Just how much something's not right has me worried here. Everything I've read had only his father's point on what to do. It just feels like it's being pushed in one direction, I mean, if that's literally all there is to it, I'm with you. Just feel like I don't have enough info now.
It's not just that reason. You acted like the biggest differences didn't exist in your argument, it could have been something I didn't enjoy and I'd feel the same way.
That's probably it. I used to love Bob's videos but ever since his Metroid Other M videos he hasn't been the same
I guess, it's just kind of the way Bob does that annoys me. I'm not sure what it is but Yahtzee, Sterling, and others just pulled it off in ways where Bob didn't. This wasn't the first time one of his videos annoyed me that much.
Not sure if you're addressing me or James but I said it wasn't that she focuses on video games, it's that she flat out ignores real issues. She makes videos about real issues and I won't even care about the ME2 thing because that will do too much good. I just don't agree on Bob either. Whatever his intention it just felt like another video to piss people off by him. Yeah some deserve it but I never felt like he respected his fan base. Just what I got out of it in part due to him doing stuff like that a lot
My issue isn't so much with what he says, but how he says it. It's nothing but him talking down to his audience. I didn't say she ever said games were evil nor did I think she was ever trying to take them away, I thought they were bad for basically trying to get blood from a turnip.
Yeah, the trope exists in early games, but it exists as an extremely simple way to communicate with the player why the character is going through these tasks. And with limited technology, "Get the girl" is about the easiest way to communicate that when story is just an afterthought.
His video, white knighting, acting like the only people who have something against her are idiots immediately thinking she wants to "take away our video games"? Yeah, I've got a problem with that. Frankly, it's just a matter of him not respecting our audience, if he wants to think the videos are good and present an argument for that, so be it. The way I read it at least was another one of Bob's videos where if you don't agree with him, you're an idiot.
Anita really only bothers me on two issues. One is the recent ME which is by far the lesser of two evils and the other is how she flat out ignores much worse issues. The American military has a system where women are extremely likely to be sexually assaulted yet no one is persecuted for this. I had to do a paper on that subject and couldn't even make it through a documentary because they got so bad. If she used her fame to help that, she can says whatever the hell she wants about games.
It's not from The Big Picture, it's from his show Overbytes http://gameoverthinker.blogspot.com/2013/03/overbytes-on-tropes-vs-women.html?spref=tw
You still ignore way too much about the many, many factors that seperate these two. I shouldn't even have to go into them because you'd have to be blind to see them. Yes, you paralleled the two, but only by removing key information on how they differ and the current situation with online passes dying. You're just pissed a game that has a pass is getting all this GOTY praise and can't deal with it.
Sorry man, but you were right in the beginning, this is asanine.
Not trying to defend the guy or anything, but if you've seen Moviebob's other videos on Anita, well let's just say it got me to stop watching his gaming videos altogether. It wasn't just him using her as the prime example, the guy has the most blatant example of white knighting her using arguments that contradict themselves and talk down to gamers. It's one of the few times I felt insulted watching an internet video.
Yeah, I know you wouldn't Blake. You have the balls to call me out when you disagree with me. Even if you're completely wrong like Saints Row The Third.
