Bitcoin Forum

I would like to be able to donate in Bitcoin to Anita Sarkeesian or one of her projects that's called Feminist Frequency(which succeeded splendingly on kickstarter.com (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-women-in-video-games)) which she is very famous for. Feminist Frequency is currently only accepting PayPay which is a shame.
Through Feminist Frequency she is making an analysis of gender stereotypes in video games. Today there's hardly a person who doesn't know about her which is a person who also cares about the internet in a genuine sort of way. Her videos are free to download on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/user/feministfrequency/) and she has only done the work through donations.

To my knowledge she has never received money in any way through Bitcoin, and finding references on Bitcoin and Anita Sarkeesian has ended up on Bitcoin talk on a thread with a topic not even about her nor about Feminist Frequency or any other of her projects.

This thread is dedicated to if it's possible to give donations to Feminist Frequency to support the cause, what the community here feels about it, if it's just 'ok', indifference or if it would be great. Maybe there will be much interest or little.
The world needs a little more love and Bitcoin certainly needs it too. I may ask her if she would like to start accepting it, maybe or maybe not depending on how the thread goes what the community thinks of her work.

Flattr has written a few things about Anita(before they started accepting Bitcoin 5 months afterwards) in light of "Gender, Technology, Diversity and Creativity" http://blog.flattr.net/2013/02/gender-technology-diversity-and-creativity/ writing about her in a very positive light.

------------------------
I have a hard time finding any arguments backed by sources. Anita Sarkeesian, among others, has/have transcripts of what she says in her videos. If you wanna back your argumentation and not just spam with stuff you think she might have said, then quote stuff she has said in the transcripts(example transcript (http://www.feministfrequency.com/2014/08/women-as-background-decoration-part-2/#more-20630)) of a specific video.

UPDATE: I had a summary here, but after seeing the evolution of the thread I think we are on a more creative and productive path as the first pages may be an indication of how to approach the subject. But...
If you came here to spread hate and misinformation you are not welcome.

UPDATE 2: This new summary is on the progress of whether Feminist Frequency will accept Bitcoin as a donation option:
Page1-Page7 From constructive, neutral and hostile(including Ad Hominems) interaction with the Bitcoin community.

Page8 post #160 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg9530601#msg9530601) with a tweet (https://twitter.com/PKBitcoin/status/532570946918711300) asking @femfreq if she knows how Bitcoin works and if she likes Cryptography.
Page9 post #168 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg9559974#msg9559974) with a tweet (https://twitter.com/PKBitcoin/status/532856682620399616) to @femfreq about How Bitcoin Works (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx9zgZCMqXE), Cryptographic checksums(she has talked about Bittorrent before), briefly mentioning Digital Signatures and Public-key Cryptography.

Page11 post #217 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg10387611#msg10387611) generally about Women in Bitcoin. Transcript of "Q&A with Andreas Antonopoulos - Bitcoin in 2015 and beyond" but only translated the part related to Women and Bitcoin.

Anita is sexist against men to an absolute extreme, and one of the biggest hypocrite you can find on the internet. She says that if a man is saving a woman in a video game, then it must mean that the woman is portrayed as totally helpless. She also says that if a woman is the hero and sacrificing her safety to save others, then the game is promoting violence towards women. Nothing that Anita says ever holds true across any of her claims. No matter what happens in a game, it is always portraying women badly from her warped perspective. It is the classic "have your cake and eat it too" example of a hypocrite. Sorry, you just can't have it both ways, ever.

You seem to have fallen for the neo-liberal fallacy, in that, because there exist 50% women in the population, that all jobs, hobbies, and sports should consist of 50% women. By your logic, 50% of Alaskan crab fishing should be female, 50% of bodybuilders should be female, and 50% of preschool teachers should be male. What you fail to understand is that men and women are measurably different. Men are physically stronger, taller, and cannot give birth. There are a multitude of factors that go into the gender imbalance throughout all jobs, hobbies, and sports. If you cannot acknowledge basic reality, then please don't go around spreading your illogical nonsense.

There is no worldwide conspiracy or some unspoken code that men who use bitcoin live by in order to keep women out. Women are the reason that there are not more women bitcoiners. When they see that it can benefit them, more women will join the cause. That is where you come in. Instead of running around and pointing your hateful fingers at every man in the world, how about you actually do something positive and help get more women involved? Or do you just want to spread hatred like Anita?

These are some good points. I think the 50% selection is not good, you simply need good people for the job - or to let people do what they want. I do not think we need more feminism now in todays society - rather we need to be ourselves and understand woman and men are different.

Online discussion of sexism or misogyny quickly results in disproportionate displays of sexism and misogyny

"Anita's Irony"

It is obvious you are speaking out of rage and not reason.

This thread has escalated quickly!   :P

But in all seriousness, I see no need to donate my money whatsoever  :-X

It's not about donating your money, but if you see a need, or a wish to be interested in the project. If you think it is worthwhile or just a wasted effort. Like do you agree like CoinMode that Anita is evil, or you think she is good, or maybe you are neutral about this or don't care?

Obviously lots of people have donated lots in kickstarter(the money donations escalated after the hate campaign she received). Kickstarter is not a Bitcoin friendly platform, but I wanted to see if there's an interest from this community, except me in donating to Anita Sarkeesian or her Feminist Frequency project. There are some people who think she has made everything up or they don't care to listen to her arguments because they already disagreed with one and it was too much for them.

Like
A "I think this project is worthwhile but I wouldn't like the project to accept Bitcoin because I think there are other projects much more worth my attention"
B "I think she has made the industry a worse place. I'm glad she does not accept Bitcoin and I hope she never does"
C "I don't care" but then why did you post in the thread?

Grasping sexual dimorphism and the subsequent gender roles is not "sexism and misogyny".

Anybody else seen Anita Sarkeesian's work in Feminist Frequency and liked it? (or disliked it)

That women are treated as sexual objects in video games?

Have you watched any of her videos?
You can find them here https://www.youtube.com/user/feministfrequency/videos

Of course they are.  Video games are based on the most stereotypical gender models, mainly provided and promoted by the media for the masses. Let's see what kinds of widely available female gender models you can see in the media:
 
- rich women/heiresses with the most scandalous lifestyle possible
- pop stars/actresses with same press friendly lifestyle
- bone collections (aka supermodels) with different mental problems
- someone who's being fucked by a famous someone else
- naives and some tree hugging hippies with innocent wondering eyes

...so mostly stupid bitches (or at least portrayed as stupid bitches). As these are the most well recognized female archetypes today, game makers will naturally use the same ready to use schemes. Go and complain for change at the tabloid media.


BTW IMO this topic should be moved into the Politics and Society subforum.

This thread is about if people in the Bitcoin community would like to be able to donate money to Anita Sarkeesian.

To keep being on-topic, let me ask you this. Do you think her project "Feminist Frequency" is a worthwhile project to donate Bitcoin to? Maybe a neutral stance or you don't care?

You're right. Anita is an idiot beyond reasoning, probably stems from environmental factors from growing up or mental illness.... her points contradict each other greatly.

It is obvious that you have no argument and chose to attack the arguer, me, with an ad hominem. This is a clear window into your lack of logical reasoning, which is ironic since you projected onto me that exact flaw. I made an argument that you cannot possibly refute, that Anita Sarkeesian is a con artist who prays on the guilty emotions of credulous individuals such as yourself and has made a small fortune doing so. She adds nothing of value to any conversation in society, and she makes feminists look like a bunch of hypocritical liars.

If you want to help women and feminism, then you need to stay far, far away from that horrible person.

Regardless of your opinions on modern feminism/sexism/bigotry, you cannot deny that she has lied extensively and continues to do so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6a57MjmpoI

She's a con artist. I'm sure she'll be happy to take your bitcoins.

You already know what my vote is but I sincerely urge you to look more deeply into the case of this con artist. She says things that she knows will offend people online, and then uses anonymous comments as proof that the world is wrong and she is the perfect person to help fix it. She starts online fights, fuels the fire the entire time, and then claims victim status just like all the succubi that came before.

Anita doesn't even play the games that she rants about, and the footage she uses was taken from other sources. You see her in front of stacks of games and people like you say, "Oh, look at all those Call of Duty and Battlefield games she plays. I bet she is one of the most hardcore gamers ever!" Then youtubers find clips from her videos in other people's "Let's Play" videos, matched frame for frame, and it is revealed the truth is Anita just buys or borrows games so she can take misleading pictures with them. Meanwhile, AVGN, Jon Tron, and several other niche videogame critics and commenters play through the entire game, often on the original console that it was designed for, so that they have the full context of what the game is about before they ever say a word about it. Jon Tron even beat Takeshi's Challenge [edit: he played it on the original Nintendo Famicon system that was imported from Japan], one of the hardest games ever made because of the hang-gliding section and no continues. Spoony spent over $6000 on a Commodore 64 set-up that included the tape drive just so he could review Big Trouble in Little China.

On the one hand, you have honest, hard-working people who truly love games enough to give them due credit. And on the other hand, you have an online "feminist" who doesn't even play games and doesn't understand any of the context about what she speaks. She is willfully ignorant, and a misleading liar to boot. I really hope you check this information out a little more before you get conned again.

You are going to answer every single point that I have made in this thread with a truthful response that is not misleading in any way, or I am going to make sure nobody ever goes to this message board again and doesn't instantly realize Anita Sarkeesian is a con artist of the highest order. Your choice. Be weak and run away, or be strong and admit that you were easily defeated and are now no longer choosing to believe a false narrative.

Cool it down. Have you overlooked the option to try to respect me?

Do you know that those who harassed Anita Sarkeesian had a hostile attitude? Even going as far as distributing her personal address information.
That's not a good or a nice way to get more people interested in Bitcoin, rather it looks like a good way to shoo away people from Bitcoin.
Keep it civil, folks.  8)

The video you posted shows Anita Sarkeesian saying she is not a fan of video games, does that somehow extend to all her future views that she'll have in her life? If you hold an opinion today, is that the same one you will hold in 2 years?

Anyway, the youtube video you posted, there she says the following:
clip1
Anita Sarkeesian "I've been playing video games since I was about 5 years old"

clip2 from Santa Monica College, California, 2010
Anita Sarkeesian says “I’m going to show you a remix that I just finished this weekend and no one else has seen [pause] One person has seen it … It’s a soundtrack of one song except I’m doing video games. So it’s not exactly a fandom, I’m not a fan of video games. I actually had to learn a lot about video games in the process of making this…”

Bitcoins101, is anything conflicting in the above statements?
You did not explain why she is a "con artist". Also a con artist is somebody who gains your trust and whom you give money to while you trust that you will get the money back(or even get more money back than you originally gave to the con/confidence artist)

Somebody giving money in a kickstarter.com doesn't expect the money to be given back to them. They expect the money to be invested in the project they gave the money to. So this "con artist"...you want to develop that any further?

Since you are so concerned to look for Anita Sarkeesian's past why not take a look at http://vimeo.com/13216801
"Anita Sarkeesian Visits Professor Melanie Klein's class_Part 1" and take it from the beginning until Part 3?

I would rather go to something more modern and serious though like her "Tropes vs Women in Video Games", specifically "Damsel in Distress: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6p5AZp7r_Q)"
That video lasts 23 minutes and 34 seconds. Can't you rain critisicm on that specific video and explain to me where she lacks, then provide citations so it doesn't end up in just ramblings on how terrible she is. I would rather you say why and provide references and sources. Then say she said this and that at that minute and second.

Real example for the Part 1 video: 0:39-0:52 "This series will include critical analysis of many beloved games and characters, but remember that it is both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of it’s more problematic or pernicious aspects."

This is an example of a comment to the above quote: "She says that we should enjoy games but also be aware of some problems like that women may be portrayed in a negative way"

Your turn? If you wanna link to another video do it, but also provide the minutes and seconds, what she said and then what your comment is on it.

That quote represents everything you said that has any value. You accidentally admitted that Anita does start internet fights in order to gain victim status. Side-stepping the issue by saying that the response she got was hostile does not make it okay to purposefully start fights in order to gain pity money.

As far as helping bitcoin, we are doing a good job in this thread by pointing out an extremely solid case of a con artist.

Your twisting of language is extremely obvious. Saying that you have been playing games since you were 5 years old means two things; You have been playing them since you were 5, and you are an huge fan of games. Anita has zero integrity, and now you are showing us exactly how much integrity you have when you can't even keep your words straight.

Here is a video explaining why Anita Sarkeesian is a con artist and why you will follow her like a religious zealot no matter what she does.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqJCCnued6c

You are not helping anybody with that hostile attitude.

Anita Sarkeesian received The 2014 Game Developers Choice Ambassador Award from Neil Druckmann (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Druckmann) the writer and director(1of2) of The Last of Us (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us). Here's what he said about The Last of Us:


The gaming industry is already changing. Is the Bitcoin community too, or being rude is more important than letting more people know about Bitcoin?

This tweet sums pretty much up all the hate this thread has received: https://twitter.com/russpitts/status/501836320097189888

This thread here received some arguments but not hatred. If you can't grasp the difference then I feel sorry for you. BTW the bitcoin community don't need to change. It's open and diversified enough. Members/newcomers need to adapt, adopt and improve if they looking for wider acceptance.

Just an idea: What do you think about not behaving like a sixteen years old basement dweller when someone doesn't agree with you? You know arguments and counter-arguments are not insults and differing opinions are not hatred.

I think that attitude towards me suits you well. You don't have to counter my arguments. You can think of me as somebody 'lesser' and thus you don't have to counter my arguments.

Anyway this hate-wave that she is receiving on a global scale is pretty severe. You personally got a comment on it? http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/27/6075179/anita-sarkeesian-says-she-was-driven-out-of-house-by-threats

In short, she is making waves around the internet and "gamers" wanna show their hate.

Very recently she published another video since ~Aug 25. (2014) "Women as Background Decoration (Part 2)"

In all the critisism this thread has received regarding Anita Sarkeesian, I've seen not one single part of a transcript part quoted. "Quoting sources" anybody?  ???

This link will take you directly to the Transcript of the "Women as Background Decoration (Part 2)" video: http://www.feministfrequency.com/2014/08/women-as-background-decoration-part-2/#more-20630

You are also able to find many transcripts on her tropes vs women in video games series.

Or just follow the example of Tim Schafer (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tim_Schafer&oldid=615995862)(Wikipedia: "Schafer is best known as the designer of critically acclaimed games Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, and Broken Age and co-designer of the early classics The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge and Day of the Tentacle.") on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TimOfLegend/status/504095132220526592


By the way, I think I've seen this person on Humble Bundle, presenting videos. Yes, that's it. I actually didn't know he helped in making full throttle a reality! Wow.

