Makes me uncomfortable knowing I at one point shared the point of view of her detractors. Their entitlement is creating a space for them to be violent, aggressive, hostile, to lash out, and have these massive temper tantrums. I mean her videos werent great, but acying like shes thr cultural antichrist was extreme to say the least. “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ~ George Orwell, Mar 07, 2016 at 01:24AM EST I think about it in terms of my politics and when I choose what to do and say. When I started doing this work, I started it because I was really frustrated with how alienating feminist theory was in academic spaces. We need to look into the future at whatever is the next big thing. I remember seeing a funny clip where Joe Rogan mocks Sargon for being obsessed with her and he defends himself by saying he's "only" made 40 videos of her. YouTube is an incredibly important platform for discourse. So it’s really critical that these companies, game studios, tech companies, Hollywood, whatever it might be, that they do inventory and take stock of what their culture is and what their culture should be and what active steps they’re going to take from the leadership down to make that happen. So, while being upset that all of the things patriarchy promised them as men, they’re not getting, video games were a space where they could still hold those power fantasies. of course. One thing is YouTube’s algorithms. This information about how their algorithms work has been leaked internally from YouTube. It’s about thinking strategically in terms of what one wishes to accomplish in the work that they’re doing. ANITA SARKEESIAN & SARGON OF AKKAD EXPOSED FINALLY, THE ANITA SARKEESIAN & SARGON OF AKKAD FULL STORY Anita Sarkeesian had a . I don’t know if I can answer that question exactly, but I can bring up things that I’m concerned about. She is providing a surface level feminist critique of video games. I've never been able to get into her content, personally. That leads to massive online harassment campaigns. Hiring practices is definitely one area to be conscious about. That is not to say one can't critique her critiques, but it is always central to the conversations people have of her. In terms of employment, in terms of wellness and satisfaction and all of these other political issues – it’s taking people down this really terrifying path that leads to electing Trump. Her and her videos became something of a litmus test for me. From that moment, certain white Americans felt very empowered to verbalize their racism in a way that wasn’t quite as acceptable in the public sphere since the civil rights movement to now. There’s so much that can happen that makes it really difficult to speak up. And the thing is, it doesn’t have to be terrible – there’s lots of cool stuff. There are lots of different strategies and tactics for how to do this kind of activism work and it’s not all the same. Well these people are going to say it’s because Mexicans are coming over and taking them. That leads to the adoption of really dangerous ideologies. How do we forgive ourselves or not be too judgmental of ourselves if we slip up or say or do something that you’re like, “If I was my best self right now, that’s not what I would’ve wanted to do.” I think a lot about that in terms of how are we forgiving of ourselves and others who sincerely want to be better. It will not be a surprise if he gets re-elected, because I think that the left is very confused about how to deal with this and might not even fully understand what this means. Or men who just feel a little disaffected, because they’re getting the answers to the problems that are legitimate in their life, but they’re getting these really harmful, wrong answers to their questions. There’s lots of talk about who gets hired, but what I think is really important is the issue of retention. in reply to Got a link of this? That gives opportunity to be able to bring in other voices to speak up, to present ideas that might not be perceived as so radical. It was their perception of this last bastion of masculinity and so how dare women come into this space and say anything about it at all – even if it was the most basic things to say like, “Hey, we play games, too.” Or “Hey, maybe it would be cool if we could see ourselves in games, but not as like sex objects and damsels.” And so they kind of lost it because they responded with, “How dare you take this away from us? It’s this very interesting Venn diagram of video game dudes and the sexist, racist atheist community, and men’s rights activists. Ideas such as, “Why is our female character wearing such little clothing when she goes into battle?” Or, “Hey, I noticed this thing that keeps happening in meetings where I’ll say something and nobody will listen to me, but then if a man repeats it, he will be praised for that.”  Bringing up these different issues is a lot easier when there’s more people that look like you in a space. But her channel only had a few hundred thousand subs- big, but not huge. Don’t know how you can marathon that shit like they do. We started to see news outlets and different kinds of web outlets hiring folks specifically to address issues around racism and sexism and ableism and transphobia to bring different perspectives into the conversations about art and politics and technology in all kinds of different areas that didn’t exist before. I think there are more conversations happening now than there ever were before in certain places. How dare you ruin this?”. to view the gallery, or I'd argue that all obsession and vitriol attracted more attention to her platform when rants about her were spreading around. To me leading an ethical life is a forever educational experience that is up and down – not linear. Trump is not an accident, at all. We have to talk about workplace culture. You might say, “Yeah, we’re totally diverse cause we hired all these people.” But you do absolutely nothing to change your culture, you’re not going to hold onto those people and/or those folks never get a say that’s meaningful. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. That said, giving voice to incredibly harmful conspiracy theories, aggressive hatred of anyone who doesn’t look like them, Fascism – I think these particular types of attitudes are really dangerous when we lay them out as “This is the other side and they deserve the same level of debate and discussion.” Right now, what we view as “right politics,” on the spectrum of left and right, is so f-ing out there that I don’t think it would be considered an equal debate or discussion. I think Star Wars is an amazing example of this. Different topics and different people would approach it uniquely and will have different responses. We are facing a backlash to perceived progress and, in a nutshell, that’s what’s happening. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. While Anita Sarkeesian visited Kenan as part of our Ethics of Now Series, we had the opportunity to sit down with her in the West Duke Building’s Pickus Library. Here’s a whole bunch of anti-feminist videos. You watch one of my videos and it says “You like feminism? The Tropes VS Women kickstarter was a critical moment for gamers-as-political-identity. You might hire some people that don’t look like you, but can you keep them? That almost every thread on Sarkeesian contains some measure of this kind of post is indicative I think of just how deeply successful the smears of her were. Too often when we talk about women, we think white women and so definitely talking about women intersectionally, but also real microaggression and harm and racism against people of color and trans folks in these spaces. I could answer that personally, but this is a bigger issue though. She's their major obsession because if they pulled back a bit and realized they're the biggest reason anyone knows who she is, and that she doesn't represent a tenth of a threat to the existence of their hobby that they say she does, that would require them to reevaluate pretty much every conviction they've held for 7 years. Before that, in the 90s and 00s, gamers had absolutely gotten frothing furious at people like Jack Thompson and Tipper Gore and Arnold Schwarzenegger who were explicitly advocating for legal limits on what video games you could sell and to whom they could be sold to, under the pretext of moral purity. All of that perceived and actual progress created a space for the folks who are desperately trying to hold onto their privilege and power – to find each other online, to band together, and to speak up. © 2007-2020 Literally Media Ltd. No thanks, take me back to the meme zone! I have been there in my life before I really understood feminism, so I understand that it can be a really hard place to be in. The Tropes VS Women kickstarter was a critical moment for gamers-as-political-identity. She's a medium sized channel with pretty middle of the road feminist views. It’s because this has been building, and for those who have been paying attention and those who have seen the dregs of the internet, it’s not a surprise that this is where we’re at. The more we engage and the more the media forces engagement of these incredibly extreme, fascist, hateful ideologies, the more normal it appears to the public. A lot of these workplaces are not safe places to come forward about harm and people are not necessarily being heard. Cast Your Vote To Select The October Meme of the Month! Not only is it the public who is in a time of strife around the political messaging with Star Wars, the directors are in debate about it. We talked about feminism, her role as a feminist media critic, the challenges she’s faced in her work, and of course – ethics. It’s because women are bitches. Wow, that’s the hardest question you asked. It’s not like he just appeared out of nowhere and all of a sudden, these sentiments, and Make America Great Again, which is not even thinly veiled racism, resonated.
