Miss Representation - Full Movie 1.5hours
I don’t think I sold this the first time I posted this.
Men…watch this. Watch it now. Watch it later. But watch it. Look at the constant smear campaign against women in media. Sexism is real, and it is not getting “better”. See why feminism has become a “bad” word…how wanting equal treatment became a threat to the social order.

I really don’t know how else to explain it. I could say the clothing in Deus Ex is technically superior to the clothing in Super Mario Sunshine, but how is that observation meaningful when DXHR and SMS have completely different aesthetics and objectives across the…
i don’t care about which painting is better(to be honest, i don’t like either), i don’t care about how much technical the artist has that he/she didn’t use, i don’t care if they were aiming for a particular result. all i care about is the level of technical skill used to create the painting. that’s the only thing that i’m concerned with.
riddle me this: if i beat a grandmaster at chess, but he was playing to lose who played the better game?
answer: it was me, the objective of chess is to win, and i did. i’m shit at chess, and won’t have won it very gracefully but i still won. i played the better game.
umm.. sure, if chess hadn’t been about winning for at least over a century..
the purpose of the analogy is to show that despite being more skilled than I am, the grandmaster can choose to display less. he, like picasso can choose to paint at a lower level than he could.
i thought most games were about winning, but to be honest I can’t even remember how castles move so I’m no expert.
the argument became pedantic because they kept missing what I was trying to get across. they were claiming that I was saying things that I wasn’t, so I had to try clear things up. :)
He actually displays tremendous skill and perspective for being able to lose deliberately. To react with intent indicates skill, regardless of whether the desired outcome is winning or losing. Hypothetically he also has the experience and foresight to anticipate a lesser player’s clumsy moves and the moves thereafter, strategically avoiding opportunities to succeed by consciously creating openings for the lesser player. Loss on purpose indicates more skill than success by accident, and this is readily apparent to anyone who knows chess.
Just to address the chess metaphor.
Though broadly this also applies to painting. And writing. And everything else. In art, especially, its not always about the outcome but the process by which one arrived at it, but that’s a different topic.
What you seem to want is to compare apples and oranges because one must be the better fruit, and the rest of us are saying that while you can compare apples and oranges all day, it’s not meaningful to do so because despite broadly belonging to the same category they have different flavors, textures, and utilities. They have to be weighed on their own merits against fruit with similar qualities to determine anything meaningful.
Why would you even want to compare Mario and Breaking Bad?
Picasso isn’t throwing the game. He beat the game choov thinks is so important, and chose to master another. Just cause you have eyes doesn’t mean you understand what you are seeing.

toxiphobia’s port of dragonbone to CNHF. (optional shoulderless version shown)
“I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.”
I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people.
I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.
And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.
Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.”
That’s…to me, the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

This would explain much.psdo:
Also sorely misunderstood is how video game developers, in spite of their mysterious shroud of secrecy, are just people, who are perfectly capable of making bad decisions and be completely oblivious to them for years because video game development is done in a…
“The way the industry works is almost deliberately designed to perpetuate this crap.”
Not true.
The way the industry works it is not “almost” but ACTUALLY designed to perpetuate this crap. Mainstream games at least.
This is from someone who works in marketing and games for almost 10 years (me):
Opening up for new audiences is a problem for marketers, which is actively avoided. For example being considerate with costumes instead of designing them to show cleavage runs the risk of getting people interested in your games, that weren’t interested before.
It sounds counter intuitive but new audiences are dangerous in the eye of marketers. IT IS NOT DESIRED TO ALLOW NEW AUDIENCES TO GAIN INTEREST IN THE PRODUCT. They bring different desires and demand different communication, which completely ruins the oh so carefully crafted data-driven marketing plan.
Why? Because you can no longer calculate and optimize the results of money spent on advertising. A game like Bioshock Infinite is planned, executed and advertised for a specific target audience. This target audience is defined by gender, age group, ethnicity, income group, education grade. And every design decision that is aimed at making the game sell goes through that filter.
Every ad buy is focussed on that target group, the cover is focussed on that target group, press releases are focussed on that target group.. like a lazer. One message packet – one target group. They do it because the target group is big enough to suffice and if they would allow different target groups to mingle with their original target group, they would have to market to multiple sometimes mutually exclusive interests, which is super expensive and tricky.
Elizabeth is on the back of the cover not because women on covers don’t sell (which is a lie) or some people didn’t care enough. She is on the back on the cover to ACTIVELY DISCOURAGE WOMEN and other people who enjoy solid female characters from buying the game. She is dressed in an outfit, where sexiness is valued higher than functionality or accuracy, explicitly to discourage people with different values from buying the game.
That’s the same thing why gaming websites are limited in their ability to open up to women. Advertisers want to know how many of the thousands of pageviews are coming from their one focussed target group, so they can calculate how much bang for the buck they get. If sites like Kotaku would start to get women friendly, they would screw with the ratio. Suddenly the pageviews would be divided between the target group and other interests, which makes buying ads there less attractive for marketers.
That’s why we can’t have nice things. Sure, developers are negligent, developers are overwhelmed. But most of all mainstream developers feel the need/pressure to optimize the ratio of success per marketing effort. Which means creating and defending an easy to understand target group which is responding to ONE specific type of messaging.
You really have to admire Bioware (and EA for that matter) to give that much attention and space to women in their target group. It is so expensive to market to multiple groups, instead of going full Halo on the franchise.
