Mivas: Perfect summary +1 :D

jamyskis: I found the Spartacus one better :)

roninnogitsune: I watched that video yesterday, TB tries to be balanced and I do agree that a critic has a right and duty to give an honest opinion, my agreement ends there and at the end I really lost respect for TB.

Why?

Because I'm sick of this BS about games having to grow up, because I know where it's lead to. It's led to the brown realistic shooter games that just bore the hell out of me. It's lead to the dark fantasy craze where I can't identify or even like any of the characters. I like colorful games, I like games that engage my full reptile brain when I'm in the mood for it, and I don't need to feel ashamed for that.

And that's why I can't stand video game feminism. They try to shame me from what I love, in the privacy of my home. Their solution is shame, they don't want more games with good female heroes, they just want people that like what they don't like to feel ashamed. They don't support making more feminist games, hell they were full on assault on the Tomb Raider reboot that made Laura Croft a full character instead of a sex object.

Artists have a right to make their art how they want and for who they want, The feminists Shame campaign will not make them stop. Sex will continue to sell and it will be exploited, nothing will stop it. Videogame feminism isn't helping anyone, just running a crummy shame campaign.

Cormoran: Keep in mind she only asked for $6,000.

I could go on a rant about people flinging money at already fully funded kickstarters like monkeys flinging feces (particularly with under funded kickstarters out there just hoping for the chance to be able to scrape by their funding goals) but that's a little OT for here, maybe I'll chime in on the failed kickstarter thread...

hedwards: She has a really, really annoying voice. On top of all the questionable assertions she makes. These things weren't a problem when nobody was paying attention to the plot.

I mean, people actually pay attention to the plot of the various Mario games? Seriously?

LiquidOxygen80: This has sorta lost all credibility with me, since it's been proven she's not even bothering to play the games she's covering, instead.
