    @Diacanu , seriously man. Step away from this thread. You're getting way too emotionally involved.

    I can't follow what the actual disagreement is in here with all the snark. Can someone sum it up for me?

    From what I can tell, Dicky doesn't like Sarkeesian because reasons. He thinks her/our efforts would be better spent elsewhere, such as helping rape victims.

    Archangel doesn't like her because #notallgamers "she is the sexism version of Al and Jesse." (cite)

    In that you and your ilk obsess over the percieved faults of certain activists because it's easier than taking the issues they bring up seriously? :shrug:

    Well, there's 17 minutes of my life I'm never getting back. :(

    Seriously, Archie had a more thoughtful rebuttal back on page 1.

    Well, there it is, you hate women.
    In fact, you always did.
    We all noticed.
    Who's "we"?
    Never you mind.

    -Games are "fantasy" and "silly," which means they should be immune to criticism.

    -Sarkeesian doesn't understand "penis physics."

    -Assorted "I can read Sarkeesians mind" bullshit.

    Did that voice really just claim, three times in a row, that games can't help but over(sic!)emphasize female butts because so many women just have really big butts, especially if they're not white?

    She does have one good point, though, in criticizing Sarkeesian's use of the idea of normality. Which is exactly the kind of debate we should be having following Sarkeesian's analyses, and what they're there for.
