No, I won't get it- especially since I meet the criteria you seem to think would inform me otherwise.

YOU don't get to say what is an acceptable joking matter.
What about murder, can you joke about that?
Classic nontroversy.
The funny thing is I came here to make just this point. The sort of things mentioned in the above article are hardly exclusionary to female characters. Men get murdered, mutilated, sexualized ect. and nobody bats a damn eyelash. Do the same for female characters and people get angry.
you have written EVERYTHING I felt. Thank you, im often shocked at the rage-filled swill that jezebel poops out. And the comments. ..my lord, second only to yahoo I think...actually im not sure its a toss up lol.
They just wrote an entire article straight-up feeding the 4chan trolls! As a group of people who are generally supposed to be internet-savvy, this was not a wise move. DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. IT'S 2014. 4CHAN ISN'T SOME MYSTERIOUS ENTITY ANY MORE. KNOW BETTER.
First of all, this is definitely the work of /b/ or some related entity. Second of all, you guys dug your own grave on this one by writing multiple articles about previous troll material (namely the PUAHate and #YesAllWomen articles from a couple weeks back) showing that you were an easy mark and willing to get worked…
hey anita (who doesn't even like video games, she said it not me.) had gotten 150,000 dollars or so from her kickstarter (how'd that turn out by the way...)
if the issue is so important why doesn't she make a video game with a woman character?
there seems to be a lot of entitlement among people like lindy, do you even…
Why is the Feminist Frequency video, particularly this one, posted to this article? You are talking about player characters and Anita is cherry-picking NPCs to make a point about how women are objectified as background characters (nevermind the larger issue that all background NPCs are disposable, interchangeable,…
They already make games for women. Just look at how much cash you idiots dump into that Kim Kardashian game, or Candy Crush.
Complete feminist nonsense. Women are a niche market in the AAA hardcore genre (social media games don't count ladies) no matter how much you want to believe the 'guurl gamers' are everywhere. It's common sense, market to the vast majority of your customer base: men.
"not just sexualized prizes"
I was about to say "no offense" but i guess I do mean offense -
I think part of the difficulty in convincing studios to produce AAA games with female leads is in the way that we react to them – If you make a generic shooter game, complete with a white male protagonist with a 5 o'clock shadow, it usually is torn down or built up on the merits of the game. If you drop a female…
>Here are some facts: Women play video games (almost 50% of all video games and a third of PC and console games!)
it needs to stop
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The number of people that care about who live to create social media backlash and will trip over themselves to circlejerk about girls and science, is a lot larger group than the number of girls that are super interested in having NASA shirts.
I kind of have to agree.
Cope with sexual harassment? Cope with somebody violating your body without permission and being in SELF DENIAL that a stranger's penis was in her mouth with out her consent. This don't sound to sensible at all. And "goes along for a while" Really?!! Do you realized what you just posted?
