Detestable. I don't understand why dudes act like such ignorant little fucks when it comes to feminism. They think everything is lollipops and gumdrops for women, even though they are paid less money than men (in the US), get raped more than men, and are not taken seriously in the workforce. Yeah, women are really having a ball. Men, go jerk your dick off and keep telling yourselves that women have it good (Btw, I am a man disgusted with other men, for all the men who might claim that I'm a "feminazi").
Oh Jesus Christ. Too fucking far. Not even kind of funny. Do these idiots even realize what this will start?
If she pisses gamers off so much, why can't they just raise $80,000 for Child's Play and bake her 400 cupcakes?
absoulutly ludicrus, In all things we must be respectful. Our opinions may not exactly match up but that does not mean that i can't respect her opinion. I would hope that everyone can tell apart the trolls and the actual level headed debaters. there is no reason for a game like this.
Oh my dear lord.
I'm not even laughing. I legitimately feel disgust. Sincerely, my passion for games was just a hurt a tad. Thank you, "gamers".

@ Jim "Newgrounds flash game invites players to beat up Anita Sarkeesian"
one guy with mediocre flash skills has cause worldwide outrage.
go internet!

Jim, Why did you put a link to this shit? Also that picture just a little to close for comfort I think.
Part of me wants to lighten the affair by making a joke, but it's just...ughh. There's really nothing that can make this OK.
This has gotten beyond pathetic. I get it, you don't agree with the woman or you see her values as trite. Or your just scared because her cause is continuing to gain ground. Whatever the case is, this sort of shit is wholly unnecessary. If you smarted the fuck up, you'd notice that this sort of thing is only going to HELP her campaign. Fucking idiots, the lot of them.
@Plerpo
I sort of feel the same way. It doesn't deserve attention (though burying our heads in the sand is probably just as bad) and that picture turns my stomach.

And the "you" in my comment is towards the general idiot population fighting this chick. Not to anyone in particular.
What's sad about this (other than the obvious vile side of creating a game where you beat someone up because you disagree with them) is the inevitable Jezebel article calling out all male gamers for supporting this kind of thing.
Let me get a Flash game together. Something sort of similar that the Anita haters will surely enjoy without resorting to this.
You just click the on-screen "You're stupid!" dialogue option as Anita talks of her stance on feminism and video games. The longer you play the game, the bigger her frown is. She eventually starts crying and that's when you win.
There.
Oh and high scores to go for! How many times can you mash that mouse click?

This is pretty fucking stupid and juvenile. There has been some good criticism against her though

Not trying to be a dick here but I really don't think generating any traffic - even just curious traffic for it is a good idea. Just say it's out there and, if they want to, people could look for it instead. Talk about it all you want but a link... It's just inviting clicks and its promotion of a kind, even if negative.
The picture is fucked and I'm really not okay with it being used at all.

Anita Sarkeesian is a sign of what's wrong with society.
She gets paid to be narrow-minded as fuck.
I get to be open-minded and I don't get paid for it.
Fuck society.

Sexism is alive and well in life violence! Looks like the problem is not in the game but in certain individuals.
How about we don't draw more attention to horrible fuck-wastes* like this?
*the creators of this game, not Anita

That's the exact article that inspired my comment. I didn't post a link because the comments in that article are as vike as this articles header image.
Fuck them and their generalizations. They are no better than the people they are lambasting.

I think you might be under the impression that I posted the article or something... I just said I agreed that it doesn't deserve our attention and the picture makes me feel sick.
That said, as journalists (or bloggers, or whatever one wants to call whatever it is we do) our job is to report on relevant news. This is relevant news, even if it is horrible stuff that I honestly wish I never knew about.

