I'm afraid the real issue here is the usual "Damned if you do, damned if you don't issue" relatively common with most of the "cultural studies".
QuoteWhat? What's "high-level bitching"?
This high-level bitching is useless, sterile and can't be use in order to rationnaly solve any gender issue.
QuoteHas anyone ever said this? Or are you just coming up with imaginary scenarios because they fit your theory? Can you link to a feminist/gender theory debater who said these things?
- Mario didn't give a damn ? It showed how we tacitely agree with violence against women ! (Patriarchy)
- Peach saves Mario ? Despiction of Women as slave/male'tool ! (Patriarchy)
- Princess Peach didn't give a damn ? It's the bad vamp/bitch trope ! (Patriarchy)
- They both save Luigi in a cooperative mode ? They kill poor throopas in a violent game !(Patriarchy)
Quote from: Monkey_05_06Except that in this case, the comment section became a breeding ground for bullies to encourage each other to come up the worst possible threats. Such mob mentality is better nipped in the bud.
I second the notion that the exposure to these comments would do more to reinforce her point than the detriment done by closing them off and appearing completely closed-minded. Preventing feedback, valid and viable or not, seems to me an equally aggressive tactic to those posting the trollish comments in the first place.

The AGS community is open-minded? lol, funny.
As egotistical as I am, I'm not ashamed to admit that I believe most people fall somewhere below "imbecile" on the intellectual scale.
I spend a lot of time on self-evaluation, and any debate I enter, I do so knowing not just where I stand, but why I stand there. Most people don't do this.

In fact, reading this made me realize what I was really trying to say, but I was perhaps a little afraid of being sexist myself. I mean, I acknowledge the complaints that are being made about the women, and how they may be viewed as gullible in these commercials, but I actually think that the men are portrayed in a more negative light. The only problem is that there is no overt indication that the men are the bad guys here. In fact, the men get away with their deplorable behaviors. I think that is why the ad is viewed as more negative to women, because women are the ones who are suffering the consequences.
I would've preferred to see the Twix commercial done this way: at the end, after she kisses him, he should've hung his head and said "I'm sorry, I was goggling", as she passes him the baby she says "I know".
QuoteDo something constructive instead of whining! Create a game of your own, dammit!

I meant that I have no issue playing as the female character in a game like Hunted, just to stare at her ass on every cutscene that she lifts a door, while she walks sideways between tight areas, or ducks under stuff. Do I want EVERY game to be like this? No. Heck no. But I certainly enjoyed the extra bonus of seeing that beautiful character doing provocative poses and such; so no, I never felt it was a bad thing at all, that a game developer made a game with sexual interest in mind.

Whether you agree with Anita or not, her decision to disable comments on her videos after being publicly funded to make them was/is a pretty 'meh' thing to do. Telling people how it is and closing off any chance of a debate is not the logical nor the mature way forward imo.
