If that was all the argument was then i could get on board with it, but it isn't is it? The argument is that games 'reinforce misogyny in the mind of the player' right? You either think they are harmful to people or you don't. Hiding being 'its only an opinion from a feminist perspective' is just a way of weaseling out of having to back up your claims with evidence. As for when do i hear a gator pundit say 'in my opinion'? Well I suppose spouting any rubbish is fine as long as you're just stooping to someone else's level.
What are you even talking about? She's giving feedback: of course she wants them to change. But I'd like to see where you're getting that quote. She argues that when games are full of the same negative portrayals of women in reinforces negative images of women - just as movies and tv do when they overuse sexist tropes. She thinks those images are bad and she thinks they ought to change, but again, nearly everyone who offers any kind of criticism of something wants it to change, so unless you've never complained about anything in your entire life you're a hypocrite. She isn't 'hiding' behind 'it's an opinion;' she is literally offering her opinion and giving evidence that
What exactly are you taking issue with here? It's well established that media affects self image. Watching TV raises white boys' self esteem and lowers everyone else's, for example. This is not controversial stuff. If you don't agree that it's a thing, then these videos are not for you and you should watch something else, but she shouldn't have to start every video with a Feminism 101 class just because a lot of people who are outraged that other people gave her money to make videos are watching snippets of them looking for something to be angry about.
In this case, yes. What is another way to take something away? Change it beyond recognition. No-one is attacking traditionally female pursuits like dressage, and that's actually DANGEROUS. Video games are merely a fantasy.
No-one is attacking video games either, sport. We're just saying that they've to young white men too much for too long and ought to go back to their roots of being for everyone. As this change happens there will still be games that pander to male sexuality and sensibilities: they just won't be the only game in town anymore.
You've actually convinced me that milo is probably just an opportunist, but i've decided it's pointless to argue about it since neither of us can know his motivations (we might as well argue over whether feminists are pandering to an audience) it's just pointless gossip and ad homenim attacks, we should be addressing their arguments.
The problem there is that this is an accusation that gaters love to level at their political enemies when it's clearly not true of them, and is true of some of their pro-GG heroes. It's relevant primarily in the context of showing the hypocricy of claiming that someone who had her life irrevvoccably changed by a bunch of people acting as her ex's personal army to take revenge on her over a bad breakup is 'cashing in' when said personal army is adulating people who clearly are cashing in.
Agreed, anyone can make a video/post expressing any opinion. Again, I'm not the one telling people that their favourite pass-time is 'problematic'. There are plenty of games made for girls, go to any game store and check the DS shelf. Might i also suggest many of the gender neutral games that exist such as Tetris. Why does EVERY game have to be inclusive of EVERYBODY. Again, I don't care what games you play, films you watch or anything in the privacy of your own home.
