The 25 Invisible Benefits of Gaming While Male

This woman is countering the stupid argument that men have special benefits because we are male while playing games. You've got to watch this video this woman posted. She is awesome! If you haven't watched the original video it was a bunch of dumb ass men trying to be SJWs on behalf of woman. It made me want to puke. Here is the video she is talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47-FMmMLy0

  • Suddenly gender gives you benifits on something that requires skill

    This is all stupid. All irrelevant to real life problems. If sexism in gaming is our only problem, then who gives a flying fuсk? It's on the very bottom of my list to fix if it's a problem.

      • Her points are honestly awful. They are either ignoring the fact that people say that women have to do something solely because they are women, or it's trying to justify the existence of the stereotypes. Now, I do [u]not [/u]agree with a lot of Sarkeesian's/Feminist Frequency's philosophies or ideas, but this woman's arguments against them are freaking terrible. I don't care whether or not this started out as a "boy's club" or not. The fact of the matter is that women shouldn't be doubted/harassed/shunned/forced to prove themselves simply because they are women and some people [b]do[/b] do that/make that happen. Also, women want to be represented/catered to in games because there is a growing audience. Women won't be able to find more games that they enjoy if all the games are geared toward men. Not all women like what the woman in the video likes. The point FF was trying to make was that women who don't like what men do would like to have more choices for games. That, in itself, isn't bad. Adding more variety isn't inherently bad. It only becomes bad when you start saying what men want is unacceptable (which FF does which is why I don't like them... at all). So, yeah, Sarkeesian/FF sucks, but so does this random.

      • -blam!- Anita Sarkeesian! I hope Mistress Death executes her personally. She's so -blam!-ing brainless! She's like Illuminati conspiracy theorists, except instead of seeing the Illuminati every she sees the Patriarchy everywhere! She's a Patriarchy conspiracy theorists!

          • Agree and disagree. Being sexually harassed in cosplay happens a lot, don't try to say it dosen't, however, I can agree with most of these things. It also gets annoying when I'm trying to make a point and I hear sombody mutter "sounds like she's on her period....". So yes and no. Also, saying that it won't matter who writes it is bullshit. People who say that have no idea what they're talking about because you must admit that If a women says something while mad, if a gay person says something while fighting for equality, it will be regarded as less serious. But in the end, yes, I can understand that the majority of gamers are males, so the industry caters to them more than me. Only thing that pisses me off to no end when somebody says "you're not a true gamer, -----" now that's something I will never be okay with.

          • #FullMcIntosh and Adam Sessler in a video together at last? That's hardly a surprise. Most of their complaints are the same thing over and over again and they don't offer any evidence. I'm not dumb enough to take someone purely on their word for something like this.

          • The original video itself felt like there was a few reworded ones. Every encounter I had with a female online was neutral or everyone was white knighting her.

            • I agree with her viewpoint, but her arguments are flawed. They don't always seem to match with the other video correctly.
