So here is the thing on that. The rules of the forums are all fine and good but I'm going to call a spade a spade. It's really not an accusation, its just a fact that plenty of users didn't even give the video a chance. There was even one user who said he was going to learn how to code and make a game for the express purpose of spiting Sarkeesian. That is an absurd level of animosity for someone that the user probably doesn't even know.

I've said it many times before. I just don't get the vitriol being directed at Sarkesian. Yes, she is off base sometimes but her videos are just opinions. She poses absolutely ZERO threat to anything. I get your issues with the video because you articulated them. I just don't understand why more people can't simply argue the merits and flaws of Sarkesians videos instead of either dismissing or demonizing her. 

The frustrating part is that there is actually a pretty interesting dialogue that could be had on both sides if people would just tone down the hostility and argue their positions in a meaningful way. I'm not even saying people should be nice, but at least make some kind of point, the "anita sarkesian is dumb" comments add nothing to the conversation.

Watched the video and I think she do raise some valid points, her only problem is that she goes too far at times. The review will probably be useless to those not interested in these topics but for those that have that interest it's really not that bad.

On a side note I'm apparently following her on Steam. I knew Feminist Frequency sounded familiar.
