more tweets from Anita and the shirt that helped to land a miracle



It seems every day I think about what to blog about and every day now Anita sarkeesian hands me something on a plate her latest tweet :

"Gamer Gate is a monster the industry itself created by telling male gamers they’re the centre of the universe & catering to their every whim."

yea she said that. so gamer gate is something created by the industry its self ? I cant see it, call me stupid but I just cant see how the gaming industry created gamer gate considering gamer gate is  by their own definition:

A group against the corruption in the gaming industry, from developers to journalists.  

how the hell is this a group of male gamers being told they are at the centre of the universe? Ive read the posts by Gamer gate Ive listened to the live streams on you tube Ive looked though the tweeter pages and everyone linked to gamer gate, Ive googled it countless number of times, but yet I still cant see anything that relates to man power ! 

as for women in gamer gate well you've got queeny a you tuber that holds regular hang outs for the girls of gamer gate and of course not forgetting #notyourshield were gamers from all walks of life join in on the discussion 

 I'm really getting the impression  that Anita  is a massive, massive troll. either that or : 



I wonder whats next for  Anita sarkeesian ? perhaps she wont be happy until everyone is Asexual  and all looking like goobacks from south park. 



now time to tackle that shirt 

firstly I want to say its a damn shirt  GET OVER IT the man lands a probe on a moving comet possibly the greatest accomplishment of the 21st century and he gets it in the neck for wearing a shirt   with 'half dress girls'

 its sad to think that British scientist Dr Matt Taylor will be remembered not for a great achievement for man kind but wearing a  shirt that femnazis are pissed about. so the shirts a little unorthodox on this I have a question , who of us don't have a item of clothing that's a little different from the norm ? personally I have a ghost busters t shirt I ware to work! does anyone complain about it ? No ( I work in a office ) . and lets not forget the grandfather of science  Albert Einstein long hair and seen as quite unorthodox  But he gave birth the the theory of relativity so I say to the woman of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). give the guy a break hes not the first scientist to be a little different to push the boat out and I dare say he won't be the last 



So ill end on that note don't forget to tell me what you think below !

The Feminist Frequency at it again!

So shes done it again stating that There's no such thing as sexism against men. that's because sexism is prejudice + power .men are the dominant gender with power in society:





seriously Anita I mean really ? men face sexism all the time ! if you don't open your eyes and take a look around soon your going to lose what little grip you have on reality. 

I  think shes forgetting one of the most powerful women in our time lady Margaret thatcher a strong woman that ran the UK for about 10 years. many young girls look up to her and respect her as do many others and why ? because she was a strong woman that got the job done. you could love her or hate her but cant forget how she got it done. 


now to break down her latest tweet first part : Theres no such thing as sexism against men 
 
well there is ,
Social/Legal discrimination 
1) Harsher punishments for the same crime.
2) Unfair family courts - not getting custody for the child.
3) Male victims of DV not taken seriously.
4) Male victims of rape not taken seriously.
5) No special laws like VAWA to protect men, even though men are the majority of victims of violent crime.
6) For the same crime, irrespective of the gender of the offender - perpetrator gets more punishment if the victim is female rather than male. This shows the life of men is valued less than women.
7) Men can be conscripted into the army anytime. They cannot even vote without enrolling for the draft.
8) Violence against men by women is socially acceptable, celebrated in the media. Reverse is not true.
9) No/Very few shelters for male victims of DV.
10) No reservations for men in jobs, colleges, etc.. (Affirmative action for women)
11) Men stereotyped by society as being violent, abusers, etc.
12) Young men have to pay higher car/road insurance.
13) Young men in Singapore have to compulsorily serve 2 years in the army on turning 18.
14) Male infant circumcision/genital mutilation is legal and performed widely and even completely socially accepted.
15) Males enrolled in are often given tougher, more dangerous tasks to perform than women in the same post (in a job)
16) Males are expected to carry heavy things for women, give up their seats for women, shovel snow, mow gardens and do any other job involving back-breaking manual labour, that women do not wish to perform.
17) Males are expected to not show emotion and remain stoic, under any circumstance.
18) Males who complain about being objectified are shamed as being “mentally fragile” or their sexuality is questioned.
19) In the army, or any other position men have to meet much higher physical standards than women (disproportionately higher number of push ups, pull ups, etc..)
20) Many countries do not even recognise female on male rape. It can maximally only amount to “sexual assault”
21) Male children are often given harsher punishments by teachers for the same level of mischief as girls.
22) Men are expected to ask women out, pay for dates, decide on the venue – basically it’s the man’s job to impress the woman, and not vice versa.
23) Men have no reproductive choices. The only choice men have is to use a condom (which can fail up to 3-5% of the times) or not have intercourse. Whereas women in addition to a host of contraceptives, also have the choice of abortion.
24) Men’s lives are given less value in any situation. In any emergency, always women are rescued first.
25) When a man slaps a woman, he is an abuser and a monster, When a woman slaps a man, “he must have done something to annoy her”
26) Victim blaming is acceptable ONLY when men are the victims and women the perpetrator.
27) When a man breaks up with a woman, he is called a “jerk”. When a woman dumps a man, “he must have failed her somehow”
28) Males do not have the privilege of showing affection to each other in public, people start questioning their sexuality. This doesn’t apply to women. 