Not to mention Steve Jarros: https://twitter.com/SteveJaros/status/504227522423185409

50% of Pregnancies should be Men.

50% of Sperm donors should be Women.

I'm not hearing any Bitcoiner comment(or complain  ;D ) on Tim Schafer who said that Anita's work is pretty damn good. Maybe you now will all start to dismiss Tim Schafer[1] because he said that Anita Sarkeesian is a pretty sound person? We have lots of high profile people answering to Anita Sarkeesian, one among them Steve Jaros of Saints Row (http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/09/01/saints-row-4-developer-says-anita-sarkeesian-is-right-in-latest-tropes-vs-women-in-videogames-video/). 'Saints Row 4 developer says Anita Sarkeesian "is right" in latest Tropes vs. Women in Videogames', article written by pcgamer.com.

Would you like to donate to Anita Sarkeesian?

Anita is a liar, a hypocrite, and she doesn't even like video games by her own admission. Her entire project is carefully calculated to milk money for cultural Marxists like yourself. She is a professional 'victim.' If you want to donate to her in bitcoins, ask her about it, but know that you are contributing to a con-artist and a terrible human being.

Also, Tim Schafer is an idiot and he's not the one conning people out of money. He's also not very talented, it was those around him back in the LucasArts day that had the talent. His own games are very hit and miss. By listing the people who support her all you are doing is exposing the people in the industry that have terrible political bias (and lack of critical thinking ability) and should not be supported. The game industry has been infiltrated by their kinds and they need to be purged.

Quinnspiracy Theory: White Castles and Ivory Towers






http://youtu.be/Km3DZQp0StE

                                                                                     ...Pure corruption...

No one is going to donate to this crap "feminist" who's doing these videos just to make money and publicity(5 mins of fame).

I have the feeling a lot of women in the game industry are disgusted to know they are represented by those addicted selfish attention creatures... But what do I know, being a male and all...

I had no idea who this woman was, but after a little reading and looking at her website I can tell you she isn't doing any favours for female gamers at all.  In fact, I really think she is going to have the opposite effect.  Do I think there is gender bias in video games?  Of course I do, but that really comes down to the lack of female developers out there.  Does the money going towards these videos do anything to fix that?  I really doubt it, it's designed to upset female viewers (making them feel victimized) and offers nothing constructive to them.  If you want to attract women into video games, why not show them clips of games that would appeal to them, instead of horrific acts of violence towards women?  She could instead put that money towards helping women get involved.  That's more constructive I think.

I notice the games she picks are very specific genres that are supposed to be violent and cater to a certain audience.  They are not representitive of video games as a whole. Her one example of a non-violent game (well relatively... I guess stomping on heads is sort of violent ;P), Mario was very weak... and offensive towards Princess Peach.  Yes, she plays the damsel-in-distress, but that doesn't make her "useless" and if she had played the Mario series, she would know that you can play as her in quite a few of the titles.  You are encouraged to play as her on certain levels as she has her special floating ability.

What does Anita expect her end goal to be? Censorship of these games? As an artist I feel this would be the most deplorable option.  This is not going to help women gamers at all, it will only garner resentment.  There are seriously a lot more options out there that she fails to bring up. 

I can think of a lot of examples of popular games where there are strong female leads/characters, the Metroid series, Final Fantasy series(also has a lot of effeminite male characters), Tales of Xillia/Symphonia, Tomb Raider, Chrono Cross & Trigger, ...Balloon kid... XD.  Right now I've been playing Civ V with my husband and they have lots of female leaders you can choose from which is pretty cool.

So I guess my main point is, I would not donate any Bitcoin to this cause and you probably shouldn't either.  Anita fully admits that she doesn't like video games, so it's kinda difficult to take her seriously on this topic.  Spend that money on a video game that deserves it, not some crummy made videos. ;)

Anita Sarkeesian suffers from a victim complex, and blames the hostility towards her as sexism, when in fact it's because what she says is mostly badly researched bullshit. She's an attention seeker, and uses the "bullying" against her to promote her projects. The abuse she receives from spouting this bullshit just makes her feel vindicated that everything she says is correct. Because you attack me, you're proving my point.

Feminists should distance themselves from her, because she truly gives feminism, as well as female gamers, a bad name.

Anita Sarkeesian said that 3 years ago. It looks like you assume that what somebody(anybody!) said 3 years ago holds true for all eternity in the future. If I talked about 3 years ago how much I hate eating biscuit chocolate and how horrible the taste is, but the last 6 months I talk about that the taste isn't that bad after all, that I gotten used to it and that it is actually one of my favourites as of late, would you just continue ranting on that tjohej hated biscuit chocolate 3 years ago? Or say I hated Bitcoin 3 years ago, but the last 6 months I love it.(ie. a cryptography enthusiast explained to me in detail how it works over 4 hours of Q&A and everything I had doubts for got answered at that time so I became passionate about it ever since)

So how many of you had dads who were in the tech business, and let you grow up with a lot of technology at a young age? Me from 4-5 years old...(had among other things some computer called QL if I remember correctly)
I don't say that you must have had parents working in the technology industry, just a curious interest from my side.

Except one of the major premises she used to get $160,000+ from people was to drive home the fact that she grew up loving video games and has been a gamer all her life. So your comparison doesn't hold up.

no thanks.

Hmmm... you just made a huge assumption about me though, but I won't take that personally. ;P I'm actually a pretty open minded individual and realize people change their minds, however I don't think it's logical for a person to dislike something for 20+ years then do a complete 180 with little evidence of such.  Why would I assume she likes them now?  What games does she like or advocate for?  Heck, she couldn't be bothered to play the games she reviewed for herself. Don't you find the way she presents herself suspicious in the least? Just look at the amount of scamming that goes on in this forum and you can see what people will do for even small amounts of money.  Scammers are involved in all sorts of charities, (have had numerous ones for breast cancer harassing me on the phone) in fact they flock to stuff like this.  It's important to properly vet any charity before you donate to them, especially ones that are obviously preying on your emotions.

As for the chocolate biscuit, if you don't like them you should probably stay away.  They're not very good for you anyways.  :D

Anita and her friend zoe are gamers. They do not need to be playing action packed games with a bunch of guys to prove they are gamers, but at least it would have been nice to have pictures and videos of anita enjoying herself playing anything. I would not even mind seeing her on her gameboy destroying tetris  ;)

The problem is not so much anita, but the lack of women gamers whose voice are not heard and have this anita getting so much cash for something she will never deliver, supposedly representing all female gamers being shut out from all those males, their joystick in hand. Have you heard of her kickstater? Not the success, but what happened after she raised all that cash? Then you have that massive black out on reddit with anything touching anita or zoe, shadow banning a lot of people (what an insane and sad concept. I hope this will never happen here)

If you were talking about that QL, then yes it was a beautiful machine. Too bad about that stupid microdrive tape-loop cartridge drive.

Feminist Frequency on twitter (https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/509473426663165952) mentioned the Humble Indie Bundle 12 (https://www.humblebundle.com/)(+12 days left) going on which gives the game Gone Home, if paying over the average with Bitcoin.

https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8314/7933311734_c9bf0b49e7_q.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/d63ibN)Plants vs Zombies vs Trolls? (https://flic.kr/p/d63ibN) by anitasarkeesian (https://www.flickr.com/people/22577152@N04/), on Flickr
Plants vs Zombies is a game I bought with Bitcoin on Humble Bundle inc. when the pvsz game got released for Android. I've played that game a long time ago on a mac, so since I couldn't have it for linux(no port) I thought this a good opportunity to get this game to my collection, on Android with the Humble Bundle app. :)

Any example/examples?

Anita Sarkeesian basically does an analysis of video games. From the video(7m30s) (http://youtu.be/4ZPSrwedvsg?t=7m30s) released 2014-06-16 she shows:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/MassEffect2_cover.PNG (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MassEffect2_cover.PNG)
Mass Effect 2(rel 2010) where regardless of if you choose to play as man/woman the player character still finds it entertaining to watch a 'stripper woman' perform before him/her. I've linked directly to that scene above but I put a mirror link here just in case (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZPSrwedvsg&t=7m30s)(7m30s) you missed it.

This is not what I think at all and makes me sound closed minded (an assumption of the way I think). I did like your biscuit example though, 'cause it reminded me of how I began to like olives (oh man were they awful at first)! :D

As for techie parents, I had none of those. Every year I go home there is something computer related to fix. XD
My brothers played a lot of video games though, and I assume that's how I got interested in them. Was difficult to get my female friends to play them, but they did try.  I think Mario Kart probably garnered the most interest.  I like supporting Nintendo for this reason, as their target audience seems to be more inclusive in general.

The problem is not so much anita, but the lack of women gamers whose voice are not heard
Any example/examples?


Not enough female gamers are visible on youtube or anywhere else. That is my position.

I wish lauren from tasty pc's youtube channel was more into playing video games for example, not just hardware. I am a dude and I think she is pretty hot. But for anyone to make me watch a video about reviewing a mini pc keyboard for more than 15 min means genuine talent and brain power, not just a sexy look. She is all female, wears pikachu ears and can build some mean pc rigs without destroying her sweet polished nails. I love it. Too bad there are not enough women like her. And less like anita.

Anyway if this thread's number one goal was to push the bitcoiners to know more about the "anita brand" I believe it was a success. Personally I did not know her until the zoegate. Thanks to zoe I was introduced to anita. Thanks to you I was reminded how to be careful with their investment. And for that I am grateful  ;)

Free plug for lauren. She would need the bitcoins more than those gamergate creatures...

 http://tastypc.com/

Myself I'm willing to donate to her to show my support. The shit I hear about her being a con artist is just ludicrous. It is simple hate speech, not a serious argument. Most of her "critics" are unserious and don't provide any arguments. Some say stuff that go off-topic. Cause they know Anita has a point, they don't. Thus the shitstorm.

Find out what the Bitcoin community's stance on if they are "hateful"/"loveful" or neutral on if Anita Sarkeesian would start accepting Bitcoin. If they would be positive or neutral, in that case would they like to donate to her or find the option desirable. If they would not like to donate, where are the arguments? I mean arguments, not just "I hate her, I hate her, I hate her". Cause that's not an argument :D

Wilikon, it was soooo important for you how she looks? Maybe that makes you feel better about yourself. Nobody will ever say to you the following? "Wilikon's a real sexy guy, that's why I watch his vids where he talks about computers, just watch those sexy lips"

My lips are seriously sexy... But what can I do... I was born this way... And yes, according to Darwin and his theory of evolution I am not responsible for looking at a lady's ass or tits. This is Nature telling me the probability of reproduction and keeping my gene pool alive for many generations goes up when a lady looks healthy. I shall be disappointed if I learn Lauren from Tasty PC had a sex change in the past for example.

But what can I do? I am a victim of Mother Nature's Matriarchy...  ;)

Regarding anita, the free bitcoin market will chose to help or ignore her. If she wants to perpetuate the image of the crying damsel in distress stuck in a castle who needs magic coins to save her from a rapist looking donkey kong (that would be "every single male ever in existence") then that will be up to her and will be remember as such. A Forever victim... Unlike Lauren from tasty tasty...tasty..tasty PC... 8)

Bumping this again to remind fellow bitcoiners of the con artist that goes by the name Anita Saarkesian. Also, the creator of this thread has done their best to censor the conversation. They initially included a link to this thread from a different thread on bitcointalk, but one I revealed the truth behind the scam known as Feminist Frequency, they deleted the link from that thread.

Furthermore, the original poster has tried to isolate the conversation between themselves and me. In the private messages they sent me, I was told that I represent nothing that bitcoin is about. They also admitted that they would prefer to have the bitcoin space filled with smiling con artists than non-smiling truth seekers.

If you ever have a chance to work with OP, do not do it. They have proven themselves to be a supporter of scams, and they censor debate and send private messages in order to try and hide their failure at said debate.

All of her critics are serious and have a great point. Anita is a double-talking scammer, full stop. We have provided many good arguments in this thread, and you continue to ignore them and throw insults.

You'll go down with the sinking ship that is SJW fascism.

The SJW's Jedi mind tricks are breaking down... Or should I say Sith Lord's mind tricks?

My personal experience was I got a private invite to participate in this thread. The invite was polite. My participation was polite. If the OP believes there is a need to delete and censor any of my posts then my point about not trusting funding anita's project will be made 10 fold (to me as no one else would have seen it).

Like I said in my post yesterday, OP has been editing their threads and sending private messages in order to divert attention away from the debate. Calling anything "hate speech" is just the new method of declaring something evil.

"All critics of Anita are just using evil/hate speech!"

Then xir completely ignores the facts of the conversation, like how Anita says she "played games since she was 5 years old" and also said, at the age of 24, that she "is not at all a fan of videogames and doesn't know anything about them". How much more of a liar can you be? Those two statements are factually incompatible.

Maybe another candidate for getting bitcoins instead of anita?

According to twitter, it looks like Anita Sarkeesian was directly responsible for me being banned from twitter.






-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So according to twitter (and anita) Thunderf00t = ISIS... Wow!

Fuck Feminazis

http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=spiderwomans_ass

Honestly, no one really likes Feminazis. Other than other Feminazis.

Basically they're the scourge of the internet.
for fuck's sake please. Why would you even?

Use enough lube to get rid of all the sand.

Is it just me or is this whole Zoe Quinn conspiracy gotten out of hand? It's not like anyone really cares about gaming 'journalism' anyways

Yes. It is just you.

People, beyond gamers care about that multi billion $$ industry. If you do not weed it out now, it will be out of control, way worse than now. They, anita, zoe and the others were so brazen and open about this they thought they got away with murder, that no one would care.

And people want bitcoin to be involved with this fraud? Sure, they are free to do so. But this story will never die.

Who do you mean exactly?

...and who do you mean exactly here?

----------
Also do you think it is ok to compare somebody whose opinions you don't agree to as a nazi to further your own point of view? Also do you know what a nazi even is?

