Anita Sarkeesian - Feminist Frequency - Donating in Bitcoin

[xerbot_dev]

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.

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!

Would it be a good idea to ask Fem Freq to accept Bitcoin?  Maybe tell her to add a donations address on her homepage.

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.

[tjohej]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

[tjohej]

If you can't do this you are an incapable social justice warrior

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

but the fact is that you did not offer direct resistance to the arguments in the first 4 pages.

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.

[tjohej]

You are an imbecile SJW.

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

The term "social justice warrior" has been used to describe people who work for social justice issues, with Mahatma Gandhi and Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. cited as examples.[62]

In internet culture, the term has been used as a pejorative for someone campaigning against things they perceive to be instances of racism, sexism, homophobia or other social injustice. Frequently initialized as "SJW", it is used to accuse opponents of sanctimony,[63] to insinuate pretense,[64][65] as a pejorative,[66][67][68] and as a general shorthand for a person believed to be overreacting to social issues. Although most commonly used to cast negative implications, some have reappropriated the term as a neutral or positive source of identity.[69][70]

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!

Amid the #Gamergate controversy, this Canadian-American feminist became perhaps the most public critic of sexism in the gaming community (via her blog, YouTube channel and Twitter account), which earned her thousands of fans—and almost as many enemies. (She says she received death threats.) More recently, her blog, Feminist Frequency, got funding from Intel’s initiative to promote diversity in tech.—S.B.

This is not a feminist forum.  This is a Bitcoin forum.  Yet again you fail to talk about Bitcoin.  Most SJW, like yourself, ignore basic facts, and the principle fact is you still haven't allowed donations in Bitcoin after over 12+ pages of idealogical babble.  A five year old could send an email To Anita but you have done nothing because you and your army of fanatics only care about your cause and nothing else.  When will you actually start working on Bitcoin donations, you sexist chauvinist?

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  .

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

[worhiper_-_]

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

[tjohej]

I've asked you twice if you are going to email Anita to add a bitcoin address to her website because I want to donate $5.  But, you completely ignore the bitcoin donation part.  Your thread says "Donating in Bitcoin".

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:

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.

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.

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"

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.

[sjenja]

LOL.    .
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.   

[tjohej]

Censorship of these games?

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

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 from "Damsel in Distress (Part 3) Tropes vs Women"

Over the course of this series I will be offering critical analysis of many popular games and characters, but please keep in mind that it’s both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy a piece of media while also being critical of it’s more pernicious aspects.

con artist.

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?

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.
