      I come to you from an even further future to respond that DICE choose wisely after their second Battlefront game had a disaster of a launch. After the backlash the devs decided to listen to the fan feedback and I would argue the current Battlefront game in my time surpasses the original. I literally played both the 2017 and 2005 Battlefronts back to back to test this and although I did enjoy playing the 2005 game, its starting to show its age, at least in my time.

    Angry Joe, I'm a woman and many of us are angry about what Anita spreads. She does not represent gaming women. Please don't put her on a pedestal when even real feminists feel coned by now, because the videos that she makes are full of false information and not the research and smart topics that we were promised.

    • @simeonyves5940
      @simeonyves5940 10 лет назад +6

      i dont think he was putting her on a pedestal. what he was saying was that, no one deserves the rape and death threats she has been getting. thats all.
      in fact, i did some research. many of the posts those trolls have made against her actually break the UN charter of Human Rights... International Law.
      now, dont get me wrong, im not defending anitas opinions or politics at all, let alone support them, as i dont support them at all, i have many personal issues with the cause she represents! and i dont see how someone who doesnt play the games she talks about can actually have an opinion on them as she doesnt have the context.
      i just agree with joe that, she doesnt deserve the horrid threats and comments she has received. no one does. at the end of the day that is still someones little girl you know. in fact, its against the UN charter of human rights to treat anyone the way the trolls have treated her. and i will do my damndest to protect her from those trolls, as No one deserves to be attacked in such a depriaved why from such utter dregs of society! i wouldnt wish the treatment she has received even on kim-il-sun. but that is all i will do, defend a fellow human being, as for the rest of it, i disagree with her opinions and politics entirely!
      now, i will agree with you that there is a lot of false information on her videos, and that kickstarter campaign Reeks something damn fishy!!
      but, if there has been a con or two going on, that is up to the united States legal System to sort out. it is their job to judge and, if proven, punish her. Not ours.
      we, the users of RUclips are not legal Experts. The US supreme court are so, please people, leave the job to them! .

      @mirta000 10 лет назад +9

      Simeon Yves 1. Remember that USA is a heavily capitalist country. www.candyswipe.com/king.html
      2. I think that she deserves heavy critique mostly because not only did she take money, is spreading false information, but she's trying to sell her nonsense to schools.
      3. I do agree that she does not deserve death and rape threats though.

      good point, America is perhaps the personification of all that is evil about money. no wonder the 2 greediest publishers in gaming happen to be based there. still, i doubt she has the money needed to err.. "convince" a "wrong decision". were talking billions for that.. she only raised, what...16 thousand bucks?
      2. yes, she does deserve heavy Critique, I agree perfectly, and i agree most of her videos are Pure Propaganda, and nothing more. i mean, i can point out that "there are no strong females in gaming" is Pure BS with two Player Characters and Three Games off the top of my head.. Cate Archer from No One Lives Forever and its Sequel, and Joanna Dark From Perfect Dark on the Nintendo 64 which really does prove she doesn't do any research as those are pretty old games now.
      And i am personally Disgusted to my very core! at her selling the "Femenist cause" in schools, especially Elementary, as kids should Not be exposed to such complicated and if used incorrectly, dangerous, political views, especially when they are too young to understand!
      i do agree she should be critiqued on that, and heavily! But, in a reasoned, calm, and educated Manner. because as soon as someone goes "BANG!", especially a male, she wins. because it gives her ammunition she can use to "proove" that all male gamers are dangerously insane man-children who hate women,.. or some other ridiculous and disgusting extreme feminist propaganda.
      3. and that is what i will defend her from. nothing more. she is a human being, no matter how much i disagree with her.

  • @shadowmaksim
    @shadowmaksim 10 лет назад +40

    Anita Sarkeesian...mentioned in an Angry Joe video...I think I need to sit down for a moment.
    I think you missed the point of why people are outraged at her Joe.
    There is so much I can say about her. Anyone who even bothered to look up the controversies that surround her will understand why. And I'm not talking about opinions...but cold, hard facts and the many contradictions, lies, twisting of data, and other things that have arose since this all started...even some before.
    I'll be honest, I don't like her but I don't think she should have gotten that overreaction. If she honestly thinks that there is something wrong, it is in her right to express herself...but the way she is going about all of this is so highly questionable, that it seems like something about her is discovered almost every month that contradicts her and discredits her.
    It's really a shame since I was actually looking forward to her "Women vs Tropes" video series. I may be a guy, but I'm not blind or deaf to intellectual conversation.That's actually how I initially found her, since I thought I would find it there.
    I guess none of this will matter anyway. The public only sees that she, a female, was attacked by male gamers, which I have to question as well, and nothing else. That's what was put on the news and that's the only thing people seem to care about.
    I've done my research on her to make sure I'm getting my facts straight. I even conducted some independent research where I listed the number and ratio of characters and their genders in the majority of games I own (around 170 now) to get a better picture of all of this. And I'm still adding on to it with every new game I get. I'm just getting tired of this subject since I'm automatically the one in the wrong since I oppose her.
    Regardless, interesting video. A lot of crap really did happen this year alone. Lucky number 13, right?

