Topic	I was someone that disliked Anita Sarkeesian
LightSnake 05/03/25 9:40:28 AM #26:	Blue_Dream87 posted... When Gamergate first popped off, I only really heard of her from misogynists bitching about her and playing telephone with her message. Then I watched a video of hers and it was... fine? She didn't say anything particularly new, but I didn't find her wrong. After seeing a bunch of freaks whine about epileptics on r/KotakuInAction I finally realized I was in the wrong crowd. You can disagree with Anita, but the level of vitriol really exposed a section of gamers as just disgusting. It's like their whole hobby was going to be taken out back and shot. Don't even get me started on the bullshit with Zoe Quinn. It's really sad that that Internet moment actually influenced alt-right politics. The bigger issues are her attachment to the idea anything with sexuality or violence is inherently "masculine" and reduces women. She's had some painfully bad takes. --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:984938501] in I was some...
