Moving this on to the more accurate forum location, just as a heads up.

Does she even like video games? Every video she makes it's complains. You could make a game with cis gender characters and she would complain.
QFT.
Honestly, this bitch just needs to shut the fuck up about a topic she is still retarded about. Yeah we know she knows fuck all about video games and is just a miserable hag who has nothing better to do than be an attention seeking, condescending pain in the ass. What is more pathetic is the number of fuckwits who keep giving her hits by advertising her dumb shit when they complain about it. Unlike the common cold, you don't treat it by ignoring it, you drug the hell out of yourself until you are comatose and then ignore it.
I understand and sympathize with her viewpoint, but her videos make it out to be more serious than it is, as if this is something that absolutely MUST be changed. Video games. Are. Art. If the artist wants cleavage windows, fine with him. You may disagree with his depictions, you may not like them, you may wish they were different, but the fact of the matter is it's his art, not yours dammit. Don't like it? Comment and move on. Her smurfette principle video comes to mind; she tells the audience to put more than one female character in their medium regardless of what the author is going for.
I really cannot stand watching her videos. But the still image preview shown has a very buff muscular man on it. Does she mention how men are oversexualized too in her video? I mean, few men could attain such a body in real life. To do so would require devoting enormous time and effort to bodybuilding.
Anita "Screw You Out of Your Money" Sarkeesian, eh? She actually produced something new? I'm amazed.
Not surprised, though, that it's complete bullshit and 100% wrong. But, hey, she's an authority on men, right?
Nothing wrong with male gaze.
Male characters are often a reflection of male power fantasies and designed for a male audience.

If you want video games to be art you have to allow them to be critiqued like art. Can't have your cake and eat it
Wow she really thinks sexism in videogames will translate into sexism in the real world. Such an insult that she thinks men can't seperate fantasy from reality. She has to be a con artist.
Honestly? You can't force women to do something they are not interested in. Take a look at all the diverse amount of fields, jobs, and interests women commonly have and then look at men, then look at the over lap.
If women aren't interested in video games, it's probably the same reason why there are less women into sports, or cars. And why less men are into fashion or nursing. Any person with access to the internet can make an informed decision on their own about their own likes or dislikes.
As far as sexualization in video games? Well of course there is. But don't ever act like sexuality isn't the predominant driving force in our modern culture right behind money. Women and men go about flaunting their sexuality, both sexes are represented in very sexual ways in video games. That's fucking equality, right there.

I beg to differ. Male characters are not a reflection of male power fantasies and are more of a reflection of the inner, brooding, sexual desire females wish to be ravaged by. But it's not all females, not all male characters and not all males.
So my entire comment is as baseless as your entire comment. =)
There are no worse scum in this world than fascists, rebels and political hypocrites.
Donald Trump is only like Hitler because of the fact he's losing this war on all fronts.
Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?
If merit was the only dividing factor in the human race, then everyone on Earth would be pretty damn equal.
