Hey man, I absolutely love your videos, but I'm not sure if promoting an online casino to your fanbase is a good idea. I don't know how old most of your viewers are, but if the majority of them--or, at least, a substantial number of them--are younger, this could end... really badly. I'm not trying to be a hater or to get anyone cancelled, and I understand that TH-camrs (like everyone else) need to make their money. But, as a fan, I feel like I can see the potential for harm, here, and would be remiss to not say anything.
I had this same experience yesterday, I scrolled down to the info for one of my favorite albums I was listening to, and was reminded it came out in 2005. I feel f**king old now .
Who actually cares, I can't believe people are trying to bash him for that 😭, if his vids targeted kids that would be one thing but they don't, do grown ass men and woman need their hand held and to be told gambling is bad? No, everyone does it but that's on the individual
@@user-wl8zm2gl5r i dont actually care that much, its just a bit jarring to see a flat out gambling app instead of one of the usual sponsors. and felt like convaying my sentiment that youd only really take this sponser over one of the more milquetoast ones if it payed out considerably more.
Yeah, I unsubscribed. I was wondering why only 1k likes. He lost the plot. What a money hungry hypocrite, making a living making videos about controversies, while choosing one of the most vile things that ruins lifes and families as a sponsor.
@@NoRegs30 hell the 10th anniversary of gamergate just passed and no one talked about her. I think that says alot about her impact on the cultural zeitgeist.
@@BonShula what points? the lady is a grifter who clearly never gave a shit about gaming and could quite possibly be the reason we have companies like sweet baby inc. today. she doesn't care about video games she just wanted to push her narratives in them.
No mention of the latest research by Professor Chris Ferguson that demonstrated that there is no connection between video games and sexist attitudes or harm to women's self image? The problem with Sark was that the entire premise of her arguments was that video game content was having some sort of negative psychological effect on players and that this was something that required immediate action. She even cited people like Brad Bushman and Karen Dill, who were involved in the "games and violence" moral panic in the 2000s. Anita stans like to pretend now that she was only pointing out overused tropes, but that wasn't the truth at all. She was claiming that this stuff was causing societal harm by existing. Even though it's "okay to enjoy", it is apparently not okay for this stuff to continue to be produced.
Anita was just a small piece. We had fall of the Atheist community & the Wikipedia wars.... And there is the whole Academia connection. In 2008, They literally trained the university students to modify Wikipedia. And DIGRA was running since 2003. They were pushing all that stuff too. They are still running events like "Envisioning the Future of Game Cultures".
In the second Tropes vs Women video she tries to trick the viewers into thinking that video game violence against female characters will lead to violence against women in real life. It's funny how her supporters always ignores this part. She starts to bring up violent crime statistics and goes on to say that it's "dangerously irresponsible" for game developers to make games where you can attack female characters. There she's making the conection. She doesn't offer any proof of this of course. We're just supposed to believe her.
Tbh, I don't think Chris Ferguson is right. Let me preface with this: It would be..... VERY convenient for me to say prof Ferguson was right. I don't like the current gamer space online. How on one side, you're an "Incel" for wanting an attractive female character. How on the other, you're a "woketard" for acknowledging Hades 2 is a good game and the designs are great. Ferguson being correct would make one of those two problems go away. But the fact of the matter is : When Anita was a thing? The "Atheist" and "skeptic" community churned out video after video after video on why this woman was an evil PoS and gamers watched and ate that shit up like Candy. Ghost of Yotei's mocap star took action and blocked ALL of the rage baiters who complained and got their pitchforks ready that their self-insert Samurai game had a woman at the cover and IMMEDIATELY they got predictably mad and declared the game dead before a fucking gameplay trailer. Ya'll will see a squad of gamer girls getting "uppity" and make an entire stream about shutting them down and MILLIONS will watch it and praise you, but nobody gives a shit when male gamers get smug (and you f49s act SOOO smug over video game victories) I'm sorry, but anyone who says there is no connection between video games and sexist attitudes is a fucking fool.
Anita was always a front. Jonathan McIntosh was the one developing the narratives for her and using her as a puppet. Once he wasn't associated with her anymore, her relevancy nose-dived because she wasn't crafting any of the content herself, although the poison they put into the industry remained.
