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.

Posting off-topic about it in this thread is not helping your cause and is just plain off-topic.

As off-topic as games are in this thread.

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

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

A charitable organization is a type of non-profit organization (NPO). It differs from other types of NPOs in that it centers on non-profit and philanthropic goals as well as social well-being (e.g. charitable, educational, religious, or other activities serving the public interest or common good)

girlsmakegames.com is neither a charity nor a non-profit . Feminist Frequency though is a charity(a type of non-profit)

Feminist Frequency is a 501(c)3 non profit charity and all videos are available on YouTube to watch and share for free without any advertising

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

The relationship between women and video games has received extensive academic, corporate, and social attention. Since the 1990s,[1] female gamers have commonly been regarded as a minority, but industry surveys have shown that in time the gender ratio has become closer to equal and since the 2010s females have been found to make up about half of all gamers. Sexism in video gaming, including sexual harassment and the underrepresentation of women as characters in games, is an increasing topic of discussion in video game culture.

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.

Check out the "Alternate Internet Fuckwad Theory". You won't be disappointed.

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.

[TCM]

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!

[TCM]

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.

The gender gap in kindergarten workers

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.

[cryptofeminism]

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:

Typical victim trolling

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!?!?!?!?

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

Why would anyone want to give Anita Sarkeesian anything?
