at least he mentioned it.

Which is odd since he always shows a picture of the source he's citing as proof in his vids, while these "journalists" don't half the time and when they do they reference tumblr blogs and their own article's they've written before.

He says a lot of unrelated stuff that's just speculation, and a lot of people hate him and outright refuse to hear the things be backs up with facts because of that.

I don't like him because he's a jackass. There's more respectful people making the same points as him, so no need to sit through his videos.

its come to light that apparently the edited out a big chunk of the interview. Source is leddit but apparently he asked sarkeesian if videogames caused violence and she said no, so he asked how they could cause misogyny

ho stuff really?

Did she respond to that? Or she couldn't so that's why they cut it?

[ZombiLoin]

Jesus loving Christ do your realize that A) Society will never be free of "misogyny" and B) Women were never as powerful as men?


Think about what you're saying man
There is already some good gaming journalism. It's just that there are certain things that have to change.

Have I mentioned anything in this thread about feminism or misogyny? It's like you want everybody who doesn't have the same opinion as yours to be put into this blurry group of "SJWs" you hate so much.

They usually edit these interviews in basically every show, especially ones that are geared towards comedy. If that question is legit though I would have loved to see her face.

Its why i wish they uploaded the cut material to comedy central but unfortunately that footage (if it exists) is doomed to a hard drive in a storage closet for all time

The Daily Show usually puts extended interviews on their website. I don't know why Colbert doesn't, though then again that wasn't his main interview guest.

anita sarkeesian is Riddler

edit: watching the episode of colbert, oh my god I'm already pissed

[Ipquarx]

oh no get ready for more walls of text

[Zack]

So I've gotten out of the whole gamergate thing, can someone explain who Anita is? I apologize for my inability to actually read through the whole thread, but getting an answer or at least a link to a page in the thread would be much faster than trudging through fifty-odd pages.

Again, sorry, just curious about this.

She made a web series about mysoggyknee in gaming and got 160k on kickstarter for it.
