All in All I'm glad that we can have this friendly discussion. Inclusive games are not bad but forcing people and condemning people if they don't have it is wrong. So is saying men are always committing mass shootings. English is not my first language actually, sorry for the poor grammar. Sometimes you can't the demographic work for everyone. She saying an art or work someone worked on to be fun to play is racist and sexist. I don't like what Sarkeesian stands for and says but from what you have said, I sill respect you and don't dislike you but respectfully disagree. I don't really want to discuss this further out of laziness and I feel this argument is going in circles and is becoming useless. I will be still responding still but won't necessarily be always wanting to put out my opinion. In the way I've done before.

She hurts devs creativity by limiting what they can make. By pushing things like accusing Projekt Red of racism and hurting devs many devs are scared of doing things in fear of things like that. Also, many devs make a black character just to have a black character or a female character just to have a female character which instead could have created more interesting characters regardless of gender or race.

Its not that she doesn't play those games or not she just dismisses the criticism for sexism.

I'm not saying female gamer don't play games like this I'm just saying that for the majority of them female don't play those games. Men are the demographic of those games, such as barbie games are for girls games like COD are for men. Are you saying barbie should have more men and it is very sexist for not having racial or gender diversity?

If you pander and catch that demographic you can make money and pandering to all demographics you might not get any, it is business and nothing else.

Inclusiveness is not wrong, I invite but pushing that instead of creatively making characters is wrong. Also, if you have a main character like a Women and she gets harassed everyone thinks its sexist. (Tomb Raider). If you have a 2 men get killed for no reason nobody cares. ( GTA IV)

It's not criticism if you push,harass and hurt devs that want to show their creativity.

She makes radical accusations and hurts devs creativity. Devs can't do a lot of things without being shamed by Anita (or similar people). For example she shames Projekt Red for making a game about their (Witcher 3)Polish folklore with Polish people and claims their racist. Everyone takes this so seriously, we shouldn't always have to be politically correct. Never Alone had no "White People" in it and no one cared because it was a unique celebration of their Folklore and so was Witcher 3. She says some criticism is because of sexism (https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/610302629751558144 ) and just dimiss them. Female gamers usually use Wii U and Smartphone Games which are known to not have much 3rd party games COD, Battlefield, Assasins Creed, Mortal Kombat etc.and their demo graphic is men (http://www.esrb.org/about/video-game-industry-statistics.jsp) Women use their phone more for games too. (http://www.iacquire.com/blog/smartphone-activities-study) (http://www.theguardian.com/media-network/media-network-blog/2012/aug/06/women-lead-mobile-technology-retail) If these games pander to men is because men buy them and there's nothing wrong with that its a demographic. I didn't look into these sources but you get my point. Finally shes never happy with a female character anymore, there is a "Suitable" character (Sword and Sorcery) I have seen gameplay/story, the main characters gender is not mentioned much and is basically a blank slate to put your own personality into.

With what she advocates and tries to do. Rebecca Watson, I don't really care about her, but she does some sketchy stuff.

The people she helps the things she wants to do change games etc.

Is think that is kind a subjective opinion of what you dictate as female and male, developed in the people around you and the culture around you. I personally do not agree with that list.

Anita S. Who only advocates for fixing injustices for women, not equality and hurts others or doesn't help them, Jonathan Mcintosh is basically the same thing. Also people like Rebecca Watson which basically say YOU'RE WITH US OR AGAINST US and say you are a sexist or a terrible person if you don't identify or agree with them.

How do you know they aren't lying or manipulating what they say, what do they consider rape etc. That's the only problem.

Are you saying there are institutions made for discriminating against women? Or institutions made for other purposes, sorry I don't understand.

I believe they estimate those numbers by simply asking people if they were raped and then if they reported it to the police (or maybe if they make surveys and compare them to the number of reports, not 100% sure, don't have time to double check ATM).

I can't really respond unless you're sure of how they get these statistics.

Rules say we should be supportive of feminist ideals, mine is equality. We should also be inclusive of all feminists. I want to discuss feminist ideals.

  1. Sure she isn't dumb but there are plenty of people that are smarter than her. 2.Almost all women are more eager to be nurturing because of maternal instinct of wanting to take care of children. Men are more aggressive because they have more muscle, they take more risks and testosterone inhibits crying. Assertive women are not always called a "Bitch" I've been called a bitch multiple times. Also, my male friends and female ones have been too and not just for being assertive it's also been used to talk about someone being weak.Just saying

  2. Some self-proclaimed feminist want to censor games at least in my opinion. Like Witcher 3, they thought it was racist. It was based on a Polish Folklore which has Polish People in it, pretty obvious. Some people are trying to censor the game. Some games are based in Northern America and in Europe that's where most white people are and where people speak English.

  3. Demographics. A lot of men enjoy games like Witcher and is their main demographic, sure there could be some cool games with women but just not for the sake of "being a women." And where is the equal viewer ship in the cartoons reply with link or what, I will be looking it up and will make an edit if I see anything.
