Criticism of the Nostalgia Chick
by GoingRampant Published 3 days agoWatchI criticize the Nostalgia Chick (web show cited by Feminist Frequency) from a feminist perspective. I dislike how the boundaries between the actor Lindsay Ellis and her character are indistinct, making the feminist commentary blend in with the Nostalgia Chick character's evil personality. I also take issue with the plethora of rape jokes displayed in the show. Finally, I don't like Lindsay making a joke about a random female character attacking a man because of patriarchy hurting women. The better feminist on that site (That Guy With The Glasses) is male feminist Linkara.
I intended to make this video just after my criticism of Feminist Frequency, but I'm lazy and made it over a year later.

Feminist Musings: From the E3 to "The Moon"
by GoingRampant Published 1 week agoWatchI muse on reading Heinlein as a feminist, how it's necessary to forgive him for being a product of his time, and how E3 2013 shows a sexist male demographic that hasn't advanced very much compared to Heinlein's 1966 example of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
On E3 sexism:
