If you cant 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 dont 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 cant 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 moden battlefield. A woman cant 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 alone captain one. He is abused verbally and physically, mistreated shunned hated and generally made to feel unwanted Now let's say Guybrush was a girl. We'll 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 didnt even need her help and she even screwed up his plan to thwart Le Chuck. Why,it'd be lap 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 too! And that's why Guybrush exists and Galbrush doesnt. Men can be comically inept halfwits,women cant. 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

FEMINIST MEDIA CRITICISM PROBLEMS THIS SCANTILLY CLAD FEMALE CHARACTER IS CLEARLY JUST MEANT TO BE EYE CANDY FOR MEN... BUT AM I SLUT SHAMING IN THINKING SHE SHOULD BE MORE COVERED UP? COMPLAINING ABOUT A "WOMAN WARRIOR" CHARACTER IMPLIES THAT WOMEN CAN'T BE STRONG, BUT COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT BEING ONE IMPLIES THAT "FEMININE" TRAITS ARE SOMETHING NEGATIVE BY CRITICIZING THESE FEMALE CHARACTERS, AM I HOLDING WRITERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR UNEQUAL TREATMENT OF CHARACTERS, OR IMPOSING A HIGHER STANDARD OF JUDGEMENT ON WOMEN, WHILE JUST ACCEPTING MALE CHARACTERS AS THEY ARE??? ALYSSA KOREA.TUMBLR
Never forget the guy who pulled out his d--- in front of 3 thousand feminist protestors.
translation: “The world has gone to hell. So grab one...” “Fifinka is a submissive w----, shriek Feminists.“ Fifinka is a beloved Czech comic and cartoon character, from the long running (ongoing since 1969) comic series Čtyřlístek. The add is partially a reaction to the comic’s creator, Jaroslav Němeček (who based Fifinka on his mother), receiving anonymous death threats from radical feminists. Unlike the USA, the Czech media took the creator's side, and openly condemned the feminists
