So this is definitely more than 2 minutes long. There is some (maybe a lot) of cussing. One thing particularly of note to me is the #1reasonwhy towards the end of the video, a hashtag about sexist comments made toward women in the gaming industry. I've been seeing a lot of articles and posts all over about things like this on the internet, not just from ladies. If 50% of the planet is female and I believe 40% of the gamer market (I could be mistaken, do not remember where I read this) is female then shouldn't we work to stamp out this behavior? No question we should be. The video discusses more then just gaming culture. Lots of con and comic culture too. "Geek" culture in general.
AT THE VERY LEAST YOU SHOULD WATCH HER READ THE FACEBOOK COMMENT IN THE FUNNY VOICE =) [Starts at about 0:45 and goes to about 3:56. Yes, it is a bit long.]
Dude, I said this on the first day of class, right ok.
ReplyDeleteI m a gurrrrrl and I go to Street Fighter tournaments.
You would not believe the BS people say to me at tournaments. Win or lose. There's always some kind of sexist comment in there somewhere.
It's never like, GOOD GAMES *shake hand, walk away*
It's always like "YA UR PRETTY GOOD foragirl....iguess..."
It fills me with fiery passion and rage and I hate it.
Scholarly discussion.