@@cmc5394oparva Well, she did her degree at York University. You can read her degree & about her research professor. And there is DIGRA ("An international association for academics and professionals who research digital games and associated phenomena.") * She went all the way to United Nations. ... It's a multi-billion dollars industry. McIntosh (even as a rich/connected kid) is just a person in the industry. * And I don't mean gaming. Gaming is just a small part of it.
The reason behind the hate was because many of her points were reaching or flat out misinformation about games, and would upload them as facts. And her criticisms of females in game were often times nonsensical. Even getting upset over the fact that males and females sat differently in Destiny 1. Instead of trying to use her money to make the games she wanted to see, she would rather bully the industry into making what she wanted, at the expense of what made gaming good.
Her research quality was honestly low, like at the level of Moon... or Internet Anarchist... or SunnyV2... but all the channels I mentioned still work because they don't pretend like they're the center of some grand societal change like she did
Yeah, I remember when all this was happening as I'm about her age. Most of her arguments were basically "you'd have a great point...if that was actually the case". But another major issue involving her is that just as there were a lot of randos attacking her, there were also a lot of randos defending her. And those randos defending her were absolutely using the arguments like "video games cause sexism". I remember getting into personal discussions/arguments about it myself with people I knew, and it was all very reminiscent of the "video games make people violent" rhetoric of the 90's...which I also saw first hand.
@@Nidhogg151 it’s the exact same type of argument as video games cause violence, just that this time she found people in the industry that took it seriously, which gave it actual power that hurt the games to this day
@@NoRegs30 Yeah, but at least now it seems like the developers are going to be learning their lessons. Not just games, but all media that is effectively an after school special is failing commercially. And money is all that matters.
@@TheDigitalApple what exactly did she do? If I remember correctly she was just slightly annoying. She never actually did anything like criminal to people.
@@RamseySchaefer Susan made TH-cam the greedy company it is today. From the huge waves of demonetizations, making TH-cam no longer about “You” but instead the corporate trend following website and made copyright abuse worse.
A lying, dangerous grifter who has left the industry worse than when she found it. She presented herself as a long-time fan of games who knew lots about them and just wanted to make the hobby better, but admitted in a puff piece interview that she wasn't even into games and had to learn all of the (mis)information she talked about in her videos. She invented problems that didn't exist just to have something to complain about, and in other cases, simply outright lied. Despite her lack of knowledge and lack of logic, some game developers bought the act, listened to her, and their games became worse for it. Strong, independent female characters have been the protagonists of many classic video games since the industry's infancy in the 1980s and this is a trend that has continued throughout multiple decades until today. Yet listening to her, you'd think it was a boys-only club that whole time until she showed up to educate us all on our ignorance and misogyny.
@@ShiroiKatana yeah. This video tries to paint her as good person who was misunderstood. And the closing statement sounds as if he thought being right wing was a negative
@@NewCanadianTurtle How could I? It’s half of why most modern AAA games are terrible today. Just look at sweet baby for example, and anyone else talking about being a video game consultant, or whatever they want to call themselves.
@@shadowsonshadowson3929 brother, I knew it was over as soon as I saw pics of Sarkeesian giving speeches at Bungie studios. If she's getting invited to those companies to speak, it was over. I forgot when it happened but I remember it was years ago. I knew it was over..... Even rockstar games, I hope their games will still have heart.
Very true and the funniest thing is that all the money she stole was stolen from her supporters. I always wondered if that was why she faded away or if it was the fact that her boyfriend John Macintosh wrote all her material and when he left her she couldn't write her own material.
1:23:00 Anita's biggest success was making her constant bad takes untouchable. You couldn't even have valid criticism of her. The effect of this was the various games journalism sites and the various conferences inviting her along and praising her because they felt it would somehow give them positive PR because let's face it, corporate entities are generally out of touch with reality. She purposefully provoked 4chan's troll army and continued to prod them to make sure the attacks kept going so she could play the martyr and that's where the vast majority of her trolls came from. It was her own, purposeful doing. But as distasteful as she was, she pales in comparison to Zoe Quinn and Breanna Wu. Quinn is an absolute trash human and Wu has something wrong upstairs. But for as horrid as they were, they never reached any sort of relevance, thankfully.
