thoughts on: random internet article of the day

Feministing freaks out over World of Warcraft's Easter celebration, calling it "unconscionable" and equates having bunny ears put on your avatar's head to rape. (But only if you are a girl)

(Also, only girls play female characters)

I'm all about thinking of survivors and abuse victims (as I am one myself) and doing your part to make sure triggering

I find it hard to believe that with all the porn and sex(ish) stuff on the internet and MMORPGS, that the one thing they are really getting in a fit about is bunny ears. Really? of all the stuff that people do on the internet, bunny ears is the thing to complain about? idk, I just don't think that anyone should care that much about a game to have it affect their "life" ya know. Maybe that is just me though :\

I agree with everything you said. I was a little more respectful of the crazy side in my post than I really feel haha

no, what WOW did is fucked. if it ONLY happens to female characters, thats sexism, and thats fucked.

i didnt read anything else in the article past that. lol. so, im not really responding to your post, just agreeing with the like 3rd paragraph in that article.

i hate feministing anyway. i mean, its important, and im glad its there, but i dont read it.

I agree that it's definitely stupid that they only had it happen to female characters, I'm just not surprised.

and equating it to rape? not okay in my book.

and definitely agreed on feministing. i just can't take the comments most days.
