Who cares if some people are actively making content that would offend me if I saw it?

It appears as though they look only for the mildest offence and, being too delicate to take any more than that, see it as the ultimate evil against their whole beings.

http://thoughtcatalog.com/chelsea-fagan ... ssionally/But the conversation I had with this male feminist served to remind me that, as with any movement, there are drawbacks to the culture we have created online about being socially conscious. We talked about a commercial that he found to be “incredibly sexist,†something he was writing about and railing against on social media. He showed it to me, and I told him that it didn’t bother me at all, and that I didn’t particularly see what was so sexist about it. Without directly negating my perspective or my statements, he implied that I simply wasn’t looking at it in the right way, and continued to rail against it on my behalf as a woman. Never had I felt so condescended to, so dismissed, so used for a cause that was not my own. Whatever this was, it was not for me. It was not my feminism, and the money and clicks that he received off of being offended on my behalf only served to remind me that — as a woman — I am somehow less qualified to speak on women’s issues than him.
The culture that created people like Hugo Schwyzer, or the increasingly irrelevant and embarrassing Tim Wise, is a very real one. Profiting from the rush of righteousness that people get from collectively hating things, the call-out culture that makes an ad hominem spectacle of refuting another person’s argument, and the traffic-generating machine that is constantly finding something new to be offended by, these men and others like them are able to thrive. They can make a career of seeking out the negative, displaying it and giving attention, and taking pearl-clutching offense on behalf of other human beings who very well might not agree with them. In some warped (but very real) way, they become a bigger authority on issues that are not their own than the people who actually live them. A man is able to look a woman in the eye and tell her that she is looking at something wrong because she doesn’t find it sexist.

I went to the game's Steam Greenlight Page. WHat she claims in her Twitter storm doesn't seem to be happening on Steam.
In fact, the comments are overwhelmingly postive and supportive. And this was during the supposed 'trolling period' before all the white knights came in to 'support the poor, fragile flower.'
This should be the link to Page 11 of the Greenlight comments. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... /200770535
Page 11 is where the oldest comments are (Steam game comments run from newest to oldest) made on December 4th. I got to Page 7 and found, maybe, a handful of negative comments and certainly nothing that should be 'rage inducing.' And most of the negative comments were 'I don't want to play a game about depression' or that 'I can't see how this fits into the Steam commercial marketplace as this is an 'art' game.'
As far as I can see, it's entirely fabricated. Just another Meg Lanker-Simmons. Only she hasn't, unlike SJW hero Meg, threaten anyone with a .40 caliber Glock 22...

A Glock 22, btw, holds 16 rounds if you chamber one. Being a Glock, I wouldn't do it as I wouldn't want a sudden case of Glock leg. But if you're some emotionally retarded nut-case who wants to commit 'Suicide by Cop,' after committing mass murder, it's a fine, fine weapon indeed.

I think you are correct. She only notices a problem because she's sexist. She thinks feminism (which is often defined by female feminists as simply "equality") should be all about her vag-jay-jay, and some guy is distracting from that and implying that it's possible a woman could hold sexist views. Which, as we all know, is impossible, because vaginas prevent sexist thoughts from the body. Sexist thoughts travel from society into the penis, gather in the penis and eventually travel up through the balls and into the male brain, where they are expressed via every patriarchal orifice.Darth Cynic wrote:Honestly I'm not so sure that this one is all that more level headed - although I'm only going on this excerpt - than her compatriots, or coming to some epiphany over what has really been let loose.Tribble wrote:It's kind interesting that even the 'sane' SJWs are finding out they've created a monster:
I say this because it seems to me that she only recognises a problem with her male allies. Possibly solely over what she interprets as they stealing her limelight, for daring to be more than mere cheerleaders. After the initial acknowledgment over the culture they - and I presume she speaks of women here - created, the focus shifts to primarily place all blame elsewhere. Even that, like some form of fifth column, really bad apples have insinuated themselves and are trying to co-opt the movement for their own designs and profit. There seems to be no inkling of a realisation that both men and women engage in all those negative acts she listed; her opprobrium is reserved only for men who do so.
Given the weaving in of the oppression narrative, "as a woman — I am somehow less qualified to speak on women’s issues than him," and what seems to be his breach of an ideological rule, "a man is able to look a woman in the eye and tell her that she is looking at something wrong because she doesn’t find it sexist." Well I'd wager that she's not so much aware of the monster created as she is merely bothered over the wrong sort presuming to be on some level of equality.
All of which you perhaps already noted given your subsequent mention of 'chill girls' etc., and I am merely slow on the uptake.

I did a quick search and found thisThe Two Most Inexplicable Examples of Video Game Community Harassment This Week. I can see how the proffered explanations are inexplicable. Perhaps this is a clue that they are wrong?ROBOKiTTY wrote:Giving too much credit to Sarkeesian.

More and more people are learning that encouraging or even fabricating "misogyny"-themed Internet trolling is a great way of self-promotion and attention whoring. A sucker is born every minute.
In my title I call each of these examples of harassment “inexplicable,†even though they have clear explanations: some folks are uncomfortable with a woman making video games. Some folks are uncomfortable with a perceived feminist being involved in their video games. But “inexplicable†was really my first reaction: you mean a bit of gender swapped fan art led to backers demanding that heads roll and money be refunded? That an interactive fiction game placed on Steam Greenlight would incite an internet community that apparently believes that because they have the attention of men, women can never suffer from depression?
It was both EA and DICE, and they both share the blame. EA may share the blame for releasing the buggy piece of shit, but DICE is responsible for the lousy patches and bug fixes that, in many cases, break more things than they fix. Plus, we have to blame us as consumers for putting up with the practice of "release now, patch later". You can see the sycophancy and complacency at work on the forums (battle log, etc), where people justify it by saying "releasing the game is hard work"...heckuva job, Brownie. :violin:Tribble wrote:It was EA. They've been doing this 'rush it out the door in 'beta' state' garbage for quite a while. Which is why they've been losing money on an almost continuous basis for the better part of the past decade.Badger3k wrote: If she's doing anything with Mirror's Edge 2, which will be made by DICE, it may be delayed a while. Their latest release fiasco (Battlefield 4) is so broken they supposedly stopped all other projects to try to fix it. From their responses through this affair, even if the game looked good, I'd think twice about buying it just because of the developer.
His dog is "tigger", his girlfriend is "Tiga". Hope he's good at pronunciation, or else they might get confused. Or he will. That could explain a lot... :dance:Tribble wrote:free thoughtpolice wrote:To those who have been following Avicenna on his blog; he was the victim of a break in where both he and his dog Tigger were injured by the perpetrator. Tigger was traumatized by the incident and is still exhibiting some behavior problems, as evidenced by this video I was able to find:

You're a bad, bad, bad person.... lolz...
Same difference. EA has owned DICE since 2006. The actual, official name is "EA Digital Illusions CE".Badger3k wrote: It was both EA and DICE...