    Î think the main problem with Sarkeesian is and always was that her videos are simply mostly lies, she does not work from the ground up, instead of looking at something and going along the lines to form an opinion, she starts with the opinion and than handpicks some scene, ripping them out of context and than says how bad everybody is, if she would have worked right and not just look stuff up in wikipedia, she wouldn't have faced such a strong opposition and I'm talking about real opposition here, there are tons of videos critizising her work not the fact that she is a woman.
    Furthermore Joe, you never heard anyone threaten you?
    I mean I have seen a video of some asshole making fun of you claiming to be angry jose, in my opinion thats much worse than some stupid "omg I repa ya", thats simply childish, rather than someone attacking you personally, furthermore why did she never talk about samus, as far as I remmeber, she is the most badass "chick" in the gaming industry, personally I think she could kick almost every heros ass, strike that..she could kick everyones ass.

    • @SamBlips
      @SamBlips 10 лет назад +5

      About the 'Repa ya' thing, I think it's obvious that women are more sexually harassed than men. Not saying it doesnt happen to men, but it is more common with Men on women. And TotalBiscuit once said that one negative comment doesn't hurt you, but to see it daily will eventually break most people's backs.
      Lastly, a person once said this in regards to the 'anti-feminists':
      "When you hear a complaint that someone has raised, you might think that they’re expressing an irrational, emotional, over-reaction to the situation. You might even be correct - but it doesn’t matter, and here’s why:
      You don’t get to decide what someone else finds offensive.
      You don’t get to decide what someone else finds uncomfortable, unwelcoming, disconcerting, stressful, harrassing, troubling or painful.
      You aren’t the world: everyone isn’t exactly like you."

    • @Splinterdraco
      @Splinterdraco 10 лет назад

      Sure, there's sexism in games, but that's because developers most often aim at their Male market.
      Women are 47% of the gaming population (that's actually a fact), but they're still seen as a minority in devs eyes and gamer eyes because they're not audible. Miss Sarkeesian is trying to change that. however she's not doing it how it should be done. and for that she's getting death threats. disgusting, really

    • @Nikagor
      @Nikagor 10 лет назад +1

      Pinklett Cobbler
      I think the problem here is, this woman kills randy pitchford in a short story, she endorsed this and finds that great, but beating one picture up is much worse?
      I have to ask what kind of hypocrite do you have to be to complain about "death and rapethreats", however endorising killing someone else in another way is allright, because you are the one "pulling the trigger?"
      Sexuall harrassmend is "silly" anyway, if you see how feminists want to define it, after all a big story in the feminists movement and further more a cancer in the atheist movement, is the "elevatorgate" where asking someone for a cup of coffee/tea to continue a talk later one, obviously means that this was a serious rape "attack", look it up its horrible.
      Something else here, do you personally believe that what happend was all that 4chan could do?
      We all have seen what a violente force 4chan can be and "all" the reaction miss sarkeesy has to show for herself really is "just" a bunch of "I repa ya" attacks, I hope you pick up on my intent on why i misspell it, and "I will kill you" attacks, which really don't mean anything, log into xbox or any online game, how many people will call you a bitch or threaten to rape/kill you or any familymember and thats not because you go against their opinions, thats just because you play a game against them.
      So really the 4chan reaction first seems horrible, but if you really think about it there wasn't much of any reaction there.
      And lets not forget, Miss S. constantly complains how women are descriped as weak and useless creatures and how they are not able to defend themself against the evil big men dominated space..and what does she do with all this "omg look how they react" yeah..she draws the victim card that she herself complains about, that makes alot of sense.
      FrankHorrigan377
      Well I saw it ages ago from someone who called himself the "critique of critics" or something, the main problem is that he said he was not going to argue about what he will portray and then started bullshit like "Ahh look at me waving my hands like an idiot and shouting and mugging the camera and having cheap greenscreen effects", if my recollection serves me right there.
      The problem is not that someone is doing it, the problem is that you are not "open" to debate, similar as Miss S., who untill today, has not replied to the hundreds of videos calling on her opinion and "debunking" her arguments, she is jsut there to "puke" out her argument and if you say something against her she just pulls the "someone said he wants to kill me" card to silence you.
      Commander John Shepard
      Yeah, but the problem here is, just changing the roles around aka. having a woman rescue a man does not actually change how sexit any of this is, this is what boogles my mind really, she somehow thinks that having a woman as a hero and a male as a "damsel" is alright, but that makes no sense in my eyes.
      The gender of the damsel should not be important, but also her conclusions are wrong, man do not want to rescue women because they think they[women] belong to them and its "theft" to take them away or it someone takes their "power" over the women away, no its love and friendship and all that that drives a hero to rescue his/her loved ones, not some stupid power fantasy.
      Furthermore she had the ability to rip one of the best examples of sexim a new one, metroid other m, that thing alone could have allowed for an entire video to deconstruct how horribly they "raped" the beloved Character of Samus Aran, I personally do not even see this piece of shit as cannon, no matter what those dunces from the productionteam claim, Samus is a strong independend women, not some whiny "omg I need help from men to hold open a door" or "I will suffer needlessly and painfully, untill some men says what I have to do" aka Hell run.
      Sorry but this game is garbage and as far as I can recollecte, please right me if I forget it, she never really doves into this, the perfect example of sexim that even pissed off tons of ~male~ fans and she does not take up on it?

