i also like her contstant use of buzzwords n' stuff
"marketed to STRAIGHTTTTTTTT males"
"peach however, only starred in 1 core mario game"
"shes been a playable character in ALL THE NON CORE GAMES"sdafdasd

what's always gotten me about this kind of thing in gaming is that when someone makes a good game where you can be a woman instead of essentially tits on legs (with a gun) like mass effect or fallout or something nobody brings any attention to it

like, hey, you're being respectable, and you're respecting our thoughts on the matter, but since you're being so respectable we don't have to say anything about you and only have stuff to say about the things that aren't being respectable about it, thus bringing attention to the games that aren't respectful and making it a better move (marketing wise) to just go out of your way to make a lovey tits-on-legs character

like, in addition to the whole 'love sells' axiom, the fact that the tits-on-legs character is causing such a commotion within the gaming world is enough for people to look into the game that's causing all the commotion, causing even more sales

1/4th of japanese video games in a nutshell

Isn't this the chick that made a kickstarter and then used all the money to buy like 4000 video games and the respective consoles in order to do this and talk about how females are portrayed in video games?

I thought that was another person, this was the one where people were being completely offensive about it.

EDIT: Oh wait, yeah, here's the image:

The more makeup she puts on the more she supports Feminism.

Almost everything about feminism is stupid. The whole idea of trying to balance the rights of both lovees to be equal only by piling weights on the other side of the scale with out knowing how much the other side weights is stupid and will always end into huge over speculations and due to the greediness of the human race, i wouldn't doubt the women are putting a bit extra on top of their side of demands they want filled.

The girl has done some pretty fine research on video games though.

Everything about masculinity is stupid then.

While I would agree that the whole 'damsel in distress' stuff is way too overdone and should stop, I don't agree that it should stop because it's 'loveist'.

This. It's getting sooooo boring I just want to stab myself whenever it's mentioned.

Everything about masculinity is stupid then.
You're right.

Everything about masculinity is stupid then.
is that even a real group

"shes been a playable character in ALL THE NON CORE GAMES"
Incorrect.
Princess Peach had major roles in Super Princess Peach and Super Paper Mario.

The girl has done some pretty fine research on video games though.

the majority of her research is incomplete or omitted to persuade people ..
