    Anita Sarkeesian's latest video, the male gaze in video games

    I watched most of it. Anita is saying that women are sexualized in video games. I think that's a given. And then she talks a lot about the "male gaze".

    She did have good things to say about how the girl in "the Last of us" is depicted, Elli I think her name is.

    I'm still on the fence over whether or not this is a real issue.

    Many nice pixelated butts depicted.

    Girls don't play games anyway, so this isn't an issue.

    Let the horny nerds have their fun.

    Anita Sarkeesian is the voice we need but not the one we deserve.

    So much stupid packed into that little thing. "Exaggerated hip sway". In other words, she's bitching because women walk like... wait for it... women. Too bad she's too fat to pull it off. Women are not objectified in video games because there are no women in video games. Pixels are not people and this cunt is an imbecile.

    It's a shame. Just make good video games. Instead they're objectifying women. What kind of person is ok with that?

    Her jokes would be funnier is she didn't always pretend to be discussing a serious topic all the time.

    Why do we give this drama sponge attention?

    Was so happy to not see this video being spread around so maybe her toxic content can finally die off.

    The male gaze?

    Lol, okay.

    Shit.

    You know, in Phantasy Star Online, you had sitting equality. If you hit an alt button, you could have male characters sit like the Little Mermaid and your fonewearl manspread. Good times.

    I'm very jealous I didn't think of her line of work, bilking the internet for cash.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.

    I just find it funny that SJW ilk will chomp at the bit about the "objectification" and "sexualization" of women who aren't real, but don't have anything to say about the men who aren't real in video games who are objectified and sexualized all the same. Oh right, they are desperate for anything to be offended about.

    Someone can be an object and still be a person. If someone, a living person, objects to being objectified, then take them out of said objectification. Otherwise, stop worrying about it.
    2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"
    2023: "What's with all these massively successful games with ugly (realistic) women? How could this have happened?!"

    Me and the wife love watching the ramblings of Anita. It's quality entertainment. [My male gaze intensifies]

    She has a point, it's not something I've thought about when playing video games though.

    I disagree with her point about men not being sexualized in video games, however--they clearly are. I mean, look at the atrocity that is the male blood elf model in WoW.

    Literally everyone who plays them for enjoyment. People like Anita go and search for things to be offended about. She'd be moaning in the same manner about the female character in Destiny being 'objectified' if she sat the same way the male did, because her legs would be spread.
