Can someone provide me with a background story for the hate behind this?
I still don't get it.
I essentially am not a because she is making a lot of money from being perpetually offended.

Im actually at a loss for words that idiots on the internet gave this woman 150k to make this shit.
This already happened, SHOCKINGLY turned out to be a scam.
Oh, boy. Can you link me up? I wanna laugh for a bit.
So has she been making this one video for nine months? Industry will be very different by the time she gets all the rest out with that schedule.
What if she turns off the comments section?
My wife saw a cut of the video earlier this week and said it was great.Please begooddecent.
You need credentials to know if someone's work is misinformed and biased?
Here's my credentials, I played Bayonetta. Seems like I have more credentials than her. Actually, change "Bayonetta" to "games". Those are my credentials.
But I'd really enjoy it if someone with said credentials had a similar project.
The problem isn't the subject matter. The problem is this woman's total ineptitude to make a solid argument. There are videos out there totally picking apart her arguments against Bayonetta.haha well... ignorance is hard to see when it is just in front of you i guess?
This post is the reason these videos should be made imo

lol, are people still trying to play up that scammer bullshit?
She started a kickstarter and pledged for $6,000

No, but solid, rigorous intellectual training in the liberal arts with an emphasis on critical thought is a good indication of whether someone can see their own biases, which is the first step in being able to critique the work of others.

I see the pre-video defense force is out in full.
Scared there's some truth? What's the problem with acknowledging that some video games do project sexist tropes about women?
I am sure that this thread will be filled with reasonable and welcoming posts and almost no knee-jerk reactions or attempts at vilifying the project.
Oh you mean a scam just like this one?

She said that Bayonetta being a single mother was the only redeeming thing about it.
And she has those? I thought you needed to experience something to have critical thoughts about it. She critiqued something she didn't experience. I mean, I've never eaten caviar, so I'd rather have a taste before saying it's good or bad.
You can all argue that the video was about the ad campaign. She threw in a few little nuggets she shouldn't regardless.
In fairness to her, she has no control over how much people pledge. I think anyway.
It's interesting that she sees being a single mother as inherently redeeming. Why? Single parent homes are normally a negative for children. Not something to celebrate.
Anyway, I'm more interested in what the reaction to this will be in the thread, but to be honest mainly for entertainment value. I pretty much know all there is to know about this subject. I am going to try and not post.

i wonder if she will at least point out male stereotypes within videogames aswell.
especially in her "Unattractive Equals Evil" video where that trope appears to be something that applies to every character rather than just women.
her writing and research skill suck for a college graduate in literal arts. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt with this only because at one point she said she was going to make sure to look at both sides of the argument.

There's no problem with discourse. The problem is if Sarkeesian approaches it in the same ignorant, contrived way she approached Bayonetta.
I'm all for discussing sexism in video games, but only insofar as it's intelligent commentary. The rage that would emerge if the videos turn out to be dreadful (for your Kickstarter contributions!) would rock GAF to its core.
So did you only watch the Bayonetta video like most here(which, keep in mind, was about the game's marketing, not the game itself), or her rest which were very well informed and researched?
Just saying, don't be that quick to judge.
dunno, that's why I'm going to watch her first video & read her bio.And she has those?

The single mother thing is an example of defeating a "trope" of female leads being young, vampy, and sexed up without and real family life of responsibilities. THAT'S why it was mentioned. It's not positive or negative, it defies a trope.
But not really 'cause she's not a single mother?
