She makes me too angry to keep watching.
So, when I was wee-one, I use to play this pony-barbie game on the computer, the idea of the game was you raised horses in a stable, could brush them, ride them, etc. Thinking back on it- that game was way more sexiest than the majority of modern games. I remember being frustrated playing it because I couldn't be a male character, and everything had to be pink and girly.
Now, sure there are plenty of games like Fable I where the main protagonist was a male character, and the majority of dialog and such was masculine, but then you also have the tomb raider series where the main character and protagonist is a female character- with no male character playable.
Now I haven't done nearly as much serious research as her ( ) but she is definitely picking and choosing which examples to use to create this false sense of sexism in Video Games, for every example she uses I can think of twice as many that contradict everything she is saying.
She is obviously just using this whole feminist video-game player'thing to perpetuate her career and make money.

Obviously. She has done VERY well at it too. She's rich now, because of this. And she hasn't delivered her promises to her kickstarter donators. Some of them are quite pissed. There is talk of suing her, because she hasn't delivered her promises and wont refund them. She probably already spent all the money. And she claims to be a non-profit organization, but refused to make her books available to someone who asked, which is against the law and punishable by jail time and very high fines. Last I heard someone was actively pursuing that and multiple reports have been filed against her. Good. I hope she goes to jail.

I hope she finds her way to prison as well.
She is doing nothing but creating a huge issue out of something that isn't there.
Now thanks to her, we are going to have all sorts of feminist, gender bias shit and video game designers are going to be afraid to do this, that, or the other thing in fear of angering the militant feminist players.
What a bitch.

It is a spoof game poster for FABLE.
I think it is merely suppose to be humorous.

Ah, then a feminist made it. Almost without a single doubt. That's the narrative they LOVE to push

Well, it is like when feminist say "We should treat men and women the same"
But.. "You should never hit a women"
Just an example, but I think it gets the point across.

Shroomism said: Yes actually I would. Watch the videos I posted.
Anita Sarkeesian criticizes anything she can find in video games that can be perceived as "bad" against women, minorities or children and she has addressed those exact issues in some of her videos. ...
Awe, come on. She has super valuable insights into gaming.
Take her (on-topic) input on Bethesda's presentation this year:

Doom is too violent; Dishonored 2 is only worth noting because she would prefer not to have to play as a man in it; and Fallout 4 shouldn't focus so much on the harshness of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the need to protect a village of struggling people from armed raiders.
No wonder she is paid so much. People who hate gaming can lap it up.

lol.. that's a pretty humorous article. Doesn't say he made it though, although that's most likely as reverse image search shows that as the main link. Although... don't have to be a female to be a feminist :P lol. Just playing devil's advocate.
I can see Anita Sarkeesian picking up that art and using it as an example about how misogynistic and promoting of rape culture video games are. Fuck I'm surprised she hasn't already.

After reading that, I literally face-palmed in real-life.
Is she really complaining about the violence in DOOM? Like omg, you dumb bitch.

"A bit sad that Dishonored 2 didn't make the leap to an exclusively female lead but really pleased they're using Emily in marketing!"
Wouldn't that make the game sexist... by HER definition? Oh right.. it's not sexism if it's the other way around, I forgot.
How did that bitch get an invite to E3 She's not an industry professional. She's not even a goddamn gamer.

She got invited because she has successfully scared and bullied the gaming industry.
Yeah, it is not sexist if the main role is female, but it is if its a male protagonist.
Dumb bitch is dumb. Smh.

Makes the game much more strategic and fun. its the only way I play nowadays
Nope. I play games for the stories mostly. I don't put it on easy I want a little challenge, I don't want to just be slaying everything everywhere I walk without blinking.. But very hard takes the fun out of it for me.. It's like Dark Souls or something. Constantly dying and getting pissed off.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

These anti-SJW buttholes are just as or more obnoxoius as feminists. I have never seen feminists blow up a thread on a game with feminist nonsense like this, it is always people freaking out about feminists, arguing with noone just "getting the word out" about this phantom element in the game industry that you only need to look to internet blogs and youtube channels to see 
Fuck off. Plenty of people have tried to censor games and failed. Anita Saskerian is a journalist who was made wildly successful by this whole gamergate thing. Feminists are allowed to have an opinion and write about video games, even make video games however they want, right? To say otherwise would be censorship.