All I remember from all this debacle, was that a talented musician and composer with light mental health issues, was dragged through the mud by Zoe, so hard, with endless accusations that were never looked at by a court, that the man ended his own life because he could not live with the pressure and shaming going on. I believe this was the height of the general "he is a man, he must have done something" attitude we see around today as well. I listen to his music today and I just cry.
It has been years and I still don't really like Anita Sarkesian. Gamergate was a dumpster fire. I honestly think you could discuss politics within gaming culture in nuanced topics, but this woman initially thrived on bad-faith arguments. Her approach to political issues made other people who were more neutral about some controversies repulsed. However, Gamergate, Anita Sarkisian, and the radicalization of the Trump/Clinton era in politics made the polarization we see today. It sucks because we now have two extremes where people cry about optional gender settings and cleavage being covered by cloth by one pixel before release or some misandrist complaining how men are stifling women's existence while ignoring legitimate systemic issues like the Activision Blizzard harassment case.
She had interesting points, presented the most argumentative ways possible. She is a perfect example of a person who weaponized the "culture war" early on and became a forebearer of what would be happening. She signal boosted her loudest detractors the ones who easily went too extreme and refused to even consider any nuanced position, because those could show both sides might have good points. She could have been a voice of change, but instead wanted to profiteer off of the "random hate" she got, and fanned those flames until.... well it was burnt up and burnt out and no one thought about her as people moved on to the next big story (Brianna wu, and gamer gate) and eventually never thought of her again. It's strange, how once the hate disappated, there was nothing else? She basically thrived solely on how much people disliked her...
She was profiteering from the beginning, mate. She made a few videos about movies and music, and since there was no reaction, she probed the gaming industry and there she found a huge reaction she could milk. And she never talked about music or movies again, because gaming was where the money was at. Suddenly it was like there was nothing wrong in other industries. She lied about a whole lot of things. Her points were all bogus crap. And yes, she did become a professional victim.
Not sure if the video shows this (I'm still watching) but sometimes she did try to provide proof except... The footage showed the opposite of what she's claiming
@@BonShula They provided plenty of proof that she was wrong about everything she said. The disagreement was that she was lying, she also never finished the project that she was paid to do. "Gamer gate" was about ethics and they turned it into I'm a victim they are "Harassing" me, or death threats that they never provided any proof of.
@@asteroidalassassin6949 I don’t feel bad for you. I drive past a casino every day on my way to work. I see draft kings ads constantly. Ive been in a casino restort in Vegas for a 5 day work conference. I chose not to gamble. If you choose to gamble, that’s on you. It’s not even a bad thing. People have fun doing it, it’s just not for me.
Her answer to sexism is more sexism. It’s crazy how wrong she was about bayonetta. Anita, literally couldn’t see how good of a woman protagonist bayonetta actually is.
She assumed Bayonetta was for the male gaze and it turns out its main target ended up being lesbians. The sexualization was marketed to be wank material but ended up being attached to such a strong woman who owns herself it ended up being empowering.
So many of these videos just focuses on the controversy. Which isn't really that important. Are her videos actually any good? She's been praised in the media for them after all. And the short answer is.... No. They're not good at all. They're full of factual errors, logical fallacies and claims not backed up with any sources. The people who genuinely think her videos are good have almost no knowledge of the games she talks about.
She got a million dollars through crowdfunding for projects she never finished. It was a total scam. She made up the threats and stuff, too. People definitely sent her insults online, tho. But she played everyone.
Anita hatred wasn't ONLY due to the videos that she made, though that certainly did CONTRIBUTE to the over all disdain for Anita. What you SEEM to have glossed over, ignored or missed (by some miracle infernal or divine) was her UNAPOLOGETIC, disenginuity in the arguments that she would make about gamers. It was her lying to so many and about so much, THAT was what made people hate Anita. Much like how, people didn't hate Zoe for getting worked by 5 different guys, it was that she used her sex, or to put it another way, PREYED upon five, PATHETICALLY thirst men, for game reviews that did NOT accurately represent the game she created. THAT is why Anita is hated, because she LIED and INFILTRATED her way, like a thief in the night, into a culture that she had ZERO intention of showing the barest MODICUM of respect for.
