The person who mentioned the poll said it was on reddit and 4chan? Was it posted on the MN.9 forums? After looking for a couple hours at different screen-grabs of forum posts, I have only seen 1 comment on a post, not a post itself, that says something to the affect of "I didn't pay for this, feminism needs to stay out of this game/gaming". That is the most scathing comment I could find, personally. The stupidest thing I've seen regarding this, has been 1 comment on her DA feed posted on the 21st. Can you link the posts that would have calmed everybody down? I can't find this deluge of misogyny that I assumed was there, given what other people had been saying. A pretty balanced video that commented on the issue right when this broke, before it became an item making it's rounds on news sites like this one, never mentioned her being female as the issue, but mention feminism, her locking and then unlocking her twitter with the posts deleted that said she never liked mega man and that she was both a designer and CM, claims of nepotism, qualifications/her behavior as CM, and when/if she is a fan of MM. Only after the Gameranx article is there any mention of sexism, misogyny, or even that Dina's feminism was the main thrust of the backlash. The shots that I have read have been either lacking in any abusive language, and when there is, its so very mild compared to the one video where Feminist Frequency allowed comments. I don't want to take anyone's word for it: if someone has a link that showcases the abusive posts, based on what others are saying here and in other places, I'd appreciate it. |

I like how people just ignored damien tobin's post on the previous page which basically eviscerated all the arguments against her.

I didn't see it, it was the last one on the previous page. The video I had watched was by the user MundaneMatt, but I had seen the one by the aristocrat. Then, I tried looking for grabs from the Mighty No. 9. forums. The other tweets clarify quite a lot, But I was also looking for the posts made on the Mighty No. 9 forums that were abusive, and to get a sense of how many people were making them, as well as how many were "holding the game hostage".

I'm quoting this again so everyone sees it and I'm temtped to make it the first post in this thread. Do not ignore this post if you intend to continue to argue about the issue, period.

Thanks for the informative posts damien tobin and DeeTree. I'd heard about this situation some before, but hadn't looked into it much myself. Interesting.
