What does that even mean?

“intense and likable” ... those are mutually exclusive adjectives when you’re watching a baseball game. Then again, I’m not sure who would spend an evening following someone comepletely unrelated to the game around a baseball stadium.

By the way, thanks for posting screengrabs of his site. I really, really didn’t want to catch myself clicking a link to truther bait. Kudos.

Seriously, this is much better than those magazine articles I read in the late 90’s that told me to just “stick a finger in her butt.”

I’m confused, this is a performance art piece she released to the web, yet she feels if one does not receive her consent to view it then it’s rape. Could someone explain? I am a noob.

Woman can find a man to sleep with her whenever...in other news, water is still wet.

“This whole system of promises, primped previews and preorders is broken and stupid; it benefits the people who sell games, not the people who make and play them.”

Go on...

The real question is how you change your light bulbs. I have the same fixture in my apartment and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the cover off. My living room has been in darkness since Christmas.

Came for the "huge boner."

Oh thank goodness, I needed this broken down monosyllabically. Because I'm a dude.

That's interesting, because I could never get through that game. The risque shots and skimpy outfits were just too over the top and I felt genuinely embarrassed. But I never finished it to get a full impression of her character. Is she a misogynist archetype or powerful woman? Legitimately curious about this since…

Oh yes, I couldn't agree more with that. Additionally there are men out there who don't like the tropes either. Tropes are lazy writing, naked attempts to appeal to one's baser instincts (which is insulting), and just plain demeaning to a whole class of people, which many men can't get behind. But that isn't a new…

Yes! That quote you highlighted is exactly the impression I've gotten from all of this. there is no single focal point for this milieu of discontent that many of the consumers have. I probably would say that Marx is mostly right here, because I think that there may be underlying class and social issues at play that…

Oh I totally agree about the improvement. I'm actually wary of attributing the general improvement to GG, because attribution of anything to anyone in this saga has been impossible due to a dearth of actual facts. I tend to disagree about the former though. Yes there are probably people that have the time and…

before Anita, people weren't really complaining about women's being misrepresented in video games.

Thanks that was a really fascinating link!

Because people have jobs and lives in addition to their hobbies and a journalistic infrastructure that is supposed to cater to consumers already exists in the first place. They're even paid to do it, full time.

Okay here is why many people are opposed to what she says. It's not that we don't see that there are these tropes with women in games. We do, we know they are there and at this point it's actually pretty disappointing to see them again and again. What the problem I have with her argument is when she makes the jump to…

What? Did you not read this piece at all? The way these douchecanoes got away with it is that they can't be be controlled by anyone, and they were not really part of the ranks to begin with. How is starting a new movement out of whole cloth going to solve the structural problems that birthed this mess?
