People like her need to be banished to the corn field. Remove them from the hobby because they are poison. Like I said in another imagine if Sarkessian had been told to pound sand the first time she opened her big mouth about sexism in gaming. There is nothing weird with men wanting to see attractive women and vice versa. Now characters are amorphous blobs thanks to these weirdos

Sarkeesian’s grift found purchase in the video game industry because it was already laced with leftist sleeper agents. These people are revolutionaries first. They view their jobs primarily as ripe vectors for dissemination of leftist ideology. So the moment an “outside entity” suggests leftist reforms to your business, all of the leftists within your company will immediately leap to support the takeover. Because they were never working for you in the first place. They were always enemies inside the gates, and they’re springing to action because their true allies have finally arrived.

Yep, and it couldn't have been made more obvious than when Gamergate happened. Before that point I was already feeling like game journalists didn't represent the views of the vast majority of gamers, and then when GG happened they dropped all pretense and started directly hating on us.

They see video games as a tool to influence people. They hate us and the fact that we enjoy them. They said and continue to say it out loud that they want to change video games (to make them "better"), and publishers are helping them do it by paying developers based on review scores from gamer-hating journalists.

If you want to know why AAA games suck nowadays, now you know. Activist journalists (and now activist devs) hate gamers, and they have all the power because the majority of consumers are uninitiated retards who STILL pre-order based off of name recognition and member berries. This is also the reason so many remakes and sequels are being made instead of new and original IPs.

And you have some women who enter a hobby that is majority male and then get upset because everything is catered to male tastes.

  1. Why is the male gaze wrong?

    Why is having sexy women means that it "reduces the character to her sex appeal"? If anything, modern media has showed that most modern women if you take sex appeal away are very unlikable

    wanting to see sexy women != view women as mere sex objects

  1. men are not sexualized in the same way - not even sure what this means

    men are not oppressed => citation need it

stigma of "slut" - mostly done by women to women. The fact that she equates sexy women to sluts proves my point. Leftist women think all women sexier then them are sluts.

Video games and movies should be a reflection of human behavior in order to make them immersive but instead they are used by leftists to reshape gender roles. I doubt that is what she means though.

I think on some level it's a guilty conscience. Deep down some of these women know that their only redeeming quality is their sex appeal, but their ego can't handle accepting their own failings that lead to that.

Men aren't sexualized in the same way because the market for sexy males is miniscule, and the risk of alienating straight men who don't want to seem gay outweighs it.

Now, when I say "sexualized in the same way", I mean it - tight clothing, exposed skin, sexy animations, seductive behaviors - not just being handsome or muscled.

With that definition in mind, who actively wants to see sexualized males in a video game? At best it's gay male gamers and a minority of straight female gamers, when combined account for only a tiny fraction of the overall hardcore gamer population.

Who actively doesn't want to see sexualized males in a video game? Everyone else who doesn't want to be seen as gay, such as the majority of straight male gamers.

stigma of "slut"

I don't get why that would be a bad thing. Slutting it out devolves you as a person.

mostly done by women to women

Sadly for all the wrong reasons.

Sexy = inspires woman to make a pinspo board

Oversexualized = an average male viewer said "hot"

'men are never sexualized in the same way' - confirmed for never reading a female romance novel in her entire goddamn life.

Oh, who the hell am I kidding. She probably has, and doesn't care, she's just using it as an excuse to harass and annoy men with the hope that someone finally slaps her face clean off and she finally has a taste of physical violence she can recall and masturbate too later.

Only way to stop this is to gatekeep the hobby and tell this ugly bitches to fuck off, i don't give a fuck if the hobby is filled with characters treated as nothing but sex objects because its not fucking real. Its made to appeal to its audience and if you cannot differentiate between fiction and real life than thats a you problem. For fuck sake im pissed reading this

muh double standard.

Image related again. Locks and keys are not held to the same standard. A key that opens any lock is an awesome key. A lock that opens with any key is a shitty lock.

If you're looking for a hobby away from these weirdos, try martial arts. We still have card girls and these weirdos never last long enough to make an impact in the hobby.

These animals will not go away unless they are eradicated, we should stop being pussies about it and consider extralegal options against our corrupt governments.

If the government is not corrupt, then we should just mass protest with demands that they begin the extermination of our enemies.

Got any sources that prove a link to these "real life consequences"? The same sources that show a link between videogames and violence surely...what a dumb cunt

Just call them a tourist and be done. Like an IRL tourist they only go somewhere because it is popular and easily accessible but in the process ruin it for everyone who lives there.

This is feminist science and have been completely accepted by both conservatives and liberals alike.

Easy, conservatives agree with feminists about portrayal of sexy women. Conservatives want men back on the plantation. Notice the same opposition comes from conservatives years ago against pretty much the same things feminists hate. Video games, porn etc etc.

The only thing that differs is the rationale. Feminists hate men so anything that gives anything good to men is to be vilified. Conservatives want men to serve / sacrifice so anything that distracts men from doing that is to be villified.

"Women are sexualized, men are not"

I think this is part of the NPC hard coded language at this point. I've heard it for about 20 years now. If men aren't sexualized the same way as women, why are there so many 1% body fat bare chested men in media? Oh that's right, it's different for women for some reason.

Men are sexualized, as are women.

Sex sells. Congratulations, you understand a very basic concept incredibly slanted toward weasel word-isms.

If there were strict gender roles, we wouldn't be tolerating the alphabet mafia and it's million and one genders.

You'd be forced to be a man or a woman. And that's it. Or you'd be a shunned nut case with a mental problem. I mean, more than you are.

I heard a theory on why society looks down on sluts but praises promiscuous men, and I think it makes a lot of sense.

It's because it's very easy for women to get laid. All they have to do is not be extremely fat, and even then it's much easier for fat women than it is fat men. In most cases, they just have to ask.

Men have to have some combination of being funny, being rich, having good looks, and/or being very fit. Sometimes just one attribute is enough if it is an extreme outlier. Sometimes it is just persistence (taking the shotgun approach of asking everyone will eventually get you laid).

Many of these characteristics are hard to obtain and take a lot of work or a lot of luck, and that's exactly why it's seen as less disreputable than it is for women. We don't praise or respect people for doing easy things, we praise when people do hard things.

Why is it like this? Because men are more motivated by sex than women are. They like to pretend that is not the case, but how could women possibly know what it feels like to be a man or vice versa? All we can do is look at the evidence, and the evidence shows that men are obviously hornier, and generally have lower standards.
