Anita and the white knights

So, I like video games. I play fallout a lot. I'm a nerd. 
So, shit related to the realm of nerddom interests me. I wonder if any of ya'll have caught wind of the lightning rod that is Anita Sarkesian and the "sexism in video games" bullshit she peddles?
It's generated quite a stir on, well, most visibly on youtube but certainly there are quite a number of forums with related discussions.
Generally speaking I just gotta say how her arguments are a gigantic fucking stretch, and at the same time, stupid as fuck. Besides that she is literally a con artist getting money from people to play games while simultaneously admitting she does not like video games. She is conning people.
It was a realm where it was all about being entertained, innovation, and just a fun escape from all the political bullshit in society. But NoooOOooo - dipshits like this had to make video games ANOTHER fucking battlefield for their social agenda and politically correct tripe. No doubt, this con will have more influence on how games are made in the future than the actual players.
Alas, I share this video. The epic nature of this rant, is fucking glorious.
Beholdeth, and enjoyeth.

Yeah it's kinda fucked that people are making it another arena to push their social justice bullshit. And not even that but not even genuinely giving a shit about that arena which doesn't remotely affect them anyway and still spewing shit all over it.

These people will attempt to hijack anything successful for their own agendas because their nonsense cannot stand on its own..

Basically.
Just thought I'd add a note there isn't exactly a ton of context in that video as to the entire controversy. I mean I summarized it a bit but still there is more detailed refutation of her bullshit out there on youtube with links/sources and whatnot.
She has certainly succeeded in pissing off a LOT of people with her bullshit.

Its important to examine issues like this, I just don't think that the player of a 'sexist game' should be considered sexist by extension.

I feel bad for her children. I'm sure 99% of movies/video games their mother will label sexist and they will be completely sheltered. They'll get to a friends house and get their tv/video game fix in like a crack addict that just scrounged up enough for a rock after being dry for a couple days.

They'll only be allowed to watch The View and other bullshit.

holy shit I've played this like 5 times now, this guy fucking cracks me the fuck up. play from 10 minutes on
some lady is making the retarded claim that scientists haven't discovered a simplified formula for turbulence in fluid mechanics because men have dicks that aren't fluid and smooth.
it's not that solid mechanics is easier than fluid mechanics because fluid mechanics has fucking billions of interacting parts, it's because PENIS.
