Ok. So normally I wouldn’t do this but it seems relevant given what we’ve been discussing at the Ranch and then here over the past few pages.
This morning, for work, I wrote an article about Anita Sarkeesian going on the Colbert Report and discussing Gamergate
When the company I write for promoted the article on FB, several (male) posters commented and…I’m restraining myself from responding to them. But this is what they had to say about what Anita Sarkeesian has been talking about. (some edited for language)
#1 Who is she to tell me what kind of games I can enjoy I’m not here to play my little pony or play some chick dressed as a tomboy or in some frilly dress either. I’m all for equal women rights and all that jazz but leave my games alone I enjoy playing as a bad*** chick in metal armor with some skin showing do I expect to ever meet a women like that in real life? Heck nah I don’t think I’ll ever run into Jessica niggri and her outfits lol. But there is a difference between fantasy and real life something this chick needs to realize.
#2 I saw that interview and felt it was pretty trivial. I think this Feminism thing is going too far. There are natural biological reasons for everything and trying to undue that stuff is dangerous to our society. And I don’t think the men like it? Am I wrong?
#3 idiot (yes, that’s all it says…it just calls Anita (or me, I’m not sure since it’s my article) an idiot)
If I said I was worried about humanity right now….
