I don't even understand what the forget this entire scandal thing is. All I know is that both sides of this argument are kinda dumb. I agree that women can be portrayed a bit to the extreme or in a negative light, but why make this huge argument about it? How is Jack Thompson in all of this? Instead of bickering about video games, why don't you just go play them instead? They were meant to have fun, no to end up turning into a huge douche over.

EDIT: Jack Thompson reminds me of John Stewart for some reason.

This is the website of the book that contains the information. The book itself references several scientific studies, which I can post here when I arrive home and have the book in hand.

Another reference (it doesn't talk specifically about games, but it does discuss Pattern Theory, which is exactly what I'm discussing): http://www.csee.wvu.edu/~xinl/courses/ee565/MumfordICM2002.pdf

It's because Zoe Quinn was doing shady stuff to get her game noticed, and people are now wanting more ethnics in sites like Koaku and the sort.
The reason it turned into something about feminism is because Zoe Quinn happened to be a feminist, so she used mysoginniy as a distraction.

Let me guess, is she the misandry kind of feminist? I get so confused when people throw the word feminist around. Do they mean a feminist that wants equal rights for both lovees or a hateful feminational socialist?

The thing is that they call themselves feminists, whether they believe in equal rights or not.

Well theres two kinds of Feminists now: The Capitalist Feminists and Marxist Feminists. The Marxist Feminists are the crazy 3rd reich feminational socialist's that we keep seeing everywhere whereas the Capitalist Feminists are the ones that actually want equality.

what the hell does marxism and capitalism have to do with this. it should be the other way around anyways, marx wanted to form a completely equal society (somewhat) while capitalism encourages competition, especially with a laissez-faire policy.

[Harm94]

Are these by the book Marxists, or are they like every other dictator that writes their own version of communism and socialism?

Either way Fascists and Communists are some of the dumbest people to walk to the earth.

If you were for equal rights, you wouldn't be a feminist. You would be an egalitarian.
A feminist is only female rights, not equal for everyone rights.

im like 90% sure thats false.

I consider myself an egalitarian because of the stigma associated with feminism
