Is it really so controversial that it requires all dissent to be silenced? All of her videos were about criticizing and creating discussion. That being the case, why is everyone so opposed to the same discussion without heavy handed censorship silencing all opposition? Doesn't it seem hypocritical to anyone?

You mean besides all of the talking we already did? (and by "talking" I mean the flaming that every "controversy" devolves into)

The fact that she ran off with over $100k?

It boggles my mind that people thought she needed people to send her both thousands of dollars as well as games (and critisism of games) to create some flamebait videos.

And then no-one even cared when she never made the videos...

Because if you disagree with Anita Sarkeesian and have legit criticism, you get ignored.

If you throw shit at her, they throw the spotlight on you, use you as an excuse to call every male a sexist and lift every clue of responsibility from women.

On the other hand, if you point out that she's half a year late with her videos and that she scammed everyone, you get banned too.

Oh yeah, we definitely talked about her being a fraud. I'm not sure there's much more to say.

You're actually creating multiple account just to have arguments about this?

Three new accounts in one thread saying the same thing, and you expect anybody to believe it's three different people?

@the_OFFICIAL_jAPanese_teaBAG: The nature of her fans demands that i use an alt, lest i be labeled a sexist misogynist cis gendered male, get banned, then used in her videos.

There's more to say as long as she doesn't deliver.

This is tax evasion, friend.

@ShaggE: You're right, dude. On the other side of the coin, since there are several other people saying "let's not talk about it, enough has been said", you are obviously all alts of someone who is preaching the Sarkeesian agenda. Just because your accounts have been open longer doesn't mean that they can't be alts.

I don't know anything about this woman. I don't care. I just think you are the OP and have created multiple accounts and a stupid thread. It makes me laugh.

If that's the case, why are you so worried about risking your main? If you think this site is so against free speech, one would think you'd not be concerned about your account.

EDIT: Oh for fuck's sake. I see what this is. You got banned and can't take your lumps. That's really sad, man.

Not really, The only way I could see you being banned for discussing the subject is if you were attacking someone instead of talking reasonably. Maybe you threw a bitch-fit at somebody and that's why you were banned?

It has nothing to do with the arguments being made (which I happen to agree with you on), it's about the fact that you are creating multiple alts for the purpose of stirring up controversy in the forums.

So that's somehow an excuse for a site to become a self moderating shithole with politically correct zombies doing nothing but agreeing with each other.

We're not agreeing with you. PROGRESS!

I don't think you know the definition of the word, or you'd see the inherent irony of accusing somebody of being so while stirring up an old controversy because you can't take your ban.

Edit: Ah, /v/. That explains everything.

This isn't NeoGAF so stop making multiple alts.

She stole peoples money but since she did in the name of feminism it's ok.
