This kind of social bullshit doesn’t belong in videogames

[SilvRav]

I have found that people often get defensive on issues if there is some truth to the allegations being made. I myself, fall victim to this.

Facts:
1. Gaming is predominately a male pass time - even though some guys pick girly avatars.
2. The majority of men have at some point or other been accused of being a sexist.
3. The majority of the accused men were guilty of said allegations but due to the "but everyone does it" mentality got away with it.

Therefore we men (me included) feel a little guilty and defensive when this topic comes-up.

The truth however is far less sinister...

The truth:
1. Men and woman are not equal, we never will be... deal with it. (not saying one is better than the other, just saying we ain't equal... cause ain't now way I can go through child birth, but at the same time woman are far to emotional and sensitive to deal with a lot of what men have to);
2. Men and woman need each other to balance the equation;
3. Pushing for gender equality is about as useful trying as bridging the income gap between the ultra poor and the ultra rich... it ain't gonna happen.

(for interest the equation is MAN + WOMAN = HAPPY. Therefore we can proof with mathematically certainty that MAN + HAPPY = - WOMAN and WOMAN + HAPPY = - MAN)

Having a closer look at these activists one usually finds they had been subjected to either:
- bad fathers, who failed as men leaving a deep seeded resentment against the rest of us;
- bad mothers, who were excessively vocal about gender inequality thus causing, you guest it, deep seeded resentment towards men.

Usually the case is a combination of both thus compounding the problem.

Now knowing this, should we not rather put our energy into being better fathers and mothers and preventing these social mishaps, instead of pointing fingers and making stupid threats.

I say let her have her rant, how many hits has this thread netted her vid and how much cash will she receive as a result of it... we all know how an AdSense account works... we are just feeding (in this instance literally) her cause.

Anyhow, just my 2 cents, let the debate continue.
Cheers

Jou vrou gaan jou moer!

Nee wat, my vrou weet hoe ek hieroor voel... ek het verskriklik baie respect vir haar en sy weet ek dink sy is awesome maar waar dit op die hele "men and woman should be equal debate" kom stem sy saam "we are not equal."

ugh..

Your maths sucks. If MAN + WOMAN = HAPPY then the correct rearrangement is MAN - HAPPY = - WOMAN, and I don't need to do the same for the other one.

you both got it wrong... Its Man - women = happy.... which is then man - happy = women

Well spotted it's late... on Friday afternoon, I should be drinking already.

Exactly this...

I was correcting his maths, not his logic

Truth is there are unknown variables there. We don't know exactly what makes women happy

Shopping, money, make up, cloths, shoes....oh no wait, that only makes them depressed....

nah, dont know...

Chocolates and wine... I know those are in the equation somewhere too. And maybe a husband that looks amazing, does all the housework and never wants sex unless she wants it.

mmm, so does that mean Chocolates + wine + man (squared) = +-women? half full of nonsens and half not full of nonsens?
that would then mean -man = chocolates + wine + women....

I dont like this...either way a happy women is when a man is unhappy?

 

[ian_stagib]

close. You made a bit of a mistake on the left. Continuing with your equation, it's -(man)squared = chocolates + wine + women

Therefore imaginary(man) = sqrt(chocolates + wine + women)

but yeah, looks like they're happy when we're unhappy.

I don't think she's particularly extreme. I don't agree with the sexualiation of all game characters but when your mission is to kill people who own a strip club and someone complains it's sexist or exploitation of women, it's not.

Who could forget this key lady? She's awesome!

If you look at some proper feminnazis out there, this one is mild. There are ladies out there who would like to see culling of men to a point where they are a prized possession. Women would then rule the world and men would be used to reproduce. I'm trying to find the article but it's on Friendly Athiest and they have a lot of posts.

Enjoy your Friday. I'm getting beer at the Jolly Rodger later.

 

[crackOlicious]

Now that's sexist. Why's it only Rodger that's jolly and not Regina?

You guys disappoint me. Where are all the He-Men I was promised when I was growing up?! Why are you not striving to become He-Man?!

In all seriousness, I think men and women are equally to blame. I mean we as women allowed all of the objectification. We buy those stupid magazines that tell us we're not good enough and have to buy more makeup and do this and that in order to be loved and accepted by... men! Women need a mental makeover to think and see things the way men do (in the areas of self worth etc.).

The violence and bad treatment of women in everyday life is the big issue and so people are trying to blame whatever they can, and there's lots in the media to blame. But blaming things isn't going to make a difference. If men continue to harass and treat women like rubbish (rape, abuse, murder, etc.) then women should defend themselves (with a knife, gun, pepper spray whatever). What a lot of women don't know is that they have major perks to using handguns and other weapons for self defense. Because we're viewed physically at a disadvantage any male that attacks us is a decent enough life threatening situation that allows us to use a gun even if he doesn't have one. I'm not saying women should abuse this, but learn to look after and defend yourselves. Reality is that we live in a violent world that's in a lot of ways still pretty barbaric.
