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

:p"
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.

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!

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.

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

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

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. =)

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.

Not to mention how she likes to nitpick and often when applying the feminist theory(to which is meant to be a school of thought, not an actual application to every aspect of life) applies it to everything and finds ghosts where none exist. The point of a philosophy or school of thought is meant to engage thought about the subject where the content and school of thought constantly challenges itself when approached with new situations. It's not meant to be a tool where you can damn all content through that single lens because often it will cause you to miss the bigger picture.
Agreed, and I think this is at the heart of why I dislike her videos. For example, in her Destructoid interview she criticizes Gravity Rush for its main character wearing a skirt and heels. Ironically, this same character, Kat, remarks that she enjoys dressing up that way. So this leaves us with two conclusions: either the game really is giving off subtle sexism by putting Kat in a skirt or Anita is trying to throw her opinion on fashion into her tropes argument, which like mixing oil and water.

Irony is a feminist telling girls how they should dress.

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.

That...would work.

No seriously, it's not just over the top ridiculous fun. Think about it. Punk genres generally go into advancing technology along side societal decay. The main characters are generally on the periphery of society where advancing technology has given them the ability to challenge the social norms. Don't you think that women in the Victorian era MIGHT have an interesting perspective on that? Zombies not only compliment social decay quite nicely (And the novel, "Boneshaker" already explores the idea of steampunk feminists versus zombies to an extent), but provides plenty of opportunities to explore the breaking down of gender roles and accepting other peoples differences, where it doesn't matter is the person holding the pneumatic powered rifle is black, muslim, or a woman because they just killed a zombie that was about to bite you.

Plus, you know that the thing in the back of everyone's mind during a zombie apocolypse is repopulating the human race. Talk about some interesting explorations of gender politics. Plus, steam powered zombie killing, where zombies rarely are found outside of a contemporary setting.

This is actually a really good idea.

Yeah, if you're going to try making something that looks immediately terrible, giving it awesome concept art isn't a good idea. I would absolutely play a Left 4 Dead mod of this.

I mean, if it looked more like the Strong Female Characters Kate Beaton draws sure, but right now even if it is just thoughtless buzzwords, the execution looks too good to mock.

....thank you. I really needed that laugh.

I'm glad to see there's still people with their heads screwed on right.
