Tell me about Anita Sarkeesian.

Elegiac · February 07, 2015, 09:52:42 PM

On the way home from a gig with my brother and his mates last night I ran into one of my poetry buddies on the train (very drunk) and he ended up sharing a poem with me, which I'll include here for the lulz...

Spoiler

Your boyfriend thinks Matchbox Twenty are cool
Your boyfriend thinks Nickelback are cool
Your boyfriend doesn’t know who Iggy Pop is
Your boyfriend killed Kurt Cobain

Your boyfriend is excellent at sport
Your boyfriend thinks Bryce Courtenay is a good writer
Your boyfriend votes for Tony Abbot
Your boyfriend has very high testosterone levels

Your boyfriend likes to subjugate other people
Your boyfriend gets into fights when he’s pissed
Your boyfriend is a macho dominant asshole
Your boyfriend is the type of dickhead who beat me up at school

Your boyfriend is going to beat you if you marry him
If you didn’t give it up to him he would probably rape you
And is probably raping other women
Right now

Your boyfriend has a six pack
Your boyfriend has muscles on his muscles on his muscles
Your boyfriend is cheating on you with a stripper
Your boyfriend is a dominant alpha male

Your boyfriend is a dildo-brain
Your boyfriend is a dick-brain
Your boyfriend is a condom-brain
Your boyfriend is a butt-plug-brain

Your boyfriend is a racist, a sexist, and a homophobe
Your boyfriend is an embodiment of Patriarchy
But you’ll never know it because he hides it well
With his excellent social manipulation skills

Your boyfriend thinks drugs are for mugs
Your boyfriend drinks Bourbon and coke
Your boyfriend thinks that women belong in the kitchen
But he wouldn’t say that to you

Your boyfriend makes football players look like feminists
Your boyfriend can only feel aggression or lust and shuts out all other emotions
Your boyfriend beats his meat to pictures of horses fucking
Your boyfriend exudes toxic masculinity

Your boyfriend likes to fist cows
Your boyfriend sucks on sadism sauce
Your boyfriend has balls of brass and an iron plated ass
Your boyfriend has nostrils of plastic and ceramic eyebrows

Your boyfriend always has to be on top
Your boyfriend doesn’t believe in foreplay
Your boyfriend has a mundane cock
Your boyfriend lasts for two minutes

Your boyfriend is covered in soft green nylon fur
Your boyfriend has potassium kneecaps like rubber bands and an origami sphincter
Your boyfriend has helium cheek bones and a cucumber up his ass
Your boyfriend has plasticine gonads and porcelain ear lobes

Your boyfriend doesn’t act like an asshole in front of you because he wants to fuck you
And every time you fuck him you reinforce and validate his behaviour
And every time you fuck him his ego and bloated self-esteem get bigger
So that he can kick the shit out of anyone weaker than him
And oppress everyone who meets him

...anyway, there was this feminist chick sitting across from us, one thing led to another, and it ended up turning into a debate/discussion on feminism, which remained pretty civil until my friend left the train. Then one of my brothers mates brought up anita sarkeesian, which degenerated into effectively the entire carriage (women and train guards included) ganging up on this feminist chick. It was kinda depressing.

I didn't pay any attention to gamergate, and I wasn't in the mood to follow the, uh.. 'conversation' last night, so could someone give a tl;dr description of anita sarkeesian? I don't want to trawl through the masses of internet speculation that seems to have built up. I trust you guys to give me an unbiased answer.

Sarkeesian is a con artist that got over $100k to do some feminist videos.

TheOneTrueDesticle · February 07, 2015, 09:56:37 PM

She's generally full of shit and a con artist.

Apparently she was given some money, and she did nothing with it, or something? What about that?

Ah, that's the one:

She is a person on the internet. She isn't noteworthy in any way.

This is boring me shitless. What have I gotten myself into here. I knew there was a reason I didn't pay attention in the first place.

Comet · February 07, 2015, 10:38:49 PM

idiot and a con artist.

I wish death upon her.

That seems a bit extreme.

I don't normally wish death upon anyone, but some people are the exception. She is.

Ender · February 07, 2015, 10:51:16 PM

Wasn't there a user on here named that?

big sponge · February 07, 2015, 10:54:32 PM

She's a great scam artist that cons people out if their money in the name of feminism.

Go ahead and explain why then.

Do I really have to? Isn't it obvious enough?

Wishing death on someone for having a different view on things?
I'd like to hear you explanation on why she should be killed.

If I explain it all out here I'll get banned. I didn't even wish death upon her at all on Bungie and I got the banhammar. Mod bias.

God · February 09, 2015, 05:56:43 PM

She's a feminist whose been making about 5 videos a year since 2010 on sexism in media. Most of her criticism stems from the fact that she takes tens of thousands of dollars from her followers to sit in front of a camera for for a few minutes every couple months and that a lot of her videos and claims are poorly researched.

I've only become familiar with her since she started appearing in the media claiming that the harassment she's been receiving from anonymous individuals is some kind of organized assault by the Gamergate movement.
