Oh additionally, bringing up wikipedia as a way to make the information you represent seem more accurate
You can't really stop about focusing on people's person instead of content. An unhappy user of Wikipedia? Guess you wouldn't donate your Bitcoin to Wikipedia To everybody else: You wanna contribute to Wikipedia? Take the hint that there's no "critisicm" section at the Anita Sarkeesian Wikipedia article. If you find any I'll be surprised. Do you consider that some people are censoring any information from the Anita Sarkeesian Wikipedia article? Can you provide sources or will this thread just continue with rantings minus backing up claims?

Wikipedia: a well known bastion of truth and high standards in sourcing.
Indeed it is at times. But when it comes to political corectness and controversial events it can be as biased as the authors. And since tjohej asked for examples... Why wikipedia isn't credible in some cases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U26h7dazIO4I guess you could also take the dogecoin and Antonopoulos incidents as other examples as well. Colleges Injecting feminist propaganda into wikipedia: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/09/06/wikistorming-colleges-offer-credit-to-corrupt-wikipedia/Feel free to look up for more sources if you dislike fox.

Alani123, is there anything you don't agree with here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Sarkeesian#Terrorist_threat_at_Utah_State_University? Maybe you have some insight which you would like to share and improve the article in its factual accuracy? The talk page exists so that you can add your point of view + arguments. Maybe your part of the Bitcoin community is afraid of Wikipedia talk pages, generally The most innocent of pages are talk pages, which is for discussions minus rantings(though you can rant, you are allowed to but it's not like your argument is gonna get any further with adding any rantings)

We went from me being supportive towards you for wanting to persuade people you like to accept bitcoin donations to this. I don't have anything against wikipedia, I think it's a brilliant website actually, I too sometimes contribute to posts in my native language. What I tend to dislike from time to time though, is that some entries clearly lean towards a certain direction not being neutral as they should. The specific section of the Anita Sarkeesian wikipedia page seems to have included many sources, and it does a good job trying to back things written there. (It even managed to pass an anti-gamergate statement by containing it withing a couple of quotation marks. But that's another story.) It included 17 sourcing articles covering the same event to produce a paragraph of text, yet the official statement of the Utah State University police posted in their official website wasn't even mentioned once in this paragraph. And what was the title of that statement? POLICE: NO RISK TO STUDENTS

Following a disturbing email received late Monday evening, Utah State University police and administrators have been working throughout the day to assess any level of risk to students or to a speaker scheduled to visit. USU police, in conjunction with several teams of state and federal law enforcement experts, determined that there was no threat to students, staff or the speaker, so no alert was issued. The safety of our students and visitors is always the university’s first priority. At no time was there any imminent threat. The investigation is continuing. The speaker, Anita Sarkeesian, canceled the presentation. She was concerned about the fact that state law prevented the university from keeping people with a legal concealed firearm permit from entering the event. University police were prepared and had a plan in place to provide extra security measures at the presentation. All university business will be conducted as scheduled Wednesday. BACKGROUND Sarkeesian is a Canadian-American feminist, media critic and blogger who was scheduled to speak on the portrayal of women in video games. A number of people at USU received an email regarding the scheduled presentation by Sarkeesian Wednesday at USU's Taggart Student Center. The email contained threats to Sarkeesian and those who attended her presentation. Throughout the day, USU police worked to assess the level of threat with other local, state and federal agencies, including the Utah Statewide Information and Analysis Center, the FBI Cyber Terrorism Task Force, and the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit. After a careful assessment of the threat, law enforcement officials determined that it was similar to other threats that Sarkeesian received in the past. Prior to the threat, Utah State University police were already making preparations for security as the speaker had received similar threats in the past. Enhanced security measures were scheduled to be in place, including prohibiting backpacks and any large bags. Sarkeesian is the author of the video blog "Feminist Frequency," and she writes often about how women are portrayed in video games. In 2012, she was targeted by an online harassment campaign following her launch of a Kickstarter project to fund the Tropes vs. Women Video Games series. Extensive media coverage placed Sarkeesian at the center of discussions about misogyny in video game culture and online harassment. http://www.usu.edu/ust/index.cfm?article=54179

You misunderstood. I'm asking your opinion on Anita Sarkeesian. Is that interpreted as asking for money

You misunderstood. I'm asking your opinion on Anita Sarkeesian. Is that interpreted as asking for money??? I never said you were asking for money. Maybe you misinterpreted what I said. Here's a quote from my first post here with the part that I was refering to highlited: 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?

