Feminist Frequency's latest video. Be aware that clicking on the link gives them ad revenue.
Problems with the video abound, in her feminist interpretation of violence against women in video games. In almost all cases, the violence is portrayed as BAD, because it's an easy button to push in men's psyches. We have an innate desire to protect women, and when we see them harmed, it motivates us. It's a cheap and simple way to propel a protagonist into action.
But my main problem is with her conclusions. That this violence is "problematic" and indicative of "systemic misogyny"... blah, blah, blah. I'm reminded of the hysteria over video game violence in the 80's except now the hyseria gets a coat of lipstick.
I do think that media influences us. But I also think it's important for artists to be able to portray what they want, within legal guidelines, of course. (No kidde porn for art's sake, please)
Anita doesn't go for the legal route of controlling art, she uses the feminist tools of manipulation and guilt to portray ALL video games, and ALL video gamers as having the mentality of a 14 year old pervert who grows up to rape and abuse women. You don't hate women, do you? Then you better do what Auntie Anita tells you to.
And the cherry on the shit sundae is that after insulting gamers, and portraying them as monsters, they sling insults back at her. She gathers up these insults and parades them around as "evidence" of that misogyny. It's getting a bit old and predictable at this point. But GG Anita, you got more people to donate to you out of pity instead of having a compelling, logical, well thought out presentation. You cuntrag. (You can quote me on that.)