Zoe never slept with anybody to get a positive review for her game. That is one of the key issues with Gamergate. It was based on a false premise. It was a lie told by her ex-boyfriend. He said she slept with Nathan Grayson to get a positive review. Well.. where is the review then? The answer is it doesn't exist because it was a lie to justify a harassment campaign which even if those lies were true, doesn't justify the harassment.
In her very first videos, she probed the music and movie industries, but there was no reaction. So then she probed the gaming industry, and there was a huge reaction, so she kept milking that reaction for as long as she could, and never made another video about the music or movie industries ever again, because gaming was where the all money was at. She apparently needed $160k to fund her youtube series that cost her no money to make. And later on she also needed $30k to set up a discord server for free. Anyway, then her bf dumped her and it all went downhill from there, because he was the talent and she's neither a strong, independent woman, nor talented. Ever since then she gets her snout out of the hole, and if she smells controversy or something, she comes out to try and cash in on it. It's really not a complicated story.
"everything is sexist, everything is homophobic, everything is racist. And you have to point it out all the time" Well maybe that's why people did not like her. Just look at the foundation of her character, it was not great.
I find her pretty unsufferable but I had actually never seen that full clip before. I thought she was serious but it seems clear now that she was actually making a joke about how annoying some feminist can be.
@@dannonyogurt98 this. I did not like her methods and thought she missinterpreted and misspresented some things. but I think she got a lot backlash from exactly those people who were (and are) a problem. The "middle ground" people were easily mobilized against her because ganging on an outsider is easy. Some just rode the wave as it got clicks, her clips and quotes were very often taken out of context. Please People: If you claim video games are art, then remember that art is more often then not political. TL:DR imho: she did slopy work, but got harder backlash then deserved, instead of constructive critique. Sargon gave me the impression he wanted to talk, though.
@@Elazul.Lapislazuli Misrepresented some things? She misrepresented A LOT of things in her videos. And it was clearly done on purpose. She would constantly leave out important information about games if that information weakened her arguments or nullified them. Lying by omission is still lying. She said it herself that the series was "well researched" and "double and tripple checked". She also had help making them. Several names show up during the end credits to each episode. Some of her claims can be debunked with just a quick google search. There's a big difference between being ignorant and intentionally trying to mislead people.
Not gonna lie, getting real tired of TH-camrs sponsoring gambling. Leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and makes the entire content feeling like less, but get the bag i guess.
You are an adult right? People tend to have a problem with promoting gambling to children... adults have the ability to choose. Based on your comments it sounds like you are closer to a child tho...
This video somehow succeeds in mentioning the fact that people were calling her a con artist, promoting a lot of her criticism; yet it fails to bring up how feminist frequency was a scam
And I feel like he's cutting her a little too much slack about the video she made, specifically about GTA and Hitman. I understand wanting to look at things from both sides but sometimes people just have bad takes.
It was a platform where they did the crowd funding scam. Ana used said money on a vacation. She had some truth in what she said, but she thought too highly of herself, she felt superior and started being arrogant and that was her downfall
@@klutzspecter3470 dude, why are you defending her, she made 249k for 15 videos. Not high budget. Even Turkey Tom can recreate those video for so much less. So what is the money used for. I tell you what, paid vacations. Expensive hotels. All from the emptied wallets of the simps that defended her. I don’t know what you think I am coping, she is a piss stain on the gaming industry. Stealing people game footage, claiming it as her own. And her research is surface level. So tell me, where did the money go.
I like a few content creators who get quickly dismissed as 'grifters', despite not ebegging or ladder climbing or blocking out their critics or taking speaking positions, or anything really that would be called grifting. If anything, a lot of them work hard and take a lot of pride in their work and get to deal with low or unsure rewards thanks to TH-cam. And all this because they critique writing in modern films. It seems like such slander over nothing. Meanwhile, Anita grifted so hard she poisoned every well in the village and made the biggest entertainment industry on the planet step carefully. We're still feeling the effects of her grifting. Grifting doesn't mean someone disagrees with you while maintaining an audience.
The most impressive thing was making a video about Anita Sarkisian and her not be the most hated part of the video. It was a gamble but I think it’ll pay off.
