"There are other ways in being funny than insulting people."
Yeah, it sucks.
I would also point out that anyone going this route should be doing things they like - or trying new things with a honest goal of having fun - not trying to find some hobby they can jump into just to meet chicks. The dating and meeting people will be a natural result of you having fun with other people. If you pop in,…
That was going to be my advice. People put a lot of pressure on themselves to "date." Start doing something, start being friends with women because you share interests. Don't pull the bullshit move of being nice to women because you think you can guilt them into dating you. Don't be mad at a woman if she just likes…
Go ahead and link to a feminist saying it never happens. I'm betting that you just made that up.
He's been at it for years. Go check out his bizarre creationism video. I'm not disappointed just because I've come to expect that level of reactionary barbarism from him.
Wouldn't be the worst lesson. Err on the side of not annoying and creeping people out.
Sommers is a fucking joke. You can find plenty of "articles, essays and critical looks" saying plenty of nice things about anybody. I'm more worried about the content of her work, which now consists entirely of poorly argued, silly sniping at feminists in order to justify the regressive, reactionary view of women.
1) I did not dismiss the data, nor really the argument presented (they, like you, are arguing against a strawman). The data tells us who plays what. The data tells us who self-identifies as a gamer (bet that number for females is a lot lower post #gamerghazi). This tells us nothing about 1) why that's the case nor…
Haha, Hoff Sommers a "Reknowned(?)" feminist scholar?
1) I did read the "study" (or, more appropriately, "blog post"). This is just an exercise in point missing. Why is it that women are drawn to "casual" games? Possibly because they lack the very characteristics Sarkeesian is bringing up. You can't use the fact that women aren't drawn to the games Sarkeesian is…
1) You have "data," but you tainted it with idiotic commentary. From your own link:
There are many different claims she's making. The one that seems most on point, here, has to do with the portrayal of women characters in video games. They are frequently sexualized and presented as objects for the player to toy with in order to generate an "edgy" atmosphere in games.
1) The 50%+ statistic is true. You will just respond with some nonsense about "true gamers," so no, I'm don't find this stupid response + "No True Scotsman" fallacy at all compelling.
Nice effort at explaining with a shitty analogy.
One example of "dishonesty." As with the others, I bet 5q3987431idg6 internet dollars that your assessment is based entirely on a misunderstanding of Sarkeesian's criticism.
It is impossible to understand your complaint given what you wrote. How does the existence of a male character involved in sex trafficking contradict any of her points?
Why don't you give your best example. I bet that it is either 1) comically irrelevant and based on a total misunderstanding of the argument she presents or 2) total bullshit.
I'm betting that the more you write about this, the more anyone with a function cortex will experience a similar fate.
