No, he recently issued a challenge to the critics of Anita Sarkeesian to make their opinions on sexism in games heard, and I was asking for a website with which I could do so.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I feel weird
I was desperate to spend the last of my Google Play credit before it expires but I feel like buying a widget set for my desktop is a waste
(I did it because, as Naney and I discussed earlier, I needed a better weather thing on my desktop)

Game writing is worse than Hollywood which is why game sexism is worse than Hollywood the end.
Games seem to be progressing in that regard quicker than films are.
some games don't even have writing.
you'd be very hard pressed to read a gender narrative into Tetris.
It's more the community that is sexist in gaming. Which isn't to say that games can't be or aren't sexist, but the audience is far more active and contributes much more to maintaining the status quo.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.

Well, you would have to avoid bombing the major cities at the very least, particularly Austin. Non-terrible people live there, and Austin City Limits showcases some great acts. Plus, you know, genocide is bad.
Maybe let the South secede this time, wait twenty years for them to run themselves into the ground, then offer to reintegrate them into the Union on the condition that they stop being terrible?

Is that the same bus you used to drive around back in 2010?
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

That would be a point in her favor if she actually criticized the gaming community in her videos. But that's not really her main focus. From what I've seen of her, all she really does is list off things that she thinks are sexist, list of popular games that have these things, and then just leave it at that. She doesn't do much explaining why it's sexist or what can be done to improve it. That really isn't a good way to educate people on an issue. It only makes people who already agree with you nod their heads yes and does nothing to change the attitudes of those who are uninformed or those who think you're misinformed.
Plus, from what I've heard she takes the valid idea that too many women in video games are sexualized to an unreasonable extreme. And in the process, she espouses a sex-negative attitude that it itself rather sexist.
There's nothing at all wrong with criticizing the way women are portrayed in video games, but the way Anita Sarkeesian is doing it really isn't the right way.

I have never seen one of Sarkeesian's videos and was not really attempting to defend her.
I do have to say that I find the kneejerk reaction a lot of people have to her to be utterly disgusting, but I've never seen anyone on here display that kind of utter bigotry, so it should go without saying that I'm not talking about any of you.
Anyway, I have to go practice SHODN. I stream in like an hour.

Mo on the last page: Fair enough. I will agree that, although I'm not entirely sure she's dealing with them in the best way, the nasty comments she gets are completely uncalled for.

But what if they reintroduce slavery
