Anita Sarkeesian
| Despite my criticism of her work the harassment and death threats that came out of that era in the 2010s was fucking insane and slowly lead us to the nasty divisive politics we're currently mired in.
| If people left well enough alone she'd never have gotten half the funding she did for her mid series, would have faded into obscurity over time and Steve Bannon would never have been inspired to build a new radicalisation engine or design flood the zone with shit tactics.
| Just a lame individual, should of been slop buzz feed content that got max 10,000 views but because games were such a boys space it popped off.
Much like the atom bomb, if it wasn't Anita it would of been some one else so no hate.
But she does exemplify the worst of progressives in that we complain for 3 hours and leave a footnote on how we could do something different.
And the something different is Brianna Wu.
| She grifted well, got government tax deductions and tax breaks for her show and grifted her way to speek at the UN she definitely had a good work ethic that's for damn sure
| I recently watched a 1 hour video about Robert E Lee! And he was very studious and did a good job and gentle with people and didn’t like slavery and freed his slaves but just kinda didn’t see an alternative to doing what everyone around him was doing and probably prolonged the civil war which he didn’t even have the highest hopes for the confederacy to win and was more competent than most other confederate leaders! I think anna is his reincarnation don’t be good at bad stuff that’s extra bad

| So years after all the noise dies down what do you think about her body of work taken in good faith?
Say there's like 20% I agree with somewhat but the rest felt cherry picked or even edited to make a game look worse than it was like how she talked about the hit man stuff with the prostitutes.
But the videos themselves are cookie cutter at best I guess?
