Videogames and Feminism

Gazing is spelt wrong. This annoys me.

 

I honestly think it's harmless. I mean it's not like they are out there banning games or even censoring them that much. If they want to criticize "Gamer Culture" I don't care. I find it ridiculous. But I don't care.

There are a lot of problems with feminism today. Mostly it just feels like there are a lot of little things that are blown out of proportion and things that have nothing to do with feminism being criticized. I am all for equal rights but honestly there is so much toxicity in this community that it's just not worth it.

I mean even the people calling the people who do this out on it are ridiculous. "SJW feminazi get's totally 0wned (OMG MUST WATCH)"

Until they start taking games off the shelves for petty reasons then that's when I'll start getting angry.

I don't think anyone here is generalizing "gamers" as all being male misogynists. This level of generalization is bad, and I think we can all agree on that. I'm not sure who you're arguing against/with on this point, besides maybe those tumblrinas that you mentioned in the OP.

You were playing devil's advocate and I was responding to it. I was directing the argument at the hypothetical counterargument you were making.

I don't think the hypothetical counterargument I was making was "targeting every single gamer as being male chauvinistic bigoted pricks". I don't think it was even remotely part of my hypothetical counterargument, unless you're willing to show me otherwise.

Ohhhh I am so sorry. That "you" was a general "you". I wasn't addressing that post to you. I should've made that more clear.

I was also not addressing your counterargument solely, I was also referencing the things that the feminist Tumblr post had said or implied.

 

One day, when I was a little girl, I met him. Shigeru Miyamoto. He invited me over to his room and did very uncomfortable things to me! He touched my willy and said he wanted to pull my Master Sword! White stuff came out of me and gave him the idea for Splatoon!

I'm crying

 

Huh, I don't really remember saying that.

 

Oh. While I have your attention, I'm new and a fan of cave story. I made a account 1 week ago. How can I start here? I'm lost

So I am not a "gamer" because I don't play boring shooters like CoD?

Exactly! So many "gamers" seem to play COD for hours on end.
