What the shit is wrong with Dave? Did he think his jab at Sarkesian was funny? He really is useless. Shame the show isn't Joe only.
I really don't think it was a jab.
- Anita Sarkeesian is widely known for taking videogames to task regarding their treatment of women.
- Caveman Games includes a "wife throwing" minigame, which was pretty absurd even for the time it was made.
- Dave says it's okay, because "she deserved it", right Sarkeesian?
This would be a jab at AS if she had ever said
anything to that effect. Like someone taking shots at Whoopi Goldberg during the Bill Cosby thing for her previous "rape-rape" comments. As far as I'm aware, AS has said nothing of the kind. It's entirely the opposite. That suggests that Dave is being completely ridiculous. He's adopting a ridiculous position, and claiming that his position is so sane that even AS would agree with him. It's a measure of how ridiculous he's being. He's acting like a parody character, and taking a shot at the game, not Sarkeesian.
Yeah, I think that was the intent, but the joke isn't funny, for sure. Regardless, from what he said later in the video, I don't know if Dave understands why people would care about such things -- I mean, consider what he said about liking the culturally-insensitive depictions in games like Punch-Out.
That's a joke in the same vein. Who in their right mind says things like "I like having some racism in my videogames"?
It falls flat because all of their jokes fall flat.
