(Anonymous) 2014-11-14 12:19 am (UTC)(link)And I say this as a pretty damn adamant feminist who would normally be all over her stuff, but the moment you make such glaring mistakes and show that you didn't actually play the games you said you would, like hell am I going to take that sitting down.
She's a fucking scam artist in it for the money.

She never thought she was gonna make the kinda bank she did on this thing. But she did. And it proved that she didn't really have her shit together at all. Nobody would expect great quality if she only got 6000 dollars. But she got a lot more then that. I think she was rather surprised at that herself.
I think a lot of people liked her idea and the reality fell short, but I dont' think she meant to scam anybody. She's just... not the best at what she does (and none of what she does deserves the shit she's gotten for it, most of it seeming to be about shit that has nothing to do with her reviewing abilities)

I mean, it's pretty fucking funny (in a laugh-to-death way) that the only reason she got that much money in the first place, and the reason she got a lot of the visibility she did, was because of the outraged reaction from the gamer defense squad. If the outrage storm about her KS had not happened, she would probably have got funded around the level she actually expected, and this would all seem so much more sane. Really, in the broadest sense, if it means anything, what it means is that the ecosystem of gaming and talking about gaming is completely broken and fucked up. Not just in the sense that it's full of toxic dialogue and people - in the much more general sense that talking about games in a reasonable, coherent way is just not possible.
