She moved on to some other grift. As far as I'm aware, she's still out there making low effort content and trolling people into giving her attention, she just shifted to some other hobby.

idk what she's doing now but I imagine she probably keeps a lower profile given she was probably in fear for her life for having opinions on video games

She kept her head down and produced her show for the audience who wanted to see it. Just like she did before the backlash against her.

Yeah this shit was insane/ I remember seeing people posting pictures of her house, saying they were going to assault her and stuff. Those gamer bro days were horrible

Iirc, she has a fairly successful podcast now and seems to be doing okay

I don't care enough about Anita Sarkeesian to watch her content, but can we acknowledge how the backlash against her was dumb as dogshit?

People were mad she crowdfunded a series of videos, saying she stole people's money for "low effort content". Nowadays we have Patreon where content creators bring in thousands of dollars a month to make their specialised niche content, where fans of that content pay their favorite content creators out of pocket, which essentially normalised what Anita Sarkeesian did in the first place.

Then the complaint was that she ran away with the money. Anita Sarkeesian released annual reports detailing her views, her funding and where the money was going: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2015/01/24/anita-sarkeesian-releases-kickstarter-breakdown-raised-440000-in-2014/

Then the argument was she never produced the show she was crowdfunding, which made the Kickstarter fraudulent. Not only did she finish the Tropes Vs Women in Gaming series or whatever, she added a bunch of episodes because of how much money she got. She produced multiple seasons of the show with the backing that she got.

And then people had the gall to piss and moan and complain about the state of the world because Anita Sarkeesian was popular and had influence.

So let me get this straight.

You turn her into a household name overnight because you don't like what she's doing.

You complained about the worth of her content, turning her into a scapegoat for the entire feminist movement, and you lied about how she made money, what she produced and how she spent the money - all of which she was transparent about. You made her name synonymous with "SJW", "leftist", "feminist".

And you have the gall to cry about how popular she is, and how much reach she had as a public figure?

She wouldn't be a public figure without the hardcore, sustained vitriol she suffered. The people who hated her most are the people who gave her a platform in the first place.

Again - not interested in the quality of her content because I don't watch it. But her detractors have always been, and continue to be, the most stupid motherfuckers on the internet. You don't have to be a fan or a "shill" to recognise the absolute dearth of brain power her hatedom possesses.

The rest of your post is on point, but I don't think these are equivalent.

People found out she was stealing content for the series she crowdfunded and she grossly misinterpreted the issues she was talking about, so they stopped paying attention.

Last I heard from her was that she crowdfunded a series about epic women in history and the one or two episodes of it I saw was basically just a re-arranging of sections from said person's wikipedia article in a 5 minute clip with some shoddy animation added in and I think she got several hundred k for it.

It's a shame that Gamers with a capital G can't be critical without being downright scary and horrible at the same time

Like Anita Sarkeesian is full of so much shit but that doesn't matter because le epic Gamers resort to death threats and misogyny every time

Pretty ironic coming from the crowd that wants to be taken seriously for not being a bunch of snowflakes, but hey

The only thing I remember having some merit against her was that Bayonetta review where she said a bunch of stuff that wasn't true, but she took the video down, so clearly she knew it was a mistake. Most complaints just seemed really mad she was analyzing games in a way people didn't like. People analyze a lot of media in a lot of ways. You can still enjoy media no matter how people are analyzing it. It's okay.

Nah let's be real. Drawing them to be more skinny than they actually are is "fatphobia"

It's the exact same root issue as drawing dark skinned people to have lighter skin.

or as the picture says - one of her arguments against games was misrepresentation of women. Unrealistic expectations. Then we have clearly glamorized and appealing avatars of said women who were arguing against the same shit.

Those aren't unrealistic depictions. They're just not representative of the women they're supposed to be.

i wasnt saying this specifically wasnt unrealistic but that was one of her main sticking points or dramatization of women.
