This. She's not very good at what she wants to say. But she's not wrong about there being some serious gender issues in gaming. It's just, well... it'd be better if somebody else was the representative.

[(Anonymous)]

I ... really don't feel like she's a representative of women on this issue? People uttered these criticisms before her, and in a much more nuanced and interesting way, and they'll continue to offer them.

I am pretty invested in the topic of sexism in gaming, and Sarkessian only ever pops up due to the reaction to her bringing the general gaming public into the discussion for a few days.

I'm sure she makes a few good points occasionally, but I'd be really surprised if the videos improved significantly over the old Feminist Frequency stuff, which was never really that glorious to begin with? I mean no amount of money you throw at her is going to improve the quality of the actual content she delivered, and I think people knew that. Considering that she planned out the videos topics in advance it was pretty clear she was going into the whole thing with a fairly pre-formed opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

She's fairly 101, as someone else said. Personally, when I find myself agreeing with her, it's mostly on stuff that has been discussed ad infinitum by female gamers, and she's only providing a regurgitated synopsis. Like... a very basic primer.

When I find myself disagreeing with her, I just chalk it to different opinions, and shrug it away. Since it's obvious no one is going to agree 100% of the time with everything a subjective critic says.

But then... I didn't donate to her kickstarter, because I didn't like her original videos that much. So... I really have no reason to complain about her use of the money. And to this day, I've never seen someone who WAS a baker complain about that. Just... haters claiming she's a conartist and that's why she should die in a fire or something (Which of course, doesn't help to the actual discussion of her videos content)

I don't think she's a representative of all women in gaming, but I think there are some people who aren't really tuned into feminism in gaming or gaming in general who do see her that way. :(

[diet_poison]

I agree wholeheartedly. That's a good way of putting it.
