give HER head while SHE plays video games

Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?

[boybeetles]

Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate

[flurrin]

Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.

Thanks for the correction! I was like 8-10 years old when this all went down (2014-2016) so I only know vaguely about it. I’m still learning about this.

But like for real it's funny anarchists even try to compete with commies in the Succesful Projects part. I've read the Great Anarchist Manifesto and its own examples of "anarchist projects" was a laughably short few subjects list where it was all 1 failed revolts 2 crushed within a year max. Whenever an anarchist pulls that card irl or online ive never once heard something that even came close to a small socialist state that got overthrown after a few years. Why are they even trying to compete in this part

[anton--rayne]

It goes

Commies keep saying communisms faults were because it kept being sabotaged! Why don't they give the same grace to anarchist projects that were sabotaged? -> It's pointed out communism still survived those sabotages far better than anarchists and produced far more results in the last century and more, so clearly they're doing something better?

Because it is communists who keep sabotaging anarchists! -> It's pointed out anarchists also sabotage communists but communists have prevailed better against those sabotages, again, clearly doing something better

Cold War era communist success was just because Daddy Russia gave everyone aid anyway, it wasn't communist success! -> Well why weren't anarchists able to produce an anarchist daddy spreading anarchism then? -> "Because commies sabotaged us" -> Repeat

[generalissimo-kneedeepincynide]

"Why can't commies and anarchists work together"

- work togheter during the Russian revolution= the black army begins raiding Bolsheviks supply lines

-work togheter during the spanish civil war: the anarchists fail to create an industrial production in the most industrialised part of spain. When critiqued about it they break the united front and procede to get everyone killed.

Got around to starting on the Call of the Night manga, and I very much love Kotoyama Koto's art style. Sometimes I'll stumble across an art style that just really activates my neurons for some reason, and this is definitely one of them. The character designs are excellent and I love the atmosphere it captures.
