Forums - Gaming Discussion - Edit: Anita Sarkeesian is not helping with the development of Mirrors Edge; Rejoice!

I googled "Anitta Mirror's Edge 2" and similar keywords, and all I found was links to the petition. I also found amateur articles and threads on forums outraged at this, but not a single credible source of this. It all sounds like some sort of rumor.

...so what's up with this petition again? Did EA ever confirm this information? What's their sources?

lol, EA is just using her as a headpiece, if I was the the developer/director of the project and she(or anyone) tried to tell me what to include I'd be like do you have a degree in computer programming? No? Please go sit in the corner.

This petition is as stupid as the people who sign it.

 

Plus you've just called a fair few vgchartz members stupid?

 

If the shoe fits. I'm not going to stay around and read comments to find out.

Look, I assume the team hired her because they thought her input would be valid and could help them make the game the way they want to make it, otherwise she wouldn't a part of the team. What's the big deal?


The big deal is there are more qualified people who arent trying to push and agenda and have experience of both equality ethics and game development.

Anita is literally a youtube commentor being given a job to infect games with agenda. Gamers dont want agenda. As evidence by the 7000 quick signings of the petition. We just want good games. Not games that sell us an ideology. We're not a religion and we're not open to accepting new religious or idealistic beliefs. We just wanna play good games.

This is stupid. No one needs her around. She's not needed for Mirror's Edge. Go work on Dead or Alive..

Oh wait, people want big boobs in that game. Developers included. She can't help either situation. Especially after being a stupid liar trying to get attention for herself.

While this petition is useless and makes gamers look even more misogynistic I don't want this woman near any game, let alone my most anticipated game of this gen.

When did hating women come into not wanting to be sold an agenda?



TRAVIS!!! said:
Wow. People really think her involvement as a consultant could ruin the game? I'm guessing she's simply going to help the team to avoid potentially sexist tropes, which isn't a bad thing if you ask me.


Exactly, you're "guessing". Only God knows what she will do to this game given the chance.

I'm gonna ask again, why are you so outraged and why does this petition exists? Was there any pronunciation from EA regarding this? A credible website reporting this news? What's your source on this one?

Better ask the people who think that way.

I believe this petition plays right into her hands. After all she is famous only for being hated. The more hate she gets, the stronger she becomes.
