No, Martin Luther King organized people, campaigned in fucking Washington DC, had a strict set of tactics that he held his people to because he wanted to make tangible gains in his cause. (For example, he stressed non-violent resistance, because he knew violence would only confirm the suspicions of his detractors). He

"Plus, it seems like you, and so many other Sarkeesian critics, think she is calling all games evil."

Oooh, there's that confirmation bias. See, you are reaching conclusions that support your argument without going to actually find any evidence. You have an argument you want to use against me so the details aren't

"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

Good Female Characters=Being excessively violent for any reason.

Well, except River, and they couldn't find an actual Redhead for Amy.

Having dinner with a group of Doctor Who cosplayers I go to cons with and we are just tearing this thing apart. What is up with Eleven's pink socks? Could they not get an older porn star for River? Also, I understand the Impossible Astronaut denim outfit is a popular and easy outfit, but it is not easy access. No love

I feel like you didn't read what he actually said and really just needed to Moffat bash there.

Dobby Doctor being turned into a floating golden God with the power of love is not what I would call a satisfying payoff, which is a shame because 2/3 of that was amazing.

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?

"It's not like the Battlestar Galactica remake where they can just change the genders of the main characters because they're retelling the entire story."

I've been a Marvel fan for a while, but I always kind of stayed away from the cosmic side of it. Half the X-men teamed up with the Starjammers and dealt with this little civil war in the Shi'ar empire a few years back, but that was my only foray into the greater Marvel Universe.

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
