    Steampunk Feminists Vs. Zombies

    She's already bought 100 games, which accounts for the majority of the $6,000 she originally asked for. She's still working on what to use the rest of the money for, but ideas include a school curriculum course, etc.

    No, because *someone else* told them to dress that way for the benefit of a viewer, not because they chose to dress themselves that way. It could have been a woman; they are still being objectified. If the video is, as you say, about the music industry's meat grinder, why are there no men...

    I'm not sure I understand the quote, can you rephrase it? But honestly, it's true that when it comes to discussing oppression, you - and I, as a heterosexual cisgendered white man - don't have the relevant experience to discuss it as someone who is actively oppressed or marginalized by society...

    Missing the point, dude. History is history; it is the effects of said history that are still felt in the modern day that we need to be concerned about. Again, you're also missing the point. The point is not "people of color were treated terribly by white settlers and colonists for...

    I'd seen the Bayonetta video before. And sorry, but I don't see any of this supposed sex-negativitism in the Kanye video. She's criticizing a male artist for his portrayal of women as sex objects - literally objects, not even alive - as well as problematic portrayals along racial lines. The...

    I have watched her videos. I still do not see what you are talking about. Can you link me to some specific videos where you think she is anti-sex/sex-negative? Because of the ones I've seen, it's just been her against exploitation thereof. As the one making the claim that I find doubtful, the...

    ...modern history, dude. Yes, african empires used slaves. Pretty much EVERYONE in antiquity used slaves. But that has nothing to do with a history of racism and oppression in, specifically, America. I mean by your logic, we should still be angry at the Greeks or Mongolians for conquering...

    Yes, as a white male I am privileged. I know that. And I know how to fucking examine that privilege and how it shapes my worldview. You, on the other hand, don't. I have responded to every single one of your posts worth responding to and completely dismantled your ignorant arguments. You do...

    Jesus Christ almighty, are you for real? Really, really for real? You're that strapped for actual, coherent arguments against her that you've resorted to "WELL MAYBE SHE'S LYING ABOUT DOING IT"? Holy hell, I am done with your privileged ass. Don't bother responding to me, or anyone else...

    Intentionally or no, it is contributing to a campaign to silence her via getting her funding pulled and her videos flagged as terrorism, to say nothing of the direct harassment she's received herself. This is inarguable. Refer to my earlier point about power. Obama has power in that he is...

    If you're talking to me, I just didn't want to have to type out again what I'd already written, broseph.

    Thank you for this. I love the "If you don't want to be demonized..." argument. Also, link to individual Tweets by clicking on the timestamp (in this case, July 2). For example: using the Kickstarter money as promised [https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/220005905742303232]. Wait a...

    This is not being overly chivalrous, or somehow saying that women are weak and need to be protected. This is about recognizing that there has been for centuries (if not longer), a history of keeping women "in their place" via violence and the threat of violence. Calling this out for perpetuating...

    Proof? I have never seen her do this in any of the videos I have ever seen. Link me to these claims of hers, because they are well against what I understand her positions to be. I find it infinitely more likely that you are misunderstanding her claims and arguments, whether purposefully or...

    Thanks for being one of the only people in this entire thread who knows what the fuck he's (or she's) talking about btw :)
