For the most part it never bothered me and really didn't notice it. Sometime last year while finding athiesism and soberiety, the offended crowd really started to get under my skin like they have never before. These guys and gals today are mostly punks and pussies who like you stated, do not know true oppression.

I'm fearfull of how quickly a culture can change then lend a society to failure relatively quickly. This is the main reason I follow and pay attention to this stuff now.

I'm personally of the mindset, "If I don't like something, I just won't partake/buy/or consume it."

Too many people nowadays want to yuck other peoples yum.

I think her videos have high production values and that she can occasionally make a good point, though I mostly disagree with her. 

For the funds she received the production quality is garbage, but then again people paid for a message and not quality videos.

The crazy thing is, I also agree with most of her points. Yes we need some change, but it was and is the way her community which she has some power to direct have approached these issues.

Also, anyone who makes death threats to someone over a dissenting opinion concerning video games is an imbecile

That was satirical, making fun of those who do.

Absolutely, but this issue is a little different. You have to agree?

You have a whole raft of industry lobbyists and the first amendment to get past before you can put any regulations on this stuff.

There isn't an appetite in congress to do that.

I think you give her and her following too much credit. I feel much like Diedaily does. I generally just ignore her though. These people thrive on the attention, good or bad.

Meh, I've thought most were better than your average Youtube video but I didn't really keep up with how much she got from her Kickstarter or any other donations she may have received afterwards.

I assumed, but I think some people (maybe even who lurk on this board) think she got what she deserved for putting out an unpopular opinion on the Internet. An expected response doesn't make it the right response.

As mentioned, I agree with her occasionally. Now that I have a daughter who plays video games with me, I'm sort of looking at games a little differently. Every time my daughter plays a game with me, she says "I want to be the girl." Now, I'm not talking about the fact that many games don't even have a girl as a playable character. I'm talking about when she CAN play as a girl. I'm usually left wishing she could be a character that wasn't clearly made to entice the fantasies of a 15 year old boy. That's not to say there can't be characters in games like that, but I'd like more options for her if that's an option.

And I agree that they are mostly awful, but I'll add that many who respond are equally so and only give them more ammunition to draw their sweeping generalizations about "misogynistic male gamers."

Actually a generally nice guy who enjoys fighting.

Edt: Seriously more frustration towards SJWs and the offended crowd. Anita is just the mechanism in which I am exposed to this trend.

shrug...ignore her.

She cherry picks shite to make her point while ignoring other things.

She is the typical feminist who wouldn't know a clue if I handed it to her.

Mostly she is good at spending other people's money.

$1MM yep.

She is a firestarter in all the wrong ways. Have you seen the telimarket videos she was in? She was a PoS from the start.
