I like how Anita and her filthy ilk dictates what I, a grown man, can and can't watch.

Yea, her social commentary is slowly revealing her true agenda. From what I understand, her original message was about how the video game industry harms women by perpetuating tropes and stereotypes, but her latest tweet about Bayonetta 2 has nothing to do with women.

Everything about Bayonetta's design, mechanics and characterization is created specifically for the sexual pleasure of straight male gamers.

Setting aside the fact that Bayonetta was designed by a woman, why is this a bad thing? Why are things that appeal to men bad?

I'm tempted to sit down and watch her videos just for the sake of rounding out my own arguments against her, but part of what holds me back is how irrelevant she is to most people's lives. Her commentary never penetrates mainstream dialog, barring that recent NYT article, and I've only ever met two tumblr feminists in real life. My suspicion is that this part of tumblr/twitter is about as much of an echo chamber as 4chan, complete with the radical and vocal minority that ends up capturing most people's attention. No, death threats and harassment are not ok, but neither are things like Schrodinger's rapist, the idea that all men should be considered rapists in public -- an idea that sounds much more absurd and bigoted if you replace "rapists" with "thieves" and "men" with "black people" (well, 10% of all black people are thieves, after all!)

I think people will stop paying attention to her as her dialog continues to approach misandry. The only thing that will give her more power is our continued attention and her unlikely martyrdom, if anyone ever follows through with the death threats. I hope they don't, not just because it's wrong and she doesn't deserve that fate, but because the backlash against the video game industry and "gamers" would be worse than it was in the 90s with Mortal Kombat.

Not to mention she's the worst mouthpiece for genuine feminism, assuming the story below is correct. I keep trying to find a reputable source on this because it's proof that she either a) has a very low opinion of women, or b) is an idiot.

This is just her latest and most successful attempt at pyramid schemes and social manipulation which are nothing new for this cunt.
