Anita Sarkeesian on Colbert

Colbert
She managed to avoid actually talking about her "work".
It's sad that now she will be the go-to person every time women and gaming comes up in the media.

It really was a shame that nothing was said at all that entire time. I also can't tell where her hair stops and her shirt starts.

Who is this person?

She has a youtube channel about feminism in games. Some people like her, some don't. Personally, I haven't watched her videos. If I'm going to get very interested in a big movement or social issues they will be more important than video games.

That is putting it mildly. She has drawn the ire of the /b/ and reddit mouth breathers

More than just that. People don't like her because she lies about her content and her kickstarter. Whenever you don't even play the content you're critiquing and steal gameplay footage from those who have, you're not a genuine person.

What does "feminism in games" mean?

And I don't know anything about that info. Like I said, if I am going to care enough to do that kind of research, it will be more important than video games.

This should explain that to you.

There's a lot to delve into, but there's hundreds of videos refuting or criticizing what she's saying. Here are two opposing views that aren't ridiculous: Escapist and Hoff Summers
As far as your picture, I don't delve in Asian character design. I don't appropriate their culture with whatever cultural norms we have. I think they design women that men would find attractive, and they design men that women would find attractive. That's it.

Those eyebrows gross me out
Posted on 10/30/14 at 12:10 pm to oauron
I usually don't touch Asian cultural differences either.

Nothing ever gets said in Colbert interviews.

I agree but usually his guests at least try to.

There is misogyny is games and they need to move forward but she's doing that progress a disservice, in my opinion. We're not having a discussion about women in gaming, we're having a discussion about Anita Sarkeesian.

From what little I know about it, my thoughts lead me that same direction.

Really good video. She hits the nail on the head.
Most video games do not encourage or turn males sexist or misogynist, just like violent video game don't turn males violent.

that's only happening b/c a bunch of misogynist dickheads think death threats are fine to make towards people they disagree with.

Everyone famous/recognized gets death threats, grow thicker skin and shut the frick up.