 
how about the Fathers4justice campaign  ?  those poor fathers are an example of how fathers are treated differently in the courts surely this could be seen as sexism? would you like more examples? 


again Anita take your head out of your but hole and take a long look at your self. 






 and now for the second part of her tweet : that's because sexism is prejudice + power .men are the dominant gender with power in society 

again I remind you of lady Margaret thatcher and to take a look at other women of power, Michelle Obama , Angela Merkel , Beyonce Knowles and not forgetting  the first female video game designer Carol Shaw.

for those not sure on  who she is : breaking the ice for other women in the video game industry. Shaw began as an Atari employee, designing and programing 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe (1979) for the Atari 2600.[76] Shaw later joined Activision where she designed Happy Trails for the Intellivision and River Raid for the Atari 800 and Atari 5200 for which she is most widely known. Additionally, she designed an unreleased Polo game in 1978 and worked on the game Super Breakout.[77] Now retired, Shaw lives in California with her husband, Ralph Merkle.[78]
Shaw is credited on the following games:

  • 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe (1979), Atari, Inc.
  • Video Checkers (1980), Atari, Inc.
  • River Raid (1982), Activision, Inc.
  • Happy Trails (1983), Activision, Inc.
  • River Raid II (1988), Activision Publishing, Inc.
  • Intellivision Rocks (2001), Intellivision Productions Inc.
  • Polo (2002)
  • Activision Anthology (2002), Activision Publishing, Inc.
So Anita I ask this , have you even done any research ? to find this information it took me around 30 Min's ( I stopped half way for a cuppa)



Ill end on this note , there is sexism towards men they are portrayed as strong bread winning champions unable o doing anything else. I really hope Anita will some day see this. 

and as for her view on women in general : both me and Res and the concerned gamer get the impression that she hates women, and thinks shes saving a generation. well your not Anita far from it. thinking she is talking for all woman, well again your not Anita  far from it. Women are not thick they can make their own minds up. the only sexism we see here is coming from you against men.

Feminist Frequency a concerned Gamers piont of view



So the concerned gamers back and wanted to say a few words on feminist frequency


Hi all ,

          first Id like to thank Res and z0mbi3 for letting me come back and cast my stone in the feminist frequency pound. After watching Anita Sarkeesian's video  on the Lego Friends for girls I see she not only has issues with computer games and gamers but also toys. This makes me angry as most girls I know when they were younger enjoyed playing with toys for boys to! they didn't care it was anything from footballs to K'nex ,


 they also enjoyed playing with girl stuff to barbies toy pony's and hair brush make up sets. Yet after taking to a few guys I know they would play with cabbage patch dolls, prams did they care? no they were just happy to play with others their own age.









now you could say but its only over the past few years that the separation between girls and boys have happened a key sign of this is the kinder surprise egg blue for boys pink for girls.

my point on this is so what? girls and boys should have the option to  play with what ever they like personally I believe the older toys were best not knowing what you'll get when you crack open the egg biting in to that sweet chocolate made it all the more better , but I'm not going to make girls that want to be girly change. Just like it would be wrong to say boys need to be covered in muscles and carry a axe on fire,  its down to the person how they act and how they are. as far as I'm aware there are still kinder eggs you can get that don't show if there  for girls or boys so why complain? the amount of complaining that's happened that girls and woman are being segregated in to being the weaker sex to be honest I see as stupid. Its down to choice not making a woman worth less than a man

If a child chooses to play with a doll does that child have to be a girl ? No
If a child chooses to play with Lego does that child have to be a boy ? No

so now ill point massive holes in Anita sarkeesian's view , she states that company's like Lego are separating the genders making toys only for girls etc... blah blah well Anita if you Google Lego mini figures girl  you'll find things like ,


  

and , 


also , 


not really the helpless girl figure Anita states is it ? really Anita do your home work before you go spouting of your feminist crap. If you really feel that girls have no choice but to play with pink toys and fluffy bunny rabbits then you need to open your eyes and take a good look around. Girls have been playing with toys for boys and boys playing with girl toys for years.



