The problem about this whole "Anita Sarkeesian was lying about playing video games" is that it's completely besides the point. Does that mean there's no sexism in video games any more? Does that mean all her arguments are automatically countered?
Anita could be a lying, money grabbing sensationalist. I don't care. I would still need to meet her arguments. And posting a video of her lying in a comment session of an article is just petty slandering, I'm sure that's why Gamasutra removes that stuff.
It's not slandering. If we have evidence that her claims are not true, and we are not allowed to post our evidence it is censorship. WE ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO POST EVIDENCE TO COUNTER THEIR ARGUMENT IS MY MAIN COMPLAINT. Gamasutra removes that stuff, because they are politically biased, and it is an embarrassment to the organization that Anita has been exposed. Do they want to be embarrassed and shamed with the truth? No
She would've never gotten as much money as she did on Kickstarter if it wasn't for the backlash against certain types harassing her on the internet. So it's cool to see you guys just dig a deeper hole every time a thread like this pops up.
I do not advocate harassing a person ever. However, if we expose her lying with evidence than people won't support her in the future. If I were an AAA or indie dev knowing what I know now, I would never advertise with Gamasutra or Gameindustry.biz ever again.
DEVELOPERS, GAMERS, AND PUBLISHERS UNITE LET US BAND TOGETHER AND BOYCOTT THEM.