What coinmode said. :)

Third-wave feminism is a term identified with several diverse strains of feminist activity and study, whose exact boundaries in the history of feminism are a subject of debate, but are generally marked as beginning in the early 1990s and continuing to the present.
The movement arose partially as a response to the perceived failures of and backlash against initiatives and movements created by second-wave feminism during the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, and the perception that women are of "many colors, ethnicities, nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds".[1]
Rebecca Walker coined the term "third-wave feminism" in a 1992 essay. It has been proposed[by whom?] that Walker has become somewhat of a symbol of the third wave's focus on queer and non-white women.[2]
As political and economic equality has been granted to women in most parts of the western world,[citation needed] Third Wave feminists have broadened their goals, focusing on ideas like queer theory, abolishing gender roles and stereotypes, and defending sex work, pornography, reproductive rights, and sex-positivity

Now attacking the gaming industry. Third wave. Third reich...? Of course not  8)

Yet more amazingly talented women missed by the "feminists" in the game industry that should have been allowed to received bitcoins way way more than anita...

Junko Ozawa

Right, but what do you silversurfer1958 think personally? Would you like to donate some Bitcoin to Anita Sarkeesian or find it cool if she accepted Bitcoin in light of that the majority of Bitcoiners are men and don't find it very easy to welcome women as part of the community apart from their physical appearance?
Also why do you misrepresent the definition of what a con artist is? Are you supportive of bad language as an excuse for not having any arguments?

You are asking a lot of questions to the "bitcoiners". First of all, not sure how much you know about bitcoin but none of us can stop anita to scam people or to receive bitcoins for her scamming artistry for that matter. It does not matter if 100% of bitcoiners are male, no one can stop anita for receiving bitcoins. That was the main concept of bitcoin, still is. Unlike paypal, visa, etc.

Since when males do not welcome women for their physical appearance? Feminists are always critical of males BECAUSE they believe men only judge women on their physical appearance. Are you saying anita is an ugly female and that is why she is not welcome here? Interesting. My maleness would judge her as welcoming enough, based on her physical appearance only.

Now most human beings (males and females) can't stand crooks. Asking to help a crook is ugly, even if that crook's physical appearance is welcoming enough. There is no need to go "nazi this or nazi that" really. We have her own statement from her own mouth.

It is very difficult to insult a whole community of bitcoiners while asking that same community to give their bitcoins away to a fraud, anita that is. I respect your hard work   ;)

Why is she a scam artist? Willikon?

Crooks are people who have no life but to threaten Anita Sarkeesian just because she has a different opinion. Low lives.

Education is good: "Anita Sarkeesian, Feminist Frequency - XOXO Festival (2014) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah8mhDW6Shs)"

Ignorance is not.

So, just quote me once where you interpreted me as asking for money.

She claimed to be a gamer all her life. Then she claimed she never liked game and had to do research to learn about gaming ON VIDEO TAPE. All over youtube.
Long live people with a different opinion. I may dislike some opinions but I can tell the difference between 'opinion' and 'lying'. Anita was responsible for her own falling down. Do I believe some people are jerks? Do I believe some jerks love being anonymous on the internet? Yes to both.

Also 'yes' to believing what anita said when telling the truth not being a gamer, never liking video games. She told the truth. She could have said the same thing (the truth) while being a 'journalist' reporting on the game industry. Instead she lied, asked for money, abused the gaming industry and now plays the damsel in distress, waiting for a donkey kong to save her from all those evil gamers...

As I said... I respect your hard work. You want the bitcoiners to give their bitcoins to anita and her fraud-cause. As far as accepting bitcoin she can create a coinbase account and... DONE! People will be free to donate or not.

Why can't you do it for her? You could swear all the bitcoins proceedings will go to the good cause. Just like when anita did with her kickstarter campaign...

That is what I don't get. You do not need us for anita to accept bitcoins. So what keeps you from starting a real campaign? What I say in this thread does not matter. No one can force anyone NOT to send her bitcoins...

Thanks for the links.  Never played the KH series and did not realize the composer was female.  Square-Enix really does have some amazing music and am happy to hear that they hired a female composer.  Listening to the soundtrack now and it sounds beautiful!

You are welcome  :)

lmao, I actually looked at the thread title and when I saw the name and who she worked for immediately went "Uh oh" now along with terrorists, paedophiles and drug dealers Bitcoin users are now a part of the matriarchy movement!

Hurray! :D

Can we have a real feminist organisation I can donate to posted up please? One that actually supports equality?

Are you going to explain why you think so or do you just want to communicate your feelings on the subject?

So far bitcoiners hate women because they do not want to support anita and bitcoiners reject women for the body parts, not looking like men body parts, or something like that...


The cool thing about bitcoin is this: don't ask for permission. Create your own org. Done.  :)

@op Nice troll, 8/10 :D

Anita Sarkeesian has said that the most radical thing you can do when listening to a woman talking about experienced harassment is to just listen to it.
If you forcibly stop listening to somebody and are just ignoring then clearly you should not be posting here.

Ignoring a topic, posting an off-topic response  and trying to derail a thread is just shooting yourself in the foot(making yourself look stupid). Don't come here if you can't make any written response that makes sense instead of "Hey, I'll insult the OP because that happens often in this thread"

Start by saying why you think it isn't worthwhile, or is worthwhile to donate and state your reasons.

"She's a con woman" or "she mindcontrolled her kickstarter fans into giving her money" are not really serious and will just make you look stupid.

tjohej, this is all you need (although I have the feeling you already knew about that video?). I am NOT a fan of this third wave feminist movement. But I believe you could find better people than anita to represent your cause. She is manipulating people like yourself and will never admit doing anything wrong. You will go down with her. Every year more and more people with diplomas are in need for a cause. Anita is damaged good. Gaming journalism got burned thanks to her (and her sidekick zozo quinn).  Get someone else to represent your idea. She does not need your support. I'd rather send my bitcoin to you... Unless you are anita :)

On another level, personally I prefer her to be vocal everyday to define what that new feminism is all about. I want her to remind us of the evil patriarchy over, and over, and over, and over again. She is painting everyone who supports her with a gigantic brush with bright red paint and I believe this is good for everyone else.

My "cause"? https://i.imgur.com/hKdjh4u.jpg
“This is a warning to all staff and students at Utah State University" turns up results on web searches.
Also notice the word "speaking".

This thread is about Anita Sarkeesian and her project Feminist Frequency if you haven't noticed. This is no cause of mine other than to bring up the topic, but since you and many others have failed to understand this maybe you could post in some other thread where you productivity is greater. Bitcoin needs you in those threads. It's better to avoid posting in threads that you don't understand the meaning of or aren't interested in.

I'm asking the Bitcoin community, is there anybody out there that finds Anita Sarkeesian's work valuable and would you like to donate to her in Bitcoin? (as stated before you can say why you would like to donate[if you think it's obvious why, then you don't need to specify the reasons] or why you wouldn't like to donate and your choice if you want to tell the community why.

The reason I started the thread was to see if somebody in the Bitcoin community is interested to donate to her cause, especially after her popular series "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games", so this is an after completed work donation. She has already finished the work and I would like to know if anybody in the Bitcoin community finds that work valuable in some way(like creating more interesting games rather than killing games by just repeating known stereotypes Ad nauseam)

Where's YOUR gain in defending and trying to raise even more money for a con artist?

Go create a ponzi or something.

Yes. This is your cause. Not anita's.

If you check my history I am able to comment on many subjects including this one. I am well aware of the topic at hand. Now I tried my best not to look like a troll to you. But this thread is your house. The host, you, politely asked if I was interested in participating in this thread in a private message. I was invited. I never hang out in the project dev. sub. Not my thing. I have nothing to sell. Yet. Anyway I believe you mind is made up about people like myself and I understand you not wanting me to participate in your thread anymore.

Before people like myself get lumped up with some insane anonymous threat to a nobody like anita (who's afraid of a State respecting the Second Amendment the way it was intended), time for me to stay away from here.

The purpose was discussion. So how does that threat message look to you? Nothing special?

You just lumped yourself together with it. I only mentioned the threat as an example cause you act like I "started all this", damn arrogant when a whole lot of Bitcoiners jumped on me just for posting about it. Open your minds people, anyway if you were closed minded how come you managed to see the greatness of Bitcoin??

Now on another thing. I've not seen anybody in the bitcointalk community say a positive thing about it, so as it is now "pre Nov 2014" there is no interest so me asking her if she would like to accept it, she would just tell me to google for "Anita Sarkeesian Bitcoin" and I would be linked to this thread. This is what the Bitcoin community thinks about Anita Sarkeesian "pre Nov 2014".

Though times change, as will Bitcoin prices as well when they skyrocket one day and our community automatically expands to new reaches. Then may be a time to see what the community's standpoint is then. Until then I'll also want to gather any info in like a tutorial on how to store Bitcoin on more than one Bitcoin addresses.(it's already possible now, so I can focus on documenting that somewhere, or find a tutorial which may exist somewhere)
Security for the cost of convenience when storing serious Bitcoin money.

Well - I am also ready to receive donations in BTC, no problem  ;D
PM me and I will send you my BTC wallet address  ;D

Did you say not one bitcoiner had anything positive to say about anita on bitcointalk? Your hard work here is even more amazing yet so futile. Not sure if people are attacking you, or attacking the reason why you want to defend such a rotten fruit, anita.

If you want to help anita accepting bitcoins go to www.coinbase.com. Open a wallet. Done. This is so simple.

If you open your mind you'll find a lot of people with a lot of bitcoins liking anita for whatever warped logic exist beyond bitcointalk.org (just like the Loch Ness monster exists)

Our mind is open. People from all political horizons understand bitcoin through their own prism. This is the reason why no one in this community will trust anita with their bitcoins, pre or post nov 2014, pre or post nov 2015, pre or post nov 2016, pre or post nov 2017, pre or post nov 2018, pre or post nov 2019, pre or post nov 2020... until the last bitcoin has been mined.  :)

I think it is pretty funny how you show up to one of very few remaining male oriented spaces (gaming now under attack from people who don't even play them) and ask us for the resources to destroy those spaces for everyone, male and female, by infecting it with destructive infighting for personal gain.

This thread is flame baiting to the extreme for no other purpose to elicit reactions from this community so that you can then log the most offensive comments and pretend as if they represent the entire community, following the formula of Anita Sarkeesian, then use it as a form of extortion against the Bitcoin community to bow to this disingenuous social movement.

This has absolutely nothing to do with equality and everything to do with extorting other groups, industries, and individuals into serving as your platform for "social justice", but at the expense of everyone else. Any male oriented space is now a target, which is why you are here. This strategy is right out of the works of Karl Marx. This is not a struggle for social justice but a struggle USING social justice as a cudgel to achieve political, financial, and social ends that would otherwise be unpopular.

Anita Sarkeesian is to feminism as a maggot is to a carcass. She doesn't represent feminism, she infests it and feeds off of its corpse while squirming around under its skin pretending to be it.

I stopped there. You think this is only a space where males are welcome? Bitcoin only for men? https://twitter.com/magaFirst/status/497118604803190785
Listen to Wilikon. There are people from a lot of spaces. That means there come a lot of different opinions and as the community expands more voices heard/read.

0/10

Instead of posting offtopic/derailing can you tell me why you think she is a con artist?

YouTube, "sarkeesian busted", "sarkeesian debunked", etc.pp.

Because you are too angry to even be able to explain exactly why you feel this way?

Maybe you should watch some of Anita Sarkeesian's tropes vs women in video games.

No, because facts don't change when you repeat them over and over again, so there no need for anything except linking to people who have already done the great work once.

I think a bit of Trust no one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33835.0)(but yourself) will do some good. We also have Mycelium for Android. If I let Coinbase store my money then I treat it like a bank. Why not use Bitcoin's decentralised nature instead?

Because you are too angry to even be able to explain exactly why you feel this way?

Maybe you should watch some of Anita Sarkeesian's tropes vs women in video games.

You didn't link to anybody specific, you only told me what to search for. Maybe you should do your own research. This is what I found after searching for the first search term you suggested: Thunderf00t - Busted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N-tkrxAEWw)
Checkout video by L0G1C B0MB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N-tkrxAEWw&t=12m4s)(Thunderf00t speaks from 12m4s and L0G1C B0MB replies at 12m17s) and it ends at 13m1s. It shows the strippers in Watch Dogs(2014) which thunderf00t claims are 'not being objectified' which is a show of plain ignorance.

Usually one finds too many videos by searching on youtube on whatever search term so better be specific rather than not. Also Anita Sarkeesian has subtitles for all her tropes vs women in video games so criticising her is not difficult, though nobody in the thread managed to do it(yet).

Ok, so let me get this straight....

You are not only criticizing a statement you didn't even bother to read (geeze I wonder why you didn't take a moment to read it, maybe so you don't have to reply to a totally cogent counterargument?), but you are also taking quite a justice with rephrasing my words to what you THINK they mean, not what I actually said. You have a right to an opinion, just not my opinion sorry.

At no point did I ever say this is a space for "only males", in fact I explicitly pointed out you are ruining this space for females as well by supporting this divisiveness. The thought of a male oriented space is so threatening to you the simple mention of a space where males feel comfortable makes you lose your mind and ramble on with words that were never even spoken.

You have a lot of nerve coming here telling everyone else they should listen to you when you don't even bother reading what everyone is telling you here. Women in general are welcome here - you specifically, are not. Not because you are a woman but because you are disingenuous, willfully ignorant, and a destructive force to this community. After all if it doesn't serve your perception of feminist ideals, what right does it have to exist?

It is you who claim any division.

I'm merely asking if anybody is interested in donating to Anita Sarkeesian. She doesn't accept any Bitcoin. She has visited DICE offices. Do your own damn research: https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/251735220292820993
On another note, do you consider yourself a gamer and have you taken offense that Anita Sarkeesian has/(or is) considered/considering herself as a gamer?

Men and Women and whatever past, present and future subcultures of humanity which may not identify with neither, right?

Stop focusing on my person. It is getting predictable. Focus on my arguments please.

I am not sure how stating a fact that this is currently a predominantly male oriented space (considering most of the forum members are male), makes this "division" mine to claim.

I don't really care if she has visited DICE offices or that she wants my money. You feel free to stand by her. I do not. Additionally it has been made very evident Anita Sarkeesian is a "gamer" only because it is a convenient platform for her to inject her disingenuous social movement into a predominantly male oriented space, poisoning this form of entertainment with divisive infighting, for women as well as men.



I will respond to this statement when it is in properly formatted English (not a double negative).

That is exactly what I am focusing on. I am comparing your arguments with Marxist theory, not calling you names.

P.S. Please do not PM me I prefer to communicate with you in public. You seem to have trouble with quoting me properly in public, I am not interested to see how far out of context you might take a statement in private.

not donating anyways to fight my own gender lol ???

