Simple, Anita has no evidence behind her claims that games or the gaming industry is sexist. Not even the journalists asks for proof. It's a lie

people are for doxxing us, comparing us to ISIS, and claim we've done genocide. Don't you think this is a little bit extreme?

That does not excuse bad journalism. They don't show both sides. They didn't do research, deleting comments and 25k dislikes as we speak

If I had to guess, I imagine it was deleted on the grounds of appearing as an advertisement. The post reads like a pitch rather than a general thread to discuss the film, especially since you're involved with it. I mean, granted, there was some discussion going on (before the Gamergate brigade derailed things), but, again: if I had to guess, I'd say it was deleted because the acting mod interpreted it as another drive-by advertisement.

If you'd like, I can try tracking down the acting moderator and ask for clarification on the matter.

you hypocrites should rather worry about REAL problems these days, you know..regarding the REAL life of people and not some friggin pixel-lifes in a goddamn game, do you really think it matters to the world out there if this game has a success or not ? do you think its bad for the industry if such a game has a success ??

seriously who fuckin cares ? gamers who like it will play it and if you dont like it just dont play it, whats with all you hypocrites wishing the game not to succeed ? i dont get it, what is it your problem if the game succeeds or not ?

i dont get you people, lets pretend this game will be a total success....will this cause you sleepless nights then or what ? are you scared of more real-life-rampages then or what exactly is your major problem with a possible success of this game ?

I am going to respond to you anyways

The GamersGate community is well known for attacking others with different opinions. Look at the posts in this thread. She hasn't even made the documentary and already people are somehow offended.

Sounds good, but please do remain true to facts. I find that most arguments about sexism in videogames involve in little substance. It seems more towards a matter of perspective rather than actual sexism. Case in point: A video game cover shows a Female in the boxart with clothes that can be considered sexy wear: sexist--because it shows a female in sexy wear promoting her as a sex icon. A video game cover shows a male with no shirt on revealing his masculinity--not sexist and no one gives two shits about it. As I have stated, a matter of perspective. I truly do not believe that it is neither sexist or non-sexist(?) but rather a marketing ploy to sell games. In fact, arguing that both cases are sexist towards both genders would be the better choice as both genders are being exploited for their sexuality (attractive female, strong cool male), but yet, I have seen nothing but only feminist movements. A very one-sided and close-minded response. The fact is, no gender has actually been discriminated against. I have not seen any evidence of either gender that one is less value than the other.

If you are to argue for sexism in video-games--I would rather you not. We've seen enough in media formats to know and understand that the male gender dominates. Comics? Male superheroes plenty over females. Movies? Males usually the lead and save the female. Music? Rappers are male dominated. Etc etc. We've even reached the point in where a movie such as (ahem) Frozen is called different and of a different caliber simply because it does not follow the same cliched genre of Males being princes and saving the girl. (good movie--putting it out there) So no, I do not believe that arguing for sexism inside the video game format is something that you would need to do. If we are to argue for just video games then we are keeping our minds and the scope of this "sexism" movement too small. Why are videogames singled out? It shouldn't be.

Now if you are to argue about sexism in the business of video games, that is a different beast all together. This is something worth investigating into. Are females really discriminated against in the business? Are companies more likely to hire a male over a female because they believe the female is not able to do the job simply because of gender? Are females being given smaller roles in the company? Are they less likely to be promoted? Are their wages likely less that that of an male counter-part because of their gender? Etc, etc.

So please, if you can, argue with facts and substance.

Sounds awesome, you have my support. Please keep us updated. I think it's great to get some insight in what type of games you female gamers enjoy the most and what you dislike when it comes to gaming in general. I have a 5 year old daughter who loves videogames so i might learn a thing or two from you. Good luck with your project:)

@hailtothequeen: if you need help with research, I'm game. I have a large game library as well, and am in need of something to keep me busy inbetween school and getting enlisted in the Air Force.

When I mean non-biased, I mean exactly that. Don't target and try to twist a game's intent around like Anita did with Hitman, for example.

An unbiased study clearly isn't happening either based on that attitude lol

This is already a fail

Bias isn't a bad thing. It's when you twist facts to fit your bias that it's bad.

You shouldn't spread lies just to be more neutral.

To be honest, not surprised at all. Really, the violence is no worse than other games I've played, but it's the context that pushed the ESRB over the limit. I really don't know what Destructive Creations can do to scale it down to an M, considering the context is interwoven into the game's entire concept.

The big question now is: will Steam eventually sell it considering they don't sell AO games?
