Motherboard: RDR2 Players Are Excited to Attack and Kill Feminists in the Game [update: re-instated]
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
A feminist is simply someone who supports women's rights and for them to be treated equally to men. If you don't like feminists then you're sexist and a mysogynist. Full stop.
crazy how this guy who posted, like, long plays and fromsoft soundtracks pulls out this deep web deviantart style 'feminist eaten alive by alligators' content.
don't know what's more unsettling — that some schmoe from nowhereville has that much virulent hate in his heart*, that youtube's algorithm thought that was what people wanted to see, or that, yes, people really were slavering to see that one random feminist npc get run over by a train for... being a feminist.
(*ha that's a joke, i know how much some random dude can hate me just for being alive. ha. funny.)

probably because most are more interested in combating my opinion on the article than they are engaging what I view as better alternatives. It's not that I haven't shown interest Talking about other approaches to combating this type of ideology, But my mentions were flooded with Passive aggressive insults, demonstrably false accusations, mischaracterization of my comments and intentioms, and whataboutism. Unfortunately these things have thus far commanded most of my attention here.
Most likely, yes. Having prejudice for a group of people simply because they want to exist in a world free of the marginalization of women is pretty mysogynistic..
Should you be banned simply for having that view? Probably, but that's debatable. But if your expression of that view progressed into targeted displays of Violence against people with feminist views, that would be an obvious red flag that SHOULD result in removal from any dignified forum.

I see, so to not like or care for somthing = hate speech?
If I say I dont like broccoli does it mean I hate it and should have a political opinion?
I prefer to date old fashioned conservative type of women rather than feminists types.
If the gaming community has a problem with me like or disliking somthing, then maybe the issue is the community and not me.
Maybe I should take my ball and leave, If I'm not going to toe the line!
Show me how disagreement= hate.
You know how they be asserting their right to exist with dignity and shit.
Lol did Boogie make an account here or something.
Yes.
Very easily comprehensible.
But damn some of y'all are too fucking stupid to understand this.

