Anita Sarkessian's Greed vs. Your Charity and Compassion

[Shankapotomus]

While I support not objectifying women in video games or in RL and feel, at times, Anita has been unfairly attacked and her efforts misunderstood, I'm genuininely concerned what Anita is doing with donations.

I think she should exercise some self financial accountability and let her donors know why the money they donated hasn't produced the projects for which it was supposedly intended.

1. No one even cares to address this?

Idk, is it misogynist to expect Anita to provide her donors with an expense report so they can see that their donations are being used for what they said they would be used for?

Am I giving the amazing atheist to much control of the narrative? Is it so obvious he is wrong?

2. TAA is an arsehole of the highest order.

Women, and men who actually like women, please read this link:

Here is a taste of how he talks to a rape victim on reddit (NSFW):

“I will make you a rape victim if you don’t fuck off.”

“Yeah. Well, you deserved it. So, fuck you. I hope it happens again soon. I’m tired of being treated like shit by you mean little cunts and then you using your rape as an excuse. Fuck you. I think we should give the guy who raped you a medal. I hope you fucking drown in rape semen, you ugly, mean-spirited cow. Actually, I don’t believe you were ever raped! What man would be tasteless enough to stick his dick into a human cesspool like you? Nice gif of a turd going into my mouth. Is that kind of like the way that rapists dick went in your pussy? Or did he use your asshole? Or was it both? Maybe you should think about it really hard for the next few hours. Relive it as much as possible. You know? Try to recall: was it my pussy or my ass?”

“I’m going to rape you with my fist.”

“BTW, you have to admit, when I told you that I hope you drown in rape semen, you got a little wet, didn’t you? It’s okay. We’re friends now. You can share.”

“Fuck you, liar. All night you douches have tried to shit on me and tear me down. Then when I do the same it’s like, “Whoa man! That’s too far. Calm down.” No. Fuck you. Go get raped in whatever orifice you have to get fucking raped in. I am sick of your shit. I regret nothing.”

3. Okay

So he has to work on his interpersonal skills.

This is really disappointing . I wished TAA and feminists could have gotten along but it looks impossible now.

4. Frankly, I find Anita's Trope series and this Gamergate BS to be just as lame.

Frankly I take TAA's accusations financial accountability with a grain of salt due to his excessive e-begging in the past.

Ironically, Anita would probably not be as well-known if these man-o-sphere/MGTOW/MRA/gamergate assholes weren't throwing a shit fit about her all the time on YouTube.

And don't get me started on that EPIC FAIL of that documentary known as "The Sarkeesian effect".

5. I think both sides are being silly in one form or another

They both look like they are in their twenties and may still have a lot to learn about life. Anita, maybe about picking your battles. And TAA, definitely about controlling his outrage. He didn't have to hope feminists were raped. He does say his channel is given to exaggerations but he didn't have to completely denounce these women. Sure, there are some feminists that aren't very skilled at expressing their struggle and are prone to seeing fire where there may be none but it is still a legitimate struggle that should be handled with some sensitivity and tact.

I'm kind of sad that these two sides don't get along.
