She once said Israel is a settler colony and made chuds mad so she’s based unlike the other dumbass that got harassed that shills for Israel now
I guess that’s why we don’t hear about her nowadays ,criticizing Israel is a No no In the west
Sarkeesian is of Iraqi-Armenian descent, there was definitely an aspect of racism to the harassment.
Damn first Time I’ve heard that
I always assumed she was Armenian lol
Her parents were Iraqi Armenian immigrants to Canada.
Name’s Brianna Wu, she considers pedo nazis her friends and I am not even talking about Israelis
Yeah these people are always like this
Yeah lol. Also she brags about being tough and pragmatic for servicing her five luxury cars. Source: I know somebody who scrolls too much X, the everything app.
Bourgeoise trash
So Sarkeeisian is based and Wu is a chud. I wonder how Zoe Quinn ended up?
Quinn does little indie art stuff from time to time. Did a collab with Chuck Tingle. Became an “anti harassment activist” except unfortunately that’s not a real job that pays money so I assume she has a day job.
quinn turned out to be a kind of standard bernie-style demsoc from what i’ve seen which is fine
Yes
A decade ago?
Yeah, it’s been a decade, which feels long, but for me it’s actually good. I was a young, impressionable guy with leftist ideals, but definitely very much lacking awareness of anti-racism and feminism ideology (I still need to improve in that regard). I remember all of the hate towards Sarkeesian, the “Hugh Mungus” thing, and this fad on YT with hating on “crazy removed”. Thankfully I got out of the pipeline quite fast and managed to see beyond the superficial reactionary criticism. In 10 years I’ve gotten a long way towards feminism, anti-racism and Marxism, and I’m hopeful for my further way in the following 10 years!
Edit: apologies for the removed word, it was a slur used against feminists back in the day. Thanks mods for making hexbear a safer space, I’ll be more careful with such slurs even when directly quoting
Accidentally replied, just ignore this.
jfc. most of her criticism was so mild and the majority of it completely valid and when she was off it was merely in an eyerolling sort of way that was in no way deserving of even 5% of the hate she got what is wrong with these people?
what is wrong with these people?
One word: Feminist
The truth is complicated
It’s not, if your answer is anything other than an unqualified ”no” then
They’re still raving mad about her, 10 years later lmao. A chud family member of mine, she brought up that thing Anita said where she said “everything is racist and sexist” and that shows how the left is insane, or something.
Living in their heads rent free for decades. The culture war slop really does result in permanent
There’s something incredibly funny about a chud who’s so out of touch they’re still talking about Anita Sarkeesian.
The minor ragebait gets discarded almost hourly, but people labelled enemies of chuddery? They’re practically deified. I mean Soros has been their boogeyman for how long now? 20+ years?
At least Soros, as a billionaire, is a target worth contempt
Anita said where she said “everything is racist and sexist” and that shows how the left is insane, or something.
The truth about this is incredibly funny. Sarkeesian was making an ironic statement/joke during an interview/conference satirising the idea some people had about leftists/feminists, which ended up being clipped out of context by said people. They proved her point.
No amount of bad gaming takes deserves serious backlash like that, in no planet.
Even then, many of her takes were good.
wot if we didn’t start every game with the male main character’s cardboard cutout wife being brutally murdered as a lazy attempt at giving motivation
sometimes the male main character could have a teenaged daughter figure that gets constant ogling from the game’s cinematic perspectives and she can be rescued/protected with acts of violence!
Who else tipped their toes into radicalisation by how cringe this backlash and gamergate were? Like I didn’t play videogames for years out of embarrassment for even remotely associated with this.
I went to her channel when this was all going on hoping for some “Kill all men!” lesbian separatism and all I got was “Maybe women in video games should be more dimensional and less ‘Booba-ah-Wooga!’ for their personality.”
Still ended up subbing tho cuz it’s decent stuff on an otherwise reactionary platform.
Make lesbians scary again
Same
I still don’t play video games and I live in Palestine
Solidarity
I never made the connection but gamergate probably pushed me left.
Yes, gamergate really helped me to get over my anti-feminist phase. I realised how much of an embarrassing temper tantrum it was when I started to look into it and all the figures promoting it
I don’t know if it’s similar but it’s feels like how alot of tech workers realised Musk was full of shit when he tookover X and entered their domain. The grifters won-over some losers but pushed alot of us to develop a self-awareness that our culture is rotten to the core and we’re shit as a product of it.
