Oh, internet. We're not going to fall for this again, are we?

Even if that's a very valid problem (lack of minority voices) it isn't all hers to fix or sufficient enough of a reason to deny hers.

dang so sorry it hurts

This was one of the most intelligently written reviews/critiques of anything I've ever encountered on this site, and I hope we can look forward to more.

Yeah, there are legitimate criticisms of Lena. But the fact that people seem to think that she needs to address all problems facing all women is ludicrous. Yes, she's privileged. No shit. But instead of maybe constantly putting her down for that, we can instead have the conversation of why the stories of less…

Because that's a unique, original comment on her work.

Smile through the hate, Lena! WE LOVE YOU!

But she does not represent the kind of girl I am or want to be, so how dare she have a voice? /sarcasm

Yeah, watching a gross movie is EXACTLY like triggering somebody's trauma! They're exactly the same situation, even when it's clear that the people you're obliquely comparing yourself to have a different relationship dynamic that you would!

This is empirically untrue. The proof — and lots of it — is easily found at The Hawkeye Initiative, which takes art of female characters in comics, redraws them as men, and reveals exactly how men are virtually never drawn in the same position (and, as a bonus, often highlights how improbable the positions are in…

You seriously don't see how Spider-Woman is basically sticking her ass up in the air in a position pretty much achieved only by the bendiest humans, whereas Spider-Man's ass is much lower, at an angle achievable by the normal human body? Her ass is meant to be provacative in a way that his is not, and I'm not sure…

I feel like Tina is one of the likable humans on this earth.

The problem is, by saying you only feel sympathy for their children and not for these women stuck doing something they regretted, you're ensuring that women will continue to feel ashamed for having these feelings and they won't speak about this frankly to people close to them or anyone else, and will keep these…

Except she doesn't. She promotes a differing view from established, sexist norms in videogames and talks about them in an educated manner, never once being condescending to the viewer. The only people whining about "conflicting views" are the people who keep harassing her. You know, because you can have an "actual…

Day after day, gamers prove her point. These people are no more tolerant than the ISIS when it comes to different ideas. It's fricken embarrassing.

(Meanwhile, at the evil fortress of Game-Hating Feminism)

Totilo: I did just as you commanded, my mistress! I posted the story about the bomb threat on the same day a conservative feminist critic said something else about video games!

Anita: Excellent! With Kotaku under my evil feministy grasp of evil! I can continue…

Do we have to keep it civil? This is one of the snarkiest, flippant dismissals of a substantial issue I've been subjected to. "...gender activists and, I dunno *chuckle* hipsters with degrees in cultural studies" as a video of Sarkeesian plays on screen. Not exactly the subtlest ad hominem attack there. Tl;dw…

"Many of them want more than more women on both sides of the video screen—they want the male video game culture to die."

Have you been on a dating site though? Because you can see for yourself that many men are not interested in women their own age or older.
