Though perhaps it's not lying; it might just be that she doesn't know, because she doesn't play video games.

You can't say she doesn't play videogames because that is just sexist!

(do I really need the sarcasm tags here)

That is literally what she said in her tweet. The mind reels. She could not be any dumber if she tried.

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.

It's called gynocentrism. Our society has been engineered into it for centuries and it is very hard to overcome.

Spot on. The "women are wonderful" effect, combined with a desire to avoid being called sexist/mysoginistic/whatever the SJW buzzword of the week is, can make people support completely irrational stuff.

"Women are wonderful" - Hurts women.

"Men are capable" - The patriarchy backfires.

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.

And don't dare mention that whole stealing art for her site fracas she went through about a year ago. What makes it even better is that the person that she ganked the image from is a woman herself.

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.

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.

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