When in reality, Sarkeesian only spoke up in defense of the hashtag creator's right to voice her opinion, which Colbert also stated
If you don't think actual gamers consider their media of choice art you're only deluding yourself. I guarantee you it wasn't some disinterested third party arguing with Roger Ebert on whether games were art.
Views like what? You disagree that many boys are taught, both at home and in society, that violence is an acceptable (romantic even) way to deal with one's problems?
If there's nothing she can do, why do you give enough of a shit to write a long, rambling post about it? Are you scared us girl gamers are gonna mess with your boy toys?
