Dude...she's not asking us to limit how males are interpreted in video games. She's asking for females to be treated the same way. They're not. It's not even close. They're treated in a ridiculously condescending manner, and I don't just mean sexually. What in the fuck are you going on about like she wants to destroy…

She's only "toxic" to the small community of angry gamerbros who want to paint her every action as being that of the devil. Kind of like the way Barack Obama is "toxic" to Tea Party members and christian fundamentalists. If you spend all day in that echo chamber, you might convince yourself everyone in the world hates…

You are insufferable. If you don't like it, why are you here?

She's hardly been the toxic one. That would be her detractors and opposition. The ones who continuously send her death threats, rape threats, call her every insult, and obsess about how they imagine her to be some kind of "threat" to their little boys' bubble world.

You started this thread by bitching about Kotaku writing an article about someone giving her opinions. I couldn't give two fucks about what you think about tolerance and openness.

At this point she's viewed as a toxic figure by a lot of people,

Patrick Stewart is a feminist/ally. Star Trek is progressive and pro diversity and tolerance. Why you thought this picture would work in an objection to a feminist speech promoting diversity is beyond me.

Yeah, she's against porn, but this article wasn't about her talking about porn or being against porn. If this article was about her decrying all pornography then I'd say she's full of shit. But like you said, what she said could be summed up in the 3 things you mentioned, and all of those things are pretty darn…

If someone else did, she'd be harassed, threatened and hated too. She's only controversial because a certain segment of the population hates every woman who speaks out. Every feminist in the public eye is just as despised. The problem isn't Anita Sarkeesian. It's angry misogynists.

So you jerk off to games? That explains 90% of GG , I guess.

She's absolutely relevant. She's the one giving talks around the country while you whine about it.

You guys would call anyone who heads the movement too toxic, so you're not really worth listening to.

She's toxic?

You're delusional.

She's only toxic in the same way Obama is. Both are very calm and reasonable, but both are hated so much by their enemies that everything they say or do becomes controversial.

How dare he report on an event relevant to this site's topic. HOW DARE HE?

Shorter version, if you just want the list of the list of what she says are "Eight things developers can do to make games less shitty for women", paraphrased from my notes... not that a lot of this pertain to action games and probably make more sense if you're thinking about first and third-person shooters, the Arkham…

But that's completely and utterly victim blaming. That's saying that since people hate her (unjustifiably), they will therefore not listen to her, so if we want anyone to listen we should switch people. All that's doing is implicitly validating the assholes' shitty behavior. That's not acceptable.

Dude, you're on Kotaku. There are so many men here angry at women for threatening their power, of course they're gonna clump together and start screaming.

The fact that this has any stars at all is so deeply and profoundly concerning to me.

She's been warped and distorted into a toxic individual by others. She's just fine.