    Also to add more to Sarkesian.

While death threats and such are vile and disgusting, it just comes with the medium. You make anything on the internet and chances are that some kid will disagree with you and send you a childish death threat. Anita was put in the spotlight because of the fact that she happens to be a feminist. Even though her arguments are completely faulty. If Sarkeesian was a dude, no one would care that some hack on the web got death threats.

    I gave Joe a standing ovation for his rant about Anita Sarkessian and the hate she receives. That was beautiful and summed up my thoughts entirely.
    Honestly, those angry man-children really make me hate the community as a whole. Gamers of the world, please stop attaching your egos to videos games. It's great that we're all so passionate about what we love, but sometimes we take it a bit too seriously. And frankly, it makes us look bad. Honestly, what I find hilarious are the thousands of men who seem to literally dedicate their lives and effort into "discrediting" and "debunking" Anita Sarkeesian. Seriously? Is one woman critiquing your precious video games really worth this much anger and hostility? The anger and vitriol she receives is uncalled for and should not be tolerated.
    Honestly, these people remind me of those right-wing, Second Amendment nuts who go absolutely insane whenever the issue of gun control is mentioned, and subsequently arrive at the extreme, illogical and irrational conclusion that President Obama himself is going to personally arrive at their doors and take their precious guns away. It's the same reaction, if you really think about it. Anita Sarkeesian is not a threat to anything. She is not going to take your precious games away from you. I don't agree with everything she says, and while she may be a bit of an extremist (although, only a bit; her ideas are basic level, frankly), if the end-goal of her campaign is to help the gaming community and industry become more accessible and inclusive for women, then I think that's great; and I do support Anita in that regard. Again, I don't always agree with her critiques, but she has a right to say it without the worry of rape threats and disgusting behavior from whiny man-children. Others don't have to agree, but please, boys: Don't be childish dicks. Anita is not going to take your precious controllers away from you.
    And FYI, people: If you don't like what Anita Sarkeesian says, you don't have to listen to her, you know. Gamers really need to grow up and stop being so childish over someone critiquing their games.

If you just have an opinion and you accept that, you don't go to the U.N. and have a debate just for the lolz. She, along with Zoe Quinn (someone who I absolutely despise even more than Anita, simply because she tried so hard to be relevant to Gamergate even though she stopped being relevant almost immediately), tried to make anti-feminist (her version of feminist) posts illegal and classified as hate speech/harassment. Even just people trying to have a nice, healthy debate with her (which, the silent majority of anti-feminists, or at least anti-radical feminists are actually trying to do) would be illegal going by what she planned on doing. Anita won't back down and take no as an answer and will find any way to force her opinions down anyone's throat - assuming they disagree with her.

      Another, I definitely agree that Anita is for the most part is over stepping her boundaries. However, it doesn't take a qualified gamer to say that some games are definitely objectifying women. That much I will say she has a point on, because it's true.
      But the point is that it isn't about the validity of her argument, it's that gamers should be able to defend themselves and prove her wrong WITHOUT calling her a whore like you just did. How would you like it if you were called a manwhore by tons of people whenever you have a differing opinion. Do those people calling you a manwhore strengthen their argument in ANYWAY by calling you stupid shit? I can't comprehend why on earth you are even trying to use those kind of words. You clearly want Anita gone and away from the Gaming community... Yet here you are fueling her cause. Anita is campaigning against objectification and sexualization of women. She has some shady af methods but it's pretty damn clear that she believes in her cause, no matter how misinformed. Calling her a slut or a whore only strengthens her cause. She's probably going to use it as an example of how Games are teaching men to sexualize women. Seriously, it's not helping.