Invite anita in this thread. Point it to her. She is welcome as most of us are vaccinated, and will wear hazmat suits just in case...

As a real troll, she just blasts out her nonsense, enjoys the show and counts the money that suckers give her.

She's a disgrace for every modern woman and academia. Disgusting.

...now send me your Bitcoin

Anita has a purpose on this planet. Her purpose is to beclown the third wave movement she represents. The more she is exposed, the more she pushes back, the more she destroys that new feminism by a thousand paper cuts. People like the OP is incapable of seeing the bigger picture and will go down on board of the SS Anita, hit by an iceberg of common sense...

SS Anita stands for Steam Ship Anita, as in SS Titanic. The SS Titanic was sunk by an iceberg in... 1902?. I wanted to make sure my little joke was clear as I do not want the OP to believe I was calling anita a nazi and that she was sitting on top of anita's shoulders while hit by an iceberg called "common sense". The OP was surely born after 1902 so she may not have known that fact about that ship called SS Titanic. Hope that clarified everything  ;)

OP's disappeared! Amazing how one can go on the money grab in an pseudonymous space using gender when everyone here has no concern with race, color, sex and physical appearance! This is a truly free space (mods excluded) and should be left as such!

So on that note I'm raising funds to raise awareness of discrimination against every group in society, please pm me for my btc addi and you have my word I'll put the funds to good use!  ;)

I didn't even notice this "summary" until now. You might want to change "on women" to "on con artists" or "on idiots". Noone hates Sarkeesian because she's a woman. She's hated for being a dishonest idiot.

Edit: In fact, this added "summary" highlights the fact that this whole thread stinks of troll. Incite flame, then claim the hate is against women. I wouldn't be surprised if the OP is Sarkeesian herself, LOL.

Can someone please run an analysis on her text syntax and grammar for correlation with Anita Sarkeesian please? This thought also crossed my mind.

Yes. It feels like I wish the OP was anita, but I doubt it. Anita is too busy getting chased out from universities to be bothered in a little thread. The idea is fun though :)

I think you give her far too much credit. Now that we have had your OPINION, can somone actually run the text?
http://www.returnofkings.com/42602/did-anita-sarkeesian-fake-death-threats-against-herself?

Stop derailing this thread. You are completely offtopic. Make your own threads.

Ok, you won't donate to Sarkeesian, we got that point. Maybe you will donate to one of her opponents? Then start your own fucking thread but don't derail and go offtopic on other ones.

Care to address the evidence, which is completely on-topic given the con accusations?

You say it's derailing because it's most likely the truth.

UMAD? This is VERY on topic. You are asking for donations for a person involved in fraudulent representation of herself. This information is very relevant.

Note: as far as the text style correlation, there was some but not enough to be conclusive. The software I found is very limited. I am still asking for anyone more educated on this topic than me to compare the writing styles of the OP and Sarkeesian.

The information is about the old threats. The new one is a fucking school shooting and you have nothing to say.

This thread is slowly making me realize how much I shouldn't support feminists.

School shooting? Now who is off topic?

I LOL'd.

PS: Cue the "He laughs at shooting threats" in 3...2...1...

I would recommend not donating mostly because of false representation. I've seen some of the videos and most of the arguments she presents are cherry picked and she sometimes goes to great length to bring up unsubstantiated points. She also makes use of gameplay footage from other Youtube channels. Considering how much she raised for the Kickstarter, there's nothing stopping her from creating her own content. Oh well.

Who can be described as an anita's opponent? Any names? So far it seems her opponents are people who are against liar. That's a lot of people, males and females, and others

This thread is very useful to expose the third-wave feminist mindset and so called logic.

If she is such a great gamer why can't she show us her game play and the things she hates WHILE playing?  Why the need of stealing other people's video with no credits to them?

source: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/oct/22/utah-state-university-defends-handling-gamergate-anita-sarkeesian-threat

And this invalidates the earlier exposure of her sending herself death threats on twitter via a shill account how?

"Being a gamer" and "criticizing games" are two different things.

It's like the politicians would ask you to be a politician if you were to criticize politics. Not required to do a critique.

Here Anita is showed holding a gamepad in her hands (https://d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net/projects/136244/video-110886-h264_high.mp4)

She also holds some white game controllers in her hands. One in each hand, separately. What are those called? TECSHARE, no I don't think it's the instruments she used to warp your brains ;)

I'm deeply sorry and I apologize for everything I thought was wrong about her. Holding a gamepad is of course the pinnacle of credibility. Again, sorry.

PS: Or maybe not.

Was that English? So because I disagree with her my brains are warped (by her? wtf)? I think you need a mirror.

"Holding a game controller" and "calling herself a gamer" are two different things.

It's like the liar who would ask you to tell the truth if you were to expose her. It is required to be critical.

Please stop spreading this gamersgate bullshit throughout the internet to those of us who are intelligent enough to not give a shit about such petty, moronic arguments.

. Matriarchs like Anita accused games of objectifying women and other women like her push the easily manipulated major games developers to do something about it with political pressure

. SOME gamers respond with rage and death threats, Anita and several other gaming journalists respond by deciding that all gamers are misogynists and irrelevant

Meanwhile the rest of us are simply trying to have fun in life and play games and while the two sides are having a fight it's like you just threw something incredibly disgusting all over us by accident. Go fuck yourselves, nothing more annoying than two sides trying to drag bystanders into a fight that have decided they are completely right about everything and anyone who doesn't side with them is the enemy.

By the way, thanks for ruining what was left of the Dragon Age series, we need more indie developers to get rid of these horrid games publishers, I'll be throwing my support behind games like Elite: Dangerous and The Witcher 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqdGA8JVHb0

You didn't watch her video so you couldn't see what I explained. Mostly likely is that you are afraid that you will agree to some of her points which then will make you feel embarassed.

You agree with none of my points or the points of others here and you don't feel embarrassed. Why should I or anyone else feel embarrassed by your position? Most here are mature enough not to let internet arguing taking over their psyche...

She is not a gamer and conned people. She loathes gaming.  Everyone understands that. Does not matter if she is a female or anything in between. She is a fraud.







 

What no response to my comments?

Bitcoin is all about neutrality, opinions of others shouldn't affect you if you don't think they're credible. If you're looking to donate to Anita, or whatever else organisation, cause and political movement and you'd really like to do it through bitcoin you shouldn't hesitate asking directly.

Seeing that you're also interested to get an opinion on how successful it would be if Anita started accepting bitcoin donations... Well, things are simple, at least in my mind. Her videos represent a female audience and although they attract much attention in the internet most of her supporters seem to be female. Female users of bitcoin are a really small percentage of the total user base. Where do you think this is going?

Check the question "Q1: Why is there no criticism of Sarkeesian or her work?"

Quoting the PM I received from tjohej.

Great, I see you were able to mention a few notable examples that are not female. That doesn't really prove anything against the fact that most of her supporters are female. Doesn't it sound logical that the majority of the supporters a female criticising the depiction of women in the virtual world would also be female? There is no good reason to deny that.

If you were to have a look at her twitter followers, this would've been perfectly clear. I guess it would be even more clear if stats like her kickstarter backers, tumblr followers/hashtag users, youtube subscribers, website viewers were more accessible.

Oh additionally, bringing up wikipedia as a way to make the information you represent seem more accurate isn't always the best thing to do. And things are probably worse in this case. Wikipedia is publicly accessible and anyone can edit it. In the past feminist activists have been raiding wikipedia with mass edits in an attempt to inject feminism into Wikipedia.

You can't really stop about focusing on people's person instead of content. An unhappy user of Wikipedia? Guess you wouldn't donate your Bitcoin to Wikipedia ;)

To everybody else: You wanna contribute to Wikipedia? Take the hint that there's no "critisicm" section at the Anita Sarkeesian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Sarkeesian) Wikipedia article. If you find any I'll be surprised.

Do you consider that some people are censoring any information from the Anita Sarkeesian Wikipedia article? Can you provide sources or will this thread just continue with rantings minus backing up claims?

Wikipedia: a well known bastion of truth and high standards in sourcing.  EDIT:  ::) ::)

Indeed it is at times. But when it comes to political corectness and controversial events it can be as biased as the authors.

And since tjohej asked for examples...

Why wikipedia isn't credible in some cases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U26h7dazIO4
I guess you could also take the dogecoin and Antonopoulos incidents as other examples as well.

Feel free to look up for more sources if you dislike fox.

I believe TECSHARE forgot to add a couple of  ::) ::). At least this is how I read it but could be wrong.

Alani123, is there anything you don't agree with here?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Sarkeesian#Terrorist_threat_at_Utah_State_University

? Maybe you have some insight which you would like to share and improve the article in its factual accuracy? The talk page exists so that you can add your point of view + arguments. Maybe your part of the Bitcoin community is afraid of Wikipedia talk pages, generally :D
The most innocent of pages are talk pages, which is for discussions minus rantings(though you can rant, you are allowed to but it's not like your argument is gonna get any further with adding any rantings)

I like how this is progressing. We went from me being supportive towards you for wanting to persuade people you like to accept bitcoin donations to this. I don't have anything against wikipedia, I think it's a brilliant website actually, I too sometimes contribute to posts in my native language. What I tend to dislike from time to time though, is that some entries clearly lean towards a certain direction not being neutral as they should. The specific section of the Anita Sarkeesian wikipedia page seems to have included many sources, and it does a good job trying to back things written there. (It even managed to pass an anti-gamergate statement by containing it withing a couple of quotation marks. But that's another story.) It included 17 sourcing articles covering the same event to produce a paragraph of text, yet the official statement of the Utah State University police posted in their official website wasn't even mentioned once in this paragraph. And what was the title of that statement? POLICE: NO RISK TO STUDENTS (http://www.usu.edu/ust/index.cfm?article=54179)

http://gifsb.in/hat-tip/5ajbeWB.gif

Following a disturbing email received late Monday evening, Utah State University police and administrators have been working throughout the day to assess any level of risk to students or to a speaker scheduled to visit. USU police, in conjunction with several teams of state and federal law enforcement experts, determined that there was no threat to students, staff or the speaker, so no alert was issued.
 
The safety of our students and visitors is always the university’s first priority. At no time was there any imminent threat. The investigation is continuing.
 
The speaker, Anita Sarkeesian, canceled the presentation. She was concerned about the fact that state law prevented the university from keeping people with a legal concealed firearm permit from entering the event. University police were prepared and had a plan in place to provide extra security measures at the presentation.
 
All university business will be conducted as scheduled Wednesday.
 
BACKGROUND
 
Sarkeesian is a Canadian-American feminist, media critic and blogger who was scheduled to speak on the portrayal of women in video games.
A number of people at USU received an email regarding the scheduled presentation by Sarkeesian Wednesday at USU's Taggart Student Center. The email contained threats to Sarkeesian and those who attended her presentation.

Throughout the day, USU police worked to assess the level of threat with other local, state and federal agencies, including the Utah Statewide Information and Analysis Center, the FBI Cyber Terrorism Task Force, and the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit. After a careful assessment of the threat, law enforcement officials determined that it was similar to other threats that Sarkeesian received in the past.
 
Prior to the threat, Utah State University police were already making preparations for security as the speaker had received similar threats in the past. Enhanced security measures were scheduled to be in place, including prohibiting backpacks and any large bags.
 
Sarkeesian is the author of the video blog "Feminist Frequency," and she writes often about how women are portrayed in video games. In 2012, she was targeted by an online harassment campaign following her launch of a Kickstarter project to fund the Tropes vs. Women Video Games series. Extensive media coverage placed Sarkeesian at the center of discussions about misogyny in video game culture and online harassment.

http://www.usu.edu/ust/index.cfm?article=54179

You misunderstood. I'm asking your opinion on Anita Sarkeesian. Is that interpreted as asking for money ???

I never said you were asking for money. Maybe you misinterpreted what I said. Here's a quote from my first post here with the part that I was refering to highlited:

Anita didn't cancel the talk because of a bomb threat. She canceled the talk because the venue would not force everyone to disarm. She believed that an armed law abiding, audience was too dangerous to speak for, so she canceled the talk and made it look like she was being intimidated into not talking when really she is just extremely anti 2nd amendment.

What the OP wants to know is simple: who wants to donate their bitcoins to the anita's fraud?
The answer also is very simple: no one can stop you from doing so. Bitcoin is beautiful like that, but does not help you grow a brain.

Tim Schafer is one of the people who think that Anita Sarkeesian's ideas are worth building upon.

If we just focus on him and what he knows about Bitcoin, since he has appeared on Humble Bundle which accepts Bitcoin and here's his tweet from May 10, 2013
https://twitter.com/TimOfLegend/status/332901644809420800
I wonder if anybody knows if Tim Schafer now knows more about how Bitcoin works? On the other hand donating to Tim Schafer in Bitcoin might be more probable as Anita Sarkeesian has mentioned no thing about Bitcoin(no time with all the harasment going on) while Tim Schafer has(as can be seen in the tweet).
He's clueless as how it works and seems to be willing to learn more, that's positive in my view  8)
Anybody up for the educational introduction? ;)

No one cares. No ones going to donate to this lunatic....Christ...

You care by posting here, but what did you mean?
Donating to Anita Sarkeesian or Tim Schafer? (do you have anything else to add? hint: reasoning behind expressed feelings)

Yeah, that law about 2nd amendment passed in 1791. Good to have some background for us non-Americans...A law that has lived for more than 200 years of the right to carry guns and shooting weapons. I guess we Europeans are too "uncivilised" to have the right to carry guns as part of our basic freedoms.
Though TECSHARE I didn't know that the 2nd amendment say that you can threaten anybody you like. That's what happened to Anita. You claim somehow that the 2nd amendment gives somebody the right to threaten anybody they like anyhow they see fit, or you try to bring some message that all it had to do with was the 2nd amendment and nothing to do with threats. Maybe she didn't want to die for nothing. I think she should come to Europe more. She has come to Sweden multiple times. Also DICE is in Sweden, so yeah it has happened already.
More Anita in Sweden please! Don't lose your energy in USA, there people shoot first and ask questions later.  ;D

No...I mean no. one. gives. a fuck. about Anita Sarkwhatever. I seen her videos, she's ruining the point of feminism. Basically it's like a reality show. Everything she says is (stupid), and fake/scripted in order for it to be outrageous enough to get views on Youtube and money(That's how youtube cover stars make money, except they actually do something worth while and have talent unlike Anita Sarkwhatever).

You go donate your pennies to that idiot if you want, while sensible people just laugh at her and move on.

