Complaining doesn't seem to be helping either.
What are you referring to? If you could at least provide some reference or quotation at all it might actually help.

Also you didn't reply to

Welcome to our multi-part video series exploring the roles and representations of women in video games. This project will examine the tropes, plot devices and patterns most commonly associated with women in gaming from a systemic, big picture perspective.

This series will include critical analysis of many beloved games and characters, but remember that it is both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of it’s more problematic or pernicious aspects.
Do you find that offensive to you, like you are personally offended by Feminist Frequency "being so mean" as to say that you can still enjoy something, but still be critical of it? Oh, the dread! Please answer honestly what you think.

http://onlineabuseprevention.org/ by Randi Harper (freebsdgirl) as it's undeniable that Anita Sarkeesian and her project Feminist Frequency have been extensively harassed.

This is not /r/KiA. I've added you to the public ignore list at #309 as it seems you can't stop victim blaming, thus you are too much off-topic, you can't provide anything substantial, you can't even type any criticism at all but only resort to personal attack as "argument". Ad Hominem paranoia, stop it if you can.
If you want to participate in the discussion you can PM me to get yourself removed from it as I stated in post #309 when you feel yourself eager again to jump in to the discussion at hand.

Everybody else: use the public ignore list, it's more like a filtering system for this specific thread rather than "censoring their freeze peach". They can perfectly well create threads that are totally KiA/gator friendly and it was a success. Congratulate yourselves for that, of knowing how to open other threads.

When you want to participate again in the discussion you know what to do per my instructions, freebsdgirl is my inspiration for this and she is awesome.

Edit: This tweet shows she is interested in Bitcoin https://twitter.com/randileeharper/status/616731590664663040
She states she has a Coinbase account in that above tweet. I assume so far it is https://www.coinbase.com/freebsdgirl
Also her twitter account https://twitter.com/randileeharper references https://keybase.io/freebsdgirl
and https://keybase.io/freebsdgirl references https://coinbase.com/freebsdgirl
Her https://keybase.io/freebsdgirl also contains her public key so by that I assume she already has some basic knowledge of technologies that are part of Bitcoin. Yes! Bitcoin is not hard to understand for beginners who are already familiar with ie. OpenPGP, as there are parts of that technology in Bitcoin!

Her public key on https://www.coinbase.com/freebsdgirl/public-key and subsequent signatures

Victim complex in full effect. You're truly pathetic.

Also, I don't think you get the idea of being exposed as a con artist. If you're exposed as a con artist, whatever you have to say otherwise is irrelevant. You don't get to say "OK, I lied 10 times over here, but what I have to say over there is still TRUE!", especially when that other thing _also_ is unfounded, unscientific bullshit. You can't talk yourself out of this.

If you're an idiot, no victim turtle complex and no amount of struggling on your back will repair your credibility. Just stop attaching yourself to losers like AS and her whole SJW crowd of low-life victims. You're all fucked in the head.

Edit: I like how you posted an .onion link. Probably posting via Tor all the time to hide that real account from your troll puppet, eh? What a joke. I wonder where the original OP went...

Meh, all I'm saying is that you could take advantage of the features this forum has if you want to keep your topics on topic and clean from trolling instead of expecting the mods to remove things you deem inappropriate while responding to someone else's topic. Complaining doesn't seem to be helping either.

Public filter list / ignore list:
* alani123 #272 encourages off-topic echo chamber, #321 upset that the thread exists and wishes the thread to stop existing. #330 KiA/gator image spam tirade.
* Bitware. Personal attack at #292
* jimbobway. Reported "jimbobway spams Boo,Banana,Phallus,Penor,Penis"(5 different posts with 1 of those words in each post) as early as #288
* GriffinHeart #316 "insults as argument"
* hayek #322 going off-topic about feminism in general, nothing on-topic regarding Anita Sarkeesian, nor Feminist Frequency.
* TCM. Victim blaming tirade, starting with #303, being overly paranoid. This is not /r/KiA. #311 victim blaming tirade.

(To save bitcointalk.org admins/mods the bother to manually having to delete anything else other than threats I'm making a public ignore list specifically for this thread which I will recommend for any sane Bitcoiner that doesn't want to be a part of the KiA/gator echo chamber tirade)

I'm advocating any serious Bitcoiner to use the above public ignore list. Hit the "ignore" button for the users in the list. PM me to get removed from the list. Personal attacks aren't discussion. Just use your common sense, if available. Otherwise get your common sense from a fellow human being either for free or at a discount.

This is a subreddit that must be pretty cool, I think it's a parody of overreacting kids/kittens: https://www.reddit.com/r/KittensInAction/
She might not be the first feminist in Bitcoin since https://www.reddit.com/user/andreasma stated that he'll not attend Bitcoin conferences that don't have any reasonable anti-harassment policies that are also not just words but also real actions in case women get abuse. Maybe neither of these people are feminists but still they advocate against harassment actively and that is worthy of a mention.

it will allow you to keep it harassment free and on topic.
I haven't seen one single reference of Anita Sarkeesian's work(probably something to do with phobia of getting your arguments "defeated" once you even start reading one sentence of what she actually says in her video transcripts) I'm going to quote one for you, and you can reply on-topic for a change:

TCM tries to normalize stalking behavior(outrage culture, being angry about nothing). Jimbobway, please remove your spam or I'll probably give the report button a try. Normalizing harassment against women in Bitcoin communities is never a good start.