I really don't support this, and it should probably be taken off Newgrounds. If someone wanted to host it privatley, fine. It's just a stupid flash thing however. Guy is only helping her "cause". It seems like the people who respond to her arguments, effectively turning them to dust, don't get attention however, I can see why people are frustrated.
The journos don't mind interviewing Anita, but they don't want to interview the people who have defeated her arguments, or present the reasons they are bad arguments to Sarkeesian herself. If she is softballed and coddled by the gaming press, this kind of stuff is only going to get worse.

This is so terrible that I am literally weeping vomit. Oh wait, there are like 7 fucking billion of these on Newgrounds.
Man up, people.
Anita Sarkeesian is the biggest cunt in gaming at the moment. Fucking stupid, fucking lazy and fucking deceptive. I'm surprised no one on staff at DTOID has actually noticed this.

GOD DAMMIT.

Then I say, GOD DAMN the ignorance that fosters this kind of horrific thing.

If this was Jay Wilson instead of Anita, no one would care. She wants equality, I would say this is pretty damn equal.
You know what would be really crazy? If she did this herself just to get more people on her side. Not saying that's the case but it would be effective, yes?
Fraser/Plerpo: I get what you're saying about giving it attention. But, as noted in the post, it's an own-goal since every time something like this happens, it just backfires and shines a spotlight on the problem of harassment. I think that's worth posting about.
As for the header, well, it's *supposed* to be unpleasant. That's from the game, and I think it's good if it makes folk uneasy. Of course, if there are enough complaints, I'm sure it'll end up getting changed, but I think it ought to be looked at and scrutinized.

How can women ever be considered equal when you get a bunch of butthurt white knights crying everytime they get made fun of like a man does?
@Bakewell
Jezebel works on being abrasive, and much like Kotaku, has no love for anyone who isn't them. Occasionally interesting but mostly face-palm.
It is NOT a feminist site! I can't stress that enough. It's fem-lite at best. If you want a good feminist site the ms blog isn't a bad place to start.

Gamers like to pride themselves on being so smart, but we really are some of the most disgustingly regressive people I know.
What a shame.
What a shame.
The more I think about this, the less surprised I am. Before it ever became anything else, Newgrounds was all about murdering the crap out of things you find distasteful.
I'd be interested to see where all the money she is getting ends up.
Id say most of it goes to her bank account.

This is disgusting.
And in response to those who say "if it's a guy no one would care", that's not the point. The point is that someone feels the best way to argue about this woman's viewpoints is to beat her up in effigy. Not to rebut her points, whatever they may be, but to use violence. No matter whose face is up there, the sentiment underneath is disgusting.

@ LiquidBear "get raped more than men"
it's been verified by several studies that more men are raped yearly than women in the US. goes to show that people love to get excited without knowing what they are talking about.
mens lives aren't all gumdrops and whatever the fuck you said either, and it's taking sides like you just did that really creates barriers between men and women. if we're supposed to be equal to women, don't make them out to be so fucking pitiable.

Yeah, I totally understand your reasoning. The header certainly shows how foul the... I don't even want to call it a game... the thing's creators are.

This is the truest thing said in the entire thread.

All I can say is please, read more about Feminism, its dictionary definition does little to explain the complex and multifaceted nature of it.
Ah NG... home of the socially inept, sexually repressed & mentally retarded. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. (Except 4chan, Funnyjunk...) If there ever was an "other side of the tracks" of the internet -- or a Detroit -- you'd visit these sites.
Jim, what's with the tabloid reporting? You're just driving traffic to those sites. Sometimes it's better to just ignore the crazies & let them die.

Way to whiteknight, you idiots. Anita Sarkeesian is a con artist, plain and simple. The entire third-wave of feminism is like this; all of the crazy feminazis came in from the sidelines and took control of the movement. This is nothing like what we used to march about, and picket about, this is just whining, plain and simple. Her entire idea of "Violence against women is SEXIST" is an insult to the idea of gender equal-value.
Plus, the only thing that informs her opinion of videogames is either the art direction or some shallow description she read on wikipedia. Talk about objectifying!