Anyway this is the most boring topic Ive ever been on. Point is Anita is fake, boring, lame, and ugly.

Bye.

If you are a Christian, please don't use that name in vain. Otherwise, don't worry about what I just said.

As for Anita and the man who writes most of the material for this strong and independent woman to bravely read from a teleprompter (McIntosh), I pray that they one day repent for what they have done and find a better path to go down.

What? You are saying that, not only she does not use her own material for her youtube videos, but needs a....... MAN!!!!! to help her write her material???  WWwwhhhooooaaaaaattt??? The horror!!!!!

I may consider talking to McIntosh about Bitcoin. I somehow feel he knows. That way he could redirect the donation to Anita :D
Why hasn't Anita answered my question whether she wants to learn about Bitcoin? https://twitter.com/PKBitcoin/status/532570946918711300
CoinMode your part of the Bitcoin community looks like a very anti-education part. Stop doing that. You can open a new 'we all hate Anita Sarkeesian' thread. This is not a thread where you can go rant blindly.

Obviously the point for you was that feminism is about women hating on men, not women posting irrefutable arguments on the internet about something incredibly important like sexism in video games. Haha, yeah!

This wiki is even better than Wikipedia ;) http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Feminist_Frequency

tjohej, care to answer this question for me? Why is the sexism in video games you're talking something important for you?

αλάνι, you're just another person focusing on me. Please stop being ridiculous. Do you even play any games, and what games do you like? Any ones that are covered by Anita Sarkeesian even?

This is in "Project Development" for a reason. People:
Focus on the subject matter --> Feminist Frequency

Also games are a part of popular culture.

Oh come on, that was far from being ridiculous. I'm not focusing on you, I had a simple question and you failed miserably to defend the legitimacy of your project. If you actually believe that sexism in video games is indeed a serious issue it should be easy for you to explain why you do so. Anita indeed goes far trying to prove video games are sexist and I'll agree that she ads alot of references and examples to her videos, you're entitled to believe what she says if you want to so I'm not going to argue about that. But let's be honest, there was never real evidence brought up that what is depicted in video games directly affects society, quite the opposite I would say. Several studies have found that violence in video games has no connection with violent behaviours in the real world. With the same logic, even if video games are indeed sexist, why would they have an impact on society? That's why I don't see this as an important issue. You think this issue is so important Anita deserves your donations yet you can't answer the simple question why? And I'm really sorry for going on attack mode here, but you could have simply answered my question instead of just accusing me for being ridiculous.


To answer your question: I do actually still play video games, usually only when friends invite me to but I still do. I often even play with female friends. To mention some of the games I played and enjoyed recently: League of Legends, Guns of Icarus Online, Ryse: Son of Rome, Minecraft and Hearthstone. I playied Super Mario back then, probably that's the only sexist (according to Anita) video game I played.

See? Answering questions ain't that hard.

This thread is not about anita or her fraud. This thread is not about getting donation in bitcoin for anita.

This thread is a social experiment to prove how sexist the WHOLE bitcoin community is.

The OP does not provide a bitcoin address, does not provide any explanations why anita would want bitcoins, does not provide any proofs anita ever wanted to accept bitcoins, does not provide any proofs anita is in need of money, crypto or otherwise, does not provide proofs the bitcoins will go to anita. The OP wants the most amount of bitcointalk users to feed into this experiment to be as anita, but for the whole bitcointalk community, to finger the bad apples in the community.

Go through every single post by the OP in this thread. It is not about anita accepting bitcoin but a need to know our reaction and somehow create a psychological profile of the whole community. Your question was a valid one about the OP. The OP's reaction makes perfect sense as it is about how you deal with the OP's experiment. The OP is not ridiculous then if you see the situation through that prism.

I am a willing participant in the OP's experiment as I was directly invited via a private message to be one of the Guinea pigs in this lab. So far it is fun as I know what is going on  ;)

My strap-on is just as legitimate as your dick, misogynists.

mailmansDOGE yes, Anita Sarkeesian in Cryptocurrencies (https://twitter.com/PKBitcoin/status/532856682620399616)
Now the only next step is to ask Tim Schafer.

Yes, I've taken up the task to teach her about the underlying Cryptography. So to stay at least ontopic on Bitcoin(yes it's called bitcointalk.org):
Can anybody with knowledge tell me what Proof-of-work system is used in Bitcoin and what is required from Public-key cryptography to transfer Bitcoin from one place to another one? (A. Elliptic curve B. Digital signature, C. Merkle Tree or D. Blockchain?)
Searching Bitcoin wikis is allowed ;)


This is the only tweet I can find of TimOfLegend which is related to Bitcoin.

To:
tjohej

Define "trolling"
define "insulting"

I don't care much for private messages. If you believe I am targeting anita unfairly say it here openly. I do not participate in your little social experiment much anymore.

And why do I get a message you sent to TECHSHARE in my inbox?


Fact: anita is a fraud. She was never a gamer as she pretended. No fuzzy logic here. Either it is 1 or 0. In her case she chose 0, thus invalidating everything she pushed after her lies.
tjohej YOU can be a much better advocate for your cause than anita. Do it for your belief in third wave feminism, don't do it for following a fraud blindly.

Fact: she can receive bitcoin if she wants. Anytime. But she rather get paid in fiat money it seems.

fourth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_feminism#Fourth_Wave) wave feminism

Even better. Much respect for you and what you believe in. None for anita the fraud... :)

Today I'm posting about the progress going on for helping TimOfLegend understand more about Bitcoin. I'm sending $5 worth of BTC.


TimOfLegend/Tim Schafer asked about how Bitcoin works a while back. We'll see if he has any time to experiment with it.

Maybe extend the congrats to Jonathan McIntosh and the crew?

Transcript available here: http://www.feministfrequency.com/2014/12/25-invisible-benefits-of-gaming-while-male/

Rational response to this video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQhWEOaQ-Fg

Why must we jump from sexism to feminsim ?

In truth both are radical extreme behaviours, rage of the beast.

Who is doing this jump and what has this to do with Anita Sarkeesian? What do you think about her and her projects? Did you see the 25 Invisible Benefits of Gaming While Male (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47-FMmMLy0) video?

Please take a hint from previous posts and take your time to research the things you claim before posting in this thread. I thought the consensus that was formed by those interested in the thread is that don't post if you have no interest in the thread.

Women's right to vote has it's roots in feminism. I don't know if it caught your attention. Sexism is about discriminating people based on what gender they are and in the more modern world also based on what gender they identify with and it is generally considered bad, unless you of course consider it something worth doing. I suggest you just do some research on the issue.

If somebody told you that your eyes will bleed or that your brain will be mindcontrolled by aliens after reading and learning more about what feminism is then they are lying ;)
Jokes aside, learning more about the issue can do no harm.

Sourced from
I hope that spelling mistake in the quote doesn't attract grammar trolls. Instead you can do something constructive like correcting that. If you are afraid of Wikipedia that's a good start to make an edit on. :)

This is not directly related to Anita Sarkeesian but as the thread title says "Feminist Frequency" which is the project created by Anita Sarkeesian and your misinformed "in truth they are" without researching facts.

The Magna Carta was passed in 1215, that is pretty old. Maybe we should scrap that too? You Europeans aren't less civilized, just subjects with no rights to self defense. You are dependent on the government to protect you (and furthermore not to harm you). History shows that always works well right?

The existence of people with a LEGAL RIGHT to carry firearms has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to to with the alleged threats against Anita Sarkeesian, although it is quite convenient how you segway between the two subjects as if they are the same issue. At no point did I ever claim people have a right to threaten her, and your statement to that effect is quite dishonest and disingenuous and clearly demonstrates to me your slanderous intent for anyone who doubts the blind worship of your idol. She CLAIMS she was threatened. The police investigated and found no evidence of a credible threat. She DEMANDED everyone be searched and disarmed. The venue declined. 

She claimed it was because of the threats, but in reality it was her fear of a law abiding armed populace. She is overly convinced of her own self importance that someone would want to harm her. Does she really expect every venue she goes to to provide exhaustive security searching every last person going in at every doorway? This is unrealistic and grandiose. Furthermore people are allowed to carry firearms all over the US. For the sake of argument even if the suspicious claims of her threats were legitimate, an attacker would not need to wait for her to show up at an event because in the USA guns are pretty much allowed everywhere. Additionally criminals don't care about laws or security... banning guns at a venue is seriously supposed to prevent someone from attacking her? That is quite a simplistic and almost childish assessment.

As far as I am concerned she can move to Europe, and you can claim her as your own. I look forward to your future attempts at putting words into my mouth and slandering me, because we both know you are incapable of having a logical discussion about this subject.

https://blog.torproject.org/blog/solidarity-against-online-harassment

At least the Tor project can defend people("especially women who speak up online") being harassed against abusive people. Tor is also a good tool if you are harassed. Satoshi didn't implement Tor for stupid reasons.

I only asked in the thread if anybody was interested in Anita Sarkeesian's work. You didn't need to post, and you certainly didn't need to rant Ad Continuum since me speaking shouldn't make you feel that you must scream that you think that Anita is bad just because she asked for donations.

Oh well, she's a woman. That's why you overreacted. Also I typed words here, that's also why you overreacted. If you really want to do something then open a fund for Jordan Owen 42 or Aurini or something. I think you should put me on your ignore list because I don't think your mind can process much of Bitcoin community diversity, but is rather limited to the "we are a Bitcoin boys club" mantra.

-1/10. Keep trying.

Am I "trolling" because you can't control your own behavior by spamming this thread with nonsense?

This is your first participation in this thread which is genuine trolling.

Is it me? Or is it you?

We are reacting because you turn EVERY COMMENT into a "sexist" one, and you slander people left and right putting words into their mouths and spouting other disingenuous topics. I don't care if you and Anita are women, that doesn't even factor into my reason for replying. YOU ARE A DISHONEST AND DIVISIVE PERSON. THIS is why you are getting a strong reaction from people here, NOT because you happen to have been born with a vagina. All I see is a bunch of dishonesty and slanderous attacking words out of you, not your gender. The Bitcoin community is COMPLETELY OPEN to women, and just because people here call YOU PERSONALLY on your lies does not mean women are not welcome. Sorry you don't get to go to a community you barely participate in, start slandering and accusing people, then claim the protection of the entire female gender as your shield, and accuse anyone who disagrees as being "sexist" or claim they are "threatening" you ala the Sarkesian model of casting her critics as sexist criminals. No one is buying it. Your problem is you picked the wrong audience for your lies.

That's sexism.

This is quite possible one of the best written arguments I've seen. I have to quote this and remember these facts. I am not for feminism, I am for gender equality, and what you said about the 50% really sums it up. Thanks for sharing

By CoinMode doing a strawman argument against what Anita says? He/she doesn't even post references. So is this what it is like to be a member of the Bitcoin community? To post nonsense not backed up by anything?

How is that sexism?

You'll find out about that after looking at your own sexist comment

So answering a question is too hard? BTW, if you project that comment onto yourself, do you see yourself as a Feminazi?

Thanks for confirming for me you have no ability to make a logical argument, therefore you resort to slander.

Not only is it sexism(your favourite topic seems to be talking about genitals) TECSHARE but your stupid and irrelevant focus on my person. You are the main source of Ad Hominem in this thread.

Seriously, your feeling of importance is way overblown. The fact that you have certain genitals is just that, a fact. Your reflex to cry sexism because you feel ashamed of facts hints at a deeper problem you should resolve, instead of trolling the forums with faux-feminism.

TCM, stop filling this thread with more shit. I have put you on ignore and I advice anybody else who want to follow this thread to do the same. Time to ignore people who only want to derail the thread.

It's like you go on a topic about Bitcoin and you start talking about Litecoin. You can't behave, go elsewhere. There's something you would like me to know, send me a PM. Don't reply to me here. Send me a PM, don't use this as an excuse to get your post count up.

If you feel you can't stay on-topic, put me on ignore please. We'll get rid of the Ad Hominems and can actually focus on the topic. The best would be to just leave the thread alone. Focus on the stuff you are good at and actually interested in(instead of jumping in on threads which you are just casually against, but genuinely not interested in)

You mean on top of the shit that you put there in the first place?

Since this is probably the only pro sjw topic in bitcointalk, I wonder why you people keep bothering. OP is obviously trying to push a certain political agenda that no one cares about. Either she's extremely stupid or she acts like she is just to get more attention. Either way she' has proven that she isn't able to take part in any constructive conversation.

Stop replying and she might realise how pathetic she is when she keeps bumping the single topic she created that's getting attention. She will eventually shut up once she realises that her message isn't getting through unless you people keep replying to her stupid claims. She will always use the classical feminist defense mechanism :

Oh that's sexist bring me more attention and maybe someone will support me against your harrasment.

I call it now, everyone that posts under this red line is an idiot.


_______________________________________________________________________________

This is my last message addressing people trying to derail, slander or just spam the thread. You will have a PM as a reply to your posting which I thought was offtopic/whatever.

If you disregard women and make them feel more unwelcome you are just making Bitcoin a more closed community, a male-only community.(that's an agenda)
That would be the extremest form of segregation, just telling the world that you are all about not letting more people know or learn about Bitcoin because of your personal self-restricting reasons.

If you can't laugh at yourself then you have  a serious problem.

By the way. I can also make colorful lines, grass is green, the sky is blue. I don't see it that you are any kind of inventor of them.(they are just markup on this forum glow=blue,2,300[]/glow[])
If you can make trolls put me on ignore or just actively discourage them from posting here you are doing bitcointalk.org and Bitcoin a big favor. Thank you!
Here's the blue line by the way. Interpret it as you prefer. Maybe it means that the thread actually starts after the blue line and that everything that was posted as a reply before the red line was just trolling. Or maybe it means that all trolls should take a shower(blue would then mean water) to clean them of all 'evil sexism', or maybe it doesn't mean anything just like a red line only means being a red line, duh.

After turning on ignore I see no red line no more. The thing with the line was actually quite useful. It keeps(or was supposed to prevent...) people from spamming this thread.

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2gl2ak/are_video_games_sexist_christina_hoff_sommers/ckk853g

Women and Men are not equal. Men are stronger than Women. Women are more considerate(empathy) than Men. Men are more dominant than Women. Women are more submissive than men.

Get it? What people(researches) don't want you to know, is the biological inequality between the male and female sex.

Feminism isn't about sprouting hate at men, it's about educating both sexes on the theoretical equality of both sexes. However, people like the OP of ths thread, Sarkeesian, and many others take it to a whole new level, where they hypocritically antagonize the male sex on everything in an attempt to uplift the female sex. That's called bullying or sexism mr/mrs/ms OP.

