Well, obviously you can doubt everything. Maybe it was all photoshopped.
Or maybe she played the games and used some of other people's footage because work like this is grueling and exhausting (having done some media studies) so, knowing which parts she was going to use based on the notes she took on her first playthrough, she then went and looked up the relevant footage. Yeah, it's a bit iffy, but the problem is that on a first playthrough you don't KNOW which parts are going to end up significant, you need to take notes and mark things and stuff, you can't record the entire game. tbh it's an insane venture, this whole thing.
I'm not even that invested, I'm just not automatically assuming she's Evil.

i'm not automatically assuming she's evil. i know she's a scam artist, art thief, content thief, and an asshole.

Except she shows a lack of knowledge of the games she showcases. Severe lack of knowledge. If she'd played them, she wouldn't get the shit she does wrong.

And I mean, shit-you-can-find-on-Wikipedia kind of getting it wrong.

Quit defending someone who obviously has lied. If she played the games, she wouldn't get things factually wrong.

tbh, it's not that I'm a huge fan of hers. I've seen some of these criticisms, and I agree that were we talking, say, academia, this stuff wouldn't really hold up. There's a lack of contextualization, for example, lack of nuance, etc.

If you have actual examples I would be interested in hearing, but enough with the slogans. I did read the thread, and I saw some examples that people (like ariakas) gave for how she presents thing in a misleading fashion, and the criticism is valid. My argument is that jumping from flawed technique to "she is a liar, believe nothing" sounds to me like you're just trying to shut down the conversation about women in video games.

Lol okay, so where's this list with all the facts that she got wrong that AREN'T interpretation?

Factually wrong list. No one has provided it yet, despite whining about how she gets absolutely everything wrong. Severe lack of knowledge? Let's see it. And no, I'm not going to be impressed by one or two tiny dodgy details.

For that matter, we also don't have proof that she makes those videos herself, instead of using a body double. Or that she made them at all, instead of coming to each of our individual houses and hypnotizing us into thinking we've seen them. Or that she's really human, and not just three large squirrels in a flesh suit!

Anita Sarkeesian is totally a scammer for tricking us into believing she's not multiple squirrels! Wake up, sheeple!

When you get right down to it, we don't actually have proof that she exists at all. Have you ever seen this so-called 'Anita Sarkeesian' in person? (if you say you have, you're probably just a lying stan)
