Hear what he says at 1:05
Like if people didn't harass him for the reviews of Zelda Skyward Sword and The Last of Us.
so guys, when you complain about a review and the reviewer happen to be a female, always remember that the reason you don't agree with what's written there it's because she's a woman. Now we'll never be able to disagree with what a woman says about anything because otherwise, it's sexist.
Another thing to remember is that men never get harassed online, it's only women just because they are women.
I feel like this is a relevant video:
Oh for ****'s sake...
This is about the benefits of being male, as in "If I were female, I'd be _____ just because I'm female". Yes, there are reasons why we shit on people. Men and women get stalked, harassed, sent death threats, etc. for shit they do. Yes, we're still shitting on McShea for his review of The Last of Us because he done messed up. That's fair.
That's not the fucking point of this video or what he presented. At all.
This is about what's unfair and what he presented is true: Guy's don't get asked about their gamer cred just 'cause they're guys. Females do not get this same benefit. Women in gaming, even at high levels of play, do not get taken seriously at all and that's a problem as that invites the actual fucked up stuff for no good reason.

For the sake of posterity, here's a full transcript of the video:

For fucks sake...talk about an agenda. Go away with this crap.
McShea is the worst cancer that could happen to gamespot and one of the reasons this site is considered nothing more than a joke, do developers even consider gamespot for their review copies?
@hernandezzzz: "And an even better layoff. I normally don't wish that on people, but this dude was clearly in the wrong line of work.
He should try fishing, he's already awesome at baiting."
Very accurate. lol
Jesus I'm gonna puke... Wtf is happening here....?
That video was seriously the epitome of everything that is wrong in gaming...
Between the lack of ingenuity in modern gaming, the monetization of gaming over the enjoyment of it and backward ass political correctness gurus who are now infecting what was once a pure form of human creation that inspired characters as beloved as samus aran and Lara croft, I am quite certain that the hobby I grew up adoring is in its death rattle... It has to be because listening to that was painful as ****.
None of those people speak for me and I don't share their grief as I've never cared whos genitals play what games.
Oh boy I can't WAIT to play all the homogenized, charmless, PC, "safe and doesn't offend anyone" games that await me in the future.

I think that's sort of the point. Women don't have the representation in gaming, or have it freely to the point where it's not bitched about about by the community. Women do get harrassed their worth in this medium. How many people ripped into Jade Raymond being just a pretty face, while completely ignoring that as a producer she's had an incredibly successful career. Or the premise that Anita made a handful of videos, which whatever not even going to argue how good her videos are, or the part where she takes things out of context. She presented what are fundamentally tropes that are offensive to one gender, and they are common place in gaming. She then proceeded to be harassed. Likewise plenty of other people defending, the males who act obnoxiously defending her? barely anything. Felicity Day on the flip side makes a well written, reasoned, non bitchy write up....ripped a new one, because clearly she doesn't know shit about games, because she never played Starcraft or something.
Gaming media has been aggressively shitty, but conversely the gaming community (again not generalizing, specifically the bad apples, the barrel is perfectly fine) has been just as aggressive and repulsive in their counter arguments. In many ways Anita has been vindicated one too many times by people who don't know how to respect a notion that a chick actually has a right to be treated decently.
Man this thread is awful lol. Some of you can't be older than 15.
I don't get why is McShea the one that gets mad fun of? Tim Schafer is in that video but I doubt anyone here would dare talk shit about him.
Yeah, calling McShea a "bitch" or whatever else is thrown at him is the mature way of responding to the gist of the video at hand.
Sometimes I really hate this community.
The way of the MOB... "pitchfork and torches for sale. Buy two get the third free."
You expect more.. Then thrown the masks of the internet on top to hide the cesspool of filth.
Man this thread is awful lol. Some of you can't be older than 15.
I don't get why is McShea the one that gets mad fun of? Tim Schafer is in that video but I doubt anyone here would dare talk shit about him.
Because Sony fanboys are still flipping out that McShea gave TLOU an 8/10.
What really offends me is the horrible lightning and production values in this video. Jesus it only makes all those guys look uglier.

I'm pretty sure the bitch comment was directed at Anita Sarkeesian, it's a Feminist Frequency video.
But yeah, this community is only good for stopping by and occasionally arguing with console fanboys about their beloved platforms. For any other kind of serious issues, System Wars (!!!) is worthless.
By the way mods - why is this a legit "System Wars Topic"?

Unrelated to the topic at hand of people being awful, but would just like to reiterize the fact McShea gave Uncharted 2 a 9.5, the highest rated Sony exclusive in 5 years now.
Well, I can say this much:
Some of the things on that list are true, some are VERY true, some are disingenuous, and some are just rather silly and rather irrelevant. But, in the end, the assertion that I'd take it more seriously from a male... nope. Actually I take this issue a lot more seriously from my niece's gaming experiences (who has experienced some issues) than I ever would from a man, who the whole point is doesn't experience the crap that women does so he probably at best is just regurgitating what he has been told rather than testifying on such personally.
There is some real issues out there, the problem is much of this debate isn't centered on those issues, it is instead been focused on the really dumb stuff that just needlessly muddies the waters.
@jg4xchamp: I agree with every word you just wrote, I just don't like that were shedding more light on the bad apples while simultaneously grouping this industry and it's followers as misogynistic D-bags.
Maybe I shouldn't take offense as someone who has always believed the hobby was for everyone of any tastes, but I watch that shit and it makes me feel like the losers that actually are gender hating elitists.
I love discussion, and I don't doubt that the things people bring up in defense of a more open industry are fact... But i do have great issue with generalization.... Who exactly is that video for?
Like you said, there are certainly issues within the industry, whether they effect all or a vocal minority, they are there, but please don't group the folks that adore games and gamers in with it....
Yeah, calling McShea a "bitch" or whatever else is thrown at him is the mature way of responding to the gist of the video at hand.

not the mature, just the honest.
I have no idea what the TC is trying to say.
Kevin V is the video too. So................................what?

Well said. I can't wrap my head around why a lot of male gamers feel threatened over this.
@hernandezzzz: An 8 is enough reason to wish ill will to somebody? Lol.
I'm walking up to his house with a torch, right now. See ya in five.
Seriously though, I hope he has a long and fulfilling life, I just don't think he's a good reviewer. Showing up in such a ridiculous video doesn't help, either. Let's be 100% honest here: we don't harass women, we harass everyone.
wait wait wait....they support this lady. If anything being associated with this women makes you nothing but a joke to me. I dont care if your male,female,trans,alien or what have you.
My friends; I see a huge paradox.
We have both gamespot and IGN staff members on celebrity feminists "Anita Sarkeesian" youtube channel; attempting to inform us cretins in a self important "save the world" manner.
But, the very workplace they inhabit/ed; inherently drives and promotes sexism. Woman are quite literately eye catching objects to be leered at.
I believe this is what they call "hypocrisy".
