TLDR; I need some way to remember to come back to it at a later time when I have time to read it all. I'll follow this posts so hopefully comments of others over time will remind me to come back to it.
I watched the original video, but haven't looked at any of the comments for similar reasons. I'm a female gamer, I've played hardcore lose-120-hours-of-work-per-death PvP games 70 hrs a week for over a year of my life. I never had a problem with being female, but I'm weird that way. There was only one other true female on the server and she quit after a while.
I could see Anita Sarkeesian's points in her videos, but the fact that they never bothered me (in ways that I've noticed, there may be subtle changes to myself based on the messages I'm receiving from video games) doesn't mean that they didn't bother or scare away anyone else.
I loved the section in the original video where she says, "Or like game NNN, where they murder his wife and kidnap his daughter." x 20.