    Anita Sarkeesian isn't a feminist. She is using feminism to get rich. She knows nothing about feminism or its grass roots. She doesn't care, she took a noble and just cause and used it to gain attention and get rich. She doesn't care about what her "works" does or what she influences. What matters to her is the amount of money she can make off of it. She's been caught lying about being a gamer, she's been using feminism to get what she wants, which is sad because she actually set feminism back by 20 years. Her videos are extremely uninformed and she flat out lies about her subject matter just so she can seem like she's telling the truth. The problem with Anita is that she can't be trusted. She didn't use most, if any, of that money for what she said she would use it for, she used it for her own greedy gain. And the funny thing is that real feminist have called her out. If she really was about conversation she wouldn't have blocked comments and ratings on her videos, she's a straight lier.

    Your defense of Anita is utterly ridiculous. Yeah, go ahead loyal fanbase, tell me how he is not defending her. I adore Joe as well, but this is just embarassing.
    It all indicates that she is a fraud, and yet he hasn't even criticized her. Instead, he criticizes the extremists who threaten her physically and pretends that we are just arguing that she is not entiled to her opinion. That is a gross misunderstanding. She can think whatever she likes, but the moment she requests an audience about all that *BULLSHIT*, then that becomes more than just her personal opinion. When she goes on to challenge and critique video games in the manner that she does, she may be entitled to what she thinks, but WE _also_ are entitled to our opinion about her hypocrisy and fraudulent misrepresentation of what video games are. She isn't challenging the status quo. She insults our intelligence, whether you're a developer or a gamer. She is attacking us, we are not attacking her. This is not about her taking our porn away. Ugh. Really, Joe? This is about her being a liar and a tool whose thesis is plainly wrong and offensive by any and all standards. If she is allowed to be offended, then I am allowed to be offended by her remarks as well.
    As a sidenote, come on man, what you said during the ending was extraordinarily silly. If you don't play video games, then you cannot critique them. If you haven't played battlefield 4, then you can't, all sincerity, make a review about it. That is _FRAUD_.

      it is NOT up to US, the internet Public, to Punish her, it is up to the LEGAL professionals in her country!.. This is Not Hollywood and we are not the second coming of Charles Bronson, there is no room for vigilantism.
      also,, in case you have not done your research. Death Threats and Rape Threats, especially the latter!, of the kind She has Received are ILLEGAL under the United Nations Bill of Human Rights... INTERNATIONAL LAW!
      wich, basically, makes the people who made them even Bigger Criminals than you claim Anita to be!...
      I dont know about you, but defending people for attacking her when their attacks break INTERNATIONAL LAW! just strikes me as completely stupid and rather sick on top of that!
      Sure, maybe she has commited crimes, im not going to pujor myself by saying if she has,. or has not! But, the people who posted those threats HAVE commited Criminal Acts, and their posts are proof, and the only thing that Protects them from a good forty years in Jail is the Anonymity of the Internet.
      Maybe she doesnt deserve defending... but Neither do the people who made those threats! By supporting them, neo nazi Scum, the Detritus of the human race,.. as far as i am concerned, that actually makes you worse than Anita... Supporting a Confirmed! crime is as bad as commiting it yourself.. Remember, Anita's "crimes" are not confirmed, they are Alleged, a cockamamie conspiracy theory.. those Death and Rape threats, are a Fact! a Confirmed Crime. so dont support them, as that is as bad as doing them.
      Also. no matter how Disgusting you may find her, or the femenist cause...at the end of the day, that is STILL someones Little girl! It is Still a Human Being with a family! How would YOU feel if someone threatened your Daughter or Neice, or Sister, or whatever, with Death or Rape? put yourself in her families position before opening your keyboard next time, because i did, and i Hate Femenists with a passion! so whats your excuses people, eh?

      Unfortunately, it may go that way because as they always say "It'll get worse before it gets better," but in this case, it may just get worse than it is right now. Once a company gets high on themselves upon becoming a bigger company, they do some of the most meaningless updates that do not need to be done for the sake of making it "better," but in reality the updates they have made have been useless and has fucked a lot of people up. They like to fuck their technical creators in the ass multiple times and as of now, it has just been getting worse.

