"She may or may not be in support of what happened" well yes i can't know for certain but looking at her arguments...
"But she wants to change the world, not force people to conform to her view of the world. " it cannot be both... either she wants to change the world and thereby force others to conform to her vision ( i believe this is the case as it is the purpose of feminism ) or she does not
"Because youtube comment sections are not exactly a hotbed of intelectual discussion at the best of times. " yes i agree that not all feedback is constructive but that happens in any case where you accept feedback setting things up so that you receive no feedback is stupid for various reasons it implies that you believe there are no flaws in your argument and thus you are perfect... criticism shows us our flaws so that we can acknowledge them and grow as a result... therefore in my opinion she shows that she has no intention of adapting her viewpoint there is no perfect being in our plain of existance and i'm not going to support the arguments of an imposter
" I just have a real problem with gamers these days starting petitions on every little thing." i agree... its largely pointless anyway unless you are the member of a certain type of political movement
"Buy the games you want to play. Don't buy the ones you don't want to play. The End." exactly... gta online is my favourite game not because of prostitues or oppressed women or whatever nonsense... i like gta online because i can create a character, buy loads of cars that i can customise how i want and play missions with other people who i assume are there for mostly the same thing i find it insulting to have people imply that the purpose of gta is to oppress women or that i get sexual satisfaction from playing gta |
1. There's a difference between forcing someone to do something or enlightening them and hoping they see things your way. She's taking the latter approach.
2. I don't really have much else to say on her youtube comments. I don't really agree with her removing that option. But I also don't know what's involved in being the gaming community's current pariah, either. People are still free to criticize her. But there is no direct feedback anymore. And the quality of that feedback and criticism was suspect, given anything meaningful was drowning in a sea of hate train jumping gamers. So many factors in that one.
