Now, guys, Gentlemen of toribash forums.

This site is ridiculous: http://www.feministgamers.com/

Feminism is an ok topic with me, but when you read half of these, you'll probably
explode with rage (like I did).

Some posts to look at...
------------------------------------------

http://www.feministgamers.com/?p=31 | A very poor joke as it's not true. If game developers thought of marketing to exclusively females, the game would probably be overlooked by males, Why? BECAUSE YOUR MARKETING TO FEMALES. Simple.

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/4...6205642839.jpg | I couldn't find the original post but... Here is where I exploded. The pyro COULD be female and who the fuck cares about the message? Which character would you WANT to be female in the roster? The scout? Your loud, annoying housewife, The soldier? Your loud, destructive, pissy female? The medic? The pussy hiding behind the lines? It doesn't matter what you throw at these feminists, Something WILL BE.

http://www.feministgamers.com/?p=411 | Because it's fucking funny. There you will find the post on tetris after you read it, you will go and slap the nearest feminist you see.

Discuss, Gentlebros.

I feel upset,
And angry.

But mostly i feel slightly turned on,
Is that normal?

They have a point, to some extent, but they are extremists and take it too far.

Feminism is now beyond a joke. This is not the 1960s.

a. Women deserve equal pay.
- Women will be doing less work than men in the majority of cases (lifting, moving), including in intellectual work (every IQ test has put the average male ahead of the average woman). A lot of women are retards (men too, but you get the idea). Catering for the individuals is too complex in most cases and it is far easier to address the masses with the salary.

b. Women deserve payed maternity leave.
- So why don't men deserve payed paternity leave? What about symptomatic pregnancies?

c. Video Games should be marketed towards women
- There's Barbie's funhouse for that. Not to mention that i. many women (myself included) already play games and ii. the gaming industry is male-dominant. This has to do with differences in learning (men seem to have more ability to learn kinaesthetically/enjoy hands on stimuli in addition to the others). Women seem to learn more in social situations (i.e. outdoors). A lot of women do not find video games intrinsically motivating (the driving force behind the industry), although I'm pretty sure I could pick any woman from the street and make them enjoy mario kart on the wii.

d. Team Fortress 2 has no female characters
- Fair enough. Would you like to point to 4 major western countries where women are allowed to be soldiers in war? What about major western countries where women account for 25% of the assault force? I like the way they decided the "pyro" should be female. I bet if the medic was female, they'd think that was sexist too.
That said, I think the option to choose gender in TF2 would be pretty cool.

e. Women deserve equal rights to men
- The moment the majority of women start to be equal to the majority of men, I absolutely agree. At the moment they are behind. I would like to propose the annihilation of feminists for starters, as they seem to have problems adapting to life in the 21st century and give women everywhere a bad name.

Attention feminists: stop dicking up my gender.


These comments are worse than youtube. Self-righteous fucks

The one for Team Fortress 2 is stupid, of course there would be no female characters, it's a guy game. Blood and gore is obviously a man game. If you want some games that feature women, go to Nintendo, as their casual games apply to everyone.

Holy shit, just read the Sexism in Tetris, and that is just taking it too far. Tetris is just a puzzle game for christ's sake.

Lol the tetris one is obviously a joke (..right?)

"But the most telling part of the game is the fact that that most highly-sought after piece in the game is the “long piece.” Could anything be more phallo-centric than the plunging of the long piece into a deep cleft of the field below? After which, the rows blink and disappear — the message? Once the vaginal area has been penetrated, it is conquered, it is unnecessary — and the player who did the penetrating scores “points” and moves on to the the next field. Truly, this only serves to reinforce the subjugating purpose of the architectural tradition. What sort of disgusting, sexist game have we been playing all of these years?"

I had to laugh after that

Is it possible that it is just a joke forum/blog?

I remember coming across something like that once in our clan boards. We were actually poking fun at it until someone noticed the small text at the bottom of the page. Then we all got a bit embarrassed at not realizing sooner.

This is not a joke.

Pink halo is the stupidest thing I have ever seen, and in a way the are being hypocritical themselves by saying that pink is a woman's color, that's just like saying rugby is a man's sport. I am so sick of the feminist bullshit that some women come up with.

It is. The tetris article was posted 1st April (durr)

SHHHH
