Tell me, how does boot taste?
Like freedom, of course. What are you, new here?
Please - stand up behind your accusations and show us all which parts of her videos are self-contradictory
One example: Lara Croft. Originally, she was oversexualized, a sign of an inherently female-hostile game industry. Then, later, when later games toned down her sexuality, that was female-hostile because it apparently meant that the game makers felt that, in order to be taken seriously, a female protagonist has to be more "mannish."
And I really don't understand your complaint about how she spent the kickstarter money. She asked for donations to make a series of videos, alot of people donated with the understanding that she would make the video series, she made the video series. Are you suggesting that she should have taken that money and done something else with it?
She set out from the startup to make videos bitching and moaning and trying to shame others into doing things her way, rather than doing anything herself. Her intentions were ignoble from t=0.
Actually, from what I've read on this thread, no-one has 'trivially proven' this.
Check out Thunderf00t's response video, for starters. There are many others.
"Emotionally manipulative liars" is one of those old school stereotypes about women, and so AC here takes that typification, and extrapolates it onto Sarkeesian without any sort of evidence to bear out that she's actually like that
Have you actually managed to sit through any of her inane dribblings that pass as videos? Plenty of evidence there.
Hell, just the fact that she took a 150k kickstarter and used it to make a video series full of self-contradictory bitching and bullshit accusations rather than, say, making a game that she claims everyone wants (and 150k is plenty to make a good indie game these days, don't let the blockbuster budgets fool you).
It's safe to assert that "intending to shame others into doing things your way" falls safely inside the boundaries of "emotionally manipulative."
The "liar" part is trivially proven, but plenty of others have already gone after that, so finding them will be left as an exercise for the reader.
How can you tell when you receive a lot of death threats whether any of them are credible?
Having done my stint in various online games, I've probably received more death threats than senators have received blowjobs from congressional pages.
I'm pretty confident in my current system, which is something of an inversion of the USPTO policy: When you add "over the internet" to the description of the threat, its credibility drops 99%.
what I'm saying is that always having the cops on cam will take away their 'human' side and they'll just be encouraged more towards robot enforcers.
I think 40+ years of militarization and the "us vs them", "thin blue line" bullshit attitude have made plenty of headway in that regard already, so it's no great loss considering the trade-off.
That's also assuming that they're using one of the Netflix "Blessed" OSes and/or devices.
I'm in ur base, strip serchin' ur cheezburgers?
It amuses me greatly that both replies to this post responded as if Bill was talking about "X" the windowing system rather than a placeholder variable.
Should've used $X.
If you're going to get pedantic about statistics, you should really get to know your friendly neighborhood Margin of Error. Often ignored in fluff pieces, being aware of his existence is still vital.
I wasn't speaking about the copyright issue. The question was "how were they reconstructed without the video?"
Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies. FORTRAN is for wimp engineers who wear white socks.
