Steampunk Feminists Vs. Zombies

[draythefingerless]

ehhhh lose the zombies. but a steampunk feminine team? would work as an RPG, 3rd person shooting and melee, would work good.

Ha ha. Morons are the biggest consumists, true fact

please please please please make a wallpaper of that first frame.

I'm not one to "this", but thiiiiiiiiiiiis.

Seriously, that drawing is awesome and we need it with as big a resolution as possible. I will make it fit my monitor. I will get a bigger monitor if I have to.

Ya, funny that. A cynical person may suspect those who bombed her, or at least started the bombing, as being plants.

I'll tell you what's funnier. I've become increasingly cynical and jaded with a rather depressingly pessimistic view on life and Humanity in general.. and I wouldn't have pegged those as plants.

Probably cause I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I guess.

OT: I actually did think this was a real game. I don't know if I'd want to play it, but I certainly loved the concept artwork he did, and I do agree that it kind of overshadowed the intended joke.

I don't visit Kickstarter much, only ever went there because of the Double Fine Adventure which I donated about $30 to. We get plenty of updates and it sure seems like everyone is hard at work and having a good time making something they enjoy working on. I realize this may not be the norm, but that was my impression of what Kickstarter was intended to do. Whether it is or isn't, is a matter of opinion.. or more likely people from the future who could look back and see how it turned out. *shrug*

Which is fine, I'm just following the money. It's like EA staging a protest against Dante's Inferno. I do believe most after the uproar got started are real, but for $158,917 and notoriety some people would be willing to break their own leg.

You missed a word, it should have been "Feminist Nazis vs Steampunk Zombies."

Haha so hilarious. Those feminists eh? Wanting equal treatment and all, aren't they just like nazis.

Grow the fuck up.

I think he just meant that the guys in the strip could add another "keyword", to stir up the controversy, helping the game to get more money (that was the point of the fake game title, I think).

Not to necessarily speak on the person's behalf, but I'm pretty sure they were making a joke. No need to get seriously mad about it.

Anyways, as for the comic: As someone said, I'm getting some serious Suckerpunch vibes from the concept art (well done BTW, I was confused when I saw it in the main page carousel and thought it was an actual game concept), which would actually deter me from donating money. Last thing we need is another Suckerpunch.

Hoe Lee Shit...wow. If you believe I was actually using a joking comment in response to a joking comic-strip to make a political statement about my thoughts on Feminists, then it's not I that needs to grow the fuck up, it's you that needs to lighten the fuck up.

Nazis are just as popular a trope as zombies and steampunk. But fine, since you're so incrediby dense, allow me to reword my joke so as not to offend your ridiculously over-amped sensibilities.

Ahem.

"You missed a word, is should have been "Feminist Zombies vs Steampunk Nazis.

"

There, are you happy now? Good fucking god, I know inflection is hard to transmit via text, but if you can't tell a joke when you see one then you must live a horrifically sad and humorless life, and for that I pity you.

Thank you, and thank you.

No, no, no! Are you perhaps implying that feminists are brainless flesh-eating monsters?!? Shame on you, sir!

XD XD XD

xD I was actually thinking about throwing something like that in. "Are you happy now? Or do you now think I'm calling Feminists a bunch of mindless drones that are devouring our society?"

And to clarify so the same person does not accuse me of the same thing, that is NOT what I think about Feminism. It's an absurd example to illustrate the absurdity of your accusation.

Show of hands:
How many people looked for a link in case this was commenting on something real?

Also this exists - The Bone Shaker by Cherie Priest is a steampunk novel with feminist undertones (it's about a widow confronting the spectre of her abusive husband and rescuing her headstrong son. By shooting Zombies. Kindof. Admittedly she gets rescued a couple of times but she's the protagonist and does her own asskicking. Also, there's a pissed off native american woman with knives whose effectively the biggest badass in the book)

Sweet. C'mon life, start imitating!

 

[zefiris]

I checked if it was real.

I'd have donated to it.

 

[JerrytheBullfrog]

She didn't really "take advantage" of anything, she started the kickstarter and got youtube comment bombed by assholes who ended up having the opposite effect they hoped to have.

How much money do you think she will spend on the project?

I'm not much of a cynic so I'm gonna say... as much as is practical, probably using the rest to either expand the project itself, speed up its time table or fund a future project along similar lines. To me Anita Sarkeesian seems pretty dedicated to her Feminist Frequency Work and in my opinion is unlikely to belittle it by taking an undue cut for herself. But hey, that's just the opinion of an enthusiastic donor who wants to see the questions she raised addressed more and more often, so perhaps I'm more than a little bit biased.

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.

::Looks at image:: I have nipple sympathy for the girl with boob belts. Imagine having tiny belts wrapped around your balls.

 

[DanDeFool]

No proper feminist would ever wear a corset. Get it right, guys!


(Would donate)

Unless she liked corsets. Cuz a real feminist wears whatever the hell she wants.

 

[dystopiaINC]

Yeah... I'd probably buy that. Although only after issuing death threats to the developers.

Also, I'm honestly, non-ironically, non-sarcastically liking those character designs.

You and me both dude.

Well to the character designs at least. =)

 

[Kapol]

Honestly, I saw this on the front page and thought it was an actual thing. Looking at it the fake kickstarter page, I thought it was for a graphic novel. Which, to be honest, seems like it could actually work and be interesting. As a game not so much.

Now you guys have to make a graphic novel with that art style about Steampunk Feminists Vs. Zombies. Tis the law of the internet.
