I’m disappointed in myself that I understood all of this.

Boy, oh boy, it sure would be nice for the song/videos in question to be linked in the article. Wouldn’t that just be dandy?

“I watched a few of the Tropes v. Women in Video Games videos and it was very mild and friendly. The way people responded, you’d think she was a politician passing a law to ban breast jiggle physics and anime body pillows.”

Eh, not really.  15 years is longer than most people stay at their jobs.  Not every business or project is designed to live forever.  Not a bad run in all honesty.

The backlash wasn’t really because of what she was saying; it was because she was saying anything at all.

She’s helped inspire a lot of good changes in the industry and in gamer culture. Thanks for all your hard work, Anita.

Most of the manosphere reactionaries never watched a single Feminist Frequency video. They reacted to the lies YouTube dudebros told them.

The ideas where *so incredibly* basic, 100 course level, surface-skimming concepts that the fact The Gamers(tm) reacted the way they did still dumbfounds me when I think about it. I cannot think of a single thought experiment more harmless than any concept she discussed.

It really says a lot about the world we’re living in that a woman doing a basic, surface-level feminist reading of video games became such a lightning rod. I haven’t engaged with everything she’s done, but I watched a few of the Tropes v. Women in Video Games videos and it was very mild and friendly. The way people…

ah yes because my 3DS totally didn’t have a battery that I replaced myself with a double capacity one using a standard screw driver and requiring nothing else to be removed. that definitely didn’t happen and it totally isn’t sitting in the next room.

I have this for the Atari 7800, and believe me, using the standard American knuckle-buster controller is definitely NOT the best way to play Karateka.

And for those against it, there’s no way MS would cut off CoD from PS now as it would prove Sony right and potentially block any future acquisitions that MS might want to make.

They are allowing the largest software company in the world, and the third largest company in the world by market cap, to purchase the largest game software company in the US (non first party).  That is fucking horrible.

When has MS ever been blocked?  This was always going to go this way, hell even if the court ruling had gone the other way, it just meant that the FTC could continue their review.  MS should have been forced to seperate internet explorer from windows installations in the US in the 90s.  It took google literally giving…

The article was “Gundam shows that are similar to G-Witch” not “Here are the best Gundam shows.”

Absolute dereliction of duty to not have mentioned War in the Pocket, Stardust Memory, or 08th MS Team. If G Gundam makes the cut, then the bar must be low.

By your own words, that’s unclear at this point.

The whole point of Murena’s eOS is to provide a privacy-based OS, without any kind of tracking, so why are you complaining that “it’s not worth it”? This is like saying that people should not run Linux because sometimes you have to use the command line, so “it’s not worth it”. For many people the extra power or…

No evidence was provided by the plaintiffs. None.

This actually sounds better.
