No you don't. You have a vested interest in being a troll about this whole thing. Crowdfunding sites are filled with hundreds of people who take in money and produce nothing. Anita Sarkeesian has taken in money and produced EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO PRODUCE. Take you faux rage elsewhere, or just admit…

Did you give her any money for the kickstarter? If not, then you can kindly stop giving a shit, because it wasn't your money.

But if the only thing you remember about a 'strong' female character is her relationship to another male character? That kind of undermines how strong/important she was. "Yeah, that one lady whose name I can't remember who was married to another character whose name I do remember because he was significantly more…

I don't think so. The entire point of her latest video is pointing out when the background female NPCs are used as nothing more than disposable sex objects, and this is a game where a female prostitute is soliciting sex after your character hog ties her, while you are riding around with her slung over the back of your…

Maybe you've never backed anything on kickstarter, but there are lots of reasons why dates slip past the estimates provided. Calling it a scam is disingenuous at best, it's not like she tricked anyone into giving her money or forced them to do it. She offered a product, 7,000 people paid her a total of $160,000 to…

I don't remember the old Western movie where the prostitute was offering to bang the villain while he was putting her on the train tracks. I must've missed that one.

Nope, nope, aaaand nope.

Hypothesis: Large numbers of video games throughout history have made use of tropes that negatively portray women.

The video was uploaded to youtube 4 hours before this article linked to it, so it really isn't that impressive. I know that ruins your snarky passive-aggressive response though, so my bad.

The reason you get the "you didn't get it" is because you are arguing against points that she did not make, or that she actually addressed. Your entire rants come across as someone who read a synopsis and just assumed the rest. None of your counter points are rational or make sense in the context of what her video was…

I think her point isn't necessarily that you can kill women, it is that you can (without major repercussion) kill women who the game has previously been treating/portraying as sexual objects, which further reinforces the suggestion that they are DISPOSABLE sexual objects.

Yes, the cool kind of feminism is the one where you wish that more games sexually objectified both genders, instead of sexually objectifying neither. That is clearly a superior solution.

She started a kickstarter asking for money to make videos about sexism in video games. People gave her money to make videos about sexism in video games. She is making videos about sexism in video games.

You mean in a video intended to discuss the use of women as background characters she didn't spend most of the time talking about primary characters? Sweet jesus call the police.

You mean, if we focus on a specific aspect of a game that fits in with the central theme of the video we are making, then yes, this particular game does exactly what is being discussed and allows you to hog-tie a prostitute and drop her on train tracks (and the entire time she is too busy offering to have sex with you…

If you were adopting a child the woman ALSO would not say she was pregnant, so this analogy is functionally useless.

Your problem is that you have started with an untenable position.

Based on your sample size of ONE word (and variations on that same word)?

which just further proves the point that pronouncing words that start with G does not have any kind of hard rule, and the person who created GIF should be the one who determines the 'correct' pronunciation.

And yet plenty of other words that start with G-I use the J sound. Gin, Giant, Giraffe, Gigantic, etc. etc.