I'm beginning to realize that Anita was the feminist equivalent of all those grifters who don't play video games but still go viral complaining about how games are "woke" now
My entire problem with her is that her approach already starts with the conclusion that "video games are sexist towards women" so when conducting her "research" she already goes in with her own preconceived notions and bias, a type of "when you're a hammer everything is a nail" situation and that's not how you do research... also, when presenting her argument, she withdraws to a classic motte and bailey fallacy "i'm not saying video games are sexist they just reflect society" followed by "everything is sexist, everything is homophobic and you have to point everything out" (direct quote). TJ and thunderfoot at the time correctly sniffed through her bullshit while TheGamerFromMars fell right into it while simping uncontrollably to her and sponsoring gambling to his audience, good job!
@@morganm4768 The number of threats that Anita Sarkeesian got were highly exaggerated. She just kept showing the same ones over and over again in her Talks. The police did investigate them and it turns out that none of them were credible. Journalists wil always leave out that part. The "threats" were probably written by some edgy kids. Anita was never scared, she used those posts to get sympathy donations.
How I describe Anita Sarkessian is imagine you are at a party. Everyone is having a good time. And then someone who wasn't invited shows up and starts talking about trains but instead of trains its misogyny. She's the Female Buzzkillington.
You then ask her to leave because she's ruining the space, she then cries and yells how she deserves to be there and recruits a bunch of likeminded people to join. You then leave this ruined party, start another one elsewhere, and she shows up to that.
I thought she was born in 1983 not 1981. I've seen that Too Many Dicks On The Dancefloor video and it doesn't even make sense. Faith from Mirrors Edge shows up but she's not a male protagonist. We also see a short clip from Tekken 6 when two male characters are fighting. But this is a fighting game with both male and female playable characters. Talk about misleading. Is she against having male playable fighters in that game? It should only have female fighters? Like what is she even trying to say. Her Master Thesis is terrible.. It used to be on her website but she took it down when people who weren't her fans found it and started to make fun of her for it.
Not to mention he like glazes her for most of the video. Always pointing out inaccuracies in criticism of her but downplaying whatever she does wrong. It's insane
The one noteworthy thing I took away from this is that all the political and toxic coverage and community activism of the 2010s did so much damage to the average person perception of the industry and news that most people I know either only trust thier"real news" source or thru internet personality's online.
if you really want to make a controversial video why don't you try making one about how Anita's grift opened a floodgate of angry activists and griters that have invaded every facet of the gaming industry. from shill journos promoting "the message" to the "diversity and inclusion" hires that have pushed talented and experienced game devs out of jobs and how it has adversely affected gaming as a whole. how multi billion dollar companies like Ubisoft are on the brink of bankruptcy from forced DEI. go make that video if you really want to earn some respect. P.S. drop the gambling sponsors, it's really not a good look.
@@theobell2002 go vote for Kamala you low T soy sucking... you know what, it's not even worth finishing that insult, you wouldn't understand it anyway.
love how ever single person who attacks game always label San Andres as the "worst." bare in mind you are playing as a character who got burned by a bad cop. I think that is a good character not a "male fantasy"
People here defending him for having a gambling sponsor, but would say do that if it was a cigarette brand? It's the same thing. It's something not allowed for kids, and it's highly addictive for those aimed at. TH-cam is 13+ so kids can see this ad. Gambling ruins lifes. Gamer from Mars shows he is willing to promote life ruining addictive gambling for money, as if a channel his size doesn't get other sponsor deals. It's all about the money, isn't it, who cares about morals? Pretty low for a channel that makes videos about internet controversies.
womp womp. youtube isnt here to raise your children. monitor their online usage, stop crying online about it. his last video was literally about a p*rn star, no kids should be watching this channel in the first place.
Anita has to be related to sweet baby inc. With the "We have to scare them into doing this." Line Also is thair a series about woke games hating white straight men at the same quality of her series?
Well, I'm not really sure if there are enough games to do that kind of analysis...though looking through the decades it's very easy to find plenty of games that objectify women. Maybe in a few decades we'll have enough 'woke' games to have such an analysis series...and if you feel strongly enough about it, maybe you could be the one who starts it.
