@supernowoczesna Me too, very disappointing. It isn't even just run of the mill ignorance either but uses all the SWERF tropes.

@hoskingc Sorry, I don't buy it. Her choice of language is telling, and the agency of at least some of the characters is overlooked. -
@hoskingc A more nuanced portrayal was of one who explicitly refuses to see groups: not just meek, 'pay money & you can do anything' trope -
@hoskingc Sorry, I didn't take a note of it - it's in the Feminist Frequency video, but I won't be going back to rewatch. -
@supernowoczesna@hoskingc Thing with SWERFs / fellow travellers of SWERFs is that they use all the same words /arguments: SWs, no agency -
@hoskingc@supernowoczesna I'm not defending the developers. I'm sick & tired of much of vidgaming. Point is that terms like "prostituted+ -
@hoskingc@supernowoczesna +women" are deliberate, conscious. Everytime someone uses terms like that, it always is followed by args that+ -
@hoskingc@supernowoczesna +SWs r "damaged" (from childhood), addicts, trafficked, can't think/act 4 themselves, & need someone else 2 do so -
@hoskingc@supernowoczesna she could have flayed the developers, & @ same time, not used those terms -
-
@supernowoczesna In that case, I think you don't know who you thought you were looking at. No offense, but she's BEEN that way. -
@Battybuddy I think you're right! I thought she was generally decent from what I knew, but hadn't been paying that much attention. -
@supernowoczesna Don't get me wrong, it's still a reason to get upset- but it's not a surprise. People who've seen her stuff before knew. -
@supernowoczesna That's kind of the problem with her as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see people waking up- even if it IS late. -
@supernowoczesna But part of it IS her overabundance of control over what people know about her, or ask her, and where they do it. -
@supernowoczesna But yeah, a lot of women were complaining about her anti-sex worker mentality when she STARTED this thing. -
@supernowoczesna Even before THAT, back when she was doing the ORIGINAL tropes. But, you know- keep them silent. Show what will help you. -
@Battybuddy Yeah, I hear you. Yet another reminder not to trust mainstream feminists unless they actually prove themselves. -
@supernowoczesna *Nods* Im just sorry that it lead to a lot of shady double dealings. Everyone forgot about Cowkitty and how SHE was treated
