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.

fair points
however, i think you should pay attention to the fact that elavating someone to the status of god and calling any criticism of them as uncalled for because they are a woman is nonsensical for several reasons
one of which is that feminists themselves claim thaxt they are trying to achieve a world where its not someone's sex that grants them respect and admiration but their actions
as a result what i'm investigating here is the actions of anita as the feminists are telling me to
and her actions here imply that she may have made up the threats against her
i think you need to take a step back and analyse what you're doing here as it is defeating the very cause feminists are claiming to be fighting for
and that is to hold women accountable for their actions and not treat them like children
