Anita Sarkeesian - Feminist Frequency - Donating in Bitcoin

[alani123]

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

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.

[alani123]

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

Women don't have balls, what inequity!

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

[tjohej]

mailmansDOGE yes, Anita Sarkeesian in Cryptocurrencies
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

I'm not really sure how Bitcoin works.... but I do know that you can now use it to buy the Double Fine Humble Bundle! http://www.humblebundle.com/

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

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 wave feminism

Feminists who currently advocate for a fourth-wave of feminism believe the circulation of feminist issues rely on social media technology for communicating and organizing their activism efforts. “It's defined by technology: tools that are allowing women to build a strong, popular, reactive movement online.”

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

[tjohej]

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

@TimOfLegend, Congrats! @PKBitcoin wants to send you 13,441 bits ($5.00) in Bitcoin! Accept it here ➔ http://changetip.com/c/H73?m=6

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?

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 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

Feminist activists campaign for women's rights – such as in contract law, property, and voting – while also promoting bodily integrity, autonomy, and reproductive rights for women. Feminist campaigns are generally considered to be main force behind major historical societal changes, particularly in the West, where it they a near-universally credited with having achieved women's suffrage, gender neutrality in English, equal pay for women, reproductive rights for women (including access to contraceptives and abortion), and the right to enter into contracts and own property.[7] Some feminists have worked to protect women and girls from domestic violence, sexual harassment, and sexual assault.[8][9] They have also advocated for workplace rights, including maternity leave, and against forms of discrimination against women. Feminism is mainly focused on women's issues, but author bell hooks and others have argued that, since feminism seeks gender equality, it must necessarily include men's liberation because men are also harmed by sexism and gender roles.

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.

[TECSHARE]

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
