indomitable nth-wave feminism thread [RAPE CULTURE 101]

[Necrometer]

just don't go too far with it, since I'd hate to see you guys have your comics taken away

"What's missed by Ms. Sarkeesian, whose throat I would like to forcibly shove my cock into, is that there are real, cogent points to be made about the mistreatment and misrepresentation of women throughout all aspects of gaming."

[spacehamster]

"I cannot discern what argument it is that Ms. Sarkeesian is attempting to present concerning the sexualized display of women's dead bodies in games if she herself specifically points out that this is a common aesthetic in other media, notably in fashion advertisement. Clearly this particular phenomenon is not limited to interactive media; in fact, it is not even limited to media aimed specifically at males. Perhaps a sound beating delivered with my erect, throbbing cock firmly inserted in her anus would aid her in attaining some more clarity; waking up from a good old fashioned donkey punch has re-arranged many a synapse before."

[james]

She's constantly describing video game characters (computer-generated representations of the human form) as having been 'sexually objectified' - objectification ostensibly being a process by which a person is reduced to the status of a thing. I have a lot of gripes with the way this term has come to be used in common discourse, and I won't task any of you with them here because it's a discussion for another time; in this instance, though, it is an inherently nonsensical position because the potential victims have never been people.

You cannot deprive a nonperson of personhood; an imaginary being IS an ontological object, with no prior, current or future potential for identity, self-determination or any degree of autonomy. They are produced by and remain as denizens of fantasy, and as far as I am aware are contained permanently within this condition. It is impossible for me to actually attatch electrodes to Samus Aran's genitals and press up down up down left right A B start to burn off her clitoris to prove that she is my dungeon piggy because no matter how hard I look, I will never be able to find her; she exists within the realm of human imagination without exception. This is wholly unlike the breathing women populating our third dimension, such as Sarkeesian - who I fully plan on beating to death with a 4,000 ton Japanese imperial warship made out of barbed dildos aimed right at her fucking slut tits

and i keep seeing stuff on twitter where some of the devs of the games that she points at are like "actually that's a good point and I feel bad about it" and that's a good thing I guess. and it's also had the bizarre side effect of flushing a bunch of complete human pieces of shit into the sunlight where they can be ridiculed.

doesn't really change the fact that gluing freshmen sociology onto half-baked game "research" isn't going to enlighten even most of the people willing to be informed, much less those that need more convincing.

There is a really great thread on my Facebook regarding a certain west coast goregrind musician who got off-his-face drunk at a festival and groped some women until they pushed him off. Many excuses from friends abound. All I can think is that over the >1000 times I've been off my face drunk in my life, I've managed never to even consider doing this. He is a buddy of mine and I haven't written him off, but I certainly might depending how he handles this. I'm more appalled at the males on his friends list who think it's funny, or not a big deal. It's been interesting reading the female perspectives, a lot of anger towards the guys encouraging his behavior, a lot of understanding and support, and a lot of disappointment. But I'm really scratching my head at the guys who seriously don't see anything wrong with touching a woman's breasts without their consent.

[The Torsion]

I've groped women drunk. None of them got mad.

[riley-o]

I WONDER WHY

[The Torsion]

Roofies

[james]

okay so there's now two camps here

1. Super Mario is rape
2. Grope women drunk = NBD

[The Bill]

I don't what the big deal about Super Mario Bros. It's just an artistic representation of curing vaginal fungus. Surely feminist would like that.

Time to choose a side Jame

[copstache]

sarkeesian just posted this on twitter. see? what a useless fucking world we live in.

[Necrometer]

at least thunderfzerozerot is on the front lines fighting the good fight

[The Torsion]

If she didn't allow comments no one would watch her videos

[copstache]

key words being "as an adult"

[The Torsion]

She doesn't allow comments. The spergers are very angry about that.

Okay

"Gamers" really are the lowest form of scum second only to pedophiles. And I'm sure there's some overlap

Perhaps, but I'm thinking "Anime Fans" have them beat. I would love to see her take on that genre.

no offense bill but i think you're out of your element here.

[The Torsion]

Baiting crazy idiots on the internet with content less intellectually robust than a high school junior's civics paper doesn't make you a martyr, or a victim. It doesn't even make the idiots look any worse than before.

Fair enough. Still, it would be funny to hear the reaction from dudes that "get married" to anime characters, or defenders of tentacle porn.

Oh, yeah, threatening rape over your loyalty to Mario and Luigi is just what any man would do.

What kind of Italian are you?

[riley-o]

Have you EVER been this upset as an adult over a fucking GAME

REGULARLY. I was that fucking mad at Mario a couple times last week and stood up and finally stood up and called him a cocksucking lying fucking whore when I somehow just magically FELL between two blocks.
