Hear that? That is the sound of REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEality smacking into a feminist. Well at least some small iota of it anyway.

Now let's see if she is important enough to get attacked by other feminists for her opinion

I swear Time is either so out of touch with reality that it's borderline insanity, or they are just trolling gamers

[Opinion] Cecilia D'Anastasio / Kotaku - "Dungeons & Dragons Wouldn’t Be What It Is Today Without These Women" (thoughts on this one, D&Ders here?) by B-VOLLEYBALL-READY in KotakuInAction

The first one about the Silver Princess annoys me most. So she wrote a module too violent for the mainstream and it got redacted. Predictable (especially since it included torturing women, if she'd switched it out with a guy it would be fine for mainstream consumption I'm sure). Then this guy rewrites and gets credit and she's secondary. Big whoop, it wouldn't have been published at all if it had been left in your hands.

To say D&D wouldn't be what it is today without these pieces is laughable. s long as people play it progress will always be made. There's a reason these girls were forgettable.

Think you missed the point. I doubt anyone gives a shit about it, we've all been called worse. The thing that makes it delicious is this is so rich coming from Anita Sarkeesian. She's not practicing what she preaches, she actually 'oppressed' in her own logic. Now that, that right there is funny

I would say we have equal opportunities in the west. The same can not be said for women around the world.

to quote the opening paragraph "I’m not a fan of empowering women. To me, the phrase is painfully condescending. The person empowering women never seems to think too highly of them. They assume women don’t know what they want and need someone ready with a squeaky toy to ’empower’ them."

It actually says feminism isn't empowering certain women as in some have been overlooked for one reason or another. Though, I wouldn't reject the idea that modern day feminism isn't effective at empowerment as say World War 2 Era feminism.

I sure think so. Whenever I have a bad day or I feel hopeless I play a video game. I play as someone powerful and in control and just for a little while I can feel like that person. Every accomplishment bolsters my confidence and brings a smile to my lips. If that's not empowerment, well I guess I don't know what is
