michaelangelo77777 While I can empathize with the producers, to me it came across as angry and an outright attack on men. It does very much bother me that women are depicted as sex objects, especially underage ones in the JRPGs that I love. The numbers are fudged IMO. I have been very active in the gaming community for almost 40 years, and I am always on the lookout for female gamers. Sadly, I have rarely found this demographic. There is a massive amount of different genres to attract anyone. So this narrative seems very unresearched and self serving. Not objective, just angry.
aidanholmes-66323 It's a documentary that demonizes gamers and is written with little to no knowledge of the medium. Very little is factual and it goes out of it's way to paint those who oppose said ideas as awful human beings. Not to mention it pretends to take offense for those who aren't offended. Steer clear at all costs
stian-ohrvik How do I summarize this movie into a short review.I will start by saying that this movie is segregating it's targeted audience. The fact remains that you can't judge a group based on a few of the individuals, and this is what GTFO: Get the F&#% Out is doing.Summed up in four points. 1. It's an important documentary about girls in the gaming industry and/or culture without even acknowledging the other side. As a documentary, it's flawed because of its one-sided approach. 2. As I said above, it's creating(intended or not)a gap between the genders, where women come out as victims and men their assailants. 3. There's a lack of consistency. For example it will imply that there's a lack of female attendants for different conventions, while simultaneously showing footage of groups of people where there is a rather high ratio of women. This is not 50/50 for each gender, but the female presence is higher in their footage than what their statements would suggest. 4. There is too much generalization. The harassment that's happening in chats, lobbies and through messages is depicted as to be done by every male in the world, when in reality it is not. The gaming culture is enormous, and as a result there will be people with bad intentions or lack of understanding. I am grateful for the fact that Miranda Pakozdi referred to what went on during the Cross Assault stream as an isolated incident, giving the first impression that this harassment in topic is the work of several individuals(a large number of individuals) but not an entire gender.This topic needs to be discussed more, but I would not recommend someone who doesn't know about this beforehand to watch this movie. It's prone to ignite more rage than understanding, and therefore I give it 3 out of 10 stars.
felipeluzardo You need to keep an open mind while watching this documentary. Remember that people are just stating their opinions, and try to value them. I personally did not agree with all of the statements or world views portrayed, but still think it's important to hear them.Unfortunately it is very easy as a guy and especially if you are a gamer to become infuriated by some of the arguments (or the mere sight of Anita Sarkeesian). But if you are able to get past that you might actually discover that there are many valid points being made.I love gaming and video games and I think everyone should be able to enjoy them, man or woman. I would hate to be told I cannot do the thing I love because of my gender. That is why I think people should give this film a chance. Perhaps next time you meet a female gamer in lobby or forum you will think twice before casually making a sexist joke or comment.
