Feminist WARS: The FARCE awakens

what's that Anita sarkeesian was invited to talk at a conference on digital ethics really are we talking about the scene Anita sarkeesian who says this about piracy that said you should go out immediately and BitTorrent pirate rent buy whatever you have to do to watch Veronica Mars and the one who laments that third parties cannot flag things as harassment which means that it was Anita who saw these tweet and thought they were so offensive that they warranted flagging someone off Twitter and it couldn't have been third parties thankfully after I was initially suspended Twitter very quickly saw the light and reinstated my account look Anita let me explain why random third parties come up flag stuff for harassing someone else first and foremost it's a blank check for flagging campaigns now I know you'd like to change the rules such that the internet is just one giant echo chamber for your opinion however how are their forums allowing conversations to have it or not happen right what are all of there's so many things right we could like brainstorm a million ways that we could create these structural changes and creating structural change means people have to follow those structures and I hate to break this to you but if it does come down to this flagging war that you seem to be itching for it will be minorities and batshit crazy groups like your own brand of feminism that will be crushed and even if by some miracle you win and convince Twitter to turn itself into an echo chamber where only your particular brand of feminism will be allowed but one way that I personally deal with comments is to moderate them because I really want to create a space where people can come and engage with feminist ideas where they don't have to risk being harassed or ridiculed that's right it's a safe space where like-minded folks can hear things they already agree with from someone whose opinion they already know all you will achieve is to create an opening in the market to be filled by someone who actually does value the robust and level playing field of free speech but surely someone with such profoundly thin skin as Anita failing the teaser entitled that society treat her in her privileged fashion at least compared to everyone else would at least treat others as she expects to be treated right after all she does spend a lot of time composing her tweets sometimes I feel this like double-edged sword because I'm very careful about what I say right I'm very careful about I spent hours trying to compose a tweet like now for Anita she was quite happy to see this about the formidable Christopher Hitchens about two days after he died yeah smearing a man who's been dead for only about two days by calling my racist a sexist and a warmonger but that wouldn't be harassment now would is Anita oh but this one point out that you lied through your teeth in your video series hope that's outrageous critic sorry sorry that's outrageous harassment but all ifs warm gleams feminists actions for feminists PR problem that's gotta be hatred of women that's that's got to be misogyny good news for you and neither Hitchens will achieve more while dead than you will ever achieve by being alive if you want to get good people to do wicked things you need religion what do I mean by that I mean to say that who where they see a newborn baby arriving in their life if anyone's ever thought even myself well maybe there is something to this look at the look at the perfection of this little bundle but but they said I tell you what though before we go any further we need to get a sharp knife or stone from somewhere and start hacking away the genitalia of this little bundle because if we don't we won't be doing God's well now where it no moral person would do such a thing unless they thought it was divinely warranted is it not the case that the spread of Christianity about which you spoke so womanly and effecting me in your opening remarks attributing it to its in the NH truth of the Bible story was spread by that means or because the Emperor Constantine decided to make Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire which in your view contributed more to the spread of the faith the Holy Spirit I rest my case blaming toxic masculinity and patriarchy for a school shooting less than 24 hours after that school shooting sometimes I feel this like double edged sword because I'm very careful about what I say right I'm very careful about I spent hours trying to compose a tweet that wouldn't be offensive or harassment now would it yeah Anita you might be happy now that Twitter allows people to be offended on other people's accounts and flag them as such after all that is what you and women action and the media wanted but damn you should be careful what you wish for because don't you know that many people would regard your tweets as harassing I mean don't you think that calling someone a racist only two days after they died would be deemed as harassment by at least the relatives and don't you think that blaming a school shooting on patriarchy before the body's even cold would be deemed as harassing an offensive by the parents of those children by your lack of vision and your lust to be able to control what people are and are not allowed to say you have been petitioning