No idea if she has connections to them. It wouldn't surprise me if she did, but who knows? However, it is clear that companies like Sweet Baby Inc. have used Feminist Frequency and Anita Sarkeesian as a blueprint and inspiration.
Anita was a bully as a child and she grew up to be a bully. Even that scam with Zoe “crash override” (what a joke, someone watched hackers), just outlines that she’s a bully and hangs around with other bullies
Like most other people here, the blatant misrepresentations of the games she was critiquing was one of my biggest pet peeves. But the other one is that Anita, as well as a lot of her followers, were just... The most *toxic* kinds of feminists. The amount of times I and other women were accused of having 'internalized misogyny' because we disagreed with Anita was ridiculous- and they were absolutely nasty to women who chose not to be feminists.
Most feminists don’t even know what it is . Being a feminist is simply wanting equal rights and pay as men it has nothing to do with hating men or disliking them being masculine.
Like you can gather from Thomas Sowell books, Activism is a non sense that appeals to people who are damaged and cant do anything constructive. You see the people who cant live a normal life and cannot be trusted even with a wood plank to not move, they are all drawn to activism. The vision of the "anointed" as the book says it. People who cant grasp reality, they cant know how demented those things are. It unhinged mentality that creates these people. And they grow because some want to be entertained by their idiotic notions, and others just want the World to burn. One thing is true: They are always a plaything to anyone. Sadly, there is one too many people too naive to not be caught in their idiocracy net.
That caveat that she makes over and over that she's not claiming that sexist tropes in media make people sexist, they merely reinforce existing sexism is so weasly. To break that down, that would mean that she doesn't think that it can take somebody who didn't have pre-existing sexism and make you sexist, It means that it only makes the sexism that people already have stronger. If it's capable of doing the second thing, then why isn't it capable of doing the first? When you think about it it's an incredibly weak way to delineate what she's saying from the comparison of claims that violent media makes people violent.
Because media reflects reality in some ways and is different from it in others. 99% of times we are able to discern the part of fiction that looks like reality and the part of fiction that doesn't, but if our view of reality is distorted and we see the same view in fiction, our ideas are validated because we think that's the of fiction that's supposed to look like reality. I believe media *CAN* trigger violent or general undesirable behavior, but only at people who already see these behaviors as normal or somehow validated or morally correct. This is how we get those "Patrick Bateman is actually really cool and I wish I was him" types.
Well when taking gambling sponsorships tanks his channel at least the Gamer from Mars can get a job at Tim Hortons. He's an absolute expert in glazing.
Who cares. Sorry you don't understand the concept of self control. Adult men and women don't need their hands held by some bundle of sticks like you LOL

I unironically believe anita sarkesian did more to elect trump than hillarys emails, russia (if thats even true), and trump himself. So many young liberal men were pretty much radicalized from her and gamergate that it still affects the political landscape today.
Some of the hate she got was justified but some of it was taken too far. Issue is she acted like the extreme examples were all or just most of the hate. They were not. Also 25:31 I recently saw her videos too. They are benign nowadays but back then not at all. That’s because we’be gone so far off the deep end into extremes and the overton window has shifted so much she seems alot more level headed than what we see today. Also on their own I can see how her detractor’s rebuttals could be seen as strawmen, saying she’s claiming something when she’s not, but that’s if you believe she’s actually correct in her worldview and if you look at the bigger picture (by looking at what she’s said in the past and how she worded things in other parts of those videos you’d see that one could easily interpret her arguments to mean what the detractors are saying
You're joking right? Of course she should be hated. She lied and ruined game studios and franchises. You just wasted 90 minutes of peoples lives and countless hours of yours doing this.
hold on a second.......Davis WAS NEVER A MEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST. He never claimed he was, and never advocated for the rights of men. Please do better research in the future.