I didn't know Brianna Wu was a mod over at GamerGhazi. https://twitter.com/spacekatgal/status/564204048216502272
She is one of those who received an extreme amount of threats similar to what Anita Sarkeesian has received.

How are any of these links on-topic?

AS is a liar, a con and an unscientific idiot.

It's difficult no to be "ad hominem" when someone want to call someone else a con artist Smiley.
And your opinion that she is a con artist stems from what? The TCM case where Feminist's Frequency Anita Sarkeesian doesn't like playing shooters got totally taken out of context?

This KiA/gator tirade is just making fools of you...I actually noticed somebody got their feelz so dominated that they opened a thread on KiA. Of course KiA ignored it because actually it's about ethics in STFU, so they gave you the finger.
Also don't make this seem like an issue of freeze peach. There's a difference between hosting just well argumented speech and hosting of hate speech, spam speech. Don't get shit confused, and what part bitcointalk.org plays in this is currently unknown to me, but I guess I might find out, as having a post removed once might mean having it removed again, maybe because of "cryptoethics".

I don't think more Ad Hominems is helpful. Though you are completely free to just let the Ad Hominem stay as it is without providing any context whatsoever.

Though it can remove posts which it may find overly Feminist like one of my posts that got deleted in the beginning where I mention that Feminism is the radical belief that women are people too. Please don't get offended now that I said it. I posted that Feminism is the radical belief that women are people too and that got removed.

(my bolding)

On the offchance that this whole thing *isn't* some elaborate performance art, I thought I should address this bolded part.

It's just conceivable that we're all a bunch of raving misogynists who absolutely cannot cope with 'the radical belief that women are people too'.

But there is an alternative explanation - that we can see the difference between the motte and the bailey*. That, to put it coldly, we are all too aware that women are people too.

Anita Sarkeesian is a grifter. And she's not fooling too many people in the Bitcoin community. She is but one of a depressingly large number of worthless online personalities that have worked tirelessly to debase the concept of feminism, and make the word itself so poisonous to online discourse. Naturally anyone who thinks this "doesn't think women are people too", because that attempt at character assassination is what the whole damn machinery is for in the first place.

If you got reported it's because of personal attacks. Insults and spam seems to be your main strategy in answering. At least you try(maybe), but it looks more like you're boiling.

weaving spiders come not here
I would like to be able to donate in Bitcoin to Anita Sarkeesian or one of her projects that's called Feminist Frequency(which succeeded splendingly on kickstarter.com) which she is very famous for. Feminist Frequency is currently only accepting PayPay which is a shame.
Through Feminist Frequency she is making an analysis of gender stereotypes in video games. Today there's hardly a person who doesn't know about her which is a person who also cares about the internet in a genuine sort of way. Her videos are free to download on youtube and she has only done the work through donations.

To my knowledge she has never received money in any way through Bitcoin, and finding references on Bitcoin and Anita Sarkeesian has ended up on Bitcoin talk on a thread with a topic not even about her nor about Feminist Frequency or any other of her projects.

This thread is dedicated to if it's possible to give donations to Feminist Frequency to support the cause, what the community here feels about it, if it's just 'ok', indifference or if it would be great. Maybe there will be much interest or little.
The world needs a little more love and Bitcoin certainly needs it too. I may ask her if she would like to start accepting it, maybe or maybe not depending on how the thread goes what the community thinks of her work.

Flattr has written a few things about Anita(before they started accepting Bitcoin 5 months afterwards) in light of "Gender, Technology, Diversity and Creativity" http://blog.flattr.net/2013/02/gender-technology-diversity-and-creativity/ writing about her in a very positive light.

------------------------
I have a hard time finding any arguments backed by sources. Anita Sarkeesian, among others, has/have transcripts of what she says in her videos. If you wanna back your argumentation and not just spam with stuff you think she might have said, then quote stuff she has said in the transcripts(example transcript) of a specific video.

UPDATE: I had a summary here, but after seeing the evolution of the thread I think we are on a more creative and productive path as the first pages may be an indication of how to approach the subject. But...
If you came here to spread hate and misinformation you are not welcome.

UPDATE 2: This new summary is on the progress of whether Feminist Frequency will accept Bitcoin as a donation option:
Page1-Page7 From constructive, neutral and hostile(including Ad Hominems) interaction with the Bitcoin community.

Page8 post #160 with a tweet asking @femfreq if she knows how Bitcoin works and if she likes Cryptography.
Page9 post #168 with a tweet to @femfreq about How Bitcoin Works, Cryptographic checksums(she has talked about Bittorrent before), briefly mentioning Digital Signatures and Public-key Cryptography.

Page11 post #217 generally about Women in Bitcoin. Transcript of "Q&A with Andreas Antonopoulos - Bitcoin in 2015 and beyond" but only translated the part related to Women and Bitcoin.


You're an idiot and so is Anita Sarkeesian.

Anyone should be able to use bitcoin for any poursose.

It is the global currency, and no one should be able to limit it. AT ALL!
Exactly. That is how a true, fair free market works. Everybody is given a chance.
