![□ The Man Behind Feminist Frequency Anonymous 09/21/14 (Sun) 22:26:45 ID: cc9a8 No.98045 File: 141 0492 (117 MB, 1455x1500, 97:100, jmff.jpg) The nan behind Feminist Frequency A Brief History of Literally Who 2 AU This video covers a series of events. A PR agent and a passionate propagandist with very specific views about morality met and created Feminist Freqency. The video argues that the focus on sex-negative feminism and tropes of video games may come from a white man named Jonathan McIntosh. Jonathan is the producer and co-writer of Feminist Frequency This man is your ENEMY >LETS LEARN MORE ABOUT JONATHAN MCINTOSH In 2008, Jonathan McIntosh did a talk for Ars Electronica. You can watch that video on youtube. It explains how he remixes and makes propaganda out of video in order to evoke a certain feeling in the viewer. He calls it Political Remix Video You can watch the video here: https://ww youtube.com watch? 三 wp19 TnuBO He righte for CORRUPTION But what's more interesting to me is the Essay he wrote for the Ars Electronica 2008 catalog, "A New Cultural Economy". Here is the essay in it's entirety: in LMu >QUOTES: Try to think about this in terms of Feminist Frequency > The work's content is not confined to government, leaders, and elections but also focuses on critical consciousness to engage issues of media, culture, economics, race, gender, sexuality and class. The source media and materials come primarily from pre-existing mass media fragments that are captured and re-cut to create new transformed or re-framed messages. Sound familiar? > PRV [Political Remix Video] artists also mimic many of the same visual and narrative devices of the dominant media such as sensationalism, humor, irony emotional triggers and cynicism. This generates credibility for the work with the viewers because the source material is already familiar to the public and has a certain amount of built in cultural meaning... Remixers are not critiquing the form mainstream media takes (as contemporary video art has done for decades) but rather borrowing and using it as a vehicle to deliver their own subversive messages. He's basically saying that editing videos to mimic "fake" news ala Daily Show can give the viewer the illusion that the material they are watching is credible. Notice how Feminist Frequency is shot and edited like a news program. I find it amazing that he goes ahead and admits that PRV is subversion. Anyway, I recommend reading the entire essay. Because it is essentially the blueprints for femfreq Also please spread this info around. One of the biggest problems feminism has is rich white dudes speaking for women. And Jonathan is definitely another one of those problems. □ Anonymous 09/21/14 (Sun) 22:27:32 ID: 47919 No.98058](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/834/350/d51.jpg "Get a load of Johnny MacIntosh")
