I'm interested to know what everyone thinks of Felicia Day.
A "quirky" 36 year old who is praised as the Queen Of Geek.

No. 221130

Oh my god I fucking hate her. She's the epitome of fake gamer girl in it for the money, only Sarkesian has the potential power to usurp her.

No. 221135

Jesus fucking christ has anybody here ever been compared to this bitch by beta fuccbois and had it intended as a compliment all because you're geeky, academic and play vidya?

>"you're like my own personal Felicia Day!"

No. 221136

I remember when she was the cute unknown redhead from Buffy and I just don't understand how she became the "queen of geek".

I'm still subscribed to Geek & Sundry since I used to like Table Top as background noise before Wil Wheaton pissed me off too much. It's funny how Day casually cracks un-PC jokes on her channel but is full SJW on other platforms.

No. 221138

Literally don't know anything about her except my Ex thought she was the most awesome, nerdiest not-like-the-other-whores gurl EVAR. So she must pander to neckbeards/losers and shit, I guess.

my boyfriend was exactly the same. He saved hundreds of pictures of her and stalked her constantly. He thinks she's a joke now and the only reason he liked her because she was so pandering to lonely male gamers.

I get how she comes off as annoying, but i really liked her show "the guild" and i also liked her podcast "vaginal fantasy" even though the name is idiotic. Her friends were entertaining and i got some good book recs from it.

No. 221158

I kinda like her, though I don't follow her on social networks or Youtube so I don't know if she's batshit or what. But I liked her in Buffy, Supernatural and the Dragon Age 2 DLC she starred in :/

That DLC was the worst thing ever made. Another way for neckbeards to stroke her ego. She was the worst part about Supernatural. Everytime she opened her mouth I cringed.

No. 221163

I liked her in the first few seasons of The Guild and in Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog, before she really blew up. And she honestly seems like an alright person on the reg, but I think after she got popular she really started to pander to the nerd community, and it's become super cringy.

I guess the "booth babe" comment could be perceived as kind of sexist, although I'm sure that wasn't the dude's intent, but Jesus fucking Christ, they could've just asked him to clarify what he meant. People shouldn't have to walk on eggshells around her just because she's a woman.

I wonder if anyone actually answered his question or if everyone just got offended and told him how great she is and how much she's contributed without actually providing any kind of evidence.

Did you know Anita and Felicia Day seem to be some kind of feminist fake gamer girl buddies? It's a really recent thing not a lot of people are paying attention to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgnmeXpqhX4
The Felicia Day part starts at about 13:39. Anita and Felicia Day are pretending to be feminist victims from ~attacks by gamers~. Felicia Day touted herself as a geek sweetheart and ~hawt nerd girl~ and was surprised she got fawned over but is really just a typical SJW feminist that loathes her audience.
Notch seems apathetic/to dislike the whole gamer culture thing, so they're trying to get close to him because he's fucking rich after Minecraft and they want to sway him over to a feminism ideology, I assume to get some victim funds. Here's pictures of Felicia day kicking her feet up on his table and just boasting about sitting in the "candy room" at Notch's mansion.

No. 221181

>>221169

Felicia Day was making web series (The Guild) since before web series were a thing and Wil Wheaton was blogging since before it was called blogging. They are both media trailblazers.

But as to what they've added to "gaming" culture? Absolutely nothing.

I don't even understand why they try so hard to be "gamers". Their accomplishments stand by themselves so why half heartedly claim to be the one true gamers?

No. 221184

>>221181

Yeah, they definitely seem very successful and accomplished. I can see that even if I don't really like them or agree with them, but I fail to see what they've contributed to "gaming culture".

But of course, nobody is allowed to question a woman when it comes to the whole "geek culture" thing because the whole scene is infested with SJWs who will try to fuck your entire life up if they feel triggered by something you've said.

>Notch seems apathetic/to dislike the whole gamer culture thing


I think anyone >25 is apathetic to the "gamer culture thing". The entire thing is an Xbox 360 era invention. People used to laugh at Fatal1ty's dumb sponsorships and Cliffy B's brogrammer bullshit (funny that Cliffy B now rants about brogrammers when he was the first ever brogrammer). But after 10+ years of trying the "gamer" bullshit somehow actually took hold in the 360 era.

