Like 20+ years just fucking vanished and it sucks, to put it mildly.

People are just fucking tired of all your BS, my dude. The discussion about sexism on vidja died when you guys decided to vilify any criticism of Anita Sarkesian as 4chan misogynist.

[Boredfrom]

The few actual women have shown disparate interest in the AAA space, either they generally are less "progressive" than the burka thread like Morrigan (whose complaints tend towards lack of choices versus mandatory depiction of one style, she often seems content if she's not forced into playing a pornified bimbo) o

Being fair, she will still show disdain if a game allows you to create a bimbo, even if is not forced (there is a reason why she likes From Software games  ). And, most importantly, what she considers a highly sexualized bimbo tends to be ”anyone that is prettier than me”.

Curiously, this doesn’t apply to male characters as she has said The First Berserker Khazan has the best artwork outside From Software games.

Replies are mostly correct about not disowning anyone or mocking the guy for being a wrestling fan:

Even then I don't mind it as much because she does it in the thread about the games and mostly engages in good faith about it in those threads when she's on the losing side, going on to continue posting about the rest of the game. I will give Nepenthe similar credit for not running to a hugbox thread to bitch about whatever she wants to bitch about.

Morrigan still sucks but if they all posted like her it wouldn't be as bad. Honestly, Devo should be their goal but none of them are even half as good as she was/is. Either on the subject of feminism or just being a decent poster. And I don't say that just because Devo jointly "antagonized members" with me sometimes.

Production is insane. Musically not for me but chuds be mad so go go go.

Chuds live rent free in their heads.

I do enjoy the hate it's getting from the right, but I just didn't enjoy it outside of Gaga.

"Haha, dumbass right hating on the half time show (I only liked the part that was sung by an American in English)"

[benji]

Does anyone here get mad about stuff that progs like or hate? I think it's usually all funny, why would I get mad about things that are endlessly funny? 

MAGA/chuds are mostly the same except it's usually more straight-forward stupid, so it's less funny. The cynical covert self-deception is rarely there.

Think about how much stuff filler has posted to get Twitter to attempt to IP ban him and yet he still gets around it. Meanwhile, Jeff is so scared of getting banned from a site he willingly pays for that he self-censors this because of something he heard that you can easily see isn't true.

Wait til they discover that people also watch porn


Well... I guess not all people 

I often put porn on with the intent of an academic or analytic appreciation for it, but I cover my eyes so as not to see the objectification and fetishization of women.

[Straight Edge]

I only watch porn of marginalized women of color with large breasts.

A special fuck you to Robert Kraft tonight. Hope you choke, you weird creep.

Special side eye to all Patriots fans that stood by the team with him as owner.

Jeff retweeted himself for a tweet that was less than half an hour old. This man’s lil pooptart’s brain must be studied for future generations.

And the lack of threat from people who want to do good has made for some boldly awful people.

“Those fuckers don’t know what is good for them.” 

Bitch, you think that is a new concept? That the world never worked like that?

FAFO.  That can never turn around and be used against us, right?

Trying so hard to make out the show was amazing, and if you don’t agree you’re sus!!

It was pretty mid.

Thread is full of stuff like this

I'm a fucking fluent ny latino and I still couldn't make out everything he was saying LOL

But that is the best half-time show I've ever seen. Was choking back tears by the mid-point to the end. Beautiful, positive message and production. That really affected me in a way I haven't been in a long time.

Yeah, I'll even count the men going "Oh my wife/cousin/sister/daughter/aunt" also love gacha waifus because the story is really compelling and the OST is great so what if everyone knows it as the infamous "anime girl ass jiggling game."

And the thing is the "Well my x love this game" doesn't really work as an argument because it doesn't dismiss the criticism of other women and it ignores that you can be both a fan of a work AND also be critical of that work, hell fans of the work can be the most critical because they want the work to be better.

Like Morrigan from DarkStalkers is genuinely one of my favourite fighting game characters, she was a childhood crush, love her hair, story etc, but I'm not going to stop or begrudge any other women for not liking her or DarkStalkers because of it's objectification and hyper sexualization of her and Felicia over the years and I agree, it frustrates how flanderized she has become (to the point she gets portrayed as a rapist and killing monster (god I hate Udon comics) despite the games already stating she doesn't need to kill). I love fighting games, which is why I also push that genre the hardest for it's objectification of women because I want the genre to be better, I can love sexy characters like Manon, Anna Williams, Morrigan etc while want the genre to stop being so juvenile and allow for older women and more body types and women not sexualized.

I don't play Gacha games so my main exposure with them is from the wlw fan art community where games like Genshin and ZZZ are popular with artists and wlw fans, whether that was intentional from the devs or not, they do seem to get something out of it which I can understand. There are few women users on ERA I highly respect and think are great who enjoyed or loved Stellar Blade for gameplay reason or found the interactions between the women sweet which I also understand and honestly reminds me why I tolerated DOA's objectification for as long as I did because the gameplay was fun and the interactions between the women were genuinely fun and sweet (Mila and Tina especially in DOA5). I feel like that's a common experience for many women, especially in gaming and other similar hobbies (I've defiantly seen it with women fans of Shonen Anime do this) to find things they love in works not made for us or guilty of sexism, heavy sexualization and objectification, we sometimes we take what we can get. I don't begrudge any woman who genuinely finds something to love about these works, I wouldn't want to be shamed for my love of fighting games, I don't even begrudge women fans who do find Eve from Stellar Blade sexy, more power to them.

The thing is, at least for me, that doesn't invalidate the criticism of the games from other women (one of the reason I hate the "Well X woman liked it" defence by men, because it's an attempt to deflect criticism by trying to create and us vs them between women, that by criticizing the work, we're invalidating the women who love/like it), criticism of the games shouldn't be criticism against the women who love those games and I feel most fans of those works want more of what they love like the sweet interactions between the women characters in Stellar Blade they what they don't like or just tolerate like the objectification which many of those women fans I know are also critical of.

This is why it can be so frustrating to have these conversations in a large platform. It feels like the opinions of women and NB folks only seem to matter when they can be used to deflect criticism. We aren't a monolith so we don't all feel the same and shouldn't be expected to, so it really sucks when people prop up this or that user's opinions to push back against the others or have one person even be made an example of how we should all feel... seeing people hide behind the one person they chose as their shield is deeply frustrating too. That person's views, explanations and experiences no longer matters, it's all about whether or not they're not getting in the way of fanservice and can be used to maintain the status quo.

High Femme ruining the charade for everyone
