@korlic: Anita is more than entitled to produce criticisms of the video game industry. Anyone is entitled to produce criticisms of the video game industry. You do not have to agree with them, but a lot of people do find her criticisms useful and informative, and thus she has every right to exist within this space, doing what she does.
So implying that certain games (and therefore gamedevelopers) are sexist and even misogynistics is the way to critic a game? Talking about how killing women in Hitman is an action that you are awared (and therefore encouraged to do). And that video games somehow change our social behaviour for the worse?
She is the female version of Jack Thompson, pseudoscience and filled with game situations that are taken out of context. Dishonesty at its worst. Granted, that doesn't justify all her harrasment and death theats, which funnily ironically has made her opinions even more widespread and populare.
Anita has recieved loads of critic about her arguments, but she doesn't adresse those, making it seem to many people that she is not here to have a discussion about women and gaming, but to forge a narrative in where only her opinion and her supporters are allowed to have a discussion.
