Wow, what spectacular arseholes.
Seriously those responses are some of the most meanspirited and entitled misogynistic crap I have read in a long time and no there is no justifying that. I don't care if people think she's being 'inflammatory' there is no justifying that, and I don't care if people are just being 'defensive' either. When your response is to literally shout things like 'this ***** makes my dick soft' or 'women don't belong in games' or 'women aren't interesting' or any number of misogynistic slurs you officially lose any right to sympathy because you have shown yourself to be a whiny insecure man child misogynist and Sarkeesian did not not do anything to make you that way, YOU did that to YOURSELF!
As for the idea that Sarkeesian said something inflammatory? Really? Considering all the negative hate surrounding the Xbox One and all the vitriol and angry rants I'm really supposed to believe that 'there are no female protagonists' was so shocking and horrifying and offensive that it warranted people responding like, well, this?
Fuck no, I don't buy that. I don't buy that the idea of a lack of female protagonists being the latest in a long fucking line of angry complaints (as well as said lack of female protagonists being as valid as any of the other complaints)is suddenly the big shocking horrible incendiary remark that the evil Sarkeesian made to these poor innocent little boys who are just so scared and defensive.
Bullshit, this reminds me a lot of the weak ass justifications people used in the Steubenville rape case and while I would never compare the two because of the difference in severity the same still remains, people desperately trying to blame someone else, anyone else for something completely un-defendable that these little shits did themselves.
Anita did not put those words in their mouths nor did she make them carry that kind of hateful attitude around with them, they did it themselves and while I'm not going to say everything Sarkeesian does is without deserving criticism (I'm not going to argue anything about her points at all because that's not my focus) I will say that there is no way, in my mind, that you can blame her for this. She did nothing even close to warranting such a harsh response and the people who acted like self righteous inbred cavemen have only themselves to blame.
This attitude is shitty, it is reprhensible and it cannot be defended and no matter how much bullshitting people may do there is no version of this where that changes.
EDIT: To be clear I'm talking about the twitter responses in the link, not anyone in this thread necessarily. Just thought I would say that now in case a really ugly misunderstanding occurs.
1. Welcome to the fucking internet.
2. First rule of the internet. Don't feed the fucking trolls.
3. Everyone will say anything online because they can without punishment.
4. Taking anything, anyone on the internet for 100% truth is stupid
Either Anita is the dumbest person on earth, or she is the smartest person on earth. Which I vote for dumbest because she herself is sexist and has no meaning of the word "context.". What does she expect from youtube and twitter? HAS SHE SEE YOUTUBE AND TWITTER POSTS BEFORE SHE JOINED THEM? Did she really expect people from these two websites to have any real logical thoughts? Even when someone does have logical debates against she refuses to answer and shoves them aside.
Anita acts like she is some special victim/target of hate just because she is a women. She is a target of hate and anger because she is a person on youtube claiming something is sexist because she doesn't understand *context*.
Seriously watch some of her youtubes videos some time. She turned a loving romantic song into something that's supposedly "sexist".
So until Anita learns context, meaning, and learn just because she says it that way that doesn't mean she is right. I will continue to bash on her. (Intelligently at least.)
But all the jokes about her being in the kitchen, kitchen video games, etc. Is pointed at her just to get her angry which she is buying into it all the time. She acts like these people are REALLY SEXIST when they are just insulting her out of anger. (Which we ALL do.)
If I said a sexist joke. Does that make me sexist? Nope.
In Anita's eyes it is.
Why?
She has no understanding of my favorite context!
PS.
I have a feeling any time Anita will open her mouth people will just insult her, because you know. She is a complete idiot and has no concept of ... context.
So ANYTHING she does will probably negative impact even if she was *ever right* which will never, ever happen in a 1000 years.
My bones will probably turn into dust and mix with the ground before Anita is ever right on anything."
P.S.S
I'm just waiting for her to say Game of Thrones is sexist. I am surprise she hasn't yet to be honest. But when she does. I am going after her blood. Because if she says ANY federal setting is sexist. I am just going to out right kill her for her stupidity.
I always told my grandmother I wanted my job to be a person who stands on news station holding up a "NO SHIT" sign every time they say something silly.
Obama crying for the death of children?
NO SHIT.
Why is this even news?
I get it would be news if he was laughing about it, but not crying about it.
