I think Feminist Frequency's attacks on sexism in videogames rely too heavily on the assumption that sexual depictions of women are automatically harmful and that they don't effectively make their case that this is so.

Good thing Salon doesn't have an editorial team consciously deciding what opinion pieces to run or this thread would be pretty stupid.

I think her opinions on videogames are overly broad and uninformed.

I'm pretty sure someone else on this site said that they thought Mike Stolkasa is insightful and cutting. I'm sorry. You're going to jail for a long time.

I wouldn't go this far.


This is more an indictment of GBS1.0 than Salon.

Tezzor I don't get the joke you're making. Are you making fun of people who have different opinions from each other, or is the coexistence of opposing opinions within the same organization somehow intended to be humorous in itself?
I'm not sure where you're going with this.

Contrarily, I once saw where someone was going with something else.

That's the hilarious part: once not long ago Salon was good and credible. Glenn Greenwald wrote for them before he went to work for The Guardian, and there was a solid blogging community in Open Salon that wrote good poo poo fairly regularly (and was way better than the horrendous paid front-page writers they have now).

Right after GG left something changed and Salon became a clickbait addicted joke, and now it's gotten so bad that often times it is very difficult to tell whether something is a genuine Salon article or is parody.

That's cool that a newspaper is telling bill mahr what his opinions should be. I wonder if he went to read it and just went totally schizo. Video games and women are bad and cause terrorism now. I can't get enough ethics in video game journalism.
