I'm about to generalize here - and for that I'm sorry (not really).

If you are a male gamer who is obsessively trying discredit Sarkeesian you are terrible. For those criticizing her tone... grow up. For those who claim she isn't a gamer (probably not true), it shouldn't matter whether she is one or not. The pure insanity in comment sections and threads that this woman inspires is more evidence than any video she could make that we as a culture have an issue with respecting women. That's it. I'm not saying you have to agree with everything she says. I'm saying that all these immature attempts at discrediting her are unproductive to the actual REAL issue at play here - which is how we portray women in games, movies, television and more. This is a completely valid thing to discuss. And it shouldn't matter who is inspiring the topic, just that it's happening at all. Everything else is a distraction. If you have spent anytime on the internet starting threads like this one you need to take a hard look at yourself. Treat the women in your life with respect. Do I have to get your mother in here to scold you all? Because based on the comments it seems as if everyone is between the ages of 14-16.



run away!
