I like what happens in the conversation sarting at about 2:00 to around 2:10. Notice where the conversation starts to slip towards and gets bluntly cut off.. ending with, "..and then Gloria, what happened?.".

jokes are easier to get if they're funny

>> ^ponceleon:

Jokes... you don't get them.
If you didn't notice, I was being sarcastic. I upvoted the video and found it quite funny. I was actually just trying to poke fun at it using the same brand of sarcasm that the video itself uses.
You fail at sarcasm. (and that is not meant sarcastically.... wait... maybe it is).

This is a very typical "male victim" response. Maybe you should read things more carefully. Did I not say many guys online are great? How am I sexist for noting that I get harassed online for being a female? And of course you can make films about whatever you want...so it's just a coincidence that MOST films and games are men rescuing women, and not the opposite? I really don't understand the logic behind your argument. ALSO I didn't say any story with a damsel is sexist...all I was unhappy with was people criticizing this video for pointing out a truth about gaming story lines. I didn't even use the word sexist lol. Look who played that card. Anyways...yes I did say "most guys" only in relation to caring about these issues...because...well I've been alive for a while and that has been my experience. Correct me, but do you ever chill with your mates and discuss the struggle of the suffragettes, or unequal work pay...or how more young girls go missing around the world in one year than in all the 20th century wars combined? I doubt it.

So...if a director wants to specifically tell a story about a young boy rescuing a young girl they have to go "Oh wait, I better not tell this story, it's fucking sexist"? You see this is equally ludicrous, so is the notion that for every "boy saves girl" story, the world needs to make a "girl saves boy" story. When a director wants to tell a story of a female lead, they will do that (e.g. Bayonetta, Samsus, Heavy Rain), the rarity of this occurrence doesn't mean that "damsel in distress" stories are sexist, it means not enough people with a different story to tell aspire to be game directors.
It's also laughable (and sexist) to lump "most guys" in to a generic stereotypical group but thanks, it's great being just a "guy", I feel super equal right now, that must be better than regular equality.

Stupid Girl Speaks Against Feminist Movement

She's no dumber than Gloria Steinem, who after all was said and done, married a rich man (Batman Bale's dad, no less). Another harlot falls to the patriarchy!


Congratulations on bringing up yet another point that has nothing to do with the video.

Stupid Girl Speaks Against Feminist Movement

World's Worst (or best?) Stripper Ever

precious taft delivers the best soul monologue of all-time

tcrane says...

Aspiring actress Precious Taft appeared on Stairway to Stardom performing a monologue from a play called The Gingham Dog. The best part is the dramatic ending, where Precious (playing the part of Gloria) avows to bash her child's head against the "Goddamn radiator", dramatically drops the microphone, and the host creepily tells her how beautiful the performance was.

The nuanced monologue delivered by Ms Taft is from the play The Gingham Dog by Lanford Wilson, about marital tension between a mixed race couple. This tour de force of the dramatic arts lasted a full five performances during its Broadway debut in 1969.

The "hutch" referred to in the monologue was where Gloria and her husband Vincent lived:

Barbara: What was the hutch?
Gloria: That's what they called the place where we lived. One of the Black guys Vince played ball with, was up from Georgia, used to raise rabbits and he called the place the rabbit hutch because you can't imagine how cramped it got with eight or ten basketball players packed in there eating spaghetti.
