15 minutes isn’t enough to cover the history and it is very important to give a context.

Do they think this is some labyrinthine conundrum that mere mortal minds have difficulty comprehending? How difficult is it to understand "gamers are deluded whining babies; here are a series of amazing and pathetic examples as to why"

Perhaps you’re learning – as many have – that this multibillion dollar industry isn’t so trivial after all.

that can be used as a readymade response to p much any argument ever. Finally something good has come out of GG!

maybe he could just stand on stage and shout that particular racial epithet for a while

our favourite grant morrison cosplayer has released a 'rough cut' of the sarkeesian effect:

his erstwhile partner has released a response video longer than the video he's responding to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1bTPNdk5FI

i haven't watched either because fuck that but i did find a summary of the response video which includes this priceless line:

Jordan reveals that Aurini originally wanted to structure the doc as a buddy comedy and wanted Him and Jordan to be characters in the doc which he continually pushed for and says this is the reason why they were framed into the interviews.

The vast (vast) majority of self profesed male feminists I know are very, er, non masculine guys with high pitched voices (and a valley girl twang) that were raised by a single mom.

I think they feel bad because they arent masculine, and who hates masculinity more than feminists? These guys feel comfortable with feminists because they bash masculinity, and if they bash masculinity, they dont have to feel bad about not being masculine.

The sad thing is, not even feminists really want to sleep with them, which will only further their frustrations.

SPOILER: The big reveal of the film is apparently that Feminist Frequency's address is ... a post office box!! They tracked it down and filmed it. That is, their revelation demonstrates why people use PO boxes.

Nhex, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 20:16 (eight years ago) link

Jesus fucking Christ: An entire article about the fact that Feminist Frequency can be (legally) quite cagy about the "need" to prove their charity status to just anyone, because the forms have their home addresses on them, which ends up with "Yeah, they're legit (but the documents totally have their home addresses on them)"

So the big horrible thing they did here was use an artists' work without permission (which is what the ENTIRE youtube videogame economy is founded on) then politely remove it upon request.

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 20:53 (eight years ago) link

And not immediately provide a document with their names and addresses on it to a doxxer's friend.

it's hilarious that #gg got in such an uproar about femfreq's kickstarter raising so much money because 'who needs cash to make a series of talking heads videos' and now these two clowns are providing a masterclass in how you can raise tens of thousands of dollars but still make videos which look amateurish as fuck
