- Why do people hate Anita Sarkeesian so much
|
inspired by the Joe Rogan topic
What has she done that is so abhorrent? The extent of my knowledge of this woman is that she made some youtube videos about how there were a lot of sexist tropes in a bunch of video games, and then a lot of gamers lost their s*** and started sending her death threats 24/7. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that a lot of games, esp older ones, are kind of sexist because they were basically made by nerdy dudes for teenage boys (i.e. fighting games with huge boobies jiggling everywhere and revealing costumes, s*** like tomb raider, etc). like i didn't really think this was a point of contention, it's kind of a given. so why the hate?

She kinda breeds a toxic and hateful environment with her words.
But also, she attacked video games

What's wrong with big jiggly boobies in revealing costumes?
also didn't she scam people out of thousands of dollars? She promised a bunch of videos and never delivered and spent that money on shoes and s***. |

Because anyone with a brain can see she's a gigantic con artist (she literally spent kickstarter money on herself since it didn't go into those s*** videos) yet feminists keep feeding her money hand over fist so she won't go away.

She is not wrong on everything she says. It's just the way she words her arguments. if she said it without attacking the target audience (the evil straight men) I can guarantee that people would react differently over exactly the same argument.

cuz she's a con artist

she is an insecure soul who triggers other insecure souls who take her brand of freedom of speech as a threat of some sort. becomes "justification" for them to be repugnant individuals.
example: death threats.

i like that she's willing to point out sexist or outdated things in games, but she doesn't go deep enough into things and frequently misinterprets things, leading to people believing that she doesn't actually play games and only skims them
|
|
She triggers incels
N/A
|
|
the short answer is she used kickstarter to get over $140k worth of money to make videos of s***.
the s*** she did with movies she'd done for free. That's why no one cared. |
|
She doesn't believe any of the s*** she spews out. She's doing it for the money.

She's a trash-tier human being who continues to trick idiots out of their money. Which is fine, as that's how capitalism works. I just wish people would stop talking about her.

The worst thing she did was speak at the UN to get criticism and insults banned because she lumps it all together.

Although I disagree with the first sentence, I do agree with the rest of the post. Her arguments would be better received if she conducted her argument with more context and substance than simply firing off SJW buzzwords and personal attacks on "white males."

I wouldn't have known about her if people weren't crying. like Lavar Ball. had no idea who he was until the tears started. literally the guy just talks too much, lolololol.

I believe she means well, but she seems very misguided and as someone who doesnt truly understand the medium she criticises.
The hate she gets is disgusting though. It is fine to disagree with her (and you probably should anyway) but people take it way too far. But that is the internet for you sadly. |

She blames shooters and mass killings on men whilst showing not a bit of remorse. That alone is reason to justify the hate.

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/75505699 I mean, I dont believe she thinks she is being malicious. In her eyes, she is doing something good and feels she needs to be done. Of course, what she does is anything but. But she doesnt come across as actively malicious is all. |
|
Because she's extremely self-righteous and aggressive with her message, whilst simultaneously being offensively misinformed and trying to pass herself off as a fan of gaming when it clear as day she's just a scam artist trying to milk money from SJW tears.
that's why |

It's not the quality per say, it's the fact a literal teenager could make the same videos she did with zero dollars. Where did that $150 grand go? Straight into her pockets that's where.

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/75505699 to be fair this is kind of a hard thing to use as evidence because boogie has the emotional fortitude of a 6 year old. sounds like she said one mildly critical thing and he cried for a week

She's a con artist who spews self righteous nonsense 90% of the time. Unfortunately it triggers the s*** out of alt-right incels so it's kind of a wash for me, since I loathe both groups.

You want to know why Anita Sarkeesian gets so much hate? Well lets look at her track record:
-when she first started her kickstarter she lied about all the hateful messages she received to drum up more support for her kickstarter -lied about "loving" games -stole lets play footage for her videos -presented not only piss poor research but didn't even use the scientific method once -lied about the games she was talking in her videos on top of constantly presuming the intent of the developers (which is admittedly my biggest issue with her) -constantly b****es and whines about "straight male gamers" -blames "straight white males" for all the violence that happens against women -never responds to her critics except to only call them "harassers" -inserted herself into a controversy that had nothing to do with her -got into a pissing match with Zoe Quin and Brianna Wu on who was the bigger victim -tries to tell game developers how they should make their games -goes to the UN to advocate for internet censorship because she can't handle her critics -four years and a quarter of a million dollars later has never finished her tropes vs women series -almost forgot that she even made up tropes like "fighting f*** toy" -lied about all her critics being "straight white males" -"everything sexist, everything is racist, everything is homophobic and you have to point it all out" -whines about misogyny where there is none (otherwise known as making mountains out of mole hills) -harasses others then claims she was harassed -shuts down anything she can't control -constantly went against both police and FBI recommendations that she stay away from social media while they conducted their investigation and this is off the top of my head. Now I'll just quietly wait here for someone to insult me like calling me an incel (whatever the f*** that is)

They targeted gamers.
Gamers. We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did. We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun. We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second. Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded. Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights? These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a s***ty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Sargon, Boogie, AlphaOmegaSin and Anita what they need to do is shut up or fight to the death or something.

Because a lot of people don't like what she has to say. I don't always agree with her, but much of what she's pointed out is true, and rather than be angry over the baked-in inequities in our society and culture, some shoot the messenger for bringing them bad news.
