Modern day (which wave is the newest these days?) feminism is definitely the product of spoiled, upper-middle class bored people.
People with real problems don't have time to make up fake problems. Simple as that.

This reminds me of the final year project we had for our Media course in high school but without the huge bias. We had to examine the gender representation in all kinds of media: TV, radio, books, music, games etc. - our class was 2/3 girls too.
Guess what the conclusions about games were? "Girls don't care about complex games (read: most console and PC games), don't want to play them, have no interest in them, not even if they had more female-oriented content".
That's what 20 girls pretty much all agreed with and turns out the other classes came to the same conclusion. Sure, that was 15 years ago but even today, I see that nearly all girls stick with horrible shit like Flappy Bird, Candy Crush, etc. having zero interest in anything more complicated. Not because they wouldn't be able to play them - they just don't like those.
Sexism? No, it's called capitalism. Girls don't buy games nearly as much, even when they're geared towards girls so why should devs waste time on them? There's plenty of simple games on phones so girls have their wish. Guys have theirs on consoles. If anything phones are in dire need for more complex games.

I find it odd that most people we see in the picture have normal hair colour... so I bet they must be journalists or anti-sjw

You could make a dozen sites by writing articles like that because the media is rotten to the core in the way they twist and alter facts to get readers. It's sad but that's capitalism for you.

It's a consequence of capitalism. Look at newspapers 15 years ago before the Internet created enormous competition and the news was a lot more moderated and researched. Nowadays, they have become extremely lazy in research and are eager to print anything which might mean extra readers - there's plenty of cases which have discovered this to be true.
This is also why sites like the BBC and other state-funded news channels (De Redactie in Belgium for example) have a higher standard than the commercial papers and websites.

Right, because the internet created poorly researched journalism so sez u Maybe in whatever country you're from they have glowing journalism from the world's masterclass journalists, but meanwhile in the rest of the world... we've had shitty journalism from dozens of newspapers and media outlets across every other civilised country ever since newspapers were a thing. But no no, you work for a Printing Company© and if you say the internet is the cause of shitty news reporting, then hey, who am I to disagree? \o/
Because of course it was Teh Internet® that gave rise to;
News of the World. Oh wait.. nope, that's been around since the 1840s.
The Daily Mail. Darn it... this one 1896. I wonder if Edison and Tesla had the internet?
The Sun. Oh wait, again, 1964. Seems to be pre public internet too, but what do I know?
The Daily Mirror
The Star
Daily Sport
National Enquirer
Weekly World News
... egh, I'll just stop. I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, no such thing as shitty printed journalism before the Teh Internet©, I guess. You know a lot more than everyone else because you work for a printing company.

Well for a long while I held the Belgian (where he's from) and the press from The Netherlands a lot higher in regard than indeed places like the UK and others (these days it's lesser)
I still consider it better than what I see over here, which seems to be very selective... but the past 10 years BE and NL news have suffered a lot. Some blame is their cost cutting and going digital. They sure as shit went into the more sensationalism route ever since they discovered the internet market.
I wouldn't blame the internet for shitty press since every market had it's own identity long before that, but I will say that the internet has influenced some press and made them lose their own identity.

I see that as the normal progression of sensationalist rags moving from costly print to infinitely cheaper digital content. As frobisher said, you notice it more readily online since it's everywhere.. it's always in your face, you can see behind the curtain and see how everything works now, with a constant stream of bullshit. Before you had to buy the papers and the magazines to see it. The digital age may well have heralded cost cutting and job losses from the physical print, this is how everything has worked when moving from physical to virtual goods, but to even remotely come close to blaming it for increased sensationalism or claiming that papers "weren't this bad XX years ago" is absolutely wrong and I disagree with that completely.
I can't speak for Belgian newspapers but I can pretty much make a guess and I wager you guys had your fair share of trash, just like the UK, just like America, even like Norway and Sweden.
