“I wrote a blog post about why I fucking hate video games. Because this is what it does. It appeals, like, the male fantasy.”

From: The Internet, Buzzfeed and memes

Genre: Internet, Video Games

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote is more of a meme that was derived from a Buzzfeed video. The video featured self-identified feminists playing Grand Theft Auto V for the first time. The video itself has been taken down from YouTube but is still available on Buzzfeed’s Facebook page here.

The clip has been used with a more satirical look as, after she delivers the quote, clips from other video games, which do not depict the classic “male fantasy” is played.

Geek wisdom: There is always more to the story that what you might see on the surface. People do have a habit of developing tunnel vision, either closing themselves to new ideas or refusing to see the negative aspects of things we enjoy. Always try to broaden your horizons.