Anita didn't cancel the talk because of a bomb threat. She canceled the talk because the venue would not force everyone to disarm. She believed that an armed law abiding, audience was too dangerous to speak for, so she canceled the talk and made it look like she was being intimidated into not talking when really she is just extremely anti 2nd amendment.

What the OP wants to know is simple: who wants to donate their bitcoins to the anita's fraud? The answer also is very simple: no one can stop you from doing so. Bitcoin is beautiful like that, but does not help you grow a brain.

Tim Schafer is one of the people who think that Anita Sarkeesian's ideas are worth building upon. If we just focus on him and what he knows about Bitcoin, since he has appeared on Humble Bundle which accepts Bitcoin and here's his tweet from May 10, 2013 https://twitter.com/TimOfLegend/status/332901644809420800I'm not really sure how Bitcoin works.... but I do know that you can now use it to buy the Double Fine Humble Bundle! http://www.humblebundle.com/I wonder if anybody knows if Tim Schafer now knows more about how Bitcoin works? On the other hand donating to Tim Schafer in Bitcoin might be more probable as Anita Sarkeesian has mentioned no thing about Bitcoin(no time with all the harasment going on) while Tim Schafer has(as can be seen in the tweet). He's clueless as how it works and seems to be willing to learn more, that's positive in my view Anybody up for the educational introduction?

Yeah, that law about 2nd amendment passed in 1791. Good to have some background for us non-Americans...A law that has lived for more than 200 years of the right to carry guns and shooting weapons. I guess we Europeans are too "uncivilised" to have the right to carry guns as part of our basic freedoms. Though TECSHARE I didn't know that the 2nd amendment say that you can threaten anybody you like. That's what happened to Anita. You claim somehow that the 2nd amendment gives somebody the right to threaten anybody they like anyhow they see fit, or you try to bring some message that all it had to do with was the 2nd amendment and nothing to do with threats. Maybe she didn't want to die for nothing. I think she should come to Europe more. She has come to Sweden multiple times. Also DICE is in Sweden, so yeah it has happened already. More Anita in Sweden please! Don't lose your energy in USA, there people shoot first and ask questions later.

Basically it's like a reality show. Everything she says is (stupid), and fake/scripted in order for it to be outrageous enough to get views on Youtube and money(That's how youtube cover stars make money, except they actually do something worth while and have talent unlike Anita Sarkwhatever). You go donate your pennies to that idiot if you want, while sensible people just laugh at her and move on. Anyway this is the most boring topic Ive ever been on. Point is Anita is fake, boring, lame, and ugly. Bye.

If you are a Christian, please don't use that name in vain. Otherwise, don't worry about what I just said. As for Anita and the man who writes most of the material for this strong and independent woman to bravely read from a teleprompter (McIntosh), I pray that they one day repent for what they have done and find a better path to go down.

I may consider talking to McIntosh about Bitcoin. I somehow feel he knows. That way he could redirect the donation to Anita Why hasn't Anita answered my question whether she wants to learn about Bitcoin? https://twitter.com/PKBitcoin/status/532570946918711300CoinMode your part of the Bitcoin community looks like a very anti-education part. Stop doing that. You can open a new 'we all hate Anita Sarkeesian' thread. This is not a thread where you can go rant blindly.

Obviously the point for you was that feminism is about women hating on men, not women posting irrefutable arguments on the internet about something incredibly important like sexism in video games. Haha, yeah! This wiki is even better than Wikipedia http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Feminist_Frequency
