Fundie-Feminist gamer gets death threats

[KZN02]

I'm not gonna dignify your opinion of what lable this young lady should fall under.  BTW...you're wrong.

What I will talk about is the stupidity of this whole situation.  Really guys?  You're gonna go through all this to troll and prove her right?  Are you really this stupid?

Ironbite-morons.

This, in its entirety.  Way to prove her fucking point, assholes.

Personally, I like the rare occasions when a female character is neither insanely weak nor dressed like a porn star.  FemShep, Helga, and the more recent (moderately-sized) incarnations of Lara Croft come to mind.  "Attractive" doesn't mean "wearing a strategically-placed Band-Aid."  You can, in fact, have one without the other.

I would say Samus but then there was other M

Other M completely handled Samus in exactly the wrong direction.

Meh, I interpreted it as why Samus is a bounty hunter and not with the Galactic Federation anymore. Plus, expenses and her track record of blowing up planets and such.

It's still objectification. It makes the men seem like tools used to fight monsters, and if you die, that's because you were too weak. Plus the ones in the pictures were also scantly-clad.

That's some stretched logic there :-/

I wish we could all be a little less hasty in destroying stereotypes.  Every time a stereotype is destroyed I find it that much harder to think.

They're not nearly as scantly-clad as many the women.

Ah yes, "gamer equality" people have dismissed that claim.

$150,000

Holy fuck.

Awesome!

I seriously hope she doesn't just pocket all that extra money. No way in hell does she need $150,000 to make 14 YouTube videos. If she doesn't do anything constructive with that pile of cash, it'll end up backfiring on her and seriously hurting her cause.

I do love how butt hurt, ass mad, anal anguished, rectal ravaged, posterior punished, bum busted, derriere distressed, and fanny flustered /v/ is acting now that this has backfired on them.

See, this is why I like my game, Eudemons Online. Yes, you get morons trying to chat with you constantly, and getting ticked off and insulting if you tell them to bugger off, but you can screenshot what they said, report them to a moderator for harrassement, and then they can either get kicked from the game for a period of time, or have their ability to communicate with other players revoked for a few weeks or months.

Strangely, almost all the guys who were sexually harrassing me on that game were from Egypt...

They also have many clothing options for both male and female characters. You can choose whether you want to be more revealing or modest in the way you dress in the game.

rolls eyes why is Sheppard on there unless you mean to tell me the game is against men since Hale has a better voice.  Only person on there I might get is Kratos

And yet more of a reason as to why the project needs to happen.

Who creates those stereotypes? Men. What do they show? Men are strong, brave, smart, [insert positive trait here].

Regarding the EA thing, five bucks says that the same guy bitches about being in the friendzone and about how girls only date jerks.

[SpaceProg]

EA's NASCAR games were halfway decent... Then they dropped the ball.


Yes, more wine.

Worst Father's Day sale name ever.
