I'm rewatching all of the Bond films right now, so I'm updating my list as I go. Really interesting how perceptions change over time. I used to not think much of Timothy Dalton, but suddenly I find myself enjoying his Bond a great deal more than I previously did. Definitely bumping Licence to Kill up a notch.
Alien > Aliens > Prometheus (bad script, good acting) > Alien 3 (even though I'm David Fincher's biggest fan, but this is the studio's fault, not his) > Alien Resurrection > Everything AVP
The first time I heard of Sarkeesian was actually here on OT when someone gave her as an example of a attractive professional feminist. <_<
Anyway, I wish I could make a living complaining about non-issues and getting people riled up about it.
Must've been a virgin. She's super ugly. Obviously, otherwise she wouldn't have become a ********.
Sarcasm?
No.
Then you're a sexist, anti-feminist, ignorant fool. It's stunning that someone could actually speak of a woman like that. What hole did you crawl out of?
Some women being ugly doesn't make me sexist, anti-feminist or ignorant.
Your comment is clearly a sexist one. ********? A virgin because she was ugly? Jesus what an asshole.
How is calling someone a ******** sexist? I didn't mean that she was a virgin, but the person who told storm_marine that she was "attractive". Although obviously virginity and ugliness should be correlated, so I would not be surprised if she was.
It is inherently a derogatory, sexist term, and it is an anti-feminist term because it clearly inherently is.
Still not sure how a discussion of her physical attractiveness has any place whatsoever here. Inserting that element into the discussion is unnecessary and derogatory in and of itself, reducing her worth to her physical attractiveness. And commenting on her virginity or lack thereof is simply another layer of sexist garbage.
If you actually want to contribute to the conversation at hand, do so. Otherwise, please realize that your trolling here is unwelcome.

No. It is important that we discuss how elements of the games community have threatened the lives of respectable, intelligent, hardworking women, and how it may be systemic of the larger issue of sexism in games and the gaming community.
What is there to discuss? SJW's go and say all tons of ignorant shit and then some psycho's on the internet go way fucking overboard.
Funny thing is, I am pretty sure the whole SJW push into gaming has done nothing BUT create a drastic jump in the harassment of women in the gaming community...
yeah, women should just shut up and take it
What "ignorant shit" have they said?
Ummm are we completely unaware of the ridiculous amounts of ignorant blanket statements being made about the gaming community? That we are a bunch of misogynistic dorrito eating basement dwellers who would never have a chance of landing a woman? Not to mention to uber psycho's femi-nazi's getting involved in the movement who openly admit to wanting all men dead....
No, I would like to see evidence of these "ignorant blanket statements", as well as evidence of "uber psycho's femi-nazi's getting involved in the movement who openly admit to wanting all men dead". I have seen neither of these things. Unless you can provide clear evidence of instances where this has happened, then I will assume you are just lashing out based on unsubstantiated fears.
Then you haven't been following the issue and shouldn't be trying to discuss it without first reading up. Go find the gamergate thread in system wars and browse through it. Lots of stuff there.
Pretty sure that thread is no longer existent, or is over a month old and a long way back. Otherwise, I've been reading up on this topic for a very long time and have been discussing it for nearly as long. So if you have evidence, you can post it here.
