Last time we had some fun showing how the damsel role is not a permanent thing in gaming. This time, let’s change gears to representation. I’m not talking about just women this time! I’m talking about perceived minority characters in leading roles.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 8: Not Always a Damsel
In our previous entry, we showed that Samus Aran for the complex character she is and revealed not only her PTSD but how so many treat her just as they do a man. So how are we going to top this now? That’s the hilarious thing, by taking the damsel concept they’ve been pushing and showing that gaming’s greatest leading ladies constantly and consistently break the mold of that...
An Irreverent Look at the Friendzone
By the Irrelevant Irreverent
When a person finds themselves in the friend zone, quite often the response is to snarl in contempt, gnash teeth in their general direction, and turn away, calling them worthless or somehow sneaky. I think we can approach it from another direction, and give these lads a teachable moment, so to speak.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 7: Analysis of Samus Aran, Is She Really a Token Female?
As we’ve seen so far in this series it is beyond easy to debunk the Video Games vs. Women argument we’ve been dealing with for the past 4 years.
“But Alex, #GamerGate has only lasted 2…” I’m starting from Sarkeesian opening her KickStarter.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 5: 2006-2012, Before the Dark Days Came
As I am starting to write this latest episode #ShuffleGate has become a thing. Zoe Quinn high on her own arrogant egotism and unable to realize that she is nothing more than a shallow Nixon allegory whines at Nintendo. A company who had reached their last peak in this era.…
The free marketplace of grievances
Hello, I am a latino cis gay neuroatypical middle-class 24-year-old man. When you hear someone present themselves in this way, what comes to your mind? Pretentious liberal cunt comes to mine, maybe your answer is SJW, feminist, ideologue. What I find interesting is what doesn’t come into our minds, which is what they want, they want you to assess their value, so they’re presenting their assets...
Breaking the Narrative Episode 6: 2012 to Present, What Have We Stepped In? It Reeks.
Now we’ve come to where we are now: This era of gaming which started with the Wii U, and the mere proposition of Anita Sarkeesian’s original campaign. The rumblings that would lead to the Quinnspiracy and #GamerGate proper were already visible.…
Do We Need #HeterosexualPrideDay?
In a word: No. We don’t need it.
No straight person asked for this day. Our lives are not enhanced by this day, and we see it for what it truly was meant to do: Piss off the Progressive Left. And yet, perhaps there is some value to this day as to why we should keep it.…
Breaking the Narrative Episode 4: Virtuous or Virtue Signaling?
Due to the recent circumstances with the Orlando/Marteen shooting and all the usual idiots coming out of the woodwork as mentioned in Honey Badger Radio 59. I figure now would be the best time for this particular subject of virtue versus virtue signaling.…
Where have all the Yes-men gone?
by Fred Sykes
Back in 1981 I was working for a small advertising agency. I didn’t work there long (longtime jobs are rare in advertising), but I do remember the boss well. He was a dapper, carefully-coiffed, GQ sort of man. He definitely looked the part of an advertising exec. …