    Thank you for pointing out the fucking sickening misogynistic attacks on Anita. I'm a hardcore gamer, and a hardcore bro. I love me some bewbs. But I concede that she has a few valid points about the overt sexism in games. I may respectfully disagree with much of what she says, yet there is no reason for grabbing pitchforks and torches to attack her. The counter-arguments made in response to her views (that she is absolutely entitled to have and promote, the same of all of us do with respect) are fucking ridiculous.

However, when you see the comments from her opposition, you can see that she's right about sexism in gaming, she's just wrong about her arguments. Sexism seems to come much more from gamers than from the games themselves...

    Except Anita's oppinions are largely (this is coming from a girl, not a man) wrong and she using various tactics to confuse her viewers. Things she has shown were taken out of context by a large degree and the way she words her observations are confusing and made to mislead.
    Also she dissed Fem!Shep, who is the better Shepard in Mass effect. If anything, Male Shepard is a Mrs. Man, cause he's horrible. His voice actor is lack luster in all three games and it really grates on the mood. All the lines are pretty much the same, and Fem!Shep's voice actress out shined him.
    Also, Fem!Shep has the better romance option, which is Garrus. Tali was cute, but she couldn't compare to the romance with Garrus. It could have been just as good, but again, Male!Shep's voice actor was lack luster and it damaged the charm.

      Sensible people take issue with this, a lot of sensible and intelligent people make videos who point out her stupidity, arrogance and dangerous ideas. But of course, there are also people who threaten her with violence.
      There are always idiots who do that. And it is wrong of course.
      Joe is generalizing everyone who has a problem with the work/ideas of Anita.
      He is presenting "us" as small boys who are afraid of her taking away our games.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't admire her ability to manipulate people. The problem isn't that she's silencing offensive comments and concerned about threats made against her, that is more than reasonable and understandable. It's that she's also silencing any one who has legitimate criticisms of her viewpoint, which is why no one's ever seen her in any kind of debate (because she would be soundly defeated).
      If I were to say "Your information is wrong, what you're saying is a lie." On any of her forums or mediums, I'd probably get permabanned, or swarmed by her misinformed fanbase, and most likely labelled a 'sexist' for doing so.

      Why do we have to respect someone who does not respect us? Sure, leave being a complete asshole about it but this is internet, and why seriously respect anyone who does not respect us.
      I also disrespect her opinion because she does not play videogame, her views of it come as like any external viewer. Like I would not respect myself to be a movie critic, because I am not one, and if I were guising as one I would be full of shit and deserve no respect for my opinions.
      I do not mean that it is a "fling shit all you want" because anita only feeded from it and it never is really a working strategy but from that kind of disrespect stems mundanematt's and other people's meticulous break down of anita's every point she presents.

    You are wrong, Joe. Look at the _Divinity: Original Sin_ artwork controversy, where the social justice warriors and moral guardians that the gaming journalists have become blackmailed the graphic artist into covering up the "ridiculously sexy and non-functional female armor design".
    So yes, the feminist justice warriors _do_ have an actual effect on video games. There is a _very real_ possibility that they will take away "our porn". (An argument may be raised on whether this is a good or bad thing, but my point is that you are wrong. It's not inconsequential. It really does have an effect, and your assessment is incorrect.)

    NOT 'people who criticize Sarkeesian'. NOT 'people who think her rhetoric is taken to a distant extreme'. PEOPLE. WHO. SUPPORT. RAPE. AND. DEATH. THREATS.
    Because AngryJoe does NOT say Sarkeesian is right in this video. He SAYS she should not have received the endless torrent of abuse that she did. Her FAMILY should not have received it. And he's RIGHT. Agree or disagree with Sarkeesian, he's GODDAMNED. RIGHT.
    And all the voices above and below, criticizing AngryJoe? Accusing him of supporting her? They support, are in favour of, rape and death threats. Because that is the ONLY THING Joe came out against in this video. He gave you exactly ONE point to disagree on, and it was that nobody deserves that endless torrent of hate and abuse. And you disagreed.
    Disgusting, the lot of you. I sure as hell don't agree with her extremist point of view, but that ALSO sure as hell doesn't mean she deserves to receive rape threats and death delivered TO HER HOUSE - or to her FAMILY'S HOUSE - because she dare speak her opinion aloud. Every single one of you, disgusting and far worse than her in that respect.
    AngryJoe, addressing you directly: Respect. Respect, man. By far the best 'brief overview' of that whole sordid mess I've ever seen. Acknowledged that she had some definite failings and there is plenty of valid criticism to be directed at her (because there IS), while not holding back pointing out the sheer level of insanity of the response that followed, regardless of that. I enjoyed your videos before, but damn son, you just won yourself at least one solid fan and subscriber for life.

