Red Dead Redemption is Sexist

In what I suppose isn't a surprising move in the current climate, there has been an outcry on the internet over the new Red Dead Redemption. Not for any important reasons, just that the developers might not include women as playable character in a fictional game. This outrage is all from a fucking teaser trailer, so let's see what bollocks these morons have come up with this time.

In case you haven't quite caught onto the message of these articles, yes this is a tantrum over a single picture that teases the release of a game next fucking year. We haven't even seen a shred of gameplay yet, but predictably the feminazis of the internet think this is sexist. Just extraordinary. Even more extraordinary is how we're complaining about women being excluded from the second game, but also complaining that they were included in the first. I'm struggling to find anything to suggest that this is a genuine critique to try and improve the quality of video games, because this is just another excuse to claim someone is being oppressed somehow from such a trivial issue. What's even more inexcusable is the huge assumption that women have been left out of the game entirely when we know jack shit about the actual contents of the game. You're basing this pathetic whinge on a teaser trailer. You even admit you know absolutely nothing about the contents of the game, so what's the point in this so called 'journalism'? And more importantly, how the fuck am I supposed to take this kind of shit seriously when you come out with crap like this? There is however an apparent justification for this random whinge, as the author will now explain:

No the stories of real life female outlaws are absolutely great, really they are interesting. However, I hate this kind of revisionist argument. The ancient demographics and societal roles of the given time period should be used to influence characters in a game, not dictate them. Obviously the term 'trend' is unknown to this writer, who prefers to cherry pick information instead of actually providing an insightful view of the times. Never do we get an explanation of why developers Rockstar would craft a character specifically male, because instead the argument is just a pathetic cry for attention. John Marston for the record was an entirely fictional character from the first game. What the role of female outlaws had in the Wild West is irrelevant because that's not who the developers center their game around. This is a bit like saying there's historical evidence that disabled people had a role to play in the Wild West, therefore disabled people have to be catered to in this game. For that matter why isn't the main character a talking fucking horse; they had a huge role in the time-frame this game will be dedicated too. Or here's an ever better thought: How about we stop comparing different people who have never cohabited and actually critically analyse what the developer intends their game to be? That might be what a journalist of arts would maybe try; especially not try and dictate a FICTIONAL GAME.

The author then tries to back this argument up by claiming that featuring female characters would be their personal preference. Just because something is what you would like doesn't mean you should be able to enforce demands on the developers you self centered asshole. Art is best when creators don't pander to the lowest common denominator, so maybe we should actually give them a fucking chance before branding them with the damning title of 'sexists'. I would have assumed this social justice moron would have loved a game that shows the unjust society in which the Old West was founded on. That's certainly what the original did with its two main female characters, Bonnie MacFarlane and Abigail Marston, who were both empowering women growing up in what was depicted as a man's world; in fact that's a heavy theme surrounding their beautifully crafted stories. Apparently that's not good enough for this moron because context is irrespective when blindly crying sexism in video games, and it's much better to just force women into roles out of a sense of morality rather than artistic integrity.

Do you know what? I'm not actually angry about this situation, because not only is it the most predictable article ever, but to be honest it's more plain laughable. The thing that does piss me off however is is how this gender based nonsense would be used to prevent people from enjoying what could be the greatest game of all time. The first one was just that, absolute perfection in a video game that portrayed a perfect depiction of the American West in all its brutality and beauty. If we start dictating what can and can't be featured in video games then we reject this idea of developer integrity, degrading video games from a work of art into didactic simulations that pander to pressure groups by shoehorning elements in for absolutely no reason. Deciding what characters should and shouldn't be present in a game is the job of the developer, not some political activists. Maybe these political activists could stop whinging and make their own version with a full female cast. Let's just say the competition between those two franchises would be interesting to watch unravel, although I have a strong feeling it would be a very one sided contest. Until that day arrives however, expect plenty more of these pitiful articles to keep cropping up all over the internet.

Science Must Fall

I've heard a lot of shit in my time from the black liberation movements of the world, but this here just might be the most idiotic of that shit. For some reason that confounds any form of rational thought students at Cape Town University have decided that science as a discipline must fall. No I'm being deadly serious, this is an argument that some human beings on the planet genuinely support. I suppose it's up to me to cross examine this horseshit objectively as possible, so wish me luck.

For some reason this group of students have decided that science cannot possibly be true because it's a form of Western imperialism, and that by effectively starting the whole concept of scientific reasoning again from an African perspective we can somehow improve humanities ability to discover the singular world truths. I have no idea how any competent human being can draw that conclusion from the bullshit spewed in this video, but if there was any integrity to this video then it was instantly lost when the student got out their tablet, which could only be possible thanks to Western engineering and science. Would you have a tablet or any computer if we relied on witchcraft instead of science? No of course you fucking wouldn't. Here in the West dear we've realised that what you're preaching would put humanity back into the dark ages. The counter argument is even more entertaining: Because science cannot explain an event that is clearly fraudulent bollocks it has therefore failed. I would like to hear this woman explain the theory of relativity to me, and her failure in doing so would apparently prove that her point is also invalid since her decolonised view of science couldn't explain the theory. Of course that's not a valid form of argument for this group of morons as disagreeing with the panel is apparently an incrimination of the house rules. No wonder these idiots are not open to scientific debate considering they shut down any opposing argument. The audience here aren't allowed a differing opinion in case they have some inherent desires to overthrow this moronic panel, which is a fucking pathetic excuse to start censoring opinions. All this in the name of 'progression'. Funny how as a scientist I don't find this very progressive at all.

