Merlynn132 2 months ago +therealnikachu Absolutely not. If you can't tell a two bit con artist from one of your own,you really need to clean up your movement before you start "suggesting" anything But maybe you're just naive and don't understand the problem. Do you know why there's so many white male characters in video games? Especially leads? Because no one cares about them A white male can be a lecherous drunk. A woman can't or it's sexist. Sexualizing women and what all. A white male can be a mentally disturbed soldier who's mind is unraveling as he walks through the hell of the modern battlefield. A woman can't or you're victimizing women and saying they're all crazy Consider Guybrush Threepwood, star of the Monkey Island series. He's weak,socially awkward,cowardly kind of a nerd,and generally the last person you'd think of to even cabin boy on a pirate ship,let alne captain one. He is abused,verbally and physically,mistreated,shunned,hated, and generally made to feel unwanted Now let's say Guybrush was a grl. Well call her Galbrush. Galbrush is weak,socially awkward, cowardly,kind of a nerd,and generally the last person you'd think of to even cabin boy on a pirate ship,let alone captain one. She is abused,verbally and physically,mistreated,shunned,hated,and generally made to feel unwanted Now,you might notice that I've given the exact same description to both of these characters. But here's where things deviate While no one cares if Guybrush takes a pounding for being,for lack of a better term,a less than ideal pirate, Galbrush will be presumed to be discriminated against because of her gender. In fact,every hardship she will endure,though exactly the same as the hardships Guybrush endured,will be considered misogyny,rather than someone being ill suited to their desired calling And that ending. She goes through ALL that trouble to help,let's call him Eli Marley,escape the evil clutches of the ghost piratess Le Chuck, it turns out he didn't even need her help and she even screwed up his plan to thwart Le Chuck. Why,it'd be a slap in the face to every woman who's ever picked up a controller. Not only is the protagonist inept,but apparently women make lousy villains tool And that's why Guybrush exists and Galbrush doesn't. Men can be comically inept halfwits,women can't. Men can be flawed, tragic human beings, women can't. And why? Because every single female character reflects all women everywhere The horrible truth is you and Sarkeesian want to craft a box into which you can force every female character into. Some idiotic "ideal". Putting aside the stupidity of exchanging one unobtainable role model for women with another,that has the added problem of making all female characters exactly the same. And when all characters are exactly the same,that's boring. And boring characters do not sell video games

sexism anita sarkeesian there’s no such thing as sexism against men. that's because sexism is prejudice + power. men are the dominant gender with power in society.

Colbert's subversive act

euphemus216 minutes ago (edited) This was, as usual, a very clever interview by Colbert. Don't focus on the interview with Sarkeesian - look at the whole show. He played "enough rope" with Sarkessian in the interview with her, and then showed her up as small and inconsequential through a "compare and contrast" with his second guest. Think about it: Colbert is a devastatingly clever individual with one of the sharpest wits around - you don't get "The Late Show" gig any other way - he could crush Sarkeesian easily BUT that would be disproportionate punishment and only feed the victimhood of Sarkeesian. So he lets her hang herself - "you want to play with the big hitters? Well, here's your chance and I'll go easy on you too" Prior to the first interview with Anita Sarkeesian, Colbert pretty much ridiculed the whole gamergate" story in the set-up - the Mrs PacMan reference was hysterical. He then let Sarkeesian do her thing (she was very cautious unusually smart for her). I loved the telling slip by Sarkeesian when she blurted out "I'm well liked. She whines about the male-only gaming status-quo, the "damsel in distress" trope "Why can't the princess save herself?", etc. and how she gets hate mail and threats. She is vague about her knowledge and work - She can't/won't name 3 video games even though Colbert had only just listed 3 in the intro! She comes off as an evasive nothing. Colbert ends by asking if he can be a feminist and Sarkeesian declares, after a simple Q&A, that he is a feminist (Park must be p----- off massively). The second and longer interview is with Prof Jill Lepore - (compare and contrast) an accomplished academic from Harvard, a serious journalist at the New Yorker, a feminist, who has just written a serious book about Wonder Woman, and is relaxed and confident with Colbert. Through the interview we discover that Wonder Woman is the third longest running superhero comic in history (only a few years behind Superman and Batman), she's not shy about her sexuality (in fact she flaunts it), she is Princess Diana and rather than the "damsel in distress it is she who saves the military man and in so doing sacrifices eternal life for herself - The princess saves herself and the man too! Wonder Woman was warmly accepted by comic fans (mainly males) only 1 year after her invention. She was invented by a MAN (a feminist) well connected to early American feminists (the founders of Planned Parenthood) This discredits Sarkeesian's assertion that pop culture enjoyed primarily by males - like comics - is a boys-only space, with all misogynists tropes, and a vehemently protected status-quo. The interview shows these early feminists were far more important and tough than Sarkeesian appears (they went on hunger strikes and were imprisoned for their efforts in comparison, poor Anita gets angry troll messages). Lapore also shows that serious early feminists weren't as uptight about female sexuality as Sarkessian's contemporaries appear to be. William Moulton Marston, who invented Wonder Woman, was involved in a polyamorous relationship with two feminists. The last exchange with Lepore echoes the final exchange with Sarkeesian and ties it off neatly: Colbert asks Lepore if she would be ok with polyamory to which she admits she would not, to which Colbert says "Well then, I'm more of a feminist than you are", to which Lepore laughs delightedly and says "Exactly!" (She could see what was going on). Colbert did a fantastic job and you should view the whole show to gain context and not focus on the single interview with Sarkeesian.
