If you don't buy it, and tell your gamer friends to not buy it, that's money that said videogame will never receive in profits. They lose, you win.

That's far less passive than simply ignoring the problem like you seem to advocate in your previous post.

For example, if people were to do something drastic like stop buying CoD games, it would follow that the game developers for CoD would poop their pants and get ready to make something different or new. Maybe give their fans and former fans what they want.

But you would also have to vocalize what you want, rather than hope they just magically know what you want.

The problem I have with your white-knighting is that it's unnecessary

And the problem I have is that you consider me white-knighting for defending someone who was threatened with rape and death who happens to be a woman, which has just lowered my opinion of you a few notches. (All under the assumption the 'your' is directed at me specifically, and not a general 'people who are defending whatever-her-name-is'. Though even then, the painting of all of them as 'white-knighting' is still very poor form)

you already have videogame companies by the balls. They cater to you, and the rest of the fans. Just change the dominant social image of a supposed socially stunted man-child and then the sexism goes away.

Is that not part of what these videos are striving to achieve? To get people to recognize this and change accordingly?

Simple if you only focus on you, and assume people will be intelligent enough to do the same.

That assumption failed me time and again, to the point that I stopped assuming it.

Ignoring a troll is the best way of getting rid of them.

All that is about direct response to a troll, and for the most part I'd agree with you, but the response was the exact problem that what's-her-name was talking about, and ignoring it will not fix the underlying problem that some consider it okay to do things like that. I may have been misinterpreting your statements earlier in that I felt you were advocating not referencing the rape and death threats and pretending they never happened. By pretending it never happened I am giving silent consent, just the same as I'm giving silent consent by not interfering in a murder taking place.

except for the opposite of what you actually want to accomplish.

I'm pretty sure the fact that we're having this conversation that the goal of 'draw attention to this situation' was achieved with flying colors.
