Thunderf00t/Criticism of Tropes vs. Women
This is a rebuttal to some of Thunderf00t's criticisms of the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games by Anita Sarkeesian, starting from his first response video "Feminism versus FACTS"[1] and continuing on from there.
If you look at it from the perspective that women only care about what benefits women and women hate what benefits men, it begins to make more sense.
Ask yourself. Are men benefiting more than women? If the answer is yes, then women don't like it. Ask yourself, are women benefiting more than men? If the answer is yes then women are fine with it.
Exactly.
Women love exploitative industries built on parasocial relationships, but they hate the traditional porn industry.
The reason for that is because the former allows a higher yield per simp than working for a site and getting paid a capped fee per video.
Traditional Porn: Female actors get paid peanuts to engage in physical sex. Porn producers (mostly men) get paid lots of money. Male consumers get porn for free or if they are willing to pay for it, usually at reasonably cheap prices more-or-less.
This creates a difficult issue for women and why women are so split on the issue. Female workers are getting paid, but men are benefiting more from the work women are doing than women since the producers are men and the consumers are men who are getting a cheap product.
Onlyfans: Female actors get paid lots of money to engage in virtual sex. Male consumers get porn for an absurd price.
This is why women are generally all in agreement that onlyfans are good. Men are getting a pitiful product while women reap high rewards.
Sexualization of women in video games: Male consumers get what they want at no additional cost because the video game was going to cost the same regardless. Since men are getting what they want from the video game, this reduces the demand for things like porn and onlyfans; therefore, it's a net loss for women as a whole and women are gaining nothing from it. It's in women's interests to attack sexualized video game women at all costs.
Well, all men like sexualized women. A woman who isn't sexualized is worthless to men so if the woman is drawn to be as men like she's going to be sexualized.
Rationalwiki just makes me laugh. It's like Encyclopedia Dramatica except they themselves don't yet realize they're a joke.
the logic is women sucking dicks for money == empowerment
men drawing sexy women == objectification
That's basically the capitalist version of Marxism AKA progressivism.
Women drawing sexy women also == objectification
Also also, the woman sucking the dick for money is empowered, but the owner of the dick is exploiting and objectifying her.
Its the biggest projection. Its women who always have sex on their minds. Men sometimes do but also sometimes are focused on a higher purpose. Women don't believe in a higher purpose beyond their "happiness" and immediate gratification.
These people subscribe to cultivation theory, a theory which entails that sexualized depictions of women in media (such as video games and anime) contribute to men seeing women as sex objects in society. But then the same people applaud onlyfans girls, instagram models, sex work, sexualized female rappers like cardi b or nicki manaj, or camwhores. It doesnt make sense since those things include sexualized depictions of women as well (so therefore should be harmful to women too). They only apply cultivation theory to certain things, while discarding it with other pieces of media.
I find it funny kpop got so big, like, teens gravitate to that kind of femininity. If american media is pozzed they just go look somewhere else
