They think she’s single-handedly responsible for making game devs put women in video games, as if they hadn’t been doing that on their own since fukken Metroid.
If CHUDs were right (and they’re never right), then they really only have themselves to blame because they dogpiled on someone thinking it will be an easy culture war win after getting overconfident with dunks on tumblr. All they did was give Sarkeesian a bunch of free press and some game developing studios actually listened. Because get this, artists tend to be the “weirdos” CHUDs hate on so much.
CHUDs hate free speech, and REALLY hate artistic freedom.

These people don’t even like video games, they play the usual FPS/Sports garbage that gets release every year. And think that gives them right to go into other games fanbase and have a meltdown because the new game have something “woke”.
The craziest thing is her critique wasn’t even “get rid of sexy bimbo dressed female characters” but “ever noticed how it’s only the female character dressed in sexualized way”.
She never demanded what they claim she did. She just highlighted some objective truths about where game design had ended up. Most of them didn’t even notice that the solution a lot of game developers went with was add a himbo’d out male character for every bimbo’d out female character because that lets you maximize the audience you can appeal to.
It reminds me of how around the same time a lot of game industry executives couldn’t understand why their female employees were commenting about the booth girls or female pole dancers at company events. Most of the time they were completely unnecessary for whatever the event theme was. Also doesn’t take a genius to realize that if the theme of an event calls for some dancers, maybe hire both male and female dancers so everyone gets some eye candy?

also no work event calls for strippers I don’t want my boss in any way interacting with my sexuality and no one should be expected to have to experience something sexual they don’t want to as a condition of their employment or to get ahead in the company
in fact and hear me out here on every occassion you were going to hire strippers hire clowns. Clowns are a style of humour designed for adults originally based around transgression of rules and mockery of established ways of doing things therefore would do great in an office setting
You know, I will say, one of the only “[obviously evil bad guy] was right” for a popular media I’ve never actually seen is “Ozai was right”. Its weird because you’d think fash would be kind of into him. But he’s not the most charismatic villain and has minimal screen time so maybe thats why. Also maybe it exists and I just haven’t seen it.
If there’s one thing that confuses me, is that CHUDs haven’t identified with Ozai, Frieza, or Palpatine IIRC. They would probably be more interested in identifying with Azula, but she’s a woman so can’t identify with that. Kylo Ren I noticed they identified with a little bit, but not enough to catch on.
But if there’s one character I am surprised CHUDs haven’t claimed as /theirguy/ yet, is James Bond. He’s part of the British CIA with a license to kill and he’s a chaotic neutral defender of the west that fucks like a rabbit. He’s identical to how CHUDs see themselves.
The only fictional character I see chuds claim is like an amalgam of Ryan Gosling’s characters from Drive and Blade Runner. Which really makes no sense, because one of those is a criminal getaway driver who ends up helping a Latino gangster’s wife and kid. And the other is a bounty hunting android who, through various circumstances, betrays his corporation and police force because he begins to identify with the very underclass of androids he previously hunted down. Chuds are pure aesthetics. They just want to be some hot lonely guy with a cool jacket.
Ozai and Freiza yeah, though Freiza might be a bit too queer-coded for them? But for Palps they do identify with the Empire in a general sense so thats a thing. Azula yeah I think its because she’s a girl, and also like, I dont know a single queer leftist ATLA fan who doesn’t kind of love Azula. Kylo is funny because he’s meant to be a bit of a parody of CHUD manchildren, so them owning that is funny. And as for Bond, I mean, they are mad at he mere possibility of Daniel Craig being replaced by a black guy or a woman so they do have some attachment to him.
It’s because a lot of “Villain was right” candidates either
Are a villain protagonist like Kratos, Rick Sanchez, or Bojack Horsemann
Characters who are shown to be “cool”, especially if they have a lot of “Do not do this cool thing!” Energy behind their writing
Rorshach - he is his own category because in Watchmen no one else is proactive in doing… anything… and everyone else is shown to be either worse than him or ineffective… so it’s Alan Moore’s own writing fail that made people like him
Ozai doesn’t really apply anywhere here.
Btw, a lot of later MCU villains are unironically “The villain was right!” Characters… mostly because Hollywood demands heroes only represent the Status Quo, and villains only represent change.
But when the modern status quo is this fucked, it keeps running into “The villain is completely right for 99% of the movie… until near the end when he eats a puppy to prove he was bad all along”
Kilmonger from Black Panther is one of the more blatant “Did nothing wrong, but Hollywood loves status quo” non-villains

We hear you, we see you, and we have decided to compromise by hiring clown strippers.
No…not again…I’m not…strong enough.
Hol up let me get ready
Yeah why try to appeal to everyone when you could just appeal to noone.
Actually it seems to me like games don’t have ANY sexual content anymore.
this is one hundred percent of why they want AI art to be a thing
The year is 2030, I’m in my emperor DeSantis re-education camp and one of the shows I am mandated to watch is called “Avatar but based”.
It’s just the fire nation play all over again but this time Ozai has bigger muscles and Aang will always have a scraggly pube-like beard.

they pretty much created her by being big mad about her before she made any of the videos too.
