

So I guess after a year or two of flirting with being decent people, you all have decided to go full on regressive huh? More hits? Better contrast with a certain up and coming gaming site?

The biggest, most profitable, most successful, most influential, most long lasting MMOs have been themeparks. With the possible exception of EVE, all the sandboxes have failed. And yet there's this contingent of sandbox fans who continue to insist that sandboxes and only sandboxes will fix everything, in spite of…

People don't like to admit this, but that gear/level treadmill is super addictive. Same sort of psychological stuff going on as in gambling addiction. It keeps people playing extraordinarily well... but also makes it hard for people who can't or won't play just one game extensively (like for example, game reviewers…

Racism and sexism and the motivation behind them are the same- to maintain your power and the associated benefits of that power over others, be it as a race or a gender.

Men aren't just "fascinated" by women's body parts. They're taught, in large part through objectification like this game's, that women's bodies exist just for men, that men are entitled to look, to touch, to use, and that's all women are good for. Sexism causes real harm to humans, just like racism.

Censorship is something authorities and those in power do. Criticism, especially by an individual with no authority or power over the matter, is not censorship.

Once again, this game had a predecessor. It was from some of the same people. It was not horrible and sexist. It was actually really awesome and featured a strong, non-grotesque, not objectified, fully clothed, rebellious fighting princess similar to Merida or Arya.

The preceding game had "artsy" character design without resorting to gross sexism. Being art doesn't stop it from being sexist, anymore than being art doesn't stop blackface from being racist.

Just to be clear, I wasn't actually saying "I have a Black friend." I was mocking all of the dudes saying this game's depiction of women is OK and they're not sexist because they're married or engaged or have a girlfriend who is going to play it.

I have a Black friend.