So Ill leave it there , once again massive thanks to Res and z0mbi3 for letting me cast my thoughts on this chances are ill be popping in and out of their blog hope you enjoyed!

Brianna Wu victim of life? and a Girls piont of view!



Ok for this post we've asked a friend of ours to write today's blog




Hi folks yup I'm a guest today on res1080ps blog and yup I'm one of those girly things as well! Res and z0mbi3 have asked me to give my views on Gamer Gate so here it is but before that id like to say I'm a 25 year old woman that loves to game, from battlefield to COD to mine craft as well. I'm not going to state my gamer tag as even though I believe GG is not going to hunt me down and kill me I do fear the feminists that are on the war path lets just call me the concerned  Gamer , so here's my views

I believe  that Gamer Gate is not out to stop all girl gamers, they simply want to stop corruption between game Dev's and game reporters and I'm all for that , as for the extreme feminists currently crying that their being sexually harassed I think they need to back down , there are better ways of dealing with sexism with in the gaming community then attacking everyone. From watching videos on you tube on both sides of the line, videos from gamer gate then the 10 hours walking in NYC and listening to the Open House I cant see how Gamer Gate are out to get all girl gamers let alone Brianna Wu , Anita Sarkeesian , and Zoe Quinn it seems these lady's have clubbed together and decided to scream that there victims, purely as Zoe Quinn got caught with her hand in the cookie jar, because her dirty laundry had been aired on line well that's her fault , they can try and divert it from the real reason all they want but truth is being caught sleeping with game reviewers will end up biting her in the ass and to cover her tracks? well we know the out come , GAMERS ARE SEXISTS VIRGIN WHITE MALES!!!.


seriously Zoe, Anita and Brianna get your heads out of your ass hole A gamer can be anyone from any walk of life , black, white, gay, straight or bi  it can be anyone. so basically GROW THE FUCK UP LADIES Ive noticed a lot of girl gamers not wanting to play on line purely because of your interference your adding fuel to the fire. attacking millions of gamers on the base of a few, judging millions by the actions of a few bad eggs? I want to state that these 'feminists' do not represent me  and my views. I openly support gamer gate and gladly so.


Now as for Brianna Wu well what can I say her latest twitter escapade says it all  I found a you tube video that says it all : 



basically she states that  a woman was brutally murdered by someone that has nothing to do with GG this means  her life is in danger. how low can you sink ? the video shows a screen shot of her twitter page stating this the murder of a poor woman had nothing to do with GG but HER life is in danger ?  Brianna you need help. Really i advise you need to get mental help.

well ill leave it there I want to thank Res and z0mbi3 for giving me the chance to talk

The feminist's fight back!



So there's been more feminist videos cropping up on YouTube , from young girls dropping the F bomb 




to 10 hours of walking in NYC as a woman to loads more , whether its girls playing as the victim or girls actually becoming a victim. you've gotta ask what the outcome is going to be ? now I'm all for equal rights in women and men, boys and girls but to be honest it looks like the  feminist's are pushing it to far. Will they end up destroying the rights of everyone on the Internet ? pushing for a more wide web police? what they tend to forget is its the Internet there's going to be fights! feelings are going to get hurt, god the Internet is basically like a school play ground one group slating the other, one running to teacher screaming they've been bullied. In the 10 hours of walking in NYC as a woman i couldn't help but notice most if not all of the guys 'harassing' the girl were black, so what does that say ? that these particular  feminist's are raciest ? only showing black guys harassing the girl. Surely there's got to be white guys there as well, and something else i wondered about if she in deed walked for 10 hours why is it only around 2 Min's long? from a outside point of view it seems they only picked what they think is the worse.