We never used to call ourselves anything but if pushed it would have been "user" or "player". "Gamer" is a total sales invention.

Wil Wheaton is worth less than $500.000 and had to make a cameo in Sharknado 2 with his wife so they could pay their bills. He is not successful or accomplished.
Here is Wil going nuts at a reporter on Twitter for not knowing what he has done for gaming

I agree "Gamer" seems to be marketing pushed on anyone who is more than a casual fan of video games. I honestly do not believe their idea of "gamerz" ever really existed. The whole "Gamers eat Doritos and Drink Mountain Dew while playing on their Hardcore Alienware" was, surprise, something pushed by all those individual companies.

Yes this, she's identical to this filthy hoarder/cat lady I know. She kinda has a meth face. I guess its true you really only need to be female for sweaty nerds to like you and defend your false status.

No. 221236

>>221222
>>221224
I think her physical appeal is that she's thin, but a bit of a butterface. Like, she's not super hot 10/10, so she's more attainable for nerds and geeks? Other, more conventionally attractive gamer girls are just a fantasy for these guys, but Felicia is closer to their own level of attractiveness. If that makes sense. I guess it also makes her easier to relate to and makes her seem more down to earth

No. 221237

>>221234
Double posting but it also pisses me off that she complains about how all of her non-false feminist fanbase (the sweaty nerd portion) call her hot and she thinks that's misogynistic. Yet she willingly participates in things like >>221164, where those types of comments should absolutely be expected.
But all her retard fans are like 'Yeah, you tell them! Fuck online cat-calling!' then they turn around and retweet/blog pictures of the Supernatural dudes fucking.

I can't stand her followers more than her, because if they weren't around to eat her asshole she wouldn't be here. Now that's shes aging, the dudes are leaving and she's just being held up by tumblr feminists. IMO, she's only Sarkeesian-ing now because she knows this.

No. 221239

I think her face is like that because of her overbite. But I really did like her on the guild. And was starting to grow on her in the show supernatural… but then they killed her off,

That must have stung. She quit a bunch of VG voiceover gigs (Guild Wars 2, RIP Zojja 1.0) because legit acting work was keeping her busy.

I sorta felt that all the web series were just to keep her name out there until Joss Whedon found it in his heart to cast her in a leading role, but she found herself stuck in the gamer niche.

I knew she'd be trouble for GW2 for some reason. They had issues with her before all this where her ~real VA~ schedule was conflicting with GW2 recordings.

For those that don't know, GW2 is Guild Wars 2, a big MMO that prides itself on having sort of episodic "Living World" updates. MMOs aren't like normal games where you can just put things off a month when a story and update needs to be recorded. Part of this living world content got delayed a lot and her character just didn't have a speaking roll for a period all thanks to her ruining scheduling.

I am not a fan but tolerate her. The problem is she seems to be the only non-coswhore to reach some distinction.

It's often the case that game or geek culture masses fixate on a few semi-attractive women and those women monopolize the few opportunities that exist.

More women need to get distinction as non-coswhores for things to really change for the better I guess.

I'm not really sure what happened to her. She seemed alright enough to me when she was starting out with The Guild but started to get kind of annoying. Maybe it's the overexposure? That post she made a while back about her getting "attacked" during the whole Gamer Gate drama seemed strange to me too. She didn't actually get attacked but was thinking all these "what ifs" in her mind when she saw gamer bros coming her way. It just didn't make any sense to me.

No. 221386

I remember when dudes I played d&d with like 5 years ago were all on her dick like she was the best thing to happen to geek culture… one of them showed me the "Do you wanna date my avatar" music video because it was his favourite song at the time, but to me that whole video seemed to be just taking the piss out of nerds and how d&d friend didn't realise that and was still just all over her kinda bugged me.

>But for the first time maybe in my life, on that Saturday afternoon, I walked towards that pair of gamers and I didn’t smile. I didn’t say hello. In fact, I crossed the street so I wouldn’t walk by them. Because after all the years of gamer love and inclusiveness, something had changed in me.
