That Gamers Women Trope Thingie #2 is UpFollow

I obviously didn't watch far enough because I have no idea what this means.

I had a flashback to the time a gorilla kidnapped me.

And raped me

Oh, that. How boring. I thought it was something in the video itself.

She has all the charm of a workplace sexual harassment training tape.

Oh bloody hell. That is painful to listen to let alone watch.

On a side note, not a damn thing game developers do will make her happy.

Also Dishonor spoiler.

With the disabled comments and the disabled ratings, I am sure she is so high on her own supply that she can only love the smell of her own bull$hit, and declares it the finest in the land. She she seems to look at the world with a view just as skewed as the people she is targeting.

The comments are disabled, of course, because she was getting death threats and all other manner of vitriol in them.

Look, guys, there are legitimate criticisms to be made of the thing. Don't make me the honorary video series defender because you can't contain your nerd rage.

I once made an adorable cat video. After the 23rd death threat via the you-tube commentary system, I turned to a life of crime and abject brutality.

What rage? She's using memes and is afraid of the internet, the same people she's trying to appeal to. That's grade A hilarious.

Not sure if this was intended to be a counter-point, but it isn't.



I hope it was against Youtube commenters.



Yup. It's almost as hilarious as a serviceman who's so irrationally tweaked out by a woman criticizing games on the internet that he's taken to holding up the wholly insignificant fact that 'no youtube comments are allowed on the videos' as some sort of grand indictment.

Hyperbole aside, of course.


You guys...

Have.....have you not seen a Youtube comment before? Oh my.

Yes, they're entirely and easily ignorable. Kind of like how you ignored how the "facts and details" wasn't about the youtube comments. It just easier to ignore that to make you feel better, isn't it?

I don't really care that she turned off commenting. 99.95% of it would be garbage anyway and I wouldn't want to be the one sifting for the 0.05% worthwhile material.

It does come across though like she's lecturing when she removes options for a response even if she's not going to read it. But, really, there's enough to complain about without worrying about the state of YouTube comments.

There's legitimate arguments to be made about depictions of women in gaming. She's just not a good messenger for those arguments for several reasons. She is, however, bound to provide a series of videos about how women are poorly treated and I suppose those already firmly in her corner will eat them up, those with knee-jerk reactions against her will flip their shit and everyone else will largely shrug. It's been said but it bears repeating: It's too bad she's so invested in being the face and voice of this because I can't imagine anyone not already aligned with her wanting to sit through 25 minutes of her lecturing. Much less 25 minutes times 12 videos. Classic case of the message being lost in the medium.
