Kindly See That The Subject Of Your Boner Meets With Feminist Gamer Approval

One of them tweeted to Polygon's video producer Nick Robinson, "NEWS FLASH: We don't care about your boners." But it seems they very, very much do.

There's a hilarious little brouhaha reported at Heat Street by William Hicks:

The Anita Sarkeesian-owned nonprofit Feminist Frequency has long been criticized for its sex-negative approach to video game criticism. But who knew they would take it a step further by going after the perverse sexual desires of an employee at the uber-progressive gaming site Polygon. In a moment of openness and humility, Polygon's video producer Nick Robinson confessed to his Twitter followers he masturbated to Krystal, the anthropomorphic purple fox from Star Fox Adventures.

Love the feminist tweet about this:

@femfreq

She's LITERALLY trapped in a crystal. Finding a female character who is damseled and stripped of her agency arousing is kinda gross tbh.

I think being "damseled and stripped of (your) agency" sounds kind of hot. Then again, I can think that and even be that, since I have no shortage of agency. (It's the weakiepoos who have to constantly be on guard against being perceived as weak or not putting on some pretend power front at every minute.)

I likewise have no need for scoldy feminists who set up rules about what everybody is and isn't allowed to say, do, and think in order to protect the fragile baby ducks known as women. (Remember when women used to clamor for equal treatment?)

My fave part of Hicks's post:

We at Heat Street have always held a libertarian view towards perverted antisocial kinks like masturbating to anthropomorphic video game characters and we hope Polygon will join us in pushing back against the evils of kink shaming.

I love this Hicks person -- though, admittedly, not in a jerking off to him while picturing his furry purple tail kinda way.