If they're going to scream sexism they've gotta remember it works both ways  a woman cant say a guy is being sexist if she her self has said things like 'dumb useless man' ( trying to be polite here )  you can really understand why  feminist's and the word  feminism are quickly becoming quite the taboo on the Internet 

now as for the term gamer , from what I understand there's a group of  feminist's wanting to get rid of the term gamer I cant fathom why, surely the gamer term or label can represent all male, female black, white, gay or straight its a term that covers all so why change it ? if it does change i will still think of  my self a a true gamer always using the label as a gamer and proud to do so , Ive never  gave a fellow gamer a hard time for being different from me and why ? simply because when your online, gaming your on the same playing field as everyone else who cares if your a woman or man ? as long as your not a troll or hacker that's the main point. 

as for the women that scream OH HELP ME INTERNETS I'M GETTING HARASSED !  when in actual fact its more like ......




maybe stop playing the victim and play the game ? show that girls are not whiny little children that scream every time there beaten, more guy gamers will welcome girls, you cry that all guys are the same in game blah blah blah maybe just maybe crying sexism just makes the fire worse? 


now to comment on the girls dropping the 'F bomb' you can see what they're trying to do, make aware of the situation that woman need the same rights as men , yea they have a point equal right for all!, they could of done it so much better though. having young girls and a boy dress us like little princesses saying fuck and rape every two seconds to be honest wont get the point across to the crowd  they really need to take a page out of Emma Watson book, as a role model for the youth of tomorrow i believe she is right on the button, understanding that both sides need equality and understanding.


well ill leave it there , let me know what you think below we'd love to hear your comments :D

#gamergate and Girl Gamers - NO GIRLS ALLOWED!-





Dear Readers,
                      Today I'm going to Touch on a topic I think needs to be addressed, of course the big thing right now is #GAMERGATE and #STOPGAMERGATE.

from what I understand #GAMERGATE is marking the corruption with game developers and the people that review the games,

Now I'm all for the truth, I'm totally against corruption I am supporting #GAMERGATE for this reason and this reason alone. Both me and RES1080p believe making a review of any game it needs to be 100% truth , ( yes we have been burned before with games not being as good as some trusted  YouTuber's have said ) Learning from that we vowed never to post a video with a paid for review only showing the good parts never and the bad. No matter what the price its just not worth it. Being on the other end we know it SUCKS!




There's one part of #GAMERGATE that worries us both, of course its the hate on girl gamers knowing a few girl gamers our selves we can see how it effects them from the Hate , to the rape threats  then out right death threats  and why ? its simple because they can. Its easy to hide away on the Internet making threats to woman when you don't need to show your face,  playing games like battlefield, COD and dayz (yup Ive seen it on dayz as well! )  I can fully understand if the girl is acting like a total Bitch distracting all from the game at hand but what if she isn't ? what if she is simply trying to play the game for fun ? does that mean she needs to have the same abuse purely because shes a girl ?
Ask your selves this , would you walk up to a woman/girl in real life who was just standing there playing the game of life (working hard paying the bills doing the shopping etc..)  and say the same thing ? well of course not ! so why when a girl is playing games online do gamers feel the need to do the same thing ? most girl gamers I know are to afraid now to use a mic in game in case such threats happen and to be honest who can blame them?

As for the controversy surrounding Zoe Quin well lets look at the facts,
OK shes a indie game Dev with a pissed of ex who chances are may of wanted to get revenge on her, as its the Internet we may never know the full story from the exes blog stating she slept with a game reporter
for a better review on her game , to the response from the Kotaku's editor-in-chief stating , two had been involved in a relationship, but stated that Grayson had not written anything about Quinn after the relationship had commenced and that he had never reviewed her games .While Grayson had written an article about the failed GAME_JAM web reality show that Quinn participated in and Kotaku had also mentioned her game, both occurred before the relationship began . Although the accusations of favourable coverage were refuted, the incident led to broader allegations on social media that game developers and the gaming press are too often closely connected and that cultural criticism of video games has led to an increasing focus on social representation and cultural meaning in games by some video games writers. A number of commentators within and outside the games industry denounced the attack on Quinn as misogynistic and unfounded.


so what do we end up with ? as I said before it the Internet you cant tell if its real , fake , or a troll on a power trip all you can do is take it with a pinch of salt and hope for the best , this though is still no excuse for the way girl gamers are treated. 
one thing is for sure ....


So ill end on that note let me know what you think below id love to hear your thoughts !
