Ah, all the poor male gamers having their pet misogyny project blow up in their faces. Yep, you dudes are for sure are ruining Anita Sarkessian’s career. Keep the hate-train going maybe you can get her into the NYT again, or Le Monde or Time or… really the sky is the limit.
*basking in the sweet sweet schadenfreude*
Good Job Gamer Gaters – You may have to blame Anita for starting GG as well, because she must have started it, just look at all the publicity, fame and money she’s getting…
Anyhow, here is the first paragraph from Rolling Stone…go there and catch the rest of the article. :)
“She started with a YouTube account and wound up on the front page of the New York Times. In between, all that the Canadian-American feminist cultural critic Anita Sarkeesian did, via her video series Feminist Frequency, was calmly, comprehensively collect and explain examples of the shoddy portrayal of women in video games. Titled “Tropes vs. Women,” her series on gaming pointed out that the roles most often available to women — from princesses to be rescued to prostitutes to be murdered — are both sexist and unimaginative. If these roles were rethought, diversified and expanded, Sarkeesian argues, gaming’s creative class and audience would be diversified and expanded in turn, and games would become more fun to boot.”
