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.

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.

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.

Supposedly it was so that she could (a) improve quality and (b) actually buy the games/gaming systems.

But, if she has actually bought the games/gaming systems, there's no evidence of it in her games, especially when she uses other people's footage.

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.

she'd didn't buy the games. She scammed deluded tumblr users and is still milking them, because she knows if she says "women! gamers! bad men hate us!' they'll throw money at her.

/I say this as a woman and a feminist, she's just a con artist.

Yeah I honestly believe that as well.

I say this as a woman and a feminist.

Bullshit. You're just trying to deflect criticism.

A feminist would never, ever say something like

she knows if she says "women! gamers! bad men hate us!' they'll throw money at her.

Anyone who labels themselves as a feminist is a feminist, though.

This really reeks of No True Scotsman.

And why would a feminist not say that? Is that not basically what she is doing?

Being a Feminist doesn't mean you blindly believe everything that has 'women!' tacked onto it. She's using women's issues as a way to scam other women into giving her a free ride.

She did, and she posted a picture of them. :P

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.

There's no evidence she hasn't bought them/played them either. You can't prove that she's actually lying and so there's no fraud conviction in her future, so all this complaining is moot. Does she make crappy videos? Absolutely, but that's the problem with investing in someone: no guarantee you'll get what think you deserve, only a guarantee you'll get what was promised.

Except she's using other people's let's play footage.

So? Is she claiming it's hers, or is she just using it? Because there's no good reason to re-record playing a video game when the footage already exists unless there are huge differences in gameplay (not actually the case for most games.) As long as she gives proper credit, who the hell cares what she uses?

She doesn't give credit, though.

I have yet to see any proof that she's using other people's let's play footage, btw.

I mean... she's showing the exact same game as the let's players, most of the time, cut scenes. So... they expected cut scenes to be different from one copy of the game to another?

true, absence of evidence and all that, however, the arrangement was we give her money and she buys games to improve the quality of her videos. We then don't see the games or evidence thereof and as pointe out, the quality did not and could not be improved. this leaves room for two conclusion:

1. She bought the games and game systems but did not use them for the purpose she suggested, and in the place where evidence of these games might reasonably be expected to be found, there is uncredited free material provided by someone else who did buy the game in spite of no overfunded kick-starter.
If this case is true, what precisely did we give her money for? I'd like to have legions supporters funding my gaming collection without having to give them even a hint of evidence of the game.

2. She didn't buy the games. She instead headed down to TJ for the weekend. consumed various types of narcotic and hooker, returned home and churned out the same stuff she was doing before she performed Anita Sarkeesians great TJ adventure. I'd like to have legions supporters funding my debauchery without having to give them even a hint of evidence of my VD.

Seeing as how you're so devoted to proving that she's a scammer and telling others about your proof, I'd say that you do, in fact, have a horse in this race.

Less of a horse than her stans who seem to think she's God's gift to feminism and not, you know, someone who scammed Tumblr feminists out of a bunch of money.

A lot of the way she talks about games that I know tells me she's never actually played them, and instead just watched a bunch of footage to get a basic gist.

Nobody like that is in this thread though.

People are just saying "whelp, don't exactly see a reason to crucify her".

"you're obviously a stan"

I'm not even a gamer (much less a fan of hers), that's why I said I wouldn't spend 160,000 on GAMES.

I just think it's hilarious people expect her to spend all that money on stuff she promised. She'll spend some of it but not all, come on. She'll never ever be able to spend all of it on stuff like games and consoles, that's been my main point. Not stanning. Sheesh.

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?

I like Anita, and I think this would be awesome. And way more entertaining than her current videos.
