    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    I agree with almost everything you said. I brought up feminism because it's the thread topic, and yeah, the links and advice about game making are for everyone. To summarize for those who skipped passed mountainous walls of text: I don't excuse the problems developers face when trying to...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    I would like to thank you sincerely for your insight into the female perspective. You've helped me to bridge the gap I was grappling with in trying to come to grips with why females are under represented in the game industry. I've been pushing for more female inclusion, and insisting that...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    Until men can have babies there will be no equality! No. This is silly. You're making a bunch of assumptions about the motives. We don't make any assumption without evidence. We don't have to provide evidence there is no sexism. Seriously. If you claim there is something, say sexism, then...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    These are just weasel words. What is the social construct of masculinity? What evidence supports the assumption that there is a social construct of masculinity? I'm not seeing any evidence to support the existence of a social construct of masculinity. It seems we're in agreement that it's...

    Can We Just Use Friendzone to Describe a Situation, Please?

    So... We're supposed to blame some nebulous social construct for attaching sexist connotations to a word that is gender neutral. I can agree with that, however, I think you wrongly blame Language. It's clearly not Language's fault, the term itself means: Friendship based on unreturned romantic...

    That aggression is a male trait: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism#Men_and_masculinity Feminism is debunked because it assumes masculinity is associated with aggression and competition. The opposite is true. Women are just as aggressive as men, or even more so than men...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    I did read the responses. As expected, there are correct assessments that what I was saying were logically fallacious and flawed unprovable conjecture. This is due to the biggest problem of all: The foundation for and against all the arguments is moot if the core assumption is unproven...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    Hmm. So, it's not privileged behavior for women to desire to be heard, but it is privileged behavior for men to desire to be heard? This seems to be gender bias. I am human. I think my ideas have just as much right to be considered as yours. You did not respond to any of my criticism, you...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    I apologize for not taking time to reply to quote pyramids about my common observations that feminists themselves say exist and speak out against, especially when debating feminism... I don't have the time for this non-sense. Let's cut straight to the heart of the matter, or top of the...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    You deny my statement as true. I've had a handful of serious relationships, and have two children. Your Ad Hominem attack is not compelling in the least. You take offense to my statements and list counter points, then shut down the discussion. That does not prove your point. I stated...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    If you choose to label this Patriarchy and not Matriarchy, despite the fact that -- contrary to our closest evolutionary relatives -- the human female body specifically evolved to not signal the race to her time of ovulation, which makes it harder to tell when an impregnation can be best...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    Doesn't change the fact that there's no reason to actually call it Feminism then. We already have a movement that needlessly applies gender specifics to things that should be neutral: SEXISM Yes? Do go on? No, I'm not trying to be clever. Throbbing ego went off on a tirade as to why...

    The opposite of feminism in gaming?

    Ah you see. Now you're being sexist, that or you're agreeing that Feminism isn't about equality. Why can't Masculinism be about equality of men? You've demonized the term or at least said it's less useful even though it could seek to achieve the exact same goals as Feminism purports to...

    E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Dump Faces Excavation

    I played the game when I was a kid, but I thought it was just me -- and my friends -- who sucked at the game. Only later did I find out the true story of the game that could not be played... I think excavating the games is a good thing. We should have the bits re-assembled. Some should be...

    Shadow of the Eternals Kickstarter Failure Could Kill Game

    I just want to say thanks for aggregating! I don't have enough time to delve into everything always, and I love lenses that selectively magnify interesting bits, yet give the option to see everything for myself if warranted. You saved me time, and thus money. Thanks!
