"Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position."
-Wikipedia Definition


Which, if you had watched the…

It's not an MRA thing. However, that doesn't mean my arguments won't line up with those of MRAs. For the record, I don't know what their arguments are, but I can understand if they coincide here. If I were to make a comparison, it would be to this "sexualized" vs. "power fantasy" trope that is always pointed out.

Do you want scenarios that involve Real life things to just leave the real life things out of it entirely? You're complaining there is barely clothed women in sex traffic ring. Do you want them to be clothed in turtle necks or just not exist? Take your pick. You can't just ignore reality because it portrays a sex…

I believe what they mean by cherry picking is the same reference when politicians take things out of context because it suits there platform. She chose to use segments of videos even if a minute later the game completely punished or looked negative on the action. Like her video piece with hitman where she is dragging…

The one cut scene she pointed out was a woman, yes. But there are plenty with men in the same fashion. She (and apparently you) don't seem to take notice of them. So why is it that there's this focus on the minority case? There are plenty of instances where male characters (in the same games!) are being used as…

She does cherrypick games and data. As an example, how about how she complains about the violence against women in Assassin's Creed games. How many women are killed? A handful? How many men are killed? Countless. She finds it horrifying that killing a woman excites a horrified response from the viewer, but completely…

Right, one doesn't negate the other but to me some of the examples are just a bit of a stretch. I mean in a lot of cases we see bad guys (see: evil) exhibiting this problematic behavior toward women, you're not meant to like these characters and they're not supposed to be good people. So the behavior isn't being…

The way the series cherry picks is like quoting a statement such as "It's exhausting, but rewarding," but only quoting the "It's exhausting" part. The entire statement takes on an entirely different meaning.

Her arguments themselves are shallow and dishonest, responses can only so do much for them.

Well like take her criticism of Far Cry 3, talked about how one small side-quest in the game inferred violence against women while ignoring the entire rest of the game where you are actually working for a woman or how they handled the topics of sex trafficking and rape with a male character as opposed to a female.

She had been called out so many times for cherry picking, lying and twisting facts that to even consider her a member of academia is funny.

Nobody gives a shit in the real world.

I have a some issues with her work, but the angry mob that follows her around really isn't doing the community any favors.

"Cherry pick data"? If you're referring to Sarkeesian's videos, that's...not what's going on. Like, at all. Unless, of course, you want to argue that a huge chunk of academic cultural and media criticism is "cherry picking data".

And everyone has a political agenda. Choosing not to talk about this stuff is political;…

This interview made me realize just how strange the whole gamergate fiasco must look to outsiders.

Oh man, I love Colbert, but hate people that cherry pick data to further a political agenda using my favorite medium as the punching bag.


-I feel a bit queasy and sad.

I wonder how many angry e-mails Budlight with Lime and Prescott Pharmaceuticals are gonna get this week.

If you were to look up "What the fuck?!" in an encyclopedia, it would say, "See: Valkyria Chronicles on PC." Seriously, what's up with this? Was there demand? Was there an underutilized team that had this thrown their direction? What prompted this? I'll buy it, regardless of why it was created.

do you realize that sunday is a pagan word, and all the days of the week (in english) have norse connections?
