"She is 'raising awareness', which is a great way of feeling like you are doing something for a cause without achieving any kind of tangible gain for it."

Okay, not satirical, just incredibly cynical.

What I will say to that, is if you are pulling tricks by framing your argument in such a way that you can pick only the evidence that supports it, you are not going to win over your detractors. You are only going to make them angry and make them harder to win them over in…

If she is getting nothing but death threats and dismissal, then she is not being successful.

She is 'raising awareness', which is a great way of feeling like you are doing something for a cause without achieving any kind of tangible gain for it.

Is this satire?

It's great that you are the type of person who tries to look at the big picture, but I am talking about the discussion you and I are having, not the jackholes on twitter. I put forward what I feel is a legitimate criticism of her work, stated I wanted a meaningful dialogue, and you dismissed it outright. Clearly, we…

Is she a journalist getting paid to do a job she can be held accountable when she does it poorly.

'Anyone who has ever had an opinion on anything ever' didn't get paid $160,000 as a journalist to state it. I expect something a little more comprehensive than what I read on tumblr every day.

Not a fan of Sarkeesian. I just take issue with the fact that she entered this with an axe to grind and thus is only going to pick evidence that supports her agenda. I think it gets in the way of a meaningful dialogue, after all, it's important to acknowledge when things are being done right as well as wrong, and that…

Thank goodness for the silliness. I felt like that was missing in MGS4 and I was afraid would not be back for this.

You can't actually be this dumb, right?

I didn't say comprehensibility was an aspect of Fantasy, merely that it doesn't need to be incomprehensible. Ultimately, their made up words are meaningless, it is the ideas they convey that are important. The words they chose to convey multiple complex ideas were too similar and provided little clue as to their…

I'm just saying, if you are going to make your language incomprehensible, you could do something to elevate that beyond expecting people to stop enjoying themselves and read through the encyclopedia you have attached to your video game. Your story being cohesive and making sense for your audience in a mainstream…

No, he described the first game, not the two sequels. A story should make sense as read. Final Fantasy IX did have a complex plot, but it did not bury that plot under ridiculous terminology. It focused on strong characterization and the the conflicts spring from those interactions. I agree, I should not be wasting my…

Typically a game, movie, or book sets this up with a little thing called a 'Protagonist', a character the audience is meant to identify with, someone from outside the fantasy world (For example a couple of characters centuries removed from the setting). That way the audience has to learn the world and state of affairs…

Fantasy often uses a basis of real-world references, because writers want the audience to understand what they are writing. Tolkien spent his first chapter explaining what Hobbit is because he knew people wouldn't immediate recognize the term and wanted to create a well-defined universe his audience could understand.…

Oh wow. It's so simple when you sum it up in a dozen paragraphs and sit down and explain what every term means! That totally explains the lack of clear characterization!

Having a game that functions too fast to think so you need the game to think for you sounds like bad game design.

The disconnect between 'Hey, run around and do stuff and have fun!' to 'Do not do a single goddamn thing the game doesn't want you to do. No weapons. No detection. You cannot even lose sight of them for more than a few seconds or take an alternate route OR WE WILL FUCKING FAIL YOU!' is excruciating.

See, the problem is all of those things have context and we can analyze and understand them in the bigger picture of things.

"Everyone needs to stop feeling the way they feel and start feeling the way I feel which is the only right and proper way to feel."
