Yikes. I recognised him as an anti-creationist Youtuber around 2005.
As a guy living in conservative country where women actually are discriminated and have to fight for their rights I find it very sad that this pseudofeminist bullshit becomes the face of the movement.
It is very harmful to have a constant stream of "pacman is sexist" or "kill all men" from the west used by alt-right to point out "see this is where this whole feminism thing leads to - that's why you can't have legal abortion or civil partherships or anti-family-violence legislation".
I know there are always fringe groups in every movement, my problem is that you cannot criticize them without getting a label that instantly destroys your credibility for a lot of people. It's not sustainable, eventually this will discourage people from talking about women rights at all, even in the west.
In my opinion if a game worked like they want it to (you can only kill/torture and see naked men) - only then it would be sexist.
In fact, what if equality didn't mean murdering an equal number of men and women in video games, and instead that is just a silly distraction? I promise you no serious people are discussing the ratio of sexes killed in video games to do anything impactful.
Sure, there's even a name for that kind of factors: sexism. That's the reason pay gap is a problem that is talked about but life expectancy gap isn't.
Feminism was supposed to fix sexism not to reinforce it, though.
> that is just a silly distraction
Well, yes, in the end it's just art critique. But even that should be a topic that you can discuss without being labeled as chauvinist the moment you disagree.
Wow, it sounds like perhaps you have been called a chauvinist for expressing these same opinions before! Perhaps instead of blocking out that critique you can meditate on it. To be honest, you are hitting all of their talking points.
But I've seen people like Thunderfoot called such names and dismissed on first sight and I don't think that's fair.
