The Other Side - Episode 71: Gaming Feminism

Social Justice “Causeheads” have always jumped from cause to cause
over the years. Nowadays, the big draw to get your
faux-intellectual rocks off is feminism. Countless nerd guys trying
to look progressive and intelligent (as well as try, in their
lonely desperation, to impress women by saying “I CARE ABOUT
YOUUUU”) by fighting the fight for women everywhere, mostly by
whining about big tits in video games. With gaming journalism
becoming as saturated with this reactionary theater as it has been,
gamers have been forced to sit through self-aggrandizing diatribes
of holier-than-thou peons who spent their formative years pushed
into their own lockers, fighting desperately to feel important in
adulthood to attempt to caulk up the cracks in their fragile egos.
We’ve seen it all; the cries of sexism over big boobs in Dragon’s
Crown; game reviewers trampling over themselves to be the first to
speak out against the newest scantly clad female character of the
week; the pissing content over who can be more offended over Killer
Is Dead’s Gigolo Mode; etc. etc. While they themselves have spoken
against the portrayal of women in anime for over a year, now, the
crew of The Other Side takes it upon themselves to turn the
spotlight of shame in the other direction, bringing to light the
rampant immaturity, shallowness, and even fascism and racism of the
new feminist movement those of us immersed in geek culture simply
cannot escape from. Strap yourselves in; this is the most
political, socially-charged, and just plain real The Other Side
will ever get! Be sure to check this episode out, as it’s sure to
go down in Other Side history!