Gamergate was definitely a tipping point. Dudes I’d thought were totally rational and on the level started showing their asses, and no amount of my trying to talk them out of it changed anything. Think the moment I gave up on trying to re-educate was somebody I’d grown up with, known for more than half of my life hard-r’d me for trying to investigate their misogynist fuckery and I’m just struck there like “how long have you been like this? how long have you been like this and just hid it from me like that?”
The very final stage of my path from demsucc and succdem toward actual leftism was during, and in large part because of
gate.
She is a land of contrasts. On the one hand she was a shitty art critic, but on the other hand she made gamers mad.
Then again I haven’t actually ever seen any of her videos, so maybe she’s not a bad art critic at all and gamers were just mad that their art was treated as artThe few things I watched from her were very basic feminist takes, nothing particularly offensive or insightful one way or the other.
I remember watching and thinking, “THIS is what people are getting so worked up about?”
Definitely wouldn’t classify her as “bad” from what I saw
I haven’t seen any of her videos since they first came out and the worst thing I could say would be that some of her points would be like “look at this overly sexualized female character!”
which, sure, might not be the best or most interesting point, but people fuckin lost it
She did a Kickstarter asking for $6000 that got over $150,000, so people ended up being extra critical.
Laughs in Store Citizen
@UlyssesT@hexbear.net you want in on this?
Star Citizen never delivered, she made more videos than she originally promised.
Sure.
Anita Sarkeesian delivered the videos she promised. She made some small technical
errors about the treats (such as claiming that killing the fetish nuns in a Hitman game gave points, but while killable, they didn’t grant any points) but because she criticized the treats, the treat hogs squealed for vengeance and many of them because MAGAts if they weren’t MAGAts already.She delivered a complete product. Complete products don’t have to be perfect, let alone have to be so perfect that they don’t enrage treat hogs, which can be an impossible task anyway. Star Citizen’s big spending core devotees were in many case those very same treat hogs but they keep putting money into the grift because they want to, direct quote from some of them “make g*ming great again.”
Star Citizen is still a pre-alpha, a paid pre-alpha that may never be anything else, but the treat hogs don’t get criticized by the treat maker so they oink and keep paying.
Except the people giving her money weren’t the ones being “extra critical,” and the ones being “extra critical” didn’t give her any money, and also the kickstarter got posted on /v/ before it even hit its goal and almost certainly would have gone unnoticed if they had ignored it.
Have you considered that she made men angry and therefore deserves no human rights?
complicated
we got Lil Jon Ronson Jr over here making youtube videos
the G#mer is in their happy place when they can send r*pe and death threats
Was sending her r*pe threats for years justified? “Its complicated”
“Its complicated”
the favourite sentence of both liberals and chuds
Funny given how incapable they are appreciating complexity when it comes to socialism
🥰
Everything that liberals might want to do is complicated, while wanting to improve society somewhat is evil and only tankies do that.

They targeted G#mers! G^MERS!!
“you’re not the first👺😡; this is just another 👾boss fight👾👽.” Im still laughing that someone typed that entire thing out seriously.
Life is like a video game trying to beat the stage while collecting coooooins
If one goomba stomps unsuspecting fungi why does money not come out
You got to jump and punch bricks for those coins. Sometimes if you hustle and jump hard and punch bricks fast enough more coins come out of the same brick! This one weird trick will give you extra lives
Followed instructions. My damn hands keep getting smashed to bits. No coins coming out yet. Tried to scream yipee to increase my chances. Will report on the results
At least that song is accurate to g*mer culture in that it was made by a piece of shit.
The song’s subtext (I think) talks about the futility of the
task, but if the guy who sang it is a piece of shit, I’m open to hearing more.Just look at his NATOpedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Radke CWs for SA and abuse.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to watch this 90 minute video from checks notes “Gamer From Mars”.
The Martian Gamer was taken.
Time for sunglasses indoors to hide any emotional vulnerability, performative swigs from a whiskey bottle, and two hours of rage for every hour of whatever’s being raged at. Oh yeah it’s
time!
Anita deserved a lil hate
says internet user who readily depicted her in the picolodick colours
Pavlovian conditioning for people with utterly broken brains, including me and you
That’s an old memory I didn’t want to recall again.
Why would you remind me of that
Most people are libs and have bad takes, but she was relentlessly attacked only because she identified as a feminist…
This loser (GamerfromMars) once said Tyler Oakley was bad because he was outspoken against bigotry towards queer people. I can see why he thinks this is so complicated based on that.
