Good job feminism. Go to 5:45 for his actual argument after he talks about stealing videos.

    protip: the people who get mad and make hour long videos about things Sarkeesian says in the Tropes vs Video Games series are the kind of simpletons who go into Hulk mode whenever somebody mentions the word feminism. You'd do well to ignore them. The biggest valid criticism that can be made of Sarkeesian's video series is that most of the stuff she says is really obvious.

    • While I don't care for her videos, the misogynistic nerd tears they cause are delicious.

    • There is [i]some[/i] legitimate criticism that she doesn't play many of the games she is talking about, so she does, sometimes, takes things out of context. Regardless, to say that this trope isn't very common in our entertainment is pretty stupid. I personally find its existence rather obvious and we should probably stray away from it, simply for the sake of variety, even if you don't agree with all the feminist views on the matter.

    • I like the part where she brings up points, but doesn't provide any arguments. This is a VERY common tactic for bullshit artists who want to sound like they know what they are talking about. They bring up a subject, but don't actually elaborate or explain how they feel or even explain why its good/bad.

        • No one takes feminism seriously on the internet. You do good to ignore her in the first place.

        • I'm SICK of seeing these "refuting Sarkeesian" videos cropping up again and again. Like Seggi said, the only major flaw in her videos is that her arguments should be obvious to anyone who has even moderate experience with video games, though even that does not render them irrelevant - they serve to raise awareness of such issues to non-gamers. If a black dude made a series called "Racist Tropes in Video Games", he would not recieve ANYTHING like this level of hate; in fact, I imagine that most gamers would support him. Anyone who seriously thinks that mainstream videogames don't oversexualise female characters or marginalise them to "love interest" roles is straight-up WRONG. And yes, I'm actually really -blam!-ing angry, because the responses to her videos, calling her out on particular examples of games that she didn't quite portray fairly or for using other people's videos or other techincalities, (as if those things somehow invalidate her arguments), as well as the threats of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Sarkeesian#Reaction]-blam!-[/url] and [url=http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1310682]other violence[/url] against her only serve to perpetuate the image of gamers as misogynstic basement dwelling troglodytes (which, unfortunately, many are).

          • I don't think she realizes that most gamers are male. A lot of male gamers, myself included would love to have the powers and go on a great adventure to save the one we love. Since the majority of gamers are male the market caters to this because -blam!-ing money.

                  • Step 1: Try to understand feminism. Step 2: Realize that the nit-pickery in these vacuous "refute sarkesian" videos don't refute anything. Step 3: If step 2 failed, go back to step 1 again.

                        Well duh. She uses videos without permission from the owner, doesn't do any ACTUAL research (look at her Bayonetta review and try not to laugh/cry/rage), supports double standards as long as they're good for women, and took THIS LONG to deliver on the FIRST -blam!-ING PART of a project that she got thousands of dollars to make months ago. Anita Sarkesian is the greatest con artist of our generation capitalizing on our victim culture of "social justice" as well as the lack of knowledge that the masses have about video games.

                          why does she need to play the game to criticize them? also, I watched old westerns with my grandfather, and have never seen the whole "tying women to the railroad" thang

                          I'll put it plain and simple, the problem with feminism is that there is nothing they can do to change their image at this point; a rose by any other name would actually smell an awful lot sweeter, and it only takes a simple name change to go from the titanic to something that isn't at the bottom of the ocean; so please feminists, stop calling yourselves feminists, and for the love of god get some good PR people.

                        • You know in her most recent video, I have this to say yet again. She is obviously pretending that metroid DOESN'T EXIST. She clearly wants a video game with a female protagonist on an adventure what doesn't include a damsel of any kind, male or female. Sounds like Metroid to me.
