I wanted to hint at that topic to be honest. I describe myself as a feminist. The gaming community serioulsy has to take criticism from Anita. S and co. Not all her points might be correct, but there is some truth in her videos. There is also sexism in video games and the community.
That aside, I think discussing feminism honestly is all the advertising feminism needs. What journalists write these days is below any form of integrity. We have the same problems in the industry and there is research that we are unconsciously sexist*. The best remedy is informing people about it. Not starting an ideological crusade against a "culture".

edit: *unconsciously sexist mostly without ill attemts, if i look at the gaming community.


The problem with Anita is that she herself is not credible that's why most people just hate her not because she's a woman.

I really don't care for a woman's appearance in a video game and I also don't care about a man's appearance. It's depends on how you really sexualize a person's appearance and put it into context.

If you ask me, I really prefer the game play rather than the appearance. I could only tolerate the graphics of the game from SNES era and not dwarf fortress kind of graphics. I've been playing games since SNES era, that's why I don't usually think of big boobies whenever there is one on my screen.