      The police said none of the threats were credible. It was even proven the majority of threats came from sock accounts, with some ran by people in Anita's camp. We are not ok with rape and death threats and we aren't ok with people faking/lying about them and taking credibility from people who suffer from credible rape and death threats.

    the RUclips thing... not really a gaming controversy; it's kind of an all-media controversy. Let me ask you, Joe; if Sarkeesian is entitled to her grossly misrepresenting and extremely misleading points based entirely on half-truths and conjecture, why aren't her detractors entitled to their dissent? Is dissent only valid one way? You make no sense here. Sure, it's absolutely stupid to endorse violence against her, but her detractors have a legitimate point here; if she's not really connected to gaming, isn't really a fan, and doesn't do proper research to back her theories up, is it really fair to have her theory be the only one that gets the spotlight?
    She's not out to better gaming, you know. Many WOMEN disagree with her stance, and you seem to ignore that fact. Get feminism out of gaming, it's not doing the art form a lick of good, and it never will.

      Just make all the male characters look like Edward Cullen, or have 'em be muscular, waxed and well-oiled but they only wear a thong. Have the females rescue them while they lie around in provocative positions. Then no one can complain. While I think her article went a bit too far, stating that everything she said is inaccurate and untrue, is fallacy. If it wasn't guys wouldn't complain that their girlfriends won't game with them, and there would be a lot more females gaming and having fun with the guys without hiding their gender. Guys want their male power fantasies in their games, I get it. There's nothing wrong with that. There is also nothing wrong with having more games that step outside of that mold either. There is definitely a lot wrong with how many gamer guys treat women they encounter in games. I hear guys all the time say "I wish more girls gamed!" make the hobby more accessible to women and make the community more welcoming and a lil less Neanderthal and girls will game with you.

      It's already inclusive. My wife enjoys a wide variety of videogames, and doesn't feel the need for them to be ''girlied up' for her. She's an avid RPG gamer, and the genre has a plethora of strong female characters. The problem is, Anita is ignoring that and pointing a spotlight on popular games such as Mario and Zelda to make it seem as though the industry is 100% anti-woman. It's heavily misrepresenting the facts to make it seem like it truly is a problem! Whatever happened to artistic license? How can we possibly call videogames an artform if we're going to work towards censoring it?

    Oh god when you got to the Anita Sarkeesian part I had to stop the video right there because I think I lost a lot of respect for you.
    Anita is a scam artist and preys on the wallets of ignorant feminists and brainwashes them.
    She's not there to promote "alternative games"; She's there to make money.
    You of all people should know how disgusting it is for someone to do that.
    I never once felt uncomfortable playing a video game and I don't need someone telling me that I should "open my eyes" and feel inferior, weak or ugly instead of having fun with my fantasy world.
    In contrast imagine if a fat or skinny guy was playing a game with a really muscular and badass male character. Is someone going to tell the guys that they should feel imperfect and underpowered as well?
    protip: Only teenagers care about porn in games. Veteran adult gamers care about intricate stories and there are plenty of games with those. In overall nobody gives a fuck about rescuing a princess, people only want to have fun.

      How in the world does anything of that - assumed it was true although you have no proof for it - justify comments like "I'll kill you" or "I'll rape you"??? Perhaps you should watch this video to really explore what is Joe's point on this topic instead of talking about your own opinion about Anita Sarkeesian.
      Writing harrassing comments and hate comments is just low and the people who wrote them should be ashamed of themselves. Nobody said that you can't critizise Anita but there is no justification for rape comments and death threats. Period.

      I don't really give two fucks if she is getting rape and death threat comments that are just harmless comments; Because everyone gets them; And she uses them to get attention and play the victim. But that is besides the point.
      I was just criticizing Joe for defending the bullshit propaganda of Anita that promotes ignorance.
      There's people out there with real criticism and not just inane comments you know. Joe made it seem like everyone was trolling the oh so poor innocent girl.

As much as I love the classic hero rescues princess story (Zelda is my life) I see no harm in a call to mix it up a bit and give women a more dynamic roll in mainstream videogames, or in mainstream media in general for that matter

It's better to talk like grown ups instead of coming with stupid, dumb sounding and insulting emails and comments! I mean look at me, i'm just a 16 year old, barley expirinced life!

