Feminist Frequency condemns E3 Badge (Persona)

This is the only logical explanation.
She has the right to find every last little thing objectionable. If people didn't react to her, that's where it would end.
That's cool. I get that it's fun to use big words.
You don't really know what misogynistic means do you?

oh yes. and it's a frequent flyer in GG forums/hang outs, they love to post it when Anita articles come.
And once again, Gamergate has ruined a topic.

The hyperbole about Anita 'picking targets that discredit her' is going a bit far.
It's a 140 character tweet. She was making observations on her walk around the show floor. She isn't making a huge deal about it.

Sprung up during Gamergate I think - possibly from 4chan? - and has done the rounds ever since.
There is imbalance to address, you can't deny that.
She is sexy and pretty.
If you show that or like that you are sexist and a misogynist ... or something like that.
the Rise character is a popstar/idol. While idols certainly do dress provocatively like she is in that badge, that really doesn't deny the sort of obvious objectification that is happening.
i still want this game.

See this is why this kind of thing is dumb
There is no context to make the proper assumptions about what she is trying to say
Im confused and all I can say is that she is against how japanese parade scantily clad women?
I dunno
Seems lazy
Her single tweet is more like a mild aside than a condemnation.
When did GAF get invaded by "KotakuInActioners"?

Opinions will be opinions. Rise looks pretty cool on the badge, and I feel she's a pretty great character in Persona.
she's also way better than chie

Why are they nitpicking every.single.thing nowadays? This is getting more and more absurd as time goes by, making her looks like someone grasping at straws.

It's an obvious photoshop, the Rise photo in the OP is the real image...how did this thread get derailed so hard, that stupid racist picture is ancient and comes all the time from the Usual Suspects
pretty much
they've always been here. they just quietly wait until they see the Anita-signal light up.

Jesus Christ it's as if some folks to think that the 'Happy Jew' is totally cool to use as long as your target isn't Jewish (and to be frank probably regard it as bonus points if she was).

She is allowed her opinion, no?
Is this a 'condemnation'?
Do you know what that word means?
What is this thread?

I find her objection to the badge interesting because of Rise's issues within Persona 4 regarding overcoming the demands on her image. She should play P4.
Everything will be shamed unless anita approves. Guess she is above criticism. What is wrong with a pop star dressing like a pop star?

I too am also upset Chie or Yukiko were not selected instead.

Wow, what a fucking moron. How can you be so naive/wilfully ignorant? Christ...
Well, there is the very real problem of sexualizing and objectifying teenage girls for commercial purposes (like pop idols) going back decades. Sexism is not that this particular image is offensive in any special way, it's the *normalization* of the image that's sexist.
Anyway, she's not wrong. And yeah, going "hmmm" is hardly "condemning".
There's nothing wrong with that, in my opinion.

Exactly. Creating problems where there are none. But if you try to call Anita out on it then you're sexist. The best thing to do is to just keep your head down and let it blow over.

I dunno what her actual opinion is other than she is disapointed?
Twitter is not a good platform for her dude

Also seriously, this is just one fucking tweet. At this point the only people engaging in outrage and offense culture are Gamergaters themselves

Oh my god Grandma Sarkeesian, lighten up already!
Is she even aware of what the Persona series is and who/what Rise is?
Rise is an IDOL pop star and the whole IDOL phenomena is a very J-pop music kind of thing.
Rise is like Japanese Miley Cyrus but why has the latter never been attacked for her genuinely damaging antics?
On the other hand. That disgusting Jewish caricature was not required, basically gives Anita more ammo and is racist as hell.
That twitter account should be banned.

Good grief. She voiced her opinion - if you don't care, then stop posting about it.
I really don't know how this kind of post benefits anyone.
