I wake up this to all this fat princess business and I see the 1 group I get nothing by joy from is standing up fighting against a non issue. Feminist. HOW I LOVE THEM!!! I love you all!!! Fighting the long battle that has long been won yet you need to find other issues to continue to validate your worth in the world. So sexy, ALL OF YOU!
So the nice women/men at FG have the the unfortunate problem of letting a game get to them, not to mention put themselves in the same camp as Jack Thompson. That's right you feminist. You are now no different than him..
See the "Might Ponygirl" had this to say about Fat Princess in terms of suggesting how to change the game:
"So how about layering, Karamari-style, a bunch of random shit on top of the chest, like shrubbery, rocks, bison, etc, that would also weight it down. That could be cute, and silly, and not reinforce nasty stereotypes about women and the obese."
Here's the problem with that statement. If you believe that then you run into this conundrum:
Video Games Create X People. In this case, sexist men.
Yet in her post,
The intersection of murder, video games, and media, she drives home the message that that link between video games & violence is non existent.
Lets not forget this gem,
So much for those stereotypes…, as well where where she openly praises a study that "
...takes a very different tack from others of its ilk, suggesting that playing violent video games as a means of anger release is not necessarily unhealthy." So ultimately agreeing with the idea that video games don't necessarily make violent people.
So my question is, which is it Ponygirl? Seems that your "feminist" side is at odds with your "gamer" side. if you truly believe that:
"
If you like games that portray women as nothing more than bubble-headed fucktoys, you are a sexist, just like someone who thinks that lawn jockeys are funny is a racist."
Then by that logic makes you a murderer if you have ever played GTA.
Now don't get me wrong, video games do influence behavior on some level but it's the job of the parent to explain to difference of the 2 to the child. But putting this much weight on Fat Princess is just as nutty as Jack Thompson's argument of GTA being a murder simulator.
Nevertheless, it's still a silly argument.
Feminists suck sometimes :( But I like being able and vote and paid equally to a man, so they are not all that bad.
