Oh, nobody is overreacting?

She's on some team on twitter.

"It's the end of free speech!"

Or even in this thread:

"What she says is dangerous"

Dangerous to whom? Why?

You should take a look at who you're taking seriously before you take them seriously.

Do outsiders know this? Does she when she quotes them? No one calls the trolls out. In fact, not everyone saying it is a troll. Some believe it and try to get others to agree with them.

When it comes to safety, everyone plays a role
Twitter empowers every voice to shape the world. But you can’t do that unless you feel safe and confident enough to express yourself freely and connect with the world around you. To help give your voice more power, Twitter does not tolerate behavior intended to harass, intimidate, or use fear to silence another user’s voice.

Working together, we will ensure Twitter is a platform where anyone, anywhere can express themselves safely and confidently.

If you can't see how this could be problematic then you're part of the problem.

The unlikely event of Anita visiting some backwater forum is irrelevant. We're talking about the people you're trying to use here to support your generalization that people are overreacting in order dismiss the legitimate arguments being made as to why someone may not like her.

Most of these people have engaged in on topic civil conversation.

Still, no admission that part of what she says is correct.

And still, those that my generalization doesn't apply to react.

antifeminism is what's cool to do on the internet nowadays--it's one big circlejerk

and you're part of it

We're on the right side of history

It is laughable, how a literal who like Anita can make any thread go up in flames. Along with her Robin-like sidekick MI'LADY Zoey Quinn, have managed to become famous just for being infamous. The truth is, she doesn't give a flying shit about video games, the industry she is a part of. She gives zero reviews that doesn't have any fucking connection to a feminist ideology to it. If a game is built around being fun, interactive, and an enjoyable experience, she downright ignores it or criticizes it because it's not "progressive" enough.

The fact that she got to speak at the UN over "bullying" on the internet is probably the most pathetic thing to ever come out of that building. Women in other countries facing real persecution against them because of their sex? Must take a back seat over someone saying shit online. I'm pretty sure if you emailed her this comment, it would show up at her next conference as "problematic".

Is there sexist tropes in video games? Of course, there's sexism everywhere. The problem is automatically thinking that just because a story is sexist it somehow means that it's bad. Gone With The Wind was sexist as shit, but it's not going anywhere as one of the most influential stories of all time, because its sexism is the whole point. Damsel in distress in video games? You could come up with plenty of video games that has a female lead hero (she never brought up any), they're probably more fun to play to boot based on my experience with them. Eye candy in video games? As if males aren't misrepresented either, except we're secure enough in our own bodies to just self insert.

Anita is just like a troll, she goes away as soon as you stop giver her attention. She's only ever gotten this far because people go nuclear over nothing, that and that legitimate arguments against her are co-opted by people who don't care about just criticizing her. Luckily her apprentice Zoey is quickly fading away into obscurity, and hopefully stays that way.

She gives zero reviews that doesn't have any fucking connection to a feminist ideology to it.

So what? Why is a feminist giving a feminist's perspective on a video game a bad thing?

The problem is automatically thinking that just because a story is sexist it somehow means that it's bad.

Except she has never, ever said this. Ever. In fact, she repeatedly says the opposite in nearly all of her fucking videos.

"[...]remember that it is both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of it’s more problematic or pernicious aspects."

You could come up with plenty of video games that has a female lead hero (she never brought up any),

Yes she has.

This is all irrelevant because I have changed the definition of feminism to fit what I like.
