Bullshit. She raised 160,000. And what has she made from that? Like 2 videos. That look EXACTLY like the videos she made before. Her dumb face in front of a blank wall with occasional video game clips. Video game clips that she STOLE from Let's Plays. So she isn't even playing the games (you know the ones she was supposed to buy with all that money). And then she blatantly LIES in her videos. This isn't including shit she complains about that is cherry picked and taken out of context. She also ignores anything that does not support her idiotic claims.

Lol, I have no horse in this race, but this is the only argument that makes me eyeroll-stealing from let's play-ers? Really? Those guys make money from taping themselves playing a game. There's nothing to steal. Tard.

The thing is, she asked for the money to buy the games/gaming systems. When she turns around, and doesn't even use her own footage, but footage from other people, it doesn't make her look good, and it just makes her look like she didn't actually play the games she's complaining about.

Which she probably didn't, let's be real.

Yeah, this. I frankly find it annoying all this other shit is dredged up because there are legit reasons to not like her work and to critique it.

The problem is she's right with the main themes of her work, she's just a horrible, horrible representative of the message.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-19 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Ruined a perfectly good point by tacking that word on the end. Are you trying to be edgy or are you really that mad?

I'm still waiting to see an argument in this post that justifies the treatment she gets.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-20 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
But... She doesn't? Only trolls and assholes think she does.

But, there are people who don't like her, or her videos, and think the hate is over the top. Is that so hard to believe?

(Anonymous) 2014-09-19 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, if I raised 160,000, I wouldn't spend it on games either!

She obviously had no clue people would donate THAT much. No one could have expected it. All that money put her in an awkward position and, heck, is she supposed to make hundreds of videos now because people went crazy with donating?

If I were her I'd spend a reasonable amount on making the videos I've promised, but pocket the rest. IMO it's not too unreasonable to say a lot of people would.

[personal profile] jaybie_jarrett 2014-09-20 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Um...I wouldn't. not if I TOLD people that I was going to spend it on THIS thing.

The honest thing to do is either find a way to use it for what I promised to use it for or find a way to give it back.

Geeze I kinda thought this was common knowledge. It's an honesty thing. If people donate a bunch of money to someone believing that they're going to do this one thing with it and they pocket it...that's called fraud.

Being a woman and having a cause doesn't exempt you from being honest with money.

(this kind of thing is why I avoid asking for donations of money for anything with out earning it, TBH)

(Anonymous) 2014-09-20 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's only fraud if the person with the money doesn't also do what they promised. She's making videos, but a portion of that money, at least, has to go to overhead and living expenses. It's not like she took the money and ran off to some tropical island.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-20 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-20 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it's an honesty thing but spending 160,000 on making Youtube videos? Isn't it a waste of money? Even if she started doing vids about feminism in other media, feminist issues in general, etc, till she's 80 years old, she'd still be left with a huge sum of money.

At this point it would be easier to simply donate it to some good cause or spend it in a way that promotes feminism. Cause Youtube gamer videos ain't it.

[personal profile] jaybie_jarrett 2014-09-20 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Eh. It still bothers me that she KEEPS ASKING even when she has enough. That's what gets me. She's STILL asking.

and not improving her videos or delivering ALL of the ones she promised to boot. It's one thing to make all the videos she promised and then ask for more but from what I saw she still hasn't done like most of what she promised NOR has she improved the quality.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-20 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I get what you're saying, I do. But it also makes me wonder how she could improve her videos beyond, what, having different fancy backgrounds every minute and using some expensive vidding program or something. Basically cosmetic changes/a visual make-over. It doesn't make that much of a difference in the end.

The camera she's using is fine, the lighting and sound are good, etc. She doesn't need to rent an actual studio to record in. What else are people asking for here, really? Interviews with gaming industry professionals? I doubt the big companies would send a representative to get interviewed LOL. They're not exactly her biggest fan.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-20 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Then why did she need the kickstarter in the first place? I mean, as it stands, she could have easily made these videos pre-kickstarter, I mean there's loads of average joes working full time with their own youtube channel and a lot of youtube celebrities started out doing just that.

I guess. I honestly think she should just actually BUY the games she's reviewing to play (or rent them) and stuff. I wouldn't have as much of a problem if she BOUGHT the games she was playing but getting all that money and not even getting the game feels like a waste to me.

They're asking she actually fucking do what she promised. That is, buy the fucking games she's reviewing and the systems to go with them like she promised. There's no evidence she has, meaning all that money has been pocketed.

Keep defending her, you're obviously a stan. I literally have no horse in this race, I'm just tired of seeing her stealing and scamming being defended.

Well a good start would be to buy, and play, and have her own experiences for the games she's discussing.
She can't play the video games herself? She now has money enough to get some collaboration. Pay someone to play the games while she watches and forms her opinions from first hand experiences rather than rhetoric and screenshots.

Anyone else really want to see Anita's own version of a Lets play rather than her reading tvtropes over footage of some stolen footage?

no see, that's dumb. I have no problem with her making money from this.

But her videos looked exactly the same. If she got hte system, if she got the new camera, if she did any of that stuff, it didn't show. It looks like the few thousand that was her goal was never spent on that (or she's really really bad at using it)

But if she had done all that, spent her 6000 (I think that's what it was) and then spent the other thousands on herself, well, whatever. People could see her kickstarter funds bar, they kept giving anyway. But the fact she didn't even do that amount she said she would is either insulting or at best a sign those funds were not given to the right person.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-20 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
If the amount of money she received bugged people, then they could just not donate anymore. I mean that would pretty much solve any personal problem they had. If anyone else wanted to donate despite the amounts and the alleged lack of activity then that would be up to them, wouldn't it? So it seems simple, if someone objects to what she is doing, don't donate and don't watch her vids. Problem solved. Getting upset because she says things you don't agree with on the internet and has found a way to make money without as much effort as is deemed morally appropriate, seems pretty much a first world problem right there.
