Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh, the comments are very cringeworthy.

But if I wrote a women's history paper using Sarkeesian's methods I'd be torn down immediately, because her methods just aren't that good. She skips over things you really can't skip over. I'd be torn down by fellow women's historians.

It'd be like me saying American women writers were often discounted during the nineteenth century (true) and then saying incredibly influential writer Harriet Beecher Stowe doesn't count for some reason (utter bullshit).

You're allowed to criticize a fellow feminist, you know. Criticism isn't automatically bad.

This is aside from the fact that came out recently that she apparently used someone else's Let's Play video footage. I realize she never asked for that much kickstarter money, but if you have it, use it. You have the resources to make your own little video. I'm not allowed to comment on books I haven't at least familiarized myself with. She doesn't have to play entire games but she can play them a bit.

I think the issue is that Doug-and a lot of the commenters- are trying to say that sexism/representation for women in video games is a moot, and used her as some sort of evidence for completely shutting down any discussion on the topic. (Doug says "Why are you only focusing on the negative)

Well yeah. I"m arguing more with the OP.

I agree that the linked discussion is really dumb.

Honestly, though--I think gaming communities are a much bigger problem right now than video game content itself. Video game content is only getting better, albeit gradually. It's the fandoms that are getting worse.
