Tropes vs Women in Video Games

We also have nothing to indicate that she is working in the series.

True, but we don't have anything to prove she isn't.

The fact that she is missing her deadlines and is giving no public acknowledgment of that doesn't paint a good picture of her.

I'd say the lack of anything towards the viewers, even a tiny update, is a good indication she probably isn't working on the video. Not saying she couldn't be, but as of right now? It's extremely hard to believe she is at all. I'm not willing to put blind faith in someone who refuses to tell us anything at all.

However, I do not believe she manipulated anyone at all. A lot of it I actually believe is donations, not false advertising. But they did give them freely, and it's outright expected of her to give us something. If she does nothing by the end of this year, I'd going to call "yeah, she has no intention of doing anything at all for us."

The insulting part is how she has gained attention not through actions of her own but because of the trolls. There are severe problems with her presentation of media and a demonstrable lack of ressource. But all that seems to matter nothing and she gets invited and listened to at supposedly serious events.

26 days to the end of the year.

Tick.

Tock.

and before that it will be Christmas!!!!

maybe her first video will be on Christmas as a gift?

Lack of anything to her viewers? I think we already discussed that the only people she is updating is the people who donated.

Also the trolls aren't exactly going about it the usual way. Most people who post up videos about this kinda thing aren't exactly showered with this much misogynistic hate. I kind of wonder what makes her so special. Is it because she used kickstarter? I also have to wonder why the trolls who actually do hate her watcher her and posted on the comments knowing they were giving her more publicity.

@Besserwisser: That is not her fault. I doubt she was expecting this much reaction at all.

I wasn't really criticizing her, as much as I criticized her supporters.

The hate was also as much as it was because 4chan was literally spammed with threads about her. Not saying she did it, but the reaction from then on was pretty much expected regardless of her agenda.

And they did say anything.

Not a single leak in many, many months.

@Besserwisser: Yeah and? 4chan is crazy on all sides. I highly doubt most of her supporters are like that. I don't really get the hate from her. Most people don't hate Spoony cause he has got a lot of crazy fans.

I dislike her for her bad research, bad arguments and bad ideology she uses in her videos. Everything else is just bad because of that.

Most people do hate Spoony because he can get crazy drunk and happen to make misogynistic tweets that get him fired though.

To make this relevant, there was another interview or some stupid thing released and the comments section was immediately closed to "Combat the active hate campaign against this talk".

So she's hiding herself from any scrutiny.

When does Kickstarter or whatever start to say "Hey you need to do something"?

From any scrutiny? I highly doubt that. There are a ton of trolls out there along with people who genuinely hate her purely because of her gender. If most of it was actual criticism instead of calling her names I doubt she would have done that.

You know people would be asking "Where are the videos Anita?"

People are asking that.

Did anyone here donate to her Kickstarter? What's she saying about her progress?

In addition to the image on the last page, there's also this video, assuming nobody linked it before.

hahaha, i love sarcastic screaming.

its a nice reprieve from the last 4 hours of reading a somewhat apathy inducingly dark book.

I don't know if this has been posted yet but someone took a screencap from one of her updates and put it on tumblr

Edit: I couldn't link to the image directly itself but here's the post with it

the screenshot is too small to read.

If you click the high res button on the left the image will pop up in a new window that you can zoom in with

If you view the image in its own tab, you can change the "500" to "1280" on almost any Tumblr image to make it bigger.

Or you can do that, I guess. xD
