Yep I can't vouch for every video she ever made but the way most people remember her is something completely constructed by the online right

No I just like watching reaction videos of her getting ripped apart.

Like when she said The Hitman game encouraged you to kill women (the strippers) but the game literally deducted points for killing innocents.

Yeah I watched the whole video game series and a few of her movie ones. If you thought her video game analysis was bad you should watch her review of True Grit.

Her video game series wasn't all bad. I disagreed with a bunch of it but it was way overhated by people who never had any intention of watching it. My biggest problem with the videos is actually that she stole other YouTuber content for her own videos and nothing in the videos themselves.

Lots of people were on Gamergates side initially, on the surface it brought up a very real issue, there's definitely a problematic relationship between the gaming journalists and game publishers.

Of course if that was the entire focus things would have been fine but nope, incels had to make it about various women and absolutely tainted things.

Would have been nice if we could have put a stop to things like Publishers giving reviewers paid vacations to try out their games in a curated one hour early access trip or stop them from sending reviewers super cool press kits full of merch.

Instead damn near the whole movement was obsessed with some indie devs love life and a few other women who had absolutely nothing to do with anything that mattered. Of course those idiots didn't give a damn about the actual issues in gaming journalism, it was all just a cover so on the surface you had people think it was a reasonable complaint until you looked at who the vitriol was directed at.

I watched a couple back when she was relevant. Pretty much everything she did was just basic, common sense stuff, peppered with some dumb takes. The whole thing was clearly just to signal boost her brand, never actually caring about what she talked about.

...Gamergate literally started because of some game dev's ex-boyfriend got upset over their breakup and decided to write a lengthy over sharing blog damning a female game dev as a person sleeping around to get good game reviews (which wasn't even true). While there are actual issues with game devs and games 'journalism', the issue is more that the majority of games journalism works as a fucking PR branch just re-publishing trailers and press statements while afraid of rocking the boat too much to get blacklisted from early review builds/copies/material.

Most people didn't know exactly how it started though, you'd see people complaining about games journalism and like I said, on the surface it seemed reasonable since as you saying there are real issues with games journalism. The second you dig into it more you see it for what it actually was though.

It initially spread as a 'look this woman is sleeping around for praise on her game', so people must not have been paying any attention. >_>

GFaqs naturally will have people say their feelings about games. Like, WTF are you doing here if not to talk about video games at least as a tangential thing? Thus anyone who avoids watching the videos about video games under the basis of "I don't want to hear what other people think" is inherently hypocritical if they stay here.

All of her criticisms were mostly bullshit. If she despises the way women are portrayed in video games then she should use her money to fund development of her own game and portray the characters however she wants.

She won't do that though, because the game would be dogshit and would have terrible sales.

Is this the universal answer for people who are unhappy with the content of videogames (or any media, I assume)?

Don't bother with the criticism or analysis, just fund your own games.

Can't wait to see what the 'they're making my games woke and full of unattractive females!' crowd put out once they shut their mouths.

When you dine out at a restaurant do you walk back into the kitchen after your meal and give the chef a list of things they could have done differently to make the meal better? No, you shut the fuck up and go home lol

If you think you can do it better then you make it yourself.

If you've never made a video game in your life and know nothing about the business, why the fuck would a professional game developer give a shit about your opinion?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Her fans gave her more money than she asked for. She extends d her plans because of that. She only asked for six thousand, and it probably would.have been a far shorter series if she got that. That nearly seven thousand people wanted to give her way more money than ahs asked isn't her fault. Do you know of any of them feel scammed or ripped off by her? Or is it just her haters making that claim?
