They have had female characters in lead roles WAY before she was even in the picture. This whole ideal she is somehow a pioneer is silly. She was in it to profit from being outraged. I don't condone actions guys take while playing with girls and the way teen-aged boys treat girls but slamming a button just to slam it isn't good for anyone. Do we actually have proof she plays games? i've never heard of her before this to be honest. Does she do twitch streams to provide the proof? I mean look at the whole zombie unicorn stuff, she's a gamer but she exploits herself.....i mean come-on the hypocrisy is thick around these people.eh, you may not agree with Sarkeesian but she did make game companies reevaluate they way they produce games. women are game consumers also and it became important to portray women as actual people vs just being skins or eye candy or damsels in distress and in general useless.
a lot of attacks against Sarkeesian are just invalid, based on attacking her personally vs attacking her arguments. Oh, you are not a real gamer. Like what the hell does that mean? How many 1000s of hours does it take for someone to become "qualified" to make youtube videos?
anyway all the people complaining about her are the ones promoting her. If nobody was whining then I would never have known or cared that she had anything to say about the issue.
