For what's worth I actually emailed the 'Texas Bitcoin Conference' asking for the transcript of Toni Lane's speech weeks ago, no response yet. I'm genuinely interested to find more about this speech. I'm thinking of contacting Tori herself but I'm not sure that would be helpful.

Yes, women actually play games

This forum is about Bitcoins. What has gaming got to do with it and who said women _don't_ play games?

Quote
saying in the past she is not a fan of video games, and then go 100% blindfold about everything she says

It's called basic integrity of a person. If you claim one thing and then another as soon as the money comes rolling in, it makes your motives highly questionable - especially when your facts are wrong most of the time. AS is a con artist.

You can stop desperately trying to keep this thread alive with off-topic and trolling posts. Most people here seem to be capable of seeing the bigger picture of this farce.

Edit: See the highest rated post of the thread you linked https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/3kx46a/women_as_reward_special_dlc_miniepisode/cv1l90a . Even they see it.

Yes, women actually play games and when they critique Anita Sarkeesian or praise her it's not a thing about dismissing her because of one perceived shortcoming(oh somebody got obsessed about Anita Sarkeesian saying in the past she is not a fan of video games, and then go 100% blindfold about everything she says) then putting on a blindfold and leaving the topic.

This thread I henceforth link to suggest if you want to do proper criticism, do it bit by bit. Don't overgeneralize and then leave the topic and consider having 'won the argument'. Leaving an argument is not the same as arguing.


Now see what
https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/3kx46a/women_as_reward_special_dlc_miniepisode/ have to say about Anita Sarkeesian's latest episode. I don't know if anybody from that space is even half curious about Bitcoin, and I don't hope it's about an unwillingness to participate in a discussion about the future of gaming.

Toni Lane speaks briefly about Bitcoin and Womens rights(Published on Aug 11, 2015)
Short transcript of her introduction:
Quote
So I am Toni Lane, twitter handle tonilanec and I am here because I'm CEO of cointelegraph, I was actually speaking earlier here today on a panel about Bitcoin and women's rights.

Does anybody have the transcript or a video of that panel?

I'd be interested into hearing that talk as well. The bit from the interview where she talks about uploading your brain tot he blockchain is a bit crazy though. lol Roll Eyes

I'm sorry but your video is unavailable.
Watch the video that I link to on twitter.com. Click on the youtube triangle and it should play  Wink
 Cool https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/638364460378288128  Cool
If it doesn't open use TorBrowser. If you don't know what TorBrowser is go see more generally about the Tor project: "State of the Onion [31c3] by Jacob Applebaum & Arma" by CCCen on YouTube.

I can think of a lot of examples of popular games where there are strong female leads/characters, the Metroid series
You should watch Women as Reward where Feminist Frequency analyzes the Metroid series. I linked to it for n2004al at the top of this post and I provided instructions on how to watch it.

The point of this topic used to be about donating bitcoin to Anita. This thread was derailed to a point that it lost all it's meaning and even OP doesn't seem that active lately.

cryptofeminism, why not make your own post in the politics and society board.

Hello there!


Here is a video explaining why Anita Sarkeesian is a con artist and why you will follow her like a religious zealot no matter what she does.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqJCCnued6c

I'm sorry but your video is unavailable. What can we do to know better Anita Sarkeesian, her's being "con" artist and to follow her like a religious zealot no matter she does?

She fails to meet any claim she makes?
She fails to give proceeds, as she claims to charity.
She fails to give information proving her company is a charity.
Every single one of feminist frequency's claims have been debunked. Not a joke.
Goodness, how about you head to Saudi Arabia and experience some real misogyny.
Or not, just put your patriarchy blinders on an die your armpit hair blue.

Hello there!
Oh Jesus.
Don't donate to a scam artist. She has claimed to make so many videos with the money she already got, failing miserably with an extreme win to her donation on kickstarter. She fails to make even half the videos she promised.
Not even to mention the fact that her videos (the ones that she DID make) are blatantly unfounded and produce no evidence to her idiotic and broken claims.
Donating more to this con-artist would be stupid in a whole new level.
Feminism in whole is unfounded, layers of goat semen raining down.
Honestly, why would you even post this here.

@sweden grow up? I'm not the one who has so little mental strength that a video game offends me. She is also a huge hypocrite.
Just wow. CoinMode said hypocrite though there's no backing of that statement. Hypocricy means you advocate for something and do the opposite.

This is not a good image for Bitcoin portraying us as childish, but you're giving it all in your holy crusade against women who speak their opinion?

Some day we will look back and think about those days where a bunch of 15 year olds made a "movement" where the main thing was screaming and barking at Anita Sarkeesian how angry they are that she has an opinion.
I agree to the advice: Grow up

Anita is sexist against men to an absolute extreme
Why do you hold such an extremist view? What did she do to you?

"Marriage & Feminism" by Jonathan Mann released Aug 11, only 10 days ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLCDgQNnTB0

The original tweet by Anita Sarkeesian https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/631614066943889408

How to be a feminist in a relationship. This guy should take Bitcoin, because it fits in the 'give what you want' spirit. 25 cents a week? In Bitcoin. I think focus should be put first on contacting Jonathan Mann. He takes donations for what he makes.

If you ever wondered what Anita Sarkeesian is working on with her Feminist Frequency you might get an idea here(Anita Sarkeesian as femshep):

Published on May 11, 2015 is "Jade - Positive Female Characters in Video Games"
Unfortunately the game Beyond Good and Evil™ is only for Windows so users of alternative Operating Systems(including SteamOS) don't have much luck, so I suggest you to watch a Let's Play of the game, instead of playing it in such a case.

Censorship of these games?
No, just learning about tropes.
This is from "Damsel in Distress (Part 1) Tropes vs Women"
con artist.
I think it's useful for all Bitcoin members who have replied or are going to reply to this thread(in the hope of staying on-topic, and not shaming the thread as a form of "Bitcoin community acceptable replies"-thing) to at least having watched the episode "A Touch of Class" from the BBC television sitcom "Fawlty Towers", to sharpen your definition of what a con artist is. Mostly to avoid confusion, and watching a video to see somebody show how a con artist is by acting may be more useful than reading a  Wikipedia article, but in case you want to know that as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick

Did any of you before feel you began to trust her, because you liked the idea of what she might release with her kickstarter?(then you donated to her, afterwards you regretted it) In that case what did you expect her to do, what was your big disappointment with her work in regards to your expectations?