for the tools of your own demise and like I say even if by some miracle you get Twitter to give you all the privileges that you think that you're entitled to you know like you have on Wikipedia yeah not a single word on there about Anita sarkeesian's dishonesty and the fact that a project raised 25 times as much money sitting needed I actually raised 25 times what I initially asked is now 2 years overdue and still hasn't produced half of the videos that it said it would not a mention of these fats on Anita sarkeesian's wiki page now even if you manage to get Twitter to view all this special treatment it will not change the fact that in your own terms you're just Jack Thompson with boobs now I take that back because that's not entirely true you're Jack Thompson on steroids with boobs because not only that they claim that video games cause violence feminist frequency writer Jonathan McIntosh on Twitter Santa for consensus is that playing violent video games increases aggression and aggressive behaviors amazing so many people are still in denial but they also believe that they cause sexism in other words viewing media that frames women as objects or sexual playthings profoundly impacts how real-life women are perceived and treated in the world around us yeah Anita rich middle class white women the most persecuted class of people in history and surely if only you had a penis then men would take you seriously oh no wait no they wouldn't cuz newsflash Anita a pad argument is a bad argument no matter how many times you tell someone you're a persecuted woman who finds everything offensive if someone sells me that I've heard their feelings I say what's the waiting to hear what your point is I've very depressed Oh in this country you can be told that's offensive as if those two stick those two words constitute an argument or comment not to me that and I'm not running for anything so I don't have to pretend to like people like when I don't this is why people like me have always argued for the open marketplace of ideas and a robust and level playing field because if you can't convince anyone in the Norina like that then there's a good chance that you're talking crap I guess this is what I'm trying to tell you you're missing the point there's no throne there is no version of this where you come out on top but back to the digital ethics is this the same Anita sarkeesian who if she was judged by her own standards would be blatantly racist and homophobic and transphobic and even normalizes white supremacy oh ye people say surely there's no way you can justify that actually using social justice warrior reasoning the whole more specifically feminist reasoning it's trivial you see you don't judge work by its content you judge it by say the number of black people in the work so when it comes down to the new Star Wars trailer full Macintosh tweet this and Anita retweets it three phases in the Star Wars trailer are those of a black man white woman and Latino man piloting an x-wing that matters more than you may think and let's take time to consider that the first trailer for the biggest most anticipated movie of the decade features zero white dudes now for me I didn't care about the gender profile of the film I was just sat there scratching my head like hang on ant all the stormtroopers meant to be clones of Jango Fett your clouds are very impressive you must be very proud so why is the stormtrooper black why is this woman so small that she can ride on Robocop two's shoulder cannon and then full Macintosh thinks that this guy is a Latino and not some white dude personally I'm surprised that they didn't tweet how the only woman in the trailer was wearing Islamic type garb and was therefore promoting the idea that women must cover up their faces to avoid being raped or something now for me I found the spoof trailers ripping on Abraham's use of lens flare and the it's a new Star Wars movie means you've got have a new novelty lightsaber type stuff are more relevant and far more entertaining yeah I know Anita come on tell us how Abraham's friends and supporters should be able to flag all of this media as harassing Abrams but whatever you get the point in social justice warrior terms you judge if a work is sexist or racist by the number of minorities in it let's look at the Nita sarkeesian's only creation you know the proposed videogame which is going to show us how to free ourselves from the stereotypes cliches and tropes in computer games by essentially a verbatim retelling of Prince of Persia the player must lead the game protagonist out of the dungeon into a tower doing so requires bypassing traps and fighting hostile swordsmen apart from it a woman in the leading role which is totally not a man with boobs trope because you know it took me a sexist trope when men do it yeah let's see no black people not even a stereotypical person of color that alone one which is a very interesting character that not beholden to stereotypes therefore racism and for those who think that's harsh let's check out Anita's criticism of True Blood no other black men and no other queer men on the main cast so he's really all we get in terms of alternative sexuality and as far as black male masculinity we see Lafayette working in the kitchen of Merlotte's but on the side he's also