Time for another @pointandclickbait appreciation post! This time, Shit We Have Personal Experience with edition!
- The Updated Rules For When Women Are Allowed To Be Offended Online (content warning: rape and death threat mentions) – happens too frequently in various comments and reblogs to even count
- Man Leaves 1,750 Word Comment Explaining That He Doesn’t Care – a tale of the most boring rhetoric
- Man Who Hates Anita Sarkeesian Refuses To Stop Watching Her Videos Or Reading Her Tweets – while we have no connection to @femfreq, we can confidently say that vast majority of negative reblogs/tagged posts BABD gets is from a small group of persistent people who hate our blog so much they respond to virtually everything we do (with very inept snark)

So, Mai Shiranui is the latest crossover character in the latest Dead or Alive game, continuing their trend of amazing double standards in character design.
I think the fact that the trailer’s only priorities are to reassure us Mia doesn’t wear anything close to conventional panties and jiggle physics (did I mention that Team Ninja also try to maximize upskirt physics?)
They also released a trailer for new bunch of costumes and a stage crossing over with Attack on Titan – so naturally they need to assure their intended audience that the otherwise sensible costumes will be destroyable. So that’s going to be thing that we’re going to have in this reality.
Oh, and for those who worrying we’re demanding compromises on an artist’s important vision and forcing censorship,
Tomonobu Itagaki doesn’t like this either and thinks it’s ruining the series that he started:
“Thank you everyone. I’m so glad to hear your voices. Please support our DOA together. I have to say. DOA can’t survive with money earned by continuously selling too much sexual DLCs. DOA can live with respects from all of the DOA fans. So, please make them aware of what they have to do for the future of DOA.”

I got real petty over on the Facebook page and IT WAS GLORIOUS.
This is me, going to check out Legendary Books now…
Publisher: We think that the way the fantasy genre treats women is problematic so we’re going to try and do better
A Fool: If you don’t like it why don’t you make your own!
Publisher: That
That is literally what we just said we are doing
@bikiniarmorbattledamage I think this is right up your alley. Ha!
Yes, it is! Thank you for sending us this 🙂
@garrettbrobinson‘s apt and continuous snark here beats even the famous concise answer Star Wars Facebook gave to the dudebros “concerned” about Captain Phasma’s feminity.
Please everyone read the article and all of those comments, it’s quality content.
It’s also massive evidence that certain kind of people (who believe in such logic as “instead of having an opinion about a product, go make one yourself!” or “shirtless men = hypersexulized”) just plain do not care to acquaint themselves with an article/blog/video if it looks even vaguely feminist before replying to it.
We find it pretty amazing how they’re typing preemptive, uninformed responses to something they didn’t even read and, at the same time, expect its author to prove their own credentials.