Its worse in her case because shes a lying, manipulative bitch whose both misrepresenting gamers and playing the victim and i'm not sure which one pisses me off more. Yes, the death threats are terrible BUT shes almost doing something worse by USING them for media attention. She doesnt understand that the threats arent based on gender or discrimination, shes being harassed because shes been caught as a lying moron.

      cuda861 I couldn't disagree more. I find the whole "Well thats your opinion" statement to be a dismissive argument for people who lack the brains or the balls to fight for or prove something they believe in. If you fight for something and get proven wrong, fine, so what? You learned something; but if everyone went around saying "well thats your opinion" nothing would move forward. To use your example, someone could say "The sky isnt blue, thats your opinion" you should retort. "No, its blue, use your common sense and cognitive senses and you'll see its blue because the light reflecting off our blue oceans gets caught in our atmosphere and reflects creating the image of a blue sky." You can believe something till your blue in the face but if your PROVEN wrong then what? Your delusional if you believe in something thats been proven wrong.

Is it right that we white people came to america and drove the indians out of THEIR lands? Is it right that people kills other human beings just for a stock of money? Is it right that owners to their pets are wounding and misstreating the animals? Is it right that many, many humans work as slaves in slavery? Is it right that men are raping women and that women are raping men? Is it right that grown ups are raping small children? Is it right that people are kidnapping other people just to abuse them? Is it right that people are stealing from each other even despite for that they could have survived without that? Is it right that many workers in the goverment is using their power just to get things their ways? NO!!!! None of this are right! Start opening your other eye man and start see how the world really works. Opinions comes before actions. Take the raping of children as an example. Those grown ups can run around and HAVE THAT opinion of that there is nothing wrong about raping children but when they first do it. It's wrong, it's shamefull and disgracefull! Anyway if there are some grown ups running around thinking that it's ok raping children then there is something totally wrong about their heads! To be honest... Anyway there are only opinionsnin this world until those opinions start taking action and it's the actions who works out in the end it it's right or wrong to do so. This is not my opinion, this is something all us sane human beings share wich means all the bad things up there NOT are right but TOTALLY wrong. Only brain damaged people and such like belives that this things up there are right. Wich means there are lots of rights and wrongs in this world because opinions are just opinions, but it's the actions that speak for the opinion and shows if it's right or wrong. So what i just wrote now is not a opinion, it's right truth shining on all human beings that every person should look up to and follow. Thank you very much.

The issue I have is if someone paints with such a broad brush, is there sexism in gaming...yes, but what about society in general. Look do I think we need more female character that are strongly developed and don't fall into stereotypes, of course. But doesn't excuse that someone from attack something that they aren't familiar or refuse to give a fair and honest discussion. I am also sad by the reaction towards this woman, if you have an issues...don't go off the deep end with such disturbing attacks, speak up in a calm rational manner.

    "She[Anita] is entitled to her opinion"
    So was Hitler.
    But seriously speaking - AngryJoe is full of shit here.
    1. She IS trying to take away "porn and video games" - Her stance is CHANGE EVERYTHING TO MY LIKING! Look at what games she is addressing FFS - old ones, because damsel in distress is already used less and less. She, like all feminists, just want to make sure that world is tailored for her and no one else.
    2. Most of what she says is load of shit. It's either cherry picking, misrepresenting something or plain obvious lie. [in one game she spoke about female character who sacrifices her life to enable defeat of boos - PATRIARCHY! In Prey - most emotional point in story - mercy killing your girlfriend - PATRIARCHY! HOW DARE STORY WRITERS SHOW WOMAN IN VULNERABLE POSITION! SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONE DEFEATING ALIENS!]
    3. Look at what lovely idea of "female friendly" game she came up! Woman kills men, big bad boss is men... Wait, isn't "let's kill men" way more obvious trope than "save princess"? Why not suggest game where woman is killing women? Oh right, because that would be "oppressive" and would teach kids to kill/beat up women (no one cares about men though).
    4. Her all "criticism" is about money and victim card.
    5. Locked comment section, not answering to any criticism. Sure shows how strong her points are.
    Also your point of "let's explore other kinds of stories" is bullshit - there are plenty of other kinds of stories. I have not played any damsel in distress games for last 6 years or so.
    And feminism IS plague.
    AND "I wish you died/got raped/ whatever" is not a threat. Game where you beat someone up - is not threat. Take a law book and check what threat is.
    Well done on white-knighting though.

    • @ReticentCaptain
      @ReticentCaptain 10 лет назад +8

      Clearly that means she deserves to be spammed with hate, because saying that she should die and/or get raped defeats all her arguments single handedly.
      I do believe she wouldn't receive that much flak if it were about another video game subject other than feminism... The huge reaction from that is what spells out the problem. It doesn't matter what she said and why, what matters is people are taking her way too seriously. All of these comments saying "Omg Joe, you're full of shit, don't defend her! Gaaaaah!`" are all people that seriously put way too much thought into her and what she represents.
      Take a step back buddy, what does it matter? There's always people who believe in things you don't, who have controversial beliefs etc. Why do you have to feel so threatened by her existence? Why does she make you feel so angry? So she doesn't deserve ANY respect because of her opinions, as well as death/rape threats?
      Besides... you can't compare her to Hitler, you can't seriously think its the same situation. It's like you're saying her opinion will lead her to power where she'll invade the world and start a massive genocide of men. Like that's how much you perceive her as a threat... listen to yourself.

    • @ReticentCaptain
      @ReticentCaptain 10 лет назад +3

      lifebarier Let me break it down for you... You wrote: " "She[Anita] is entitled to her opinion" So was Hitler."
      Your first statement was a comparison... You, at the most basic level, took Hitler's name and wrote that she was entitled to her opinion just like Hitler... Also, on top of that, your statement also strongly suggest you are implying that she IS like Hitler for her radical views, why else would you use his name in particular. If you deny it then I don't know what to say anymore.
      And stop it with all your semantics shenanigans. Your arguments are weaker than hers. Actually, you barely implied feeling threatened, I wanted to see your response to that, and you confirm it by showing that you fear she will change how games will be made. That you value freedom in video game design. That all she says are "lies and manipulation" Don't tell me I'm wrong about that one because that's really your main point. You are showing strong aversion to her because she threatens things you care about...
      But... all that being beside the point, I understand where you coming from, but what Joe is saying in the video really was more of a call for calm. Even Joe might have his opinion about the issue, he does show a bit of support but it's minimal, he's mostly saying, calm down it's ok, it's not that big of a deal she can say what she wants she doesn't need all that flak.
      And I agree, I don't think she threatens much, I don't think she'll affect developer's decisions as much as you think, besides, there are better and more constructive ways to disagree with her than by saying Joe is full of shit and that none of us know the meanings of a few words...

    • @stealthmaster96

      Legally, a threat is defined as a spoken/written word used to control/intimidate others. It is illegal to say "bitch i'll rape you". Which many gamers did do to Sarkeesian. The game is not a threat nor illegal but it is still offensive to that person.

Unless... she is extremely biased and made it her mission to attack video games and earn thousands of dollars doing it. (why does she need all this money to edit a video together which is made up of other RUclipsrs footage?)
    I think peoples reaction to her is horrible but im not going to support her. It seems to me like she is conning everyone and acting like a victim.

    It's honestly funny. Had this been Jack Thompson things would be different. Angry Joe would have laid into this guy and not even once care about the harassment and death threats he's received.

      +Jo Vonn Or just telling people to stop being children and dicks making death threats over the internet. Regardless of someone's opinion, death threats are NEVER warranted.

      Jo Vonn Who said that? If you paid attention in the video that was never once said. All he did was condemn the children making the threats and their childish tantrums.

    Joe you should do a video on the top 10 games that need a reboot.

    Anita = fraudulent. But Joe's right about this; the overreaction was INSANE. Also, listening to MundaneMatt's defense for what it is the scope of debate is sometimes well and truly in the shitter. As Joe says, the discovery of tropes can be used as motivation to broaden creativity rather than stifle it.
    That's honestly where I would leave it with gaming as there are other things to be discussing. Some people are just mental though.

    Man, all of the comments below talking about Joe "betraying" gamers to defend and white knight for Anita. At a time like this, I'd like to quote a famous philosopher named Voltaire explain what Joe is talking about: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

      I am rather certain Voltaire would have been on our side, considering Anita is a scam-artist whose rights would have been forfeit in revolutionary days.

      True. He'd take our side against her arguments, but he'd be perfectly apt in defending her from death and rape threats. Which should never be sent to anyone, at all.

      But the thing with the blatant lies and nonsense arguments is that they can be debunked without threatening physical harm. But I understand what you mean by this is the internet.

    • @matthewmuir8884
      @matthewmuir8884 6 лет назад

      Lord Alkair exactly. Nonsense arguments can be easily debunked with basic facts. There are even RUclipsrs like Shaun, hbomberguy, etc., that make entire videos debunking nonsense arguments. Threatening physical harm is a horrible, horrible thing that shouldn't be done. Have those who do that never heard of treat others the way you want to be treated?
      Not only is it horrifically immoral, it is also immensely ineffective and makes thing harder for those who just want to debunk nonsense arguments. As someone who dislikes The Last Jedi for legitimate reasons like plot issues, worldbuilding issues, issues in character development, etc., I have found it almost impossible to discuss these things, because of people who spout sexist and racist garbage about the film. Why is it difficult? The people who do that are somehow far more vocal, and I, by sole virtue of disliking The Last Jedi, get lumped in with them and ignored.