Instead of attacking every little thing that you see as sexist in your twisted mind, OP, why don't you go and educate people in rural communities and 3rd world countries, where sexism and violence against women is a really huge issue, and with that I say, take your hand and shove it up your hypocritical ass, OP. Thanks.

uh?
the more i dig in this forum
the more strange it seems.

btw not all video games are sexist
at least not the one and only game i like to play (it a combat flight simulator..)
but i didn't find many women (only 2 in many years of playing it on-line) who would actually like it !
is it because girls are getting dolls to play and boys leggo? :P
nowdays there are more and more women combat pilots and general aviation pilots

Ok, nice. What is your opinion on Anita Sarkeesian and her work? Have you seen her tropes vs women in video games or "women as background decoration"? This thread is about that. Not about the things you mention.

This isn't a thread about aviation pilots. It's about an individual called Anita Sarkeesian and her project Feminist Frequency who does videos about computer/video games.

Nobody here who knows what "on topic" means? Or as I guess too difficult a topic to answer, because lack of courage.

Do you know biology?

Do you know, that when men or even other women are given "pieces" of women to look at, such as just the breasts or buttocks, they tend the view the woman as a sexual object?

Did you know that? Did you also know that sexuality and arousal tests on women since the 1960's show that women are aroused by other women, regardless of their self-identifying sexual orientation?

Yea, so biology makes all your "feminist" points null and void, since not only men(straight men), but women themselves view other women as sexual objects.

Do you know that this thread is about Anita Sarkeesian and not biology? Do you also know that Anita Sarkeesian analyzes video games and not biology? Maybe learn a thing or two before posting.

No one could scientifically draw a connection between violence and games and suddenly, with sexism it's supposed to be the case, not because any of these feminazis did science on it, but just because they say so and they play the part of a pseudo-victim? Seriously, GTFO.

People getting pissed at your stupidity has nothing to do with you being or not being a woman or a man. It's got to do with you being stupid.

Femnazis are not interested in science, so don't bother them with facts, data and stuff like that. Like any other fanatics they are victimizing themselfs, demonizing the enemy and attempting to attract as much attention as they can for braiwashing the rest. Anita Sarkeesian tried to extend this sceme to one of the last bastions of manfolk but thanks to God she failed miserably. Certainly she and her followers don't want to give up on this "profitable" market segment.

You make no sense, at all. If a women's body is seen as a sexual object by both men(straight) and other women, what does that say? It's out of our control, it's something were born with, it's biological. It can't be changed. Your points make no sense. I wholly agree that violence against women is entirely wrong and should be condemned, but thinking a woman is "sexy" is not wrong. Would you rather evolution designed it so we thought of women generally as unattractive, sexually?

Exactly.

That's exactly what is it, profitable. They want to get as much attention as possible, to make headlines and make money off that attention.

I think that it has been already stated before that tjohej can't even assimilate the ideology she is supporting. I can't understand why people try to have some constructive discussion with her after she's proven over and over that she isn't even able to type down 2 different sentences without contradicting her own self or without going extremely out of context and derails to prove a point, but also fails miserably to do so. Let's bring an end to this thread. There's no reason to keep bringing it back from the dead since discussion here has nothing to offer.

Ignored for going offtopic and assuming stuff about my person. Go to the other thread I opened if you want to be ontopic. Being a good Ad Hominem candidate doesn't make it acceptable for you to post here and assuming stuff about my person without replying to the topic at hand.
Do you even know how to read a first post? If you are not interested you don't post in a thread, but feel free to ask whomever you want to close the thread. If the community thinks this thread is worthless then I assume it should be closed, if it is damaging to even mention "feminism".

It's sexist to insult others with the term "Femnazis". This thread started asking if you were interested in donating and you reply with insults. I have no reason to reply to you here and if you wanna talk to me do it in PM. Ignored.

People like Anita Sarkeesian are an insult to real feminists, stop trying to idolise her, I'm amazed you've kept this thread going for so long.

Yes darling, everything is sexist. Now fuck off.

To real feminists like yourself? Do you have data or you only want to rant? Feminist Frequency hasn't only received contributions from Anita Sarkeesian. Jonathan McIntosh has also contributed. Did you watch 25 Invisible Benefits of Gaming While Male (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47-FMmMLy0)?

Real feminists do NOT believe in what Anita Sarkeesian has to say.

She is a con person, who makes money from the donations of people who know very little about gaming, and feminism.
She has very little experience with gaming, most of the games shown on her channel are just unauthorised copying of other YouTuber's gameplay and just posting it as her own - in fact the game play has the exact same points as the YouTube gamers.

She has yet to finish here Kickstarter project, and is currently well over 2 years behind on schedule, and has only done half the videos she had promised. Apparently a big amount of money was supposed to go into playing and researching the game, but this cannot be true if she just makes blatant claims on random games. She somehow managed to also find something bad to say about Bioshock Infinite:DLC3 - that game and DLC pretty much supports gender equality.

I believe in gender equality, and basically equality between all humans (not in a communism way) - but she is a liar.

This woman clearly is spreading hatred for personal gain. I consider myself a male feminist but disagree with the vast majority of what she said. She doesn't provide solutions, only highlights existing and well acknowledged problems.

Now on the general topic of Women in Bitcoin which probably needs to be solved to some degree before Sarkeesian will even respond to any request of her addressing Bitcoin at all, is this:

Andreas M. Antonopoulos may not be a feminist but he wants women to feel welcome in the Bitcoin space(and I hope some of you do too, and are not only speaking up at Reddit but also here on bitcointalk.org) and that is worthy of respect.

This video "Q&A with Andreas Antonopoulos - Bitcoin in 2015 and beyond" published Jan 8, 2015 http://youtu.be/1DG98FH1qlo?t=55m36s links directly to the topic about Women and Bitcoin.

If you find any corrections or if you proofread or heard something in the video that was said and that isn't found in my transcript after 55:36 then please let me know so I can correct it, pm me about it then. "<helpmetranslate>" is one part where I didn't hear what somebody said so if you heard it please let me know so I can add it. I would like to get help so the transcript is totally alright.
I created this transcript myself since I didn't find any other on the world wide web:

@paulbuitink at 55:36 "we're almost running out of time but I'd just wanted to address the whole situation with women and Bitcoin, I know it's one of your hot topics Andreas <helpmetranslate> example where we don't only see guys but also female entrepreneurs and developers participating. We have Annet here so maybe you guys discuss among yourselves how come there is such a limited amount of women in the whole of Bitcoin sphere."

Andreas M. Antonopoulos at 56:08 "Annet, why don't you go ahead?"

Annet de Boer @BitKassaNL at 56:10 "Yes. Well I think it's in a way expected that women are in less numbers than men because I think the audience that attracts to Bitcoin are either way tech savvy people and in that area women are already less...visible than men and well we have the groups of traders that are interested in Bitcoin and I think that's another area where women are not so well represented. People who are looking to invest in promising startups for example, that's another area where women are not so well represented so I think the whole subject is the sum of all the parts where women will tend to be less visible than men, but they are there, I know they are there. I'm not the only one, fortunately. I also would like to thank you Andreas that you as one of the role models in Bitcoin have an active opinion on diversity and I saw your website that you don't even attend/speak at conferences when they don't adopt an anti-harassment policy for example and I think that's very good to raise awareness amongst other people, maybe make it a bit more welcome also for women to come and take a look"

Andreas M. Antonopoulos at 57:59 "Yeah, thank you so much Annet, I have to say that my experience with this has been rather disappointing because once I started talking about this topic I got two reactions: One was extremely hostile response from some of the male personalities in the space including death threats and threats of violence and at the same time I heard from literally dozens of women telling me about their negative experiences where when attending a Bitcoin meetup or Bitcoin conference they have been harassed, dismissed, ridiculed, sexually assaulted, sexually propositioned and treated in a way that is truly appaling and disgusting and awful. Part of the issue here as Annet said is that finance, libertarians and technology are already areas where women are underrepresented but there are also areas where some of the men in the space are actively hostile and/or exploitative and/or predatory towards women and what that means is that the experience of the average person who gets into Bitcoin is very different depending on whether they are male or female. Males who enter Bitcoin generally find it to be an exciting space full of opportunity and interesting people and women who enter Bitcoin go to these meetings and they are received in a way where they are objectified, talked down to, touched inappropriately, propositioned, asked for dates, commented on their looks, all kinds of behaviour that is really juvenile at best and dangerously predatory in some cases and for the most part the organisers of these events turn a blind eye, even when they are notified that these things they tend to re-victimize the victim and eventually push women out of this space so it's not just a matter of women being underrepresented, it's also a matter of this being a space that is actively hostile to women in many cases. I would encourage people if you have a conference, certainly if it is a conference I'm attending, I do not attend conferences unless there is not just a published anit-harassment policy but one that is enforced which has a reporting structure that if someone is being harassed or they experience this kind of behaviour they will report it to someone who is trusted, someone who will take action in a specified manner and will follow the policy that excludes the harasser and not punish the victim again. Most of these incidences don't go reported because the people who are exploited are not in a position of power in this industry and if they say anything they end up getting kicked out of the group. I think this is a relatively toxic environment. It has changed a bit in the last year, as Bitcoin goes mainstream, its value become more mainstream as well and gradually we are seeing more and more people from different parts of life: male, female, different races, different ethnicities, different sexual orientations, people from different social status or economic status joining Bitcoin. We are seeing the diversity increase gradually, but it's still very much a white male 30-45 dominated area and so we need to be aware of what image we give to the outside world and how welcoming we are or how hostile we are to those that are trying to join because Bitcoin only succeeds if we make it as diverse as possible. That's a topic I really care about and as I've said before I just simply about a year and a half ago I took a pledge and said 'I'm not going to any conference unless they have, and in force a sexual harassment policy'. It is very easy to do that if you speak at conferences, you should expect that. You will notice that I will not go to certain very large, well-known conferences happening and if you wonder why I'm not at these conferences usually it's because the organisers of the conference either refused to implement such a policy or make a joke of it and don't really enforce it or because the line-up is almost entirely male dominated. One of these conferences I went to recently took some of the best speakers in the space and put them all in a single panel called Women in Bitcoin. Here you had VCs and investors and lawyers, smart contracts specialists and all kinds of bright people who had lots of interesting things to talk about but they were put on a panel to talk about the fact that they were female. That's not diversity. That's a joke."

@paulbuitink at 1:03.32 "Let's hope that Satoshi is a woman then"
Andreas at 1:03:36 "I like to think that she is at a conference and maybe you'll meet her."

@JopHartog at 1:03:42 "Great"

@paylbuitink at 1:03:44 "Any more questions?"
Andreas M. Antonopoulos at 1:03:47 "I can tell you I get a lot of death threats and hate mail for saying that too"

@paylbuitink at 1:03:54 "Well I think it's <helpmetranslate> first it's good for the Bitcoin sphere also to get more <helpmetranslate> adoption and get a better ambience within the industry. Any other questions maybe from Annet <helpmetranslate> before you wrap up?

@JopHartog at 1:04:14 "No, thank you."

@paylbuitink at 1:04:16 thanks Andreas and then asks about Andreas book.

Corrections and help in the transcript is welcome.

Is this the woman who made a fairly large sum of money from a kickstarter campaign and then went on an extravagant holiday with her partner not releasing any content for almost a year after the compaign was funded? The same woman who was caught on video saying she was not a fan of video games but now claims to have been playing them all of her life? The one that previously tried these same tactics on the music and film industry but got no attention?

What a joke.

I got censored on bitcointalk.org.(a single post of mine that was deleted from this thread is a form of silencing of speech)

Bitcoin is going to need a lot of work. We're definitely not there yet.
What I've seen is a lot of misinformation floating about in this part of the Bitcoin community and it looks like any discussion of diversity here would fall on deaf ears. Well at least I know I'm not gonna try to discuss with anybody here because it's literally a "boys club".

If your post was deleted it was probably because it didn't comply with some rule. You should post in the meta board about it. And honestly, if you feel like everything you say falls on deaf ears, you should reconsider the way you approach some topics. Everyone agrees that there are not many women in the bitcoin space as it's a fact, but the way you talk about it makes people dislike you and totally miss the point.

Just to give you an example of how ridiculous you are at times: While you claim that bitcoin is a boys club you go around asking people if they'd like to donate to Anita Sarkeesian.

How wouldn't that fall on deaf ears?

Would you go to a forum dominated by black Americans and complain to them that they don't take you seriously when talking about some important social issue after saying that they live in coontown? I guess that you wouldn't. However, you don't realize that what you're doing here is something equivalent.

1. Troll with some wild bullshit
2. Play the victim by claiming censorship
3. ???
4. Profit

That's feminazis for you.

While I may not advocate her position in regards to gaming and sexism, I believe she has every right to ask for donations for any cause she sees fit, be it in USD or Bitcoins. Donations are voluntary, you don't have to donate if you do not support her position.

@OP Why don't you ask them directly if they would accept donations in Bitcoins? They have a contact form on their website.
http://www.feministfrequency.com/contact/

In my opinion, the more people accept Bitcoin for any purpose, the merrier.

Thanks for contributing the first neutral post on the subject on this thread. That it had to take 12 pages is slow progress, but still it is progress. I'm not losing my hope for the 1st decentralized cryptocurrency that was created in 2009! :)

Well if you are unsure I think it might be best to ask her if she knows about and/or what she thinks about Bitcoin.

If I encounter more fallacies I'll include them here. Attacks against my person is irrelevant if you attack me instead of my arguments.
Ad Hominem.

I see the way you have tried to seem polite but the fact is that you did not offer direct resistance to the arguments in the first 4 pages. This is worrisome because you approach a community seeking to get funding for a cause but are unable to defend it.

I believe this Anita woman to be very disingenuous, if you truly wish to get the Bitcoin community involved, try equal rights as a cause and find a good ambassador, this community is generally wary of requests for funds and since the majority are open-minded, if you brought a viable case of EQUAL RIGHTS, you'd get a hell of a lot further.

Another point i find unsettling about your thread is the way in which you choose to defend this woman rather than make a case for the cause. If i put on my tin foil hat i would say that this thread is either a feeler for another "Anita" or it is actually Anita herself looking for a new arena. If that is the case, i'd encourage you to stop right now... around here people don't take to well to such abhorrent behavior.

Btw if you do make a viable case of EQUAL RIGHTS, i am willing to pledge significant amounts of time and resources in a joint operation.

