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.

I don't know enough about Anita personally to say if your accusations are true but other than lying about games, none of that is really relevant to the arguments shes making in her videos. And if she is making a killing on youtube, I say good for her. In a world where people like pewdiepie can make millions, why shouldn't she be making money? Shes actually putting out thought provoking content as opposed to the iq destroying content that is so common on youtube.

I'm not sure I understand your analogy to the fps make children kill comments. I understand why gamers hate when people claim that games are responsible for crazy people doing crazy things but that is totally different from what Sarkeesian is doing in her videos. She isn't calling for legislation to ban sexist video games she is just bringing to light examples of sexism in games. And as she says in most of her videos "It is entirely possible to enjoy a peice of media while also criticizing it's more pernicious elements." I think that may be the root of the problem. People seem to think Sarkeesian is asking them to feel guilty for enjoying video games and noone likes being asked to feel guilty about their hobby. Shes not asking anyone to feel guilty, she really is just pointing out lazy tropes in video games. This can only be a good thing. I hope game developers get more creative and stop relying on the same tired tropes.

Yes, women are physically weaker than men, that is (generally) true, but I don't think that necessarily equates to them needing more protection since most fights in video games aren't really a battle of who is phsically stronger. 

However, I think Anita Sarkeesian is trying to make the case that the way women are represented in games has implications in the real world. This is probably the most controversial aspect of her argument since a lot of people will say its just games, its not that serious, but I'm not a woman, I can't really say if these things have an affect, I can only listen. I've seen women say that it doesn't bother them at all, but I have also seen other woman who say that it is a problem. Which group is right and which is wrong? Who is to say they aren't both right?

If I had any criticism of Sarkeesian it would be that she doesn't spend much time addressing positive portayals of women in gaming. She would do well to not just give examples of the negative but to also maybe make sepereate episodes that talk about what portrayals she has enjoyed. On her channel she does this for movies and tv so I'm not sure why she doesn't do the same for games.

she is lying in her videos to make games and gamer look bad, and she scamed good people out of 1000ths of dollar.

do we need videos about sexisms in gaming and the gaing community? yes, do we need anitas stupid lies? no.

im playing a lot of video games with a  female friend, she has no problem with sexism in videogames, she has the problem with sexism in the videogame community.   its all stupid whiteknighting or herassment what she gets in multiplayer if someone sees that she is female.

we had to  stop letting people on our ts server, because everytime we invite our teammates to it, there were problems.

THATs the real problem.

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.

Do you have examples of her lies?

u havnt played hitmen, or havnt seen her videos^^ the whole part is a lie...

Who's she?

I don't think you really want to know.. :S

She is a person who using kickstarter money made a channel on Youtube called feminist frequency, were she talks about how woman are misinterpreted in gaming. She is now reaping the benifits of taking a controversial subject such as this head on.
