15. Stuff like this pisses me off, not just as a gamer, but a decent human being.

For the record here, to be truthful, I don't quite agree with everything that Ms. Sarkeesian says. Sometimes I'll find something that we differ on. But honestly, this kind of thing looks gamers as a whole look bad.....but more than that, I think we can all agree that nobody deserves to be threatened with rape, or even *murder* just because you disagreed with them on something. Such behavior is unacceptable and should be condemned.

Honestly, FUCK YOU, Kevin Dobson. FUCK YOU.
