Yeah it's definitely an interesting debate.
On Muhammad, I think that many bad people can write good things, yeah. Hitler was a strong animal rights advocate so yeah, go Hitler!
The point is that the Quran has a lot of both, and when bad ideas are put with good ideas they cancel each other out.
This is what TAA's point was - the amount of terrorists and bombers that have the Quran in common is not a coincidence.
When you're raised in that environment and brought up on such a sketchy text, that shit can happen. It's not like the Bible is any better, it's just that much less people follow it as closely as people following th Quran.
I'd like to bring up Charlie Hebdo because I want to clarify that what annoyed me about that was the fact that people were attempting to justify it.
"They knew what they were doing!"
"They did it on purpose!"
"They should just respect people's beliefs!
As if that this is the consequence one should expect for drawing a fucking cartoon. Whether you found it funny or not is not the issue, people should be allowed to fucking draw it without being murdered.
Going back to the feminists who "criticise" games, I don't think that those people represent feminism as a whole, no, I'm mainly just using them as an example of bad feminism in the western world.
I believe that feminism has had its time but no longer has any use in today's society. The definition of feminism (which is something that they always fall back on when you criticise it, even though their actions do not represent it) is a movement dedicated to equality for women. Now I'm sure we can both agree that women have all the same rights as men, all the same choices. Unless of course, they want to be a male stripper, and believe me when I say there's people who even call that sexist.
At the end of the day, any movement whose goal is "gender equality," but that only focuses on the issues of one of them, is a failure. I consider myself an egalitarian, and to me it looks like women are the priveleged ones in society these days. Of course there are inequalities on both sides, but that's exactly my point.
As for women influencing culture well, look how many women-only talk shows there are, and then do the same for men. Daytime TV is basically designed for women, over here at least. The funny thing is Ive heard them talk about how they "don't have a platform and get silenced because they're women" WHILST BEING ON THEIR TALK SHOW.
I don't really think it's necessary to think about how women "feel" about feminism, because it's their actions that matter, and I see a lot more bad actions in the name of feminism than good ones.
