One of us didn't watch the Sarkeesian video, but it's not me.
First paragraph...yep let's just go with popular usage since that is how scholars typically describe words that define ideologies.
Because nothing she says is insightful or hasn't been said about other media for decades. She's just regurgitating (sometimes verbatim) what other people have already said about television and movies.
Yeah, she made a career in video games the same way Bernie Madoff made a career in finance.
2010: "I'm not a fan of video games."
2013 after asking for money on kickstarter: "I love video games."
So is this definition of capital-P Patriarchy in the Feminist Dictionary or something? Where can I get a precise definition that has been agreed upon by world language scholars? This certainly couldn't be an attempt at a strawman, could it? Since you seem remarkably keen on defining and arguing to a term and viewpoint…
>Most of the elite are white males
It does, however, sound worse to me to hear a white male saying women, blacks, Mexicans, or any other non-white male group should quit complaining or be happy with the way it is.
Oh, c'mon - Jonn! The video is absolutely an example of a lack of poorly reasoned arguments based on something that doesn't exist. To me, that was clear. I don't see any criticisms that haven't been adressed in the videos themselves, or any that hold water. See rebuttal video above.
I had to watch Snake's butt for 14 hours in MGS4, but that doesn't make the game sexist.
little difference
The fact he is gay should make no difference. Not little. The background of someone is irrelevant.
No proof of her bullshit? Did you not watch that video? How is "I'm a gamer/I don't play video games." not bullshit?
The point he's making is that her claim of "violence against women" is unfounded in a lot of cases, because in the cases she mentions, they are games that happen to contain violence against everyone,…
I fail to see how it's so important to perfectly understand the oppressor's lives.
First of all, the thing about blaming women for what they were wearing is a very common phenomena, and usually people don't even realize they are doing it. There has been a lot of effort in recent years to call that out as victim blaming, so that is improving rapidly, but it is still pretty common.
And him being a white male somehow invalidates that fact that Anita is demonstrably full of shit how?
There hasn't? Are you forgetting rape in prison? It is a serious problem but is nothing but laughing material for most of society.
Shhhh, your hate is showing.
1. Sorry about the typo.
Oh, my mistake. I was reading from the bottom, and thought you were referring to Repizon or whatever his name is.
