The comment about her point being “sexism in games causes sexism in real life” is literally the opposite of what she was talking about: The sexism in games is an extension of the sexism in society, not the cause of it.
Ah yes, obviously she wanted to be sent countless rape&death threats, have people literally make games about punching her in the face, etc for money and clout(?) /s
People will do anything to defend their reprehensible behavior and harassment, I s2g. “But she wanted it/asked for the harassment!” Yeah ok buddy.
Iunno… “She is an extremely media savy individual.” Having watched her streams before… That’s just not true in the slightest, she’s just a normal woman.
I truly wish she was the galactic brain villainess folks sometimes attribute to her, the world would be a better place if she was.
It’s people trying to feel better about helping her succeed. They want it to be she was manipulating everyone, they can’t accept that their poor emotional and impulse control played a part in boosting algorithms and helping her reach a larger audience.
watching her videos in was obviously feminism for babies
This reads to me like “women should be silent and I know they know it”
She held back and made soooo many excuses for stuff, just pulled punches left and right to give things the benefit of the doubt, and the GG weirdos and their successors act like she was combing through every game for the littlest of details to pretend were huge issues.
Super crazy how these losers still haven’t moved past this/her
Even if it were true that she was cunningly manipulating gamers like a sort of feminist Borat, that doesn’t really excuse their behaviour, does it? “Oh, I’m not *really* an antisemite, I was just singing along with Borat”… “Oh, I wouldn’t usually send women rape threats, but Sarkeesian made me do it…”
Can these assholes just leave her alone? Fuck.
all i can think of is that quote **”Never** ***wrestle*** **w*****it*****h** ***pigs*****.** ***You*** **both** ***get*** **dirty and the** ***pig*** **likes** ***it*****.”**
The way people clung to her with such hatred is actually insane. Like definition of insane
“I am an extremely sad person who has never done anything to truly be worth anyone’s time, so I create problems to piss people off because the small child inside me crying for mommy has decided that negative attention is preferable to no attention at all and because I lack the ability to think about anyone but myself, I assume that everyone else has the same motivation behind everything they do.”
Or something like that.
Ah holy shit, it’s so damn weird to see that forum linked here. I had not expected to see Sufficient Velocity here, I’m an administrator there. Yeah, it was a crazy shock to see to us too, since normally SV is a pretty left-liberal forum!
I think she anticipated that it would happen, but it’s not what she intended.
I can almost see how someone would come to that conclusion, because a good chunk of people found Anita after the hateful nonsense blew up, but it’s not her strategy.