I must disagree. Stating someone's putative or real ideological background isn't sexist. Accusing someone with lying and profiteering also not sexism and not even an insult.

What do you mean by the term "social justice warrior"? What are they? How is a person that identifies as a "social justice warrior"?

What do you mean with "direct resistance"? An example of where I did not show "direct resistance" might be useful. You could also call my replies "replies" but that's up to you how you wish to approach this.
If you wish reference somebody's post and then an additional reference to the reply I gave.

Yes, that's an insult, yes a personal attack on me. Congrats for insulting me, well don't feel like you earn a medal, because your friends here have already insulted me first. Now go to some other thread and do something useful, preferably on-topic.

As for "SJW", is this your personal definition? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_justice&oldid=651319188
If somebody was overreacting it was most of you who reacted in anger about her and your claims that she has stolen your kitties and dogs by her speaking out on the internet about sexism in video games.

+ignored. Don't post offtopic things and don't insult others! Else you will be ignored!

http://time.com/3732203/the-30-most-influential-people-on-the-internet/

Chill out mate. She's just trolling here for testing our reactions. Perhaps we will be some nice charts in a diploma work or in a whateverology study :). Actually ever since I was a little boy I've always wanted to be a green bar, but she looks pretty mean, so probably I'll end up as a red slice in a pie chart. That will be terrible indeed  :D.

this topic needs to be moved to the altcoin section. I'm sure that's a better sounding board  ;D ;D ;D

I'll match your donation if she adds a BTC address (or a way to tip in her website).

Yes and I watched with anticipation when you first entered the thread, asking why people would donate to such an "extremist".
I don't think Anita Sarkeesian is an extremist in any regard. Do you think she is an extremist and is that the reason you now want to donate $10 in Bitcoin to her? Please explain why you want to donate to her.

If you are only replying to the title of this thread you don't have enough information to make an on-topic reply, so you first need to read my #1 post. Here I quote a part of it and underline what I think you should give extra notice to:

If I wrote a letter to Anita Sarkeesian where I mentioned that you insult me continuously because I even brought the topic up at the same time saying that you want to donate $10 to her, don't you see how absurd that is? Of course she will assume, just like you will assume and I will assume that you are only doing this to stop a discussion.

You have among other things questioned the validity of this thread being in Project Development and the reason is accepting a lot more people into the Bitcoin community and that means becoming more welcoming to people, not shaming and insulting them with nebulous terms such as "SJW".

Or is that what the Crypto-Patriarchy is about? Is bitcointalk.org a "Crypto-Patriarchy"?
I think backwards-stoneage attitudes are damaging to Bitcoin. If you don't think so let's have a discussion.
If you want this thread to stop existing then I believe you are beyond hope and that the only people you can reply to are "your own". Those who only agree with you, that could make you enter an all-offtopic era of posting here.

Ah, and the snake shows it's head finally, this is all you were trying to get at all along.

You will get no where... This is a free society and your attempts to "sound" us are ridiculous The is no Patriachy or Matriarchy here because noone knows who's who and noone gives a hoot. If you were hoping to have the same scammy success as that other person, hahahaha....let's see you try convince people to part with their hard earned money to support this.



***Grabs popcorn***

It's not like we care about one's gender or beliefs either. But OP's logic is so obscene that people here can't help but stair at him/her and laugh.

Published on Mar 31, 2015 is a more recent video of Feminist Frequency: "The Scythian - Positive Female Characters in Video Games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXmj2yJNUmQ)"

Want the Bitcoin community to shine a bit? Provide valid criticism(either positive, negative or both) to that video and back your arguments please. If the video is worth anything to you or if you feel it wasted your time then please say so, and please explain why.

Watched it. This video is a good one. She likes a game, she recommends it and she also provided some good reasoning. That's fine for me. I think nobody would have any issues with her if she would carry on with this kind of approach.

LOL.  :D  :D.
I really thought that by now people had realized that she is a con artist. And not a good one in my opinion, but she still got a lot of money out of people.
But any ways. Nice trolling all most fooled me into thinking you are for real.   

No, just learning about tropes.
This is from "Damsel in Distress (Part 1) Tropes vs Women"
This is from "Damsel in Distress (Part 3) Tropes vs Women"

I think it's useful for all Bitcoin members who have replied or are going to reply to this thread(in the hope of staying on-topic, and not shaming the thread as a form of "Bitcoin community acceptable replies"-thing) to at least having watched the episode "A Touch of Class" from the BBC television sitcom "Fawlty Towers", to sharpen your definition of what a con artist is. Mostly to avoid confusion, and watching a video to see somebody show how a con artist is by acting may be more useful than reading a  Wikipedia article, but in case you want to know that as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick

Did any of you before feel you began to trust her, because you liked the idea of what she might release with her kickstarter?(then you donated to her, afterwards you regretted it) In that case what did you expect her to do, what was your big disappointment with her work in regards to your expectations?

Published on May 11, 2015 is "Jade - Positive Female Characters in Video Games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCsu3YPOw50)"
Unfortunately the game Beyond Good and Evil™ is only for Windows so users of alternative Operating Systems(including SteamOS) don't have much luck, so I suggest you to watch a Let's Play of the game, instead of playing it in such a case.

How to be a feminist in a relationship. This guy should take Bitcoin, because it fits in the 'give what you want' spirit. 25 cents a week? In Bitcoin. I think focus should be put first on contacting Jonathan Mann. He takes donations for what he makes.

They both work. They don't need fucking donations. What the fuck.

Why do you hold such an extremist view? What did she do to you?

Trolling year-old posts because no one gives a crap. Hilarious.

Just wow. CoinMode said hypocrite though there's no backing of that statement. Hypocricy means you advocate for something and do the opposite.

This is not a good image for Bitcoin portraying us as childish, but you're giving it all in your holy crusade against women who speak their opinion?

Some day we will look back and think about those days where a bunch of 15 year olds made a "movement" where the main thing was screaming and barking at Anita Sarkeesian how angry they are that she has an opinion.
I agree to the advice: Grow up

Oh Jesus.
Don't donate to a scam artist. She has claimed to make so many videos with the money she already got, failing miserably with an extreme win to her donation on kickstarter. She fails to make even half the videos she promised.
Not even to mention the fact that her videos (the ones that she DID make) are blatantly unfounded and produce no evidence to her idiotic and broken claims.
Donating more to this con-artist would be stupid in a whole new level.
Feminism in whole is unfounded, layers of goat semen raining down.
Honestly, why would you even post this here.

I'm sorry but your video is unavailable. What can we do to know better Anita Sarkeesian, her's being "con" artist and to follow her like a religious zealot no matter she does?

She fails to meet any claim she makes?
She fails to give proceeds, as she claims to charity.
She fails to give information proving her company is a charity.
Every single one of feminist frequency's claims have been debunked. Not a joke.
Goodness, how about you head to Saudi Arabia and experience some real misogyny.
Or not, just put your patriarchy blinders on an die your armpit hair blue.

The point of this topic used to be about donating bitcoin to Anita. This thread was derailed to a point that it lost all it's meaning and even OP doesn't seem that active lately.

cryptofeminism, why not make your own post in the politics and society board.

Watch the video that I link to on twitter.com. Click on the youtube triangle and it should play  ;)

You should watch Women as Reward where Feminist Frequency analyzes the Metroid series. I linked to it for n2004al at the top of this post and I provided instructions on how to watch it.

Toni Lane speaks briefly about Bitcoin and Womens rights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58W9v8P-6VA)(Published on Aug 11, 2015)
Short transcript of her introduction:

Does anybody have the transcript or a video of that panel?

I'd be interested into hearing that talk as well. The bit from the interview where she talks about uploading your brain tot he blockchain is a bit crazy though. lol ::)

Yes, women actually play games and when they critique Anita Sarkeesian or praise her it's not a thing about dismissing her because of one perceived shortcoming(oh somebody got obsessed about Anita Sarkeesian saying in the past she is not a fan of video games, and then go 100% blindfold about everything she says) then putting on a blindfold and leaving the topic.

This thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/3kx46a/women_as_reward_special_dlc_miniepisode/) I henceforth link to suggest if you want to do proper criticism, do it bit by bit. Don't overgeneralize and then leave the topic and consider having 'won the argument'. Leaving an argument is not the same as arguing.


Now see what https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/3kx46a/women_as_reward_special_dlc_miniepisode/ have to say about Anita Sarkeesian's latest episode. I don't know if anybody from that space is even half curious about Bitcoin, and I don't hope it's about an unwillingness to participate in a discussion about the future of gaming.

This forum is about Bitcoins. What has gaming got to do with it and who said women _don't_ play games?


It's called basic integrity of a person. If you claim one thing and then another as soon as the money comes rolling in, it makes your motives highly questionable - especially when your facts are wrong most of the time. AS is a con artist.

You can stop desperately trying to keep this thread alive with off-topic and trolling posts. Most people here seem to be capable of seeing the bigger picture of this farce.

Edit: See the highest rated post of the thread you linked https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/3kx46a/women_as_reward_special_dlc_miniepisode/cv1l90a . Even they see it.

For what's worth I actually emailed the 'Texas Bitcoin Conference' asking for the transcript of Toni Lane's speech weeks ago, no response yet. I'm genuinely interested to find more about this speech. I'm thinking of contacting Tori herself but I'm not sure that would be helpful.

New DLC episode out! Published on Sep 14, 2015

In that article you can watch both her videos. Her newest one about DLCs along with the older one.

Here's a direct link to her Women as Reward - Special DLC Mini-Episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcqEZqBoGdM).

charity or non-profit?
Doesn't hurt to visit http://feministfrequency.com/ , does it?
One does not exclude the other in general terms, because charities are usually non-profit but non-profits don't need to be charities.

MODS Please move this topic to Politics

Girls Make Games
https://twitter.com/GirlsMakeGames/status/646806284793184256

alani123 and bitcreditscc, you advocate to move the thread, take it with the admins/mods. Posting off-topic about it in this thread is not helping your cause and is just plain off-topic. People understand you want to move the thread. As to why maybe it is because you have too many feelings on the subject matter so you can't get yourself to reply. Trembling fingers whenever you think about posting anything regarding Anita Sarkeesian? Maybe switch thread?

Maybe it's attitudes like this that make Bitcoin a public fool and makes http://girlsmakegames.how/donate.html see PayPal as their holy god? Where's the grassroots spirit? Leave the feelings out please.

lol that was really funny

As off-topic as games are in this thread.

If you happen to not know what to do for 4 hours, I recommend this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weZH3nR-pw8

I was only advocating that YOU cryptofeminism, would create your own post as I deem your replies here worthy of their own topic instead of replying to a post asking for people's help to make Anita accept bitcoin. This is merely a piece of advice, I'm not trying to silence you. Contrary to that, creating new posts to politics and society would even get you more views. If that's not what you want you're free to ignore me.

Just keep the distinction between what a charity is and what a non-profit is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charitable_organization. A charity is a type of a non-profit organization
girlsmakegames.com is neither a charity nor a non-profit (http://girlsmakegames.com/about.html) . Feminist Frequency though is a charity(a type of non-profit)
Maybe that is the charity part? Giving all her videos out for free, not just to the kickstarter backers. She gives it to you who haven't paid anything to it and by the looks of it post nonsense in this thread trying to throw shit at her. I'd suggest that you take what Feminist Frequency gives. Videos to criticize since that's what you want to do. Though you fail since you are drained down by your continous Ad-Hominem and spamming attacks on the thread. Attacking the thread won't take it down. Quoting what she says in a video may contribute on-topic content to this thread, so that's encouraged.

This won't hurt for background reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_and_video_games

My hope is that bitcointalk.org users can restrain themselves from making off-topic posts in threads where their feelings are "high" and maybe make their own threads for whatever they like to call what they are doing.

If you place a con artist on a podest, you will get reactions. Simple as that.

Nowhere have I seen any kind of actual scientific study whether the effects AS describes are because of the causes she describes. She's basically pulling stuff out of her ass and proclaiming it as facts all the time.

The fact that she provides her drivel for free doesn't make it true.

By the way, I've never seen the greater internet fuckwad theory expressed in such a good way. It's even better than the traditional one.

What are you talking about? Anita is not anonymous.

The gender gap in kindergarten workers proves that women oppress men and prevent them from being kindergarten workers.

Same silly logic. Show me a single scientific study and not someone talking out of his ass, who even has to formulate his articles as a question.

Anyone should be able to use bitcoin for any poursose.

It is the global currency, and no one should be able to limit it. AT ALL!

No one _is_ limiting it.

It's just some professional victims playing their oppression olympics. Nothing to see here, move along.

But then again, we also have the right to refuse helping in a campaign to make bitcoin appealing to radical leftists and progressives. Especially if the party asking for help refuses to cooperate and resorts to name calling. We're all for bitcoin adoption but using Shaming tactics for no good reason doesn't help promote your goal.

You should know by now that you are posting in the Feminist Frequency thread. Do you have any criticism at all regarding Feminist Frequency apart from your obsession about the video where she dismisses shooters where she does not want to shoot the head off of people because she thinks it is gross?

Thanks for the link.

Bitcoin is a protocol and a community. 1. Bitcoin the community 2. Bitcoin the protocol. The protocol can't be sexist/homophobic/transphobic and whatnot, but the community can, and specifically the Bitcoin community that prefers posting on bitcointalk.org can be too. Though it can remove posts which it may find overly Feminist like one of my posts that got deleted in the beginning where I mention that Feminism is the radical belief that women are people too. Please don't get offended now that I said it. I posted that Feminism is the radical belief that women are people too and that got removed. You have every right to as it's your forum, and to that, I also get more enlightened to the target audience. Nothing wrong with you having your target audience. Go ahead.

I think you've been advised to open a new thread, why do you choose to use this poisoned well? What you need to do is start a fresh thread in the politics section and discuss this issue, noone here is against women, hell this forum would be more interesting if more joined up, but that's the thing....they have to join up.

You are right about there being a community/protocol divide , but think on it further....is there a clubhouse that says men only? Are invites to conferences written men only? If women show interest, every man/woman/child/alien involved in bitcoin would welcome them and teach as much as they can very very happily.

Typical victim trolling.

1) Troll
2) Get removed
3) Play the victim and claim the forum is mysoginist or whatever

If you're being an idiot, you get handled like an idiot. Doesn't matter what gender you are. Deal with it.

