though I enjoy GTA and violent games in general I would like the industry to have higher standards in story telling and to be more diverse too however it's not by telling artists to stop creating said games that you will achieve that
But in none of the videos in that series I've seen has she told anyone to stop making those games. She has literally just been highlighting certain issues and trends that exist in the industry in regards to the depiction of women. All these people who are acting as if their fav violent and sexist games are in danger of becoming extinct are just ridiculous, those games will always exist and are in no danger of going anywhere. All this talk of a feminist conspiracy to corrupt and censor the industry is just madness. It would be good if developers and publishers did consider these issues just a little bit more though.
I even think the whole "balance" issue is silly anyway. Where in life is there ever the kind of balance that she's supposedly rallying for? Movies, tv, music, and books are all completely lopsided industries, catering more in one direction than the other, oftentimes rotating the audiences they pander to. There's never any "balance" in the entertainment world, and it's a silly, naive notion to pretend that we could ever make it so.
So we should just accept these sexist tropes and not try to strive for better? No thanks. As for the tactic of lambasting what you think is bad, I don't think it's a bad tactic at all. Celebrating what is good is also important, but if you just ignore the bad stuff and pretend like it's not happening, then things very rarely change. All of the great strides made in social equally were made through lambasting and combating the inequality, rather than simply celebrating the equality that already existed.
In my view she is just exploiting this feminist propaganda to the extreme and the fact that she has drawn so many people in is just embarrassing. It almost makes me think I could earn a living just making videos where I nitpick certain imbalances in pop-culture.
To be honest this whole topic is ridiculous there are far more important issues in life than this.
You are aware that the videos alone wouldn't have caused blip on their own, right? No one would have taken any fucking notice of her vids at all if it were not for the totally disproportionate and violent response from cloistered game nerds. They were their own worst enemy. And, exploiting feminist propaganda? Do you even have a clue what you're talking about? Telling people that the topic is "ridiculous" and there are "more important issues in life" is just another way of saying "woman be quiet!". So what if people have donated money for her videos? She is taking on an real issue she feels passionate about and she feels she can make a difference to, and probably has made a difference. So I'd rather donate to her than to someone asking for donations to make a new Megaman game or something.
mue is trolling right? please say he is.
Piss off.
Wow, that video really proved your point and showed me. NOT. You claim she is one of the biggest hypocrites on the internet and the best you can do is post that pathetically weak video made by a complete tosser. I should have guessed it was a waste of time since it has #gamergate and #notyourshield in the title. Those guys are just insane man-children.

Mue 26 does seem to have quite a lot of guilt about being a white, middle class (presumably), British male. Any time an opportunity to support another side comes along, he is usually there.
Fuck off St. Elmos Fire. You don't know the slightest thing about me. It is clear from all your posts that you are a walking cliche of an ignorant Thatcher punani sucking bumpkin who never has anything worthwhile to actually say. You could have tried to actually post something of some substance that's related to what we're talking about, but instead you just try to insult me because I'm not a boring stoner like you who worships Margret Thatcher.
