Anita Sarkeesian is lying? You don't say...

People have made a living off how full of shit she is. She is not a gamer, I can almost guarantee that she hasn't played any off the tomb raider games. She could probably count the number of games she's played on one hand. She is pushing a narrative and getting paid for it that's all.

Anita is not a gamer and is not involved in the gaming industry in any way other than her rantings and trolling.
I don't respect her views at all.
I respect views of those who are involved in the games industry and has positively, through determination and action, progressed the games industry by being actively involved in it, such as Rhianna Pratchett.

Okay. Here's the thing. I have good, dear friends, whom I love deeply...that follow and support Anita Sarkeesian.
I don't understand! In all other things they are rational people. But they are convinced, convinced that any attack on Sarkeesian just demonstrates her point that sexism is rampant in games.
They play games! They must know that she's either lying or (being very charitable) misinformed. They make fun of Jack Thompson and don't see the parallels.
I just don't understand.

To people who aren't familiar with who she is and just see one of her videos, she is surprisingly persuasive. Especially with her newer videos that are really flashy and have an actual production value (cough cough kickstarter), the look and feel of her videos can easily make you think she knows what she's talking about even though she has no clue. Then, once you agree with her and entertain her idea that games are sexist pits of misogyny, confirmation bias makes every criticism reinforce her ideas.
It's scary actually.

Do not worry friend, in time, they will A) learn to judge character more efficiently/better or B) you will come to terms with the fact you disagree with them on this(if you have not already) and they will vice versa; come to terms with the fact they disagree with you on this(if they have not already). Our most powerful weapon is letting people have opinions.

I have a coworker who really likes Sarkeesian. If I were to show him this image I guarantee he'd just say that it's a single example, and that anyone can make a mistake from time to time. It would likely do absolutely nothing to sway his opinion, and he wouldn't mentally file it under "contrary evidence that I should keep in mind." I don't think there's any volume of evidence I could collect that he'd accept as sufficient to change his opinion about her. I don't understand it.

Are the jackets DLC in any of those games? Isn't the whole DLC thing pretty recent?
