Feminism in Gaming


Posted on 07/05/2013 at 08:56 AM | Filed Under Blogs

 No, not every time. Just like we shouldn't point the finger everytime because context is plays a huge part in determining what is offensive and what isn't. I probably make more sexist jokes per day than some people do in their lifetime, but those are jokes said around people I know who know I don't mean what I say. If I said those jokes to someone I've never met, then there'd be a problem. 

 Feminists should absolutely make games, and some already do. Have you heard of a game called Mainichi? It's a free game created by an ex-gaming journalist woman who also happens to be a feminist, although it's not really about feminism. You play as a transgender black woman, and you make choices and see how your day pans out, dealing with everything from the mundane things like whether to brush your teeth and risk being late, through to how you deal with being bullied and whatnot. It's a cool game :)

 I'd go: Zero Punctuation, Big Picture, Escape to the Movies, Jimquisition, and then the rest, but that's just me.

 Yeah it is just online, but online is where most geeks spend their time. It's a big part of our subculture that should not be ignored.

Is it just that he's condescending? That's understandable. He does try to make himself better than everyone else, whereas someone like Yahtzee talks down to everyone but he's also extremely self loathing and just hates everyone. I like it, but I understand why people wouldn't.

 You know if I made videos, they'd be very cynical and against people, even fans of my stuff? Doesn't mean I don't like them or am trying to bring them down, but when they do stupid shit, it needs to be addressed.

Sorry if you come off as aggressive? There was nothing in that could even remotely be perceived as aggressive. If you're over this issue, that's fine man. Still watch the video though. It's not about feminism for the most part, it's about the acceptance of geekdom into popular culture, and how we as a group that started out being persecuted have turned into persecuters. It's really interesting and well thought out stuff.

Dude. We have bigger issues to address. I have bigger issues to address. I am passionate about video games, so are some feminists. Why aren't they allowed to talk abou the problems in video games when we do it all of the time?

 I don't necessarily agree with all of her points, but she seems so goddamn inoffensive, she doesn't even seem to take a stance half the time. She's just like "This COULD be construed as sexist," and leaves it at that.

 Also, about Bob, he isn't talking about people who disagree with her, as he disagrees with a lot of her points. He's slamming the people who were against her before she even made her first video. He was against the people who violently and aggressively belittled her. And he's fucking right that dickheads like that who aren't willing to give someone a shot or aggressively try to break someone down because they disagree with some points need to be spoken down. They're like Hitler with down syndrome, that's how fucking stupidly dickish they are.

I don't remember what she looks like, except she has shortish blonde hair and glasses. I think she looks like a librarian? Oh well, she seemed awesome, so I shall text her back.
