Self-reflection and growth is hardly the same thing as censorship. Could her criticisms guilt a developer into censoring something that shouldn’t be censored? Sure it could. But in the interview you posted, in her own words she said that game developers are re-examining how they portray females in video games and

Her most virulent detractors, the edgy teenagers that sent her rape and death threats and attempted to ruin her life with whatever petty power they could leverage over her from behind their keyboards, are the ones that ensured she became as popular as she did. Anyone who disapproves of her work shouldn’t be blaming

Considering it was Neil Druckmann himself who awarded her with the Video Game Ambassador of the year award while crediting for inspiring the work in the writing for The Last of Us, I never want to hear any doubts about her gaming prowess ever again.
Do you have an award given to you by the developers of the industry

I will honestly say I would never have been as knowledgeable now about these issues if it wasn’t for Sarkeesian’s work.
Let’s face it, who the hell actually would actually put in the effort and sacrifice to do this series besides her?
And in all honesty, all she’s ever doing is highlighting issues, never telling you to

There ya go, that covers about 80% of the comments on her videos.

Totally agree. I think voices of all perspectives need to be heard. I personally think that with mediums such as video games, film/tv, and music, you will never get all people to fully support a certain project. Even if it tries to do what critics suggest to do to make it better represent all types of people.

If that’s how you interpreted the video, you’re not a very good critical thinker.

My problem with her is *insert one thing she said over the last 5 years, that I know very well, and she didn’t perfectly explain*, so that’s why I can’t listen to any of her good points. 

I posted this thought before, but I’ll post it again: Games being widely accepted as art (which they always have been) means that games can now be critiqued in the way all forms of are have always been. Artistic expression has been examined and critiqued from the feminist, sociological, economical, philosophical,

I don’t think she’s any type of official, so I wouldn’t call it censorship. Me telling some guy to shut up or else is one thing, a government official or officer of the law telling someone to shut up or else is another.

As stated above, they’re just using them as speakers for a pair of chatbot programs, rather than letting Google’s assistant talk to itself.

There’s actually a fairly realistic reason for why the UNSA is in conflict with the SDF. To dismiss it as “nonsense” is extremely unfair to the writers, who did an excellent job establishing a background for the rivalry between Earth and Mars’ governing forces before it balloons out into the war seen in the game

Now hear this: every potential source of power will bring unexpected, negative consequences when we use it on any sort of scale.

There are plenty of cards with a good mana:power ratio which include a nasty deathrattle which will hit the user hard. Silencing them makes them far less risky.

Use it on a minion who has good attack but text that says can’t attack, no?

There are a few cards that can’t attack so silencing them would be a pretty solid bonus.

i liked the card :/
