hedwards: It's amazing how long this scam has been allowed to continue. She was funding 7 years ago and I'm still not sure how she could have run out of money without finishing the videos she promised to produce. She had $160k to do so.
Considering how shallow her videos are and that she got caught using somebody elses footage at one point, I just can't conceive of how she could have blown that kind of money without finishing. It's not like she needed a lot of time for research.
Running a company(even online) can cause anyone to blow through money quite quickly.
fronzelneekburm: I wouldn't be surprised if they actually "hired" Scamnita (ie. give her money for doing absolutely nothing of any value whatsoever), only to atone for the past "sins" they have committed in the eyes of the RetardEra crowd.
Nuh-uh, princess.
Us dudes don't like grifters, simple as that.
richlind33: Did she ever call out Madonna or Miley Cyrus for their gratuitous whore mongering and normalization of satanic imagery?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RhQwA4F3vI A woman(ZombieUnicorn) recently got in trouble for calling out dancers at a convention while painting her boobs/etc on twitch, so there's that(even if her doing it was hypocritical).
fronzelneekburm: Couldn't see the youtube video you linked, but even if she did, I'd still have more respect for both of them than I have for Scamnita. At least they work for a living instead of subsiding on handouts.
Miley Cyrus may look like gutter trash these days and she's an awful role model for young girls, but I really can't blame her, being brought up by a moonshine-swilling has-been hick father and having spent her adolescent years being put through the Disney meat grinder. And say what you will about Madonna, she put out a couple of good songs. Like a Prayer is legitimately great.
On the other hand, what has Anita done?
richlind33: The point is that they're two women (out of many) who have shamelessly profited from the objectification and sexualization of women, which is something Sarkesian claims to have a big problem with. Let's be honest here, no one is more at fault on that score than Hollywood is -- no one. But Sarkesian completely ignores that and targets companies whose market share is largely made up of white men, and ditto for "progresssive" game journalism. It's pretty obvious why Hollywood gets a free pass -- it's all about that alphabet soup. And kiddie fiddling is OK, too. Because what really matters is that it's open season on white, cis male scum.
This was bound to happen, sooner or later, because everybody loves to demonize and scapegoat, especially when you feel victimized and marginalized, and who doesn't these days? But this sure as FCK isn't going to empower anyone but the people who already have most of it, because they'll just keep getting richer while we're busy scratching and clawing each other's eyes out.
Because Anita was one of those feminists(the bad kind) who was ok with WOMEN objectifying themselves(and women objectifying men) but not for men to do such.
darthspudius: Hold on whilst my heart breaks, we may be waiting a while. I haven't seen it in a while.
She's like a bad rash that never goes away. She'll be back.
Heart will go onnnnnnn... it's also fitting as her company sank like the titanic.
AspirineSYN: Let's just end this thread here. No need to add fuel to a fire then cry about it when it burns your house down. Life is too short to be bothered about things like this.
Enjoy your good old games and stay happy.
Not to be mean to you, but i'd rather it go on(albeit civilly) as some want to talk about it.
Crosmando: She's also begging CD Projekt for money on twitter too, lol.
vsr: This is a subtle demand of ransom: "pay/hire me, and I will not tell Americans (biggest market for games) that your game is *phobic, *istic, hate-driven, etc etc).
Apparently, everyone needs to pay protection money.
And I thought racketeering is one of the most serious crimes in USA... -_-
It isn't a crime when extreme activists do it under the guise of tolerance/being pc/etc.
