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.
The truth is complicated
It’s not, if your answer is anything other than an unqualified ”no” then
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
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.
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?”
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
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.
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.
complicated
we got Lil Jon Ronson Jr over here making youtube videos
Have you considered that she made men angry and therefore deserves no human rights?
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

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.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to watch this 90 minute video from checks notes “Gamer From Mars”.
The Martian Gamer was taken.
Most people are libs and have bad takes, but she was relentlessly attacked only because she identified as a feminist…
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
Why would you remind me of that
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.
