8 Things Anita Sarkeesian Wants To Change About Video Games

How they hell is she still allowed to "Lecture".

As always the biggest problem with Feminism is they ignore pretty much everything about the other gender. Of these two which is more realistic?

I am saddened that Samus Aran will have to wear more armor since hers is too lacy and skimpy...
 
No freaking way...wow. I knew Asian markets like Japanese want to be more like Western people in appearance and style but..damn...
It's very true. Skin whiteners are in almost all sun lotions there, and they don't even go outside!
 
Anita is doing this all wrong. She's in the wrong country to begin with in regards to sexualized females in games industry. She needs to take the fight oversea's to Namco, Tecmo and Capcom, those damn sexist Japanese game makers. :D

So she wants Honey Boo Boo, Mildred (the Hispanic maid that Arnold Schwarzenegger had an affair with) and Oprah, dressed in 90's flannel and JNCO's, to rescue Gabe Newell from the evil clutches of Bruce Jenner?
Excuse me while I go produce this multi-million selling hit.
 
What's not safe for work? I'm seen worse on the 12:30 entertainment weekly rerun or w/e the hell its called at work on network tv.
 
and if she were to see this she'd completely ignore the fact that you can do the same mod with guys as well.

Omfg, I really wish I haven't viewed that in the bus just now cause I got some weird looks from loling at that

Fooos roooo veeegan! :D
 
dose she not realize the cardinal rule for female armor less is more the chain mail bikini is equal to a male set of plate armor...

and how are we supposed to tell if the ogre is a female if they are not wearing a bikini...

Which begs the question I've wondered for years, why the fuck do non human bipedal species in games always need "mammal" beasts?

are you trying to tell me lizards don't nurture their young with large succulent bosoms?

I'd say it's probably for people to be more able to identify with it and it's more readily identifiable by others.

The problem really isn't Anita, she's just in it to make money. She has even said, she doesn't play video games.

The problem are the Anita supporters that give her a platform. These are the generally overweight angry-at-the-world frumpy white women who call themselves "feminists" and the few fedora wearing beta neckbeards that so desperately seek female companionship that they will emasculate themselves and white knight in the off chance they might get some out of it.

And what they fail to realize is the entire concept that its OK to cater towards the wants of your market. There are a crapton of chick-flicks available that would make any self-respecting man want to gouge his eyes out rather than watch, and there are a myriad of magazines on the shelf at stores that specifically cater towards women. Men aren't supposed to read Cosmopolitan or Glamour or Vogue because *gasp* THEY AREN'T THE F'NG TARGET MARKET!

Likewise, there are magazines that are catering towards a primarily male audience, and that's great. There are games out there that are marketed to just about any tastes you can imagine. That's a good thing.

We don't need to change women's magazines to be more inclusive of men, nor should we be concerned if there aren't as many equivalent guy magazines as women, if reading mags just happens to be a passtime that more women than men enjoy. Nothing is BROKEN or needs FIXING, and in fact changing those women's magazines to be gender-neutral would probably piss women off and degrade the entertainment they derive from it.

i dont know why the lizard girl needs them but the cat girl is missing 2-4 of them but i suppose if they evolved a as a species to carry only 1-2 offspring per pregnancy then the 2 makes sense. General rule for mammal reproduction twice as many mammary outlets as the litter size average so cats have 6 they typically have 4 kittens.

And they need mammal breasts BECAUSE THEY ARE MAMMALS the lizard only makes sense if they have changed to live bearing mammals. As for why they are on the game character it is so we can differentiate the males from females.

Breasts exist for reproductive means as a natural way to produce a food for the offspring in the initial months to years of life before they move onto solid foods...
 
You could literally replace female with male in any of those. How many guys look like the typical male game character?
 
No freaking way...wow. I knew Asian markets like Japanese want to be more like Western people in appearance and style but..damn...

Actually it's that the Asian market likes things to be more cartoony. Different cultural different expectations. Gaijn Goomba did a video on this. There's very few western games that depict woman sexually today. Lollipop Chainsaw for example is not American made. Suda 51 made the game, which has a lot of similarities to their previous games. Lollipop Chainsaw was their more Americanized version?

One could argue there's not enough female main heroin characters in games today. Probably because anything they do can become sexual. Look at the stupid crap that happened with Spider-Woman and how the feminists jumped out saying how SpiderMan would never pose like that. Except he has and it was a famous cover for a comic. So in a way a female heroin is harder to appeal than a male hero. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Nobody will bat an eye for this guy showing his chest.

I'm but you know what, lizards and cats don't have human female type beasts in the wild and lizards arnt mammals to begin with
 
Guys, I think I know the type of female look will pass Anita's test. Subo.

That's right, just make all the women in games look like Susan Boyle or worse, then Anita won't be forced to look at anything prettier than herself and get insecure.
 
Nothing wrong with those 8 points. I didn't realise so many YouTube commenters were also HardForum members.

Nope, still won't work. Susan has a lot more natural talent as a singer then Anita will as a natural bitching complainer, so she will still feel insecure

Then label it as "female" in the game or in game manual, why the fuck does it have to a dark nightmare twists of furries fantasyies? Cause I sure don't get a hard on seeing scaley tits on a lizard standing up
 
People have to stop feeding this attention seeking troll.... What has this world come to they are inviting her to speak at Universities?

Speak for yourself. I'd love an orgie with a lizard tongued ho, a Avatar smurph, Chiana from Farscape, and maybe Asari from ME for good measure. :D

Variety is the spice of life, mang. Although granted none of the females in that skyrim example are sexy IMO.
 
totalbiscuit makes more sense than anita, when he countered her issue in games where females in her opinion were denigrated, or not represented enough.....

i did give her opinions some reasonable doubt, but in the end i do agree with biscuit that games should not be politicized ......

heck who here hasn't played wolfenstein, and theres a bunch of nazi elements in it X_X:

Even in the famous counter strike game it's a counter terrorists versus terrorists ......

so if we start following anita's logic, then we'd have to start censoring movies as well that are based on fiction. So no swordfish movies, or even ones like starship troopers ....... :rolleyes:


And as for gamergate, is a totally separate issue that has nothing to do with misogny, despite what anita, zoey quinn and their club of collaborators keeps persisting is the case :rolleyes: as they try to sidestep the real issues which gamergate had brought to light e.g. how gaming reviews and articles may have less journalistic integrity than many had thought previously, and needs to be corrected
 
Oh gosh ... please our games alone. That is the last place we have the woman the way we want :) ...
 
what is this bullshit.
why the high maintenance?

Have female characters of various body types

We men don't ask for male characters of various body types. We are fine with the meat heads they make us play with.
so why is she making a big deal of it...
 
Video games are work of fiction, especially in one where you have dragons and magics. They are not meant to be realistic. I don't play these games and ponder about the physics of body armor. Gaming experience are meant to be pleasant, so of course the characters have to be good looking. Who the heck wants to stare at a jabba the hutt.

As far as changes go, one I'd like to see is where the entire gaming community stop giving that psychotic woman any more attention.;)
 
Maybe she should STFU and make her own game.

Yes, she needs to STFU.... but for all that is holy in gaming, I say NO to her making her own game!

If anything, the fact that her game probably wouldn't sell well may give her more ammunition for her next tirade.

^ So much this! ^

I think that's what people like Anita are missing.... the point of a game for many people (like me) is to have an escape from reality. The last thing I need is her dragging reality into my fantasy.
