Fat Feminist doesn't like Fat Princess
http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-write-letters.htmlThere is this capture the flag type game. Ony instead of a flag, you are trying to capture an obese woman. Well rescue technically. Doesn't so much matter. Whats funny is that fat feminist are causing a minor, but ever so amusing, internet shit storm.

The game looks stupid, the post about it is relatively stupid (but with some great vocab words like heternonormative) and the trolls flaming the post are stupid. God, a trifecta of stupid. Just like most internet shitstorms.
@Jeepster: remind you of any other storms we've experienced lately?
no comment.
I don't get involved in internet fights anymore, thank god.
I just love their style of argument. Any and all disagreement means you hate women, hate fat people, and/or are privileged. Often all of the above. Anyone who says "Don't you think there are more important issues?" is met with "STOP TREATING ME LIKE A LITTLE GIRL!" It's a shame that loud, shrill voices like that seem to lead the dialog.
I don't find the angry feminists' style of argument any more lacking than anyone else's. Can you tell me where loud shrill voices DON'T lead the dialog, and will you take me there if I pay for the gas?

Wow. That's pretty damn knee-jerk of them. The game looks adorable and fun. The point does not seem to lie in doing violence to the fat lady, or collecting winsome maidens for your harem. And it's a pleasing spin on the theme of saving the princess with a dash o' Hansel and Gretel for whimsy. I'd play the shit out of that shit.
