Anita Sarkeesian will tell you what videogames should be like

[avillaxParticipant 280]

That’s right, now developers have to get on their knees and do what this self-entitled woman tells them to do, even if that means nobody is going to buy their games in result, but it doesn’t really matter, anything to keep the feminists happy!

Ugh, Kotaku…the white knight/feminist gaming page.  I bet they’re happy to write about anything Anita says.

[FitzBonesParticipant 304]

Dont get me started on this bitch. I’ve been playing computer games for 20 years and now she comes in n tries to f~~~ em up. Utterly disgraceful the way an industry is shamed by this halfwit. Never ever buying from a company that acquiesces to her. One sale wont make a difference but maybe other gamers will do the same

Uhoh, someone has nothing better to do with her time then whinge and demand we infuse video games with her socialist nonsense.

[BritGHOWParticipant 2566]

I’m right with you Fitz, by all means make games aimed at women but any developer that just once kowtows to Sarkeesian and her ilk by bringing this kind of crap into male oriented games will never see another penny of my money.

[DurdenParticipant 1051]

She can’t actually design videos games. Nor does she have the qualifications to manage video games. Thus her only recourse is to make a living riding the victim bandwagon. More than likely companies who bend to such ideologues will lose dedicated customers like Nintendo did when it went family style. But time will tell and as we have already seen great games like Mass Effect trilogy bend to the will (What a s~~~ty ending). We will what could have been great games go south but the companies that thrive will stick to their guns.

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything

Don’t make women sexy, I don’t like the competition. – Anita Sarkeesian

Her power to immediately bore me is astounding.

My main concern is that Anita’s supporters can’t see that she’s a f~~~ing con artist.

[ElamshinParticipant 30]

I buy lots of good games. I follow game development, participate in the more interesting discussions and betatest (when available) those games I find to be most interesting of the lot.

I play a lot. I usually do not stop playing an interesting game until I’ve completed it fully with all achievements done. My Steam statistics show I generally play around 40 hours per week and my favourite games have clocked 300-700 hours of gametime.

Gaming has been my main entertainment for better part of 35 years, since the first gaming consoles came out.

Anita, you do not tell us what videogames should be like..we do.

[TheBardParticipant 974]

I remember seeing this when it came out. Who the f~~~ does this bitch think she is to make these demands? Maybe a woman who has worked in the industry, worked on games that have sold millions, and actually play games has a right to say what should be in a game, but not this fraud.

Number 2 is stupid. Armor can be whatever it wants. So what if it isn’t realistic that sexy armor doesn’t make sense. It is fantasy it isn’t real. Also with both male and female armor in almost all RPG’s body armor makes your strength, dexterity, agility, magic, etc go up and that is unrealistic. You never hear a man say “omg this plate armor gives me 150+ strength, that is so fake”. Also not every job needs defense armor. Rangers, Bards, Rogues, Dragoons, Monks, Black Mages, and White Mages don’t need defensive armor because they don’t defend so why can’t they wear whatever they want? Anita wouldn’t think like that because she doesn’t play video games lol.

I wouldn’t call myself a gamer, but this is one of the biggest reasons Anita Sarkeesian drives me up a f~~~ing wall. She’s conned tons of gamers out of their money for something she SHOULD do for free, something others do for free, and yet keeps making demands. Not to mention she’s stolen art from people who are/were her fans. Anyone who likes her loses my respect right off the bat.

Right on point, Bard. I mean, huge shoulder armor would be extremely cumbersome and would wear the user down in minutes to actually wear. But hey, if you can’t get feminists whipped up in a fury about it, why bring it up?

[Jim01Participant 6678]

who in their right mind at as a public speaker would put “less s~~~ty” in their slideshow? Shows the level she is at

I would like to just ignore her but the problem is in most review sites I go on the reviewers are manginas and say how games are sexist for the most ridiculous of reasons and that crap will filter through to the developers

look at the most recent call of duty (whatever you think of that franchise it is a fun 6 hour blast) where they introduce a random female character and spend a whole cut-scene saying how brilliant she is and she is one of the only characters that doesn’t die.  It would probably be misogynistic if she was killed off even though it is acceptable to kill 100s of men throughout the game – annoying double standards as always.

I have been a gamer all my life and love it but it is being steadily ruined by loud pressure groups like everything else has been

[avillaxParticipant 280]

What happens is that after the gamer gate incident companies are pretty much forced to yield to feminist demands, I bet now the government is putting pressure on them and the saddest thing is that they probably had to pay for this bitch’s travel expenses and install extra security in the room as they had metal detectors!

Imagine if you’re an IT engineer, your boss would force you to go to a feminist conference you don’t want to go and on top of that go through the hassle of passing through security check points, all because of 1 self-entitled bitch!

[MgtowWaveParticipant 4352]

#GamerGate is one and only one instance where standing up to feminists met some measure of success.

frankly my dear i don't give a damn

[Governor Megachris%Participant 3584]

Now that I think about it, semi-off topic, I have a certain personal beef with Kotaku…I should complain to them for using a video of me pulled from YouTube several years ago.  The article was titled “R.I.P. Guitar Hero”, and they talked about how playing the arcade version would be “embarrassing one’s self, like this guy here” [insert video of me playing it at my local boardwalk, actually having a good time].  I should call them out for stare rape/misandry/showing a video of me without consent, right?

Remember GTA San Andreas? holy hell that game got took off the f~~~ing shelves because of these damn feminists.

It just amazes me how you can easily make money off of stupid people. It makes more people want to be in that business. I mean, take this FemFreq video:

And take the video that debunks it.

[KingOfTheSeaParticipant 1270]

@grayfox: And the saddest part is that the people who debunk these vids do it for free because they’re actually decent human beings!
