What she doesn't realize is that saying all men are loveist is in itself, loveist
she's literally the biggest hypocrite in existance

That can be said about the tribal remark too. By excluding white people from a problem that does certainly effect them, is in itself tribal.

MiracleofSound flipped a stuff last night due to those posts. Irish men flipping their stuff by the way is hilarious to watch.

Applying rational thought to anything Anita or her posse does/says will usually make them look like idiots. Just from speaking to some of her cohorts, I've learned that these sort of people feel instead of think. They will never feel they're wrong so long as they have a cause to "fight" for.

Anita doesn't give a stuff about making the gaming community fair for both lovees, she's more interested in having a soapbox to stand on, and her version of feminism makes that easy.

If Anita really wanted to change how women are seen in video games, why didn't she just make a video game?

The market's still open for games geared towards feminism, I think there's some cash to be made there.

Most feminists are just brain dead bimbos with no common sense. Anything they say should be ignored.

Because anything she made would not be fun to play, and therefore would only make her message seem more stuff.

It has to be fun before it teaches something, since there's a direct correlation that most people seem to ignore.

According to Gamasutra  games shouldn't be fun.

I'm going to go ahead and doubt that.

A bunch of richardheads on Gamasutra believe that. However, the majority of the devs who have and will post there actually give a stuff about video games.

how did you get that? she's saying that loveism and racism aren't equally spanning issues - they are issues that have been far more focused on woman and people of color. black people have faced more racism than white, and women have faced more loveism than men.

i like to quantify this issue to two suspended buckets with unequal amounts of water in each one, and one bucket is outweighing the other bucket. obviously, to make each bucket equally weighed, you have to add water to the lesser bucket so that it weighs the same as the other bucket. but, you can't add water to each bucket. you can't give equality to everyone - someone has to be prioritized.

That's how anita interprets it. She's been known to generalize people (like men and #GamerGate-er's) and this is just another example of that.

"if you want video games to be treated like art, then they have to be boring and overpriced just like real art!"