It would be incorrect to say that science is totalising by its very nature, as the whole point of science is that all the information is falsifiable. So no, we haven't universally decided that Isaac Newton's theory of gravity is correct full stop, as science is constantly developing this revolutionary theory, some of which may eventually prove that Newton was wrong. It doesn't matter what anecdotal evidence you choose to cite because Newton has nothing to do with the physical existence of gravity, rather he was the man who first discovered the concept. That's like arguing that fire can't exist because I don't know the circumstances onto which it was originally discovered. The discipline of science however will not be invalidated because you claim it's racist; that's bigotry, not rationalism. What this group are really complaining about here is that science, which is constantly developing, is more powerful than your witchcraft or black magic, which hasn't been believed in civilised society for centuries. The argument presented by this woman is 'I didn't understand science at high school because I'm a clueless idiot, so I'll just brand it racist'. And if you disagree with this argument you're instantly branded a Western imperialist. Funny how scientific rationalism has become a norm in modern society and not some didactic conjecture that relies on anecdotes and marginalising demographics in the name of 'progression'. I personally would think progression would entail such actions as eradicating diseases such as smallpox. I don't recall witchcraft eradicating smallpox from Africa, rather Western vaccination programmes. So yeah by all means, let's progress by replacing science with magic.

The whole point of science is that race has no bearing on its progression. I thought students at this university would love the inclusivity of a discipline that revolves around the search for the truth, but unfortunately they moronically decide to reject the principles based on their notion of institutionalised racism. Their only solution to this is the plainly ridiculous notion that humanity should start science 'all over again'. That might just be the most stupid proposal of all time. Fuck decolonising your mind, this woman needs a lobotomy.

Morons of the Internet: Jess Phillips

This is the segment where I scour my favourite forums around the internet and find some particularly interesting articles about current affairs told in the words of my favourite human beings.

In this edition we have an idiotic Labour MP, who confuses gender equality with being a sexist bigot. Here we have yet another example of men being demonised for absolutely no reason other than their sex, which you might expect on 'Tumblr', but not in the British Parliament.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Wow, what a piece of work this Jess Phillips is. If there's anyone in Britain who needs to be prevented from being a member of parliament then maybe that person should be Mrs. Phillips. I don't know what world this woman is living in, but it appears to be one that takes the number of MPs at face value. We'll ignore the fact it's equally possible for a woman to be the Prime Minister, like now for example, because true gender equality lies in the basic leveling of politicians. No wonder the Labour Party has never had a female leader in power, because their members are constantly whinging about imaginary boundaries. The Conservative Party on the other hand have elected a woman, whereas the voice of women for the Labour Party happens to be some misandrist bitch who frequently abuses her male peers in the name of equality. Funny how this equality malarkey works. However the thing that really fucks me off with Jess Phillips is that instead of promoting women as suitable candidates she would rather just flat out ban the arguably more capable male candidates solely because of their sex. How the fuck is that fair or just in any way?

44%. The gender split in your party is just 6%, so why the fuck are we even taking your drastic overhaul seriously when it's based around such a minuscule proportion? Why is 50% this magic figure? If there were an equal number of male and female MPs it would make fuck all difference to the Labour Party considering they're almost at that level now. I hate this obsession that just because there's a disparity instantly means there must be an inequity somewhere, despite the fact this apparent institutionalised sexism isn't actually explained, which for something so prevalent I thought would be fucking easy to prove. Simply quoting statistics and taking them out of context is moronic, but it's then another thing to start punishing an innocent party based on this nonsense. If raw gender equality is the way forward then why stop at MPs? How about we stop admitting women into universities? How about we refuse to put away any male prisoners until that's even as well? I just find it funny Mrs. Phillips how there's only an outcry to artificially place women into positions of authority.

'Women are more likely to have a marginal seat.' That's a strong statement that completely undermines the idea of democracy, backed up by zero evidence. I was under the impression that women candidates undergo the same process as men to be elected into a parliamentary seat; that's the point in democracy, not this totalitarian gender based nonsense you're preaching. This is just an outrageous argument. Politics should be about electing the best person for the position, not by first analysing their genitals, because genitals have no say in how a person will act in the corridors of power.

I would like to add that this woman triumphing gender equality is also the one who laughed when even the notion of having an 'International Men's Day' was suggested, because she's an absolute self centered bitch. It's clear this statement has nothing to do with gender equality, rather boosting the position of Mrs. Phillips, who freely admits with these statements she thinks her seat is under attack. Maybe you have to forgive Jess Phillips for just trying to strengthen her position, but I have absolutely zero respect for someone who just blames their own personal issues on institutionalised sexism with out any reasoning. Keep your gender based nonsense on 'Tumblr' Mrs. Phillips, and stop demonising innocent male MPs who actually work their way to the top of the food chain instead of being shoehorned into roles they don't deserve only because they have the right set of genitals.
