This is predictable

Yawn, like this will help. If the games industry wants to improve it can start by giving equal rights to men in games

Kind of old, but it still reeks of desperation. #Gamergate isn't even about "sexism" and "my soggy knees". The SJWs and shit tier gaming websites like Kotaku are trying to turn it into that in order to distract people from the fact that more and more evidence every day is being gathered that exposes all of their nepotism, corruption, breach of ethics, and possible money laundering.

What's hilarious about all of this is that my respect for IGN shot way up as a result of this. It may be staffed by a bunch of retards but their hands are fucking clean.

I watched about 2/3 of the video.
Sorry guys, but she does have a point. She's definitely correct in her claims, though I'm not so sure "casual violence towards women in video games" needs to be done away with completely. Just...toned down maybe. Remove the sexual implications towards women who aren't prostitutes, and maybe make it so that prostitutes aren't so common in what seems like every goddamn sandbox game.

There's nothing corrupt in asking for that.

You are severely misinformed if you think this is the issue. This is a distraction attempt by them. They want to turn this whole thing from a corruption and nepotism revealing scandal into a "hur dur gamers are misogynistic and rascist" campaign and trying to play the victim card while simultaneously engaging in a "describe gamers in 4 words" campaign where they describe gamers (you) as "shit spewing neck beard" and "toilet in human form".

There's also mounds of evidence engaging in blatant hypocrisy, but I'm not even going to engage in that discussion right now since I'm on a phone.

All I was saying is the video has a point.
I understand both sides very easily so I'm not nearly as misinformed as you might think. No need to get so defensive about it.

That's not even defensive brah. Do you consider it defensive when a teacher informs you about a relevant subject?

In typical Anita fashion though she completely removes all context from what she's talking about in order to contort said subjects into something that barely relates to what it originally was.

As I said, this is a distraction attempt by her, her SJW buddies, shit tier gaming sites, and silversmith media. They want us to focus on this instead of their corruption and nepotism.

Spoiler

They're doing a great job of bullying devs into signing their shit though by using their pull to paint anyone who doesn't as "hating women".

...again, you do realize I'm just commenting on the video, right?
What "context" would make her points irrelevant?

Let me bury you in videos depicting just how she's taking crap out of context in order to push her agenda when I get home.

Spoiler

I'm not denying that there are problems with the industry, I'd just rather support someone who seeks to make the industry better as an end goal instead of destroying it for their own monetary gain.

Something about mountains and mole-hills.

Virtual Men die by the thousands in games. Completely fine. A few dozen virtual Women die and everybody loses their minds. Get a fucking grip.

I don't normally lean towards that sort of stance but it's a very valid point.

Literally nobody gives a shit that billions and billions of default male characters are slaughtered in matchmaking every year, and nobody should. When people get pissy over female characters dying, it's just down right funny.

I can understand people objecting to it if it's a torture/pronz death, because that shit is disgusting, but when it's because you can kill a hooker with a baseball bat... 'lolfuckoff' is what comes to mind.
