"Oh, it's funny to see people trying to prove gamers harass Anita just because she is a woman."
There is a game in which one can simulate punching her in the face, with realistic looking bruising and facial injuries, quite clearly evoking the horrific sub-culture amongst some males that hurting women is entertaining and funny. Pick someone else who did something "stupid" online and see if you can find a game simulating realistic facial injuries on them. You find it funny? I'm not laughing.
- rwz 14y agoI don't see any connection between punching game and being woman. Seriously. And I saw thousands of such games before. Except most of them were about punching males. Well, not all of them featured bruises and injuries though, but it's just a question of quality. I think it's much easier to make a punching game with these features now than several years ago. And here are some examples: http://www.arcadecabin.com/play/punch_the_president.html http://www.arcadecabin.com/play/punch_the_president.html http://www.urban75.com/Punch/gates.html http://www.urban75.com/Punch/gates.html
- EliRivers 14y agoSerious question. Do you genuinely not see the qualitative difference between that kind of cartoony game involving a major public figure, and the game with the images you can see on the original post? In your mind, are they essentially the same thing? Not trying to be nasty; to many, many people they are of completely different intent, but I am aware that some people just cannot sense that kind of thing.
- rwz 14y agoWell, again, I don't see any connection between this game and the fact that Anita is a woman. Yes, it's clearly harassment, but it's NOT women harassment.
