Thunderf00t! "IF Men acted like FEMINISTS!"

This is wonderful satire. It just goes to show how easy it is to make your points if you appeal to feelings instead of logic and you include the conclusion of your argument in the premise.

The most offensive thing about Sarkeesian's videos is how she claimed that she needed money to do "serious research" and was given enough to fund several PhDs full time and yet has never shown any data at all.

It's always out-of-context videos that are cherry-picked to support her argument. For example, in her latest video on women's sexualization in games, she shows a line-up of female prostitutes from Dragon Age. What she neglects to mention in the montage is that you can play as a man or woman in that game and the game also features male prostitutes, if you specify that you are playing a woman or gay man.

I like that, rather than doing a point-by-point destruction of a specific feminist critique, Thunderf00t simply says, "two can play at this game," and makes a perfect copy video analyzing how men are victims and obeying all the rules and conventions set in the feminist videos... all for a lot less than the $160,000 Sarkeesian's kickstarter raised.

Keep it up Thunderf00t. We love you.

I'm honestly not usually a fan of Thunderf00t, but this was a brilliant parody. The cherry-picking and confirmation bias are so central to Sarkeesian's methods... perfect.

That's some top-notch satire.

I like the central point that the standard 'mooks' in most video games and movies... the ones that are mowed down by the dozen by the heroes and are discarded without concern by villains are almost universally men. Regardless of the race or gender or age or sexuality of the protagonist, the enemies they'll be demolishing will almost assuredly be male. Yet if a video game dares to portray the abuse of a single female character, even if its in a negative light, THAT is worth condemnation. Just another instance of feminism asking for 'equality' by wanting equal representation in what they deem 'good' but caring little for inequality in the 'bad.' More female CEOs! More female protagonists! But more female coal miners or more female disposable villains? Meh.

I think there's definitely something to the idea that we should call for a more equitable distribution of disposable mooks. I really think the diversity of the faceless, nameless enemies I'm striking down by the thousands is a salient social issue.

I... I... just don't have the vocabulary to describe how awesome this video is!

That was the best thing ever. Oh my god, that was damn near perfect.

However what he sees has obviously value, I'm unnecessarily much disturbed by the fact that his face is as wide as his neck.
