I seriously love Anita Sarkeesian so much. She's near the top of my "Celebrities I Want to Meet" list along with Taylor Swift, James Rolfe, and Luke.

It's like she's morphed into the moral guardians of the late '90s/early '00s that freaked out after Columbine.

Violence isn't okay, and that the game is Doom isn't an excuse? :lol:

But hey, some good stuff coming out of E3 this year.
Shes one of those idiots you cant argue with, shall just take you down to her level.

If i was a developer, i would completely ignore her and carry on.
That's actually been happening lately. Doom 4's lead character artist laughed off Sarkeesian's and McIntosh's bellyaching:

"There goes our core target audience!" :lol:

And one of the developers of the next Deus Ex went on Reddit recently to complain about the crap he's been getting over the subject matter of Mankind Divided:

The thing about these people is that their whole schtick is feeling morally superior to the next guy. It's the same mentality that was behind the puritans, and later, the alcohol prohibitionists. If you ignore them, mock them, laugh them off, they have nothing. Especially now that game devs and publishers are catching on to the fact that A): muckraking gaming "journalists" and activists no longer drives sales of games like they did 10 years ago (Youtube has taken over that), and B): "SJW" types don't buy very many games themselves. Look up the disaster that was Sunset for more on that. Meanwhile, Hatred, a game they vilified, managed to chart #1 on Steam for a bit.

Insert a gif of a bunch of girls screaming "ROAD TRIP!"

But first you must meet yourself before meeting me...*sound of gong*

Can we get away from the SJW bullshit term? The problem is that it's lobbed at both the nutters and the non-nutters, and therefore the term isn't kosher.

I think it's going to have to play itself out first, like casual and hardcore gamer had to.

That doesn't mean we have to be a party to it.
