Stop derailing this thread. You are completely offtopic. Make your own threads.

Ok, you won't donate to Sarkeesian, we got that point. Maybe you will donate to one of her opponents? Then start your own fucking thread but don't derail and go offtopic on other ones.

UMAD? This is VERY on topic. You are asking for donations for a person involved in fraudulent representation of herself. This information is very relevant.

The information is about the old threats. The new one is a fucking school shooting and you have nothing to say.

School shooting? Now who is off topic?

I LOL'd.

PS: Cue the "He laughs at shooting threats" in 3...2...1...

I would recommend not donating mostly because of false representation. I've seen some of the videos and most of the arguments she presents are cherry picked and she sometimes goes to great length to bring up unsubstantiated points. She also makes use of gameplay footage from other Youtube channels. Considering how much she raised for the Kickstarter, there's nothing stopping her from creating her own content. Oh well.

Who can be described as an anita's opponent? Any names? So far it seems her opponents are people who are against liar. That's a lot of people, males and females, and others

This thread is slowly making me realize how much I shouldn't support feminists.

This thread is very useful to expose the third-wave feminist mindset and so called logic.

If she is such a great gamer why can't she show us her game play and the things she hates WHILE playing?  Why the need of stealing other people's video with no credits to them?

School shooting? <snip>

Sarkeesian cancelled after an anonymous person threatened to enact a “Montreal Massacre style attack”, a reference to a 1989 attack in which a male gunman shot and killed 14 women, claiming he was “fighting feminism”.

And this invalidates the earlier exposure of her sending herself death threats on twitter via a shill account how?

"Being a gamer" and "criticizing games" are two different things.

It's like the politicians would ask you to be a politician if you were to criticize politics. Not required to do a critique.

Here Anita is showed holding a gamepad in her hands

She also holds some white game controllers in her hands. One in each hand, separately. What are those called? TECSHARE, no I don't think it's the instruments she used to warp your brains

I'm deeply sorry and I apologize for everything I thought was wrong about her. Holding a gamepad is of course the pinnacle of credibility. Again, sorry.

PS: Or maybe not.

Was that English? So because I disagree with her my brains are warped (by her? wtf)? I think you need a mirror.

It's like the liar who would ask you to tell the truth if you were to expose her. It is required to be critical.

Please stop spreading this gamersgate bullshit throughout the internet to those of us who are intelligent enough to not give a shit about such petty, moronic arguments.

. Matriarchs like Anita accused games of objectifying women and other women like her push the easily manipulated major games developers to do something about it with political pressure

. SOME gamers respond with rage and death threats, Anita and several other gaming journalists respond by deciding that all gamers are misogynists and irrelevant

Meanwhile the rest of us are simply trying to have fun in life and play games and while the two sides are having a fight it's like you just threw something incredibly disgusting all over us by accident. Go fuck yourselves, nothing more annoying than two sides trying to drag bystanders into a fight that have decided they are completely right about everything and anyone who doesn't side with them is the enemy.

By the way, thanks for ruining what was left of the Dragon Age series, we need more indie developers to get rid of these horrid games publishers, I'll be throwing my support behind games like Elite: Dangerous and The Witcher 3.

You didn't watch her video so you couldn't see what I explained. Mostly likely is that you are afraid that you will agree to some of her points which then will make you feel embarassed.

You agree with none of my points or the points of others here and you don't feel embarrassed. Why should I or anyone else feel embarrassed by your position? Most here are mature enough not to let internet arguing taking over their psyche...

She is not a gamer and conned people. She loathes gaming.  Everyone understands that. Does not matter if she is a female or anything in between. She is a fraud.

What no response to my comments?

Bitcoin is all about neutrality, opinions of others shouldn't affect you if you don't think they're credible. If you're looking to donate to Anita, or whatever else organisation, cause and political movement and you'd really like to do it through bitcoin you shouldn't hesitate asking directly.

Seeing that you're also interested to get an opinion on how successful it would be if Anita started accepting bitcoin donations... Well, things are simple, at least in my mind. Her videos represent a female audience and although they attract much attention in the internet most of her supporters seem to be female. Female users of bitcoin are a really small percentage of the total user base. Where do you think this is going?

Check the question "Q1: Why is there no criticism of Sarkeesian or her work?"

[alani123]

Quoting the PM I received from tjohej.

most of her supporters seem to be female.

Tim Schafer, Philippe Poisson "Phil Fish", Jonathan McIntosh https://twitter.com/radicalbytes

From Wikipedia 19:52, 8 October 2014‎:
Timothy John Schafer[1][2] (born July 26, 1967) is an American computer game designer. He founded Double Fine Productions in July of 2000, after having spent over a decade at LucasArts. Schafer is best known as the designer of critically acclaimed games Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, and Broken Age and co-designer of the early classics The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge and Day of the Tentacle. He is well known in the video game industry for his storytelling and comedic writing style.[3]

"Phil Fish" created Fez. Do you know Fez?

Great, I see you were able to mention a few notable examples that are not female. That doesn't really prove anything against the fact that most of her supporters are female. Doesn't it sound logical that the majority of the supporters a female criticising the depiction of women in the virtual world would also be female? There is no good reason to deny that.

If you were to have a look at her twitter followers, this would've been perfectly clear. I guess it would be even more clear if stats like her kickstarter backers, tumblr followers/hashtag users, youtube subscribers, website viewers were more accessible.

Oh additionally, bringing up wikipedia as a way to make the information you represent seem more accurate isn't always the best thing to do. And things are probably worse in this case. Wikipedia is publicly accessible and anyone can edit it. In the past feminist activists have been raiding wikipedia with mass edits in an attempt to inject feminism into Wikipedia.