It is you with your self-assigned Cryptoprivilege that you've decided that it is your holy right to post off-topic ramblings on this thread that is not related to the topic at hand(not even to Bitcoin). So if anybody poisoned anything it was your unwillingness from the beginning to post anything but slander and insults hurled at Anita Sarkeesian, preventing any sort of discussion. Be aware that you are poisoning this discussion in a way that it prevents any civil discussion about the topic at hand. If you stop spamming this thread then a discussion can commence more easily. You so far seem preoccupied with censoring this discussion, since you've stated this yourselves:

That's just your typical victim blaming TCM, very typical of you, not of bitcointalk.org. Anybody else continuing on the victim blaming part, consider your posts reported as your "Cryptoprivilege" is becoming increasingly annoying. You are not contributing in any way, but more advocating in having any talk about Feminism on bitcointalk.org censored. Go open your own anti-feminism threads, there are tons of them here.(no rather don't, I don't think bitcointalk.org wants to host hatespeech)

I think that the closest we could come to some sort of "common ground" in jimbobway's own expression, it's getting girlsmakegames accept Bitcoin donations. Maybe then Feminist Frequency could consider accepting Bitcoin. The argument you seem to be advocating is bitcointalk.org kicking away any discussion at all about Feminism or Feminist Frequency which you so passionately hate.

Look!: Their "The Hole Story" kickstarter had an initial funding goal of 10000$ which included linux support from the very beginning, how awesome is that!?!?!?!?

What the fuck is this?

Exactly. That is how a true, fair free market works. Everybody is given a chance.

Why would anyone want to give Anita Sarkeesian anything?

You're an idiot and so is Anita Sarkeesian.

"Assassin's Creed Syndicate Review" new video by Feminist Frequency.

Transcript available at http://feministfrequency.com/2015/10/22/assassins-creed-syndicate-review/

If you got reported it's because of personal attacks. Insults and spam seems to be your main strategy in answering. At least you try(maybe), but it looks more like you're boiling.

If you realize your post is spam, then remove it so I won't have to report it.

What it is, is (I hope) the same as what the "cryptofeminism" account here is: satire.

Satire has to be funny, not just stupid.

(my bolding)

On the offchance that this whole thing *isn't* some elaborate performance art, I thought I should address this bolded part.

It's just conceivable that we're all a bunch of raving misogynists who absolutely cannot cope with 'the radical belief that women are people too'.

But there is an alternative explanation - that we can see the difference between the motte and the bailey*. That, to put it coldly, we are all too aware that women are people too.

Anita Sarkeesian is a grifter. And she's not fooling too many people in the Bitcoin community. She is but one of a depressingly large number of worthless online personalities that have worked tirelessly to debase the concept of feminism, and make the word itself so poisonous to online discourse. Naturally anyone who thinks this "doesn't think women are people too", because that attempt at character assassination is what the whole damn machinery is for in the first place.

Your link is offtopic.

I don't think more Ad Hominems is helpful. Though you are completely free to just let the Ad Hominem stay as it is without providing any context whatsoever.

It's difficult no to be "ad hominem" when someone want to call someone else a con artist :).

Reviewed by: Carolyn Petit

And your opinion that she is a con artist stems from what? The TCM case where Feminist's Frequency Anita Sarkeesian doesn't like playing shooters got totally taken out of context?

This KiA/gator tirade is just making fools of you...I actually noticed somebody got their feelz so dominated that they opened a thread on KiA. Of course KiA ignored it because actually it's about ethics in STFU, so they gave you the finger.
Also don't make this seem like an issue of freeze peach. There's a difference between hosting just well argumented speech and hosting of hate speech, spam speech. Don't get shit confused, and what part bitcointalk.org plays in this is currently unknown to me, but I guess I might find out, as having a post removed once might mean having it removed again, maybe because of "cryptoethics".

How are any of these links on-topic?

AS is a liar, a con and an unscientific idiot.

You want on-topic? Here you go:

TCM tries to normalize stalking behavior(outrage culture, being angry about nothing). Jimbobway, please remove your spam or I'll probably give the report button a try. Normalizing harassment against women in Bitcoin communities is never a good start.

I didn't know Brianna Wu was a mod over at GamerGhazi. https://twitter.com/spacekatgal/status/564204048216502272
She is one of those who received an extreme amount of threats similar to what Anita Sarkeesian has received.
https://reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/

This has more insight than what the other troll is posting. A+++++

Hey, this forum has self moderated topics. Try starting one, it will allow you to keep it harassment free and on topic.

Public filter list / ignore list:
* alani123 #272 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg12526961#msg12526961) encourages off-topic echo chamber, #321 upset that the thread exists and wishes the thread to stop existing. #330 KiA/gator image spam tirade.
* Bitware. Personal attack at #292 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg12750988#msg12750988)
* jimbobway. Reported "jimbobway spams Boo,Banana,Phallus,Penor,Penis"(5 different posts with 1 of those words in each post) as early as #288 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg12743173#msg12743173)
* GriffinHeart #316 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg13058278#msg13058278) "insults as argument"
* hayek #322 going off-topic about feminism in general, nothing on-topic regarding Anita Sarkeesian, nor Feminist Frequency.
* TCM. Victim blaming tirade, starting with #303 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg12931684#msg12931684), being overly paranoid. This is not /r/KiA. #311 victim blaming tirade.

(To save bitcointalk.org admins/mods the bother to manually having to delete anything else other than threats I'm making a public ignore list specifically for this thread which I will recommend for any sane Bitcoiner that doesn't want to be a part of the KiA/gator echo chamber tirade)

I'm advocating any serious Bitcoiner to use the above public ignore list. Hit the "ignore" button for the users in the list. PM me to get removed from the list. Personal attacks aren't discussion. Just use your common sense, if available. Otherwise get your common sense from a fellow human being either for free or at a discount.

This is a subreddit that must be pretty cool, I think it's a parody of overreacting kids/kittens: https://www.reddit.com/r/KittensInAction/
She might not be the first feminist in Bitcoin since https://www.reddit.com/user/andreasma stated that he'll not attend Bitcoin conferences that don't have any reasonable anti-harassment policies that are also not just words but also real actions in case women get abuse. Maybe neither of these people are feminists but still they advocate against harassment actively and that is worthy of a mention.

I haven't seen one single reference of Anita Sarkeesian's work(probably something to do with phobia of getting your arguments "defeated" once you even start reading one sentence of what she actually says in her video transcripts) I'm going to quote one for you, and you can reply on-topic for a change:

source: https://feministfrequency.com/2013/03/07/damsel-in-distress-part-1/

Meh, all I'm saying is that you could take advantage of the features this forum has if you want to keep your topics on topic and clean from trolling instead of expecting the mods to remove things you deem inappropriate while responding to someone else's topic. Complaining doesn't seem to be helping either.

Victim complex in full effect. You're truly pathetic.

Also, I don't think you get the idea of being exposed as a con artist. If you're exposed as a con artist, whatever you have to say otherwise is irrelevant. You don't get to say "OK, I lied 10 times over here, but what I have to say over there is still TRUE!", especially when that other thing _also_ is unfounded, unscientific bullshit. You can't talk yourself out of this.

If you're an idiot, no victim turtle complex and no amount of struggling on your back will repair your credibility. Just stop attaching yourself to losers like AS and her whole SJW crowd of low-life victims. You're all fucked in the head.

Edit: I like how you posted an .onion link. Probably posting via Tor all the time to hide that real account from your troll puppet, eh? What a joke. I wonder where the original OP went...

http://onlineabuseprevention.org/ by Randi Harper (freebsdgirl) as it's undeniable that Anita Sarkeesian and her project Feminist Frequency have been extensively harassed.

This is not /r/KiA. I've added you to the public ignore list at #309 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg13043578#msg13043578) as it seems you can't stop victim blaming, thus you are too much off-topic, you can't provide anything substantial, you can't even type any criticism at all but only resort to personal attack as "argument". Ad Hominem paranoia, stop it if you can.
If you want to participate in the discussion you can PM me to get yourself removed from it as I stated in post #309 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg13043578#msg13043578) when you feel yourself eager again to jump in to the discussion at hand.

Everybody else: use the public ignore list, it's more like a filtering system for this specific thread rather than "censoring their freeze peach". They can perfectly well create threads that are totally KiA/gator friendly and it was a success. Congratulate yourselves for that, of knowing how to open other threads.

When you want to participate again in the discussion you know what to do per my instructions, freebsdgirl is my inspiration for this and she is awesome.

Edit: This tweet shows she is interested in Bitcoin https://twitter.com/randileeharper/status/616731590664663040
She states she has a Coinbase account in that above tweet. I assume so far it is https://www.coinbase.com/freebsdgirl
Also her twitter account https://twitter.com/randileeharper references https://keybase.io/freebsdgirl
and https://keybase.io/freebsdgirl references https://coinbase.com/freebsdgirl
Her https://keybase.io/freebsdgirl also contains her public key so by that I assume she already has some basic knowledge of technologies that are part of Bitcoin. Yes! Bitcoin is not hard to understand for beginners who are already familiar with ie. OpenPGP, as there are parts of that technology in Bitcoin!

Her public key on https://www.coinbase.com/freebsdgirl/public-key and subsequent signatures

What are you referring to? If you could at least provide some reference or quotation at all it might actually help.

Also you didn't reply to
Do you find that offensive to you, like you are personally offended by Feminist Frequency "being so mean" as to say that you can still enjoy something, but still be critical of it? Oh, the dread! Please answer honestly what you think.

LOL, no one gives a shit about your list.

Whoah, this thread has gotten big.
And we have a moron on the line. TCM, I suggest you follow me and take the liberty to ignore this "cryptofeminism" thickhead.
I'm thinking she needs a strong male admin to silence us since the nut can't defend their own "points" which are so unfounded that the cockhead has to ignore you instead of intelligently answering you.
Eat a fat one, cryptofeminism.

i.e. what you do

This thread isnt serious is it?

GriffinHeart and alani123. This is not KiA or your gator echo chamber and if you
think so you obviously do not want to get removed from my public ignore list filter so
make up your minds about how you want your continued stay here to be like.
I hope you're not allergic to PMs because if you want to post on-topic content you might have
to fight that allergy.

GriffinHeart put on public ignore list filter:
post #316 insults are not arguments, #258 "FF con artist" trope,
#260 claiming 100% of all arguments made in Tropes vs Women are false is like
claiming Peach in Mario is not a damsel in distress while not providing any context
or argumentation whatsoever to back that post.
Stop overgeneralizing if you want to contribute on-topic content
Read cryptofeminism #313 on how to get removed from the filter.

alani123 put on public ignore list filter:
post #261 how alani123 remarks about friends derailing the topic
#274 'please stop posting on-topic in this thread' kind of thinking.
#272 'lol that off-topic youtube video that jimbobway posted was funny'(ignoring
the public ignore list and encouraging off-topic posts makes you extra eligible
to be included in the public ignore list, this is somehow how Good Game autoblocker works)
#317 'alani123 doesn't approve on-topic content'. Spams images from some dictionary,
attempts to "politely insult".
Read cryptofeminism #313 on how to get removed from the filter.

Anybody who wants to reply on-topic(if you know how to use arguments and not just pure statements parroted from some KiA/gator "source" then you know what that is) use the public ignore list at

Can you enjoy video games while being conscious of tropes regarding women within those
games? All depends if you take yourself seriously,
that's the only thing that's required to post on-topic so please try.

Cute how it thinks it has any kind of power with its "public ignore list".


0/10. This shit is boring.

Cite any scientific source that says video games have any effect on society as is claimed by this mental diarrhea.

Here's a counter-study: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/gaming/long-term-us-study-finds-no-links-between-violent-video-games-and-youth-violence-9851613.html

If it's not valid for violence, your evidence must be really strong to be able to claim it's valid for sexism and misogyny and whatever you dumbass cunts pull out of your ass. You are old and boring and no one gives a shit about you.

I'm not from KiA and your assumptions are so fucking offensive. Your privilege allows you to spend hours online watching internet drama only to come here babbling about it while I, a feminism fundamentalist, live in a country where women still have to fight for basic rights. Please stop destroying feminism, do something more productive with your life other than trying to promote a branch of feminism that tries to uplift the most privileged and free citizens on earth, American women. For the last decades you have been having it so well there that somewhere along the way you must have forgotten what feminism and equality actually is.

It's in fact you that is off-topic, off topic about everything in fact. You care about objectification of women in entirely virtual environments, use shaming tactics as a defense mechanism whenever you're confronted with facts or facts and still dare to call yourself a feminist? Shame on you, you're the actual troll here. You're trolling the people you're supposedly fighting for by making them look so ridiculous that the rest of the world won't bother to take them seriously any more. Time for you to step away from your confirmation bias bubble isn't it?

Fortunately, there are still sane women out there who see through all the bullshit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAJRx6EkrdI

Just continue your discussion about "Feminism in general" in PM. Your inability/unwillingness to participate in this specific thread is showing, because you adress "feminism in general", and there is no "feminism in general", there are many different individuals and this thread is about Feminist Frequency/Anita Sarkeesian which you could have adressed but you choose to go off-topic because "feminists in general"(whatever the heck that means) have angered you.

not received any PMs from alani123 + alani123 has not claimed trying to contact me.
This kind of filter inspired by ggautoblocker is to filter out any off-topic spam, stop spamming this thread with nonsense, not appreciated.
This KiA/gator tirade must stop, or if bitcointalk.org really supports these things show it to me, I'm tired of the human age of stupidity kind of thing going on in this thread. If you don't have anything on-topic to say don't say it.

Thanks for proving that AS has nothing to do with feminism in general.

How is this still in project development?

I did try to contact OP (tjohej) after being asked if I know any female bloggers in the bitcoin space but never got a response and shortly after OP disappeared only for you to take their place. I still find the fact that some very vocal American feminists try to put non-issues like the ones you talk about in their agenda. Goes to show how disconnected individuals can get from the rest of the world.

BTW, if you for some reason think there's productive discussion to be made between us, I'm all ears.

For anybody who wants to participate in the discussion follow the filter list at  #309 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714031.msg13043578#msg13043578)
Nobody has stated yet in that list they want to participate on-topic posts to this thread yet.

Is replying on-topic so hard? What is it that Anita Sarkeesian has said that made you so angry? Quotes please.

I think this must be a bot or something. It randomly quotes week-old posts and never follows the actual conversation. It doesn't address any fact you throw at it and keeps trolling by the same schema.

This can't be a human - not even a dumb one.

My comment wasn't an opinion, just a generic comment about issues with being or not being "ad hominem" in the given context. Please let me know if you need more explanation :).
