Trolls drive Anita Sarkeesian out of her house...

Well I dont know who wants games to be taken seriously I dont know what the advantage of that would be but making mountains out of molehills certainly does not help here at all.

There is bigger problems to be solved and not ones that are semi made up. I also dont see Germans or Russians whining about being the bad guys in video games etc. Or children arguing they are underrepresented in action games (and if they are shown like in Skyrim they are annoying and stupid) Where are all the little kids in Call of Duty? I mean even Dogs are more represented in COD Ghosts or as passive "atmosphere things" in Bf3 etc.

All she did was make youtube videos. How is that "making a mountain out of a molehill"?

If she is making a mountain out of a molehill then what are the people who are sending her death threats doing? The same people who are claiming that this isn't that big a deal are the same people who can't stop talking about how passionately they hate Sarkeesian. Clearly this is pretty serious if it inflames such passion in people. Is sexism in gaming the biggest most important problem our planet faces today? Of course not, but it is the topic she has chosen to address and it isn't any less valid than any other topic of discussion just because it isn't the most important issue of our time.

Just because a group of people isn't "whining" about something doesn't mean that the thing is not a problem either. And are you really serious about children in action games? Children should not be playing M rated games to begin with so they can't be "underrepresented" as they are not a part of that audience in the first place. Why would you choose children as your example? What a strange choice. Even if children as a group had a reason to complain about their portrayal I still don't see how that has anything to do with Sarkeesian's message.
