Anger: Video Games, Someone Missed Something :3I woke up one day and did my regular routine of being a lazy whore, sitting on my couch, eating breakfast, the whole deal. But eventually I had to actually get up and put clothes on, go out the door. That particular day, I was going to my friend's college thesis presentation. This presentation is meant to be the final project of their entire college experience. They spend the last year of their time in college working on a topic to argue for, of their choice. They also spend this time creating art that applies to the topic they chose. With this in mind, I sat down and watched my friend present her topic, but her presentation wasn't the one that drew my attention. I ran into ...
Anger: Video Games, Someone Missed Something :3I woke up one day and did my regular routine of being a lazy whore, sitting on my couch, eating breakfast, the whole deal.

This presentation is meant to be the final project of their entire college experience. They spend the last year of their time in college working on a topic to argue for, of their choice. They also spend this time creating art that applies to the topic they chose. With this in mind, I sat down and watched my friend present her topic, but her presentation wasn't the one that drew my attention. I ran into a high school acquaintance of mine that was presenting after my friend and so I decided to stay. Let me summarize; the girl's topic was about male gamers demeaning female gamers. Ok. Simple topic. Hard to fuck up. She continued through her presentation showing screenshots of guys sending her demeaning mail and whatever else, but then she shows a picture of a woman's close up shot against a white wall. She's talking and talking. I'm getting ready to see her artwork and be wow-ed and then I slowly realize that photograph was the artwork she meant to present with her topic in mind. I noticed the following things as she continued to present:
1. Her photographs were supposedly of female gamers. I have no idea.
I explained earlier that the photographs were of women against a plain white wall making faces. I can see down to their shoulders. I don't know what they're doing with their hands. For all I know they're masturbating. Which would have probably been more entertaining to know.
2. She mentioned it was difficult to find female gamers.
*raises my hand* Hi. Hello. Over here. Yes, hi, I'm MisterBubble and I'm a female gamer and stuffs. I knew you in high school. You have my contact. Do you have a prejudice against my small boobs, because I didn't hear from you about this topic that I'd clearly be interested in. Also..*looks out in the crowd*...oh it so happens there's a bagillion other gamers you could have interviewed about the topic, not just female gamers. Oh, but what do I know, right? There's definitely not gigantic online communities full of gamers now-a-days, am I right? I do hope you caught the sarcasm. :3
3. She explained that when she sits at the computer, her fingers automatically fall to the W,A,S,D keys as easily as breathing air.
Huh, well, where is the device these gamer girls use as easily as breathing air in these photos? I mean...

...this guy could be a gamer for all we know. Anyone can be a gamer, but not everyone is. That is the equivalent of what her photography was conveying. But when check this out:

Oh wow. Look everyone. It's a gamer person. She's jackin' that joy stick hardcore. She's gamin' pretty hard. Yay! We've made impact.
Her response to all of my questions were, "I didn't feel it was necessary." The next time you say that to me, just remember, I'll make a long journal about it, prodding at the bits of your brain that evaluate what was "necessary" in however long it took you to concoct such delusions. One other thing I'd like to point out is if you win, then someone out there that lost to you is going to come up with some excuse for why you're a loser. They're games, so have fun with them, period. Love you guys. ;3
