I'll admit I just got around watching Tropes vs. Women in Video Games for the first time (yeah, a good 5 years or so late to the party).

From what people told me, I was expecting a crazy extremist host with an extremely biased script, but... Anita Sarkeesian just seems to be politely expressing her opinions, and she even says that these flaws she's exposing shouldn't make us dislike video games, but think a bit more about the clichés they use so often. She doesn't seem dishonest or aggressive either.

Am I not seeing something? What am I missing?

What are you missing? Alot.

 

- She paints a false narrative and uses cherry picked examples of "sexism" and "mysogany" in her YouTube videos.

- She's a close friend and colleague of Zoe Quinn, who despite being a feminist - engaged in sexual favors to get her "game" off the ground and is recently at the center of a fundraiser controversy where she hasn't fulfilled her pledge after more than a year, and now recently stays in Tokyo, Japan - which is ironically one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.

- Anita tried to get Congress to (yes, this bitch AND Zoe Quinn had a seat) to enforce stricter online bullying by allowing female victims to report and subsequently arrest any male whom they deemed were harassing them - basically enforcing a "guilty until proven innocent" system.

- Anita Sarkeesian, admitted on video that she infact DOES NOT play video games. Which is kinda wierd, considering her crusade and self proclaimed knowledge of them that led her to come to the conclusion that sexism is just RAMPANT in video games.

- Anita Sarkeesian intentionally overlooks video games with strong female leads (Horizon ZD, Tomb Raider, Metroid) and continues to harp on developers despite their actual female representation.

- Anita Sarkeesian, is basically a f***ing liar.

- Zoe Quinn, is basically a f***ing hypocrite.

- Anita verbally abused and attacked "Boogie" (yeah, that fat gamer nerd) backstage when he voiced his opinion against hers at a convention panel.

- And worst of all, the video game industry is absolutely TERRIFIED of this bitch. Neil Druckman (Naughty Dog VP) gave Anita an honorary award, and EA recently wanted her "professional opinion" and invited her to their HQ. Interestingly, that was about a year before BFV was announced. Gee..I wonder if those two things have anything to do with each other....

Wrong thread



She's an incredibly toxic and polarizing figure in the industry, a darling of the stereotypical SJW crowd and a master at playing the victim whenever someone offers up legitimate criticism of her work. Just look at her VidCon antics from last year, that tells you all you need to know about her and what a hypocrite she is.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Or maybe it actually is Sarkeesian, trying to get people to like her again.

Seriously, when 80%+, which must span the political spectrum, agree that they dislike her, I think the OP is definitely missing something. Or choosing to remain wilfully ignorant to the crap she's pulled. 

omg you uncovered my true identity

But seriously, now I understand why people dislike her. I might even dislike her myself (but I don't have a formed opinion on that just yet). Idk why you said I'm "choosing to remain wilfully ignorant to the crap she's pulled" when I just didn't know why people hated her at my first post. My other posts were just me trying to stop fake tweets from being spread as real ones.

Well, that was just one of the two options.  The other is you are just missing something.

And you can beat up men and steal their cash, too. Your point? 

My point was to freak out COKTOE.

Oh. Then Godspeed.

She is politely expressing her opinions while deliberately hiding facts that contradict her point. Yes, classy woman.

Give me some examples please

YIKES.

3 of those 6 are fake.

 

CaptainExplosion said:

Ok, her comments about Iwata make me hate her more now.

They're fake.

Each tweet is outrageous in its own right so that doesn't really mean much.

You do make things interesting, but I was 90%+ positive you were sniggering at me while you typed. Gotta allow a few percentage points for a possible stroke.



- "If you have the heart of a true winner, you can always get more pissed off than some other asshole."

Because none of these SJWs are honest.

I mean this is a woman who does not play video games advancing a mythical narrative about sexism. Thunderf00t has several videos dedicated to addressing her bullshit, not the least of which is her expressing her essential hatred for video games.