a prostitute and he runs his own porn website and he's a drug dealer I mean really could there be any other stereotypes thrown in here he is every stereotype about black queer men all rolled into one little pretty package and it constantly infuriates me because we don't want to reinforce these stereotypes we want to dispel them and break them down and make very interesting complicated textured characters that are beyond stereotypes but no Trueblood can't do that let's see no gay people check homophobic toe trans people check transphobic only white people in the hiya game check normalising white supremacy now I wonder if for Macintosh we'll tweet about this outrageous racism sexism transphobia homophobia in this game concept I mean it was quite happy to break down a one minute was so trailer with only three people in it a little ethnic in gender lines I wonder if he'll do the same with Anita's game concept which apart from the man with boobs lead role all are the characters are white dudes yes this regressive all-white casting must stop we need righteous people like McIntosh to lead us in condemning writers of this white supremacist crap people like anita sarkisian and jonathan mcintosh oh but let's keep going let's see promotes violence against men check man hating and promoting domestic violence normalizes the concept that the only way to deal with men is through violence institutionalizing feminist supremacy theory a whole articles let's give it the Bechdel test the Bechtel test or the mole movie measure is a type of litmus test to assess the presence of women in movies when I call it a systemic problem what I mean by this is that it's not just a few people here and there that don't like women or don't want women's stories told but that rather the entire industry is built upon creating films and movies that cater to and that are about men next time you go to the movies just ask yourself these few questions are there two or more women in it and do they have names do they talk to each other and do they talk to each other about something as enemy yes Anita's game concept would fail every single element of the Bechdel test a test which notably films like the bikini car wash company would pass with flying colors and yes this is the same test which Sweden has decided to introduce as a film rating in a bid for gender equality because you know whether it was allowed more films like the bikini car wash company that would sure be one hell of a step towards gender equality but let's see the lead character is now the fat or disabled well that's fat shaming and ableism cuz she no empathy for the special snowflakes on tumblr with head mates and other kin the lead character is not a dribbling retard programming the audience through media exposure that dribbling retards cannot say break out of jail and achieve things triple shaming and retard a phobia the main character is heteronormative Lee beautiful a purposeful effort the Institut game mechanics that undermine the confidence of ugly women and this is done exclusively to promote and maintain their privileges that this Girls Club of normatively beautiful women think they're entitled to and puts with a giant eye to head ratio doesn't need to sit there and say no I don't want the women this game to look like adults we need to pee them or face them to give them this really big I to head ratio because we need to normalize and institutionalize peed amorphic sexualization of women in this game while simultaneously portraying men with appropriate adult proportions implicitly encouraging the ageist and discriminatory concepts that a young beautiful women are more sexually valuable than all wrinkly ugly ones I should let's be real this whole game from start to finish it's just one superficial excuse to indulge in armored porn the lead character is wealthy normalizing the narrative that rich people can do whatever they and without consequences and seriously what the message is this game sending our children but all you need to do to become a rich happy white woman is violently assault and kill a load of men is that not the narrative that this videogame is promoting have you not read this book about how games become reality and influence our behavior should we not prosecute these people for the murders that they are responsible for or at least prevent them from spreading this narrative of hate speech at a minimum should we not Institute structural reform that will prevent them from proposing these hateful things and creating special change means people have to follow those structures because once we've rejected these sexist racist homophobic transphobic fat shaming retard shaming dribble shaming white supremacist bigots then we can finally have a open and more free form of gaming a more inclusive gaming community where finally once and for all no one will ever be offended if someone tells me that I've got their feelings I say well sir weddings here what your point is I've very depressed how in this country you can be told that's offensive as if those two stick those two words constitute an argument or a comment not to me they turn and I'm not running for anything so I didn't have to pretend to like people like when I don't

Pretty good video. I think that Anita and others like her are taking this way too far.
