⊗ Volrath ⊗ Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Attention: Turn caps on for english subtitles Here's a video of a guy explaining how some video games are wrongfully labeled as sexist. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people feel offended by simple things that aren't meant for such porposes. Educate yourself by watching this video if you are a feminist hypocrite.

Lyriqz ✪ Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 This *Censored* doG, lmao. This is such a tiresome subject though. Equal rights are good, fact. People are sexist, fact. Misandrist (and those who see benefit in being one) use the feminist banner to get an advantage in the world's media. Fact. Big whoopdidoo, no one in the real world cares about the tumblr feminazis and elitist pricks who think they know what feminism is and isn't.

Wait, so you came in here just to tell everyone not to even talk about this topic? What makes you the opinion police? That's ridiculous. A lot of gamers take offense to being pointed out as men who hate women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I said this is a tiresome topic and that it's been beaten to death by the same arguments. From both sides. I didn't tell anyone what to do, don't put words in my mouth just because you may not appreciate my post. Thing is, if you're an ignorant, sexist person, you most likely won't change all the sudden. You know why? Because perfect arguments are made a million times yet we still live in a sexist world. Discussion, at this point, is clearly not something that actually changes that mindset, so it's useless in an average, everyday context and I'm perfectly entitled to expressing that feeling. As far as people who know better are concerned... well... know better and act appropiate. And gamers include both genders, so your last sentence is ridiculous. The gaming industry is mostly shallow, which means gender archetypes (muscular, physically imposing men and sandclock shaped women) are around a needless amount of times but that's not really sexism. It's objectifying people. That's not good either and the media shouldn't put pressure on people to look a certain way etc. but that's not a gender issue. That being said, the only (not literally but a suffocating majority) people who actually report on how misogynistic the gaming world allegedly is are actual misandrists, people who want to push their content through by guilt-trapping people under the false banner of feminism and/or equalitism or click-bait presses who aren't worth a shit. And quite frankly, if you react so negatively to click bait (in lack of a better term) journalism... well, let's just say you can't be the brightest bulb if you're in that category.

Grenade. Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 As a guy who hates modern feminism and loves video games, even I can admit video games and gaming culture in general are sexist as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vapor Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I remember when GameSpot reviewed GTA V and out of all the reviewers, they decided to let that feminist woman do it. Then the bitch gave it a 9 because of its depiction of women. Like that affects the game at all. GTA V well deserved a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte73 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Metal Gear Solid being my favorite franchise of all time, this modern day Feminist movement sickens me. When the character Quiet was revealed, everyone went ape shit. People were calling the game a degrading game to women and such, and I just thought to myself what bullshit that is. We have shirtless men running around in Alaska, hell a butt naked character running around doing cartwheels but ONE Female character who isn't even naked makes the whole Female gaming group go ape shit. And the reporters are acting like there wasn't even a single strong Female character. They label and pick apart at one character who we don't even know much as a character, and they branded the entire series as a game that degrades women. Some of the strongest characters in MGS were in fact women. But no, reporters just want to stir the shit pot, and make something so little, seem to be the biggest news of 2014, even if it's not even the full story.

lightning116 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 It's really easy to offend females when it comes to video games, unfortunately. Sometimes I wonder what they felt about the Saints Row series, especially with the way how you can 'doll' up the female characters. This guy is on point though. Despite the language barrier, which he sounds either Dutch, Spanish or Portuguese (and yeah I had the subtitles on.....which actually worked), I enjoyed the video and added it to my favorites. I kinda disagreed a little bit when he used the romantic comedy example but I got where he was going with it. And I read above me about people acting like a bunch of crybabies because a female reviewer on GameSpot gave GTA 5 a 9 (which is STILL a good score) and attacking her because of her feelings towards the way women are depicted in it. While I'm not a fan of GTA, she's a professional. I might not have agreed with her opinions about the women cause I've seen worse, but to take shots at her because of it and making petitions to have the game reviewed again just makes you look like an idiot and gives the feminists even more ammunition to fire back at the male demographic. I mean, that debacle was worse than the Last of Us review GameSpot made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All were very strong characters, with great character development and were treated throughout the series as legendary/great soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