What context am I missing?
You've never played a game, gotten bored, and decided to make up 'challenges'? Like following traffic laws in gta, or killing only certain types of enemies, or only using one kind of weapon, modding Bethesda games to kill children, etc. Maybe it's weird, sure, but it doesn't mean you have mental issues.
OP
OP
Man what the fuck? You're fucking mental if you mod Bethesda games or any game for that matter to kill children as far as I'm concerned mate. How does this shit even register in your mind? Especially compared to your other examples.
Lmao are you fucking serious with that broccoli analogy? Disagreeing with women's rights is hateful, yes.
I can say I've never gotten bored and decided to hunt and kill only black people no, I can;t say I got bored and decided to only kill prostitutes either.
If you don't like advocacy for women having social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men, then yes, you're a misogynist.
Second, you being banned isn't the same as you being arrested. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Misogyny and being a terrible person isn't illegal, but other private entities certainly get to exercise their rights in purging and deplatforming people for being terrible human beings who openly express backwards, inferior, and harmful outlooks on society.
Feminists aren't like broccoli
I don't think he actually made any comment here. I also think the dude was misguided for thinking that Jim would have supported him anyways.
You not liking your veges isnt the same as you not being on board with equal rights
I dont think he responded did he?
Blame the messenger, right?
The internet right wing has made strawmen out of so many social issues its insane. And now your intentionally just gonna pretend to not understand what people are talking about?
What could you possibly not like about feminists? I don't understand how you couldn't like people advocating for equal societal and legal rights?
This video straight up glorifies and takes joy in doing horrible things to a character specifically because they are feminist. There is so much vitriol in the video and the comments. This is just an example of the type of shit this community breeds. That's the point of the article.
Broccoli
Is not
People
And yes, not liking feminists is having a political opinion.
You're literally saying you do not like or care for equal rights for women you absolutely jobber.
You're literally equating feminism with eating broccoli.
No one gives a shit about your dating preferences.
You're a literal meme:
Yes, pls leave. And since you care so much about free speech.
Yes. If he just did that once on a video nobody would give a shit, but he made a point of clickbaity title in multiple videos of the NPC in question being killed in the worst ways.
Nah, Jim's good people. This dude's just way off base thinking Jim would care about him.
...No, I can't say I've ever taken up the "racism" challenge. I've killed civilians in games before but I've never thought to actively hunt for people of specific ethnicity or gender and I'll be suspicious of anyone who says they have more fun doing that.
"Why can't they just be quite about wanting equality so I don't have to hear them or think about it?"
wow, i see now, it's all becoming clear. the real, true, pure value of an equality movement for basic civil rights: are they waifu material.
this must be the dark enlightenment
I recently found that there are like five branches of feminism and they kinda hate each other... that made me sad and think that we have no solution as a specie.
These videos are pretty disgusting. I am happy the game allows you to behave in whatever way you choose, but to create videos where you specifically hunt women, beat them, torture them, and murder them, because they are feminists, is beyond disturbing. This guy shouldn't have gotten his channel back. Youtube should have erased that shit.
It's like it's got some misogynist attracting scent or something. People busing into Bronson's shed just to toss themselves in it.
"why cant we just have like, free speech and stuff, respect my rights to say what i want"
"SJWs talking about womens rights and colored people's rights are just the worst, let me shut them down and get my mob on them cause i dont like what they are saying"
"SJWs talking about womens rights and colored people's rights are just the worst, let me shut them down and get my mob on them cause i dont like what they are saying"
That's true, there are things like womanism and other intersectional brands of feminism that may or may not advocate for each other. For example, womanism seeks to right issues that black women specifically face, on top of general issues women face. But the occasional infighting and disagreements shouldn't discredit the entire movement under the umbrella.
Somehow you've gone from "It's just a dude projecting his desire to harm feminists" to "I mod bethesda games to murder children."
You know, I knew people were stupid, but there are a hell of a lot of people on the gaming side that are super stupid enough to show their ass but somehow manage to stay away from the off topic side.
yes, and i'm sure if the video were titled "killing every white man" or whatever he would've been banned as well (rightfully), but you wouldn't hear idiots complaining about it
They know that if they head over to off topic they would get their ass handed to them so they stay on gaming side where it's "safe".
Without a doubt and often they unite for many things, It's happening a lot in my country recently because abortion is ilegal here and it's on debate.
I jusy read some discussions on twitter were women from different branches were almost insulting each other because of their opinions and it made me feel tired... like I didn't expect that.
Again, that doesn't invalidate the thousands of women fighting everyday.
Also, twitter is bad... or well, people that can't behave I guess, I'm guilty too.
Someone doesn't say "hey I'm going to play GTA and only kill black people" just because they're bored. This isn't a hard concept to grasp.
Just so you get it, 'feminists' in the context of both RDR2 and the videos made by the pissant youtuber in question, refers to 'woman demonstrating for her right to vote.'
So strolling in here with "I don't like feminists" without a shred of nuance or reframing of context is maybe not your strongest rhetorical opener, champ.
Leftists of many stripes dont always agree with each other, i've seen it first hand. But its just a fact of life regarding how important it is to focus on issues where you do agree when it comes to the oppressed and downtrodden, IMO. Cause the right will always rally around each other when it comes to the position of hate
Now that I understand the full context of the topic then yes I think he's an idiot and deserves all the criticism he's getting
Yes, he is specifically targeting the npc because of what they stand in for and glorified it. Its not the fact that he killed a npc, but that it was a focused target across multiple videos and just lingers on it the whole time because they are specifically pandering to the alt right crowd. They could have made this video with literally any random npc, they chose the feminist and advertised it as such because of what they represent
he deserves a ban
small brain: i'm gonna challenge myself by playing through all of dark souls as a level 1 character
galaxy brain: i'm gonna challenge myself by playing through GTA killing only women and minorities
That moment when you realized that Era is such a tiny minority of the gaming community after you read the comment section in the Youtube video.