@@CNFunnyJon firstly its up to the person making the claim to provide the evidence, Gamer made his claim with none. But how do I know Davis isn't and never has been an MRA? 1) He openly spoke out against and mocked the MRM on his channel, for the record I'm not sure if his channel still exists. 2) He never ADVOCATED for the rights of men, if you do not ADVOCATE or aren't an ACTIVIST for the rights of men, then you are obviously not an MRA (the "A" standing for ADVOCATE or ACTIVIST), the ADVOCATING or being and ACTIVIST is kind of essential. I mean its right there in the name. You wouldn't claim someone is a truck driver if they have never been near a truck let alone driven one. Unfortunately there is a long history on non-MRAs or openly anti-MRAs being classed as MRAs by either the ignorant or dishonest. The ones that make me laugh the most is when the TERFs refer to third wave pro-trans feminists as MRAs, and the third wave pro-trans feminists refer to the TERFs as MRAs. I guess they can't both be right. The way many feminists, particularly in the media, use the term MRA is "anyone (almost exclusively male) who disagrees with my beliefs", and thats simply not an accurate description. It would be like saying the definition of "feminist" is "blue haired lesbians", which although extremely narrow and incorrect is still more accurate than the one most people in the media use for MRA. but if you still aren't convinced, I'm pretty sure I made at least one video long ago debunking the whole "davis is an MRA" claim, and if you wish I can find it and post a link when I get time. I'm good at backing up my claims.

Hey man, I absolutely love your videos, but I'm not sure if promoting an online casino to your fanbase is a good idea. I don't know how old most of your viewers are, but if the majority of them--or, at least, a substantial number of them--are younger, this could end... really badly.
I'm not trying to be a hater or to get anyone cancelled, and I understand that TH-camrs (like everyone else) need to make their money. But, as a fan, I feel like I can see the potential for harm, here, and would be remiss to not say anything.

@@SayItWithASM The evil narrative of women and minorities being treated with respect.
No mention of the latest research by Professor Chris Ferguson that demonstrated that there is no connection between video games and sexist attitudes or harm to women's self image? The problem with Sark was that the entire premise of her arguments was that video game content was having some sort of negative psychological effect on players and that this was something that required immediate action. She even cited people like Brad Bushman and Karen Dill, who were involved in the "games and violence" moral panic in the 2000s. Anita stans like to pretend now that she was only pointing out overused tropes, but that wasn't the truth at all. She was claiming that this stuff was causing societal harm by existing. Even though it's "okay to enjoy", it is apparently not okay for this stuff to continue to be produced.
Anita was just a small piece.
We had fall of the Atheist community & the Wikipedia wars....
And there is the whole Academia connection. In 2008, They literally trained the university students to modify Wikipedia.
And DIGRA was running since 2003. They were pushing all that stuff too. They are still running events like "Envisioning the Future of Game Cultures".
In the second Tropes vs Women video she tries to trick the viewers into thinking that video game violence against female characters will lead to violence against women in real life. It's funny how her supporters always ignores this part. She starts to bring up violent crime statistics and goes on to say that it's "dangerously irresponsible" for game developers to make games where you can attack female characters. There she's making the conection. She doesn't offer any proof of this of course. We're just supposed to believe her.
Tbh, I don't think Chris Ferguson is right.
Let me preface with this: It would be..... VERY convenient for me to say prof Ferguson was right.
I don't like the current gamer space online.
How on one side, you're an "Incel" for wanting an attractive female character.
How on the other, you're a "woketard" for acknowledging Hades 2 is a good game and the designs are great.
Ferguson being correct would make one of those two problems go away.
But the fact of the matter is : When Anita was a thing? The "Atheist" and "skeptic" community churned out video after video after video on why this woman was an evil PoS and gamers watched and ate that shit up like Candy.
Ghost of Yotei's mocap star took action and blocked ALL of the rage baiters who complained and got their pitchforks ready that their self-insert Samurai game had a woman at the cover and IMMEDIATELY they got predictably mad and declared the game dead before a fucking gameplay trailer.
Ya'll will see a squad of gamer girls getting "uppity" and make an entire stream about shutting them down and MILLIONS will watch it and praise you, but nobody gives a shit when male gamers get smug (and you f49s act SOOO smug over video game victories)
I'm sorry, but anyone who says there is no connection between video games and sexist attitudes is a fucking fool.
Anita was always a front. Jonathan McIntosh was the one developing the narratives for her and using her as a puppet. Once he wasn't associated with her anymore, her relevancy nose-dived because she wasn't crafting any of the content herself, although the poison they put into the industry remained.
@@cmc5394oparva
Well, she did her degree at York University.
You can read her degree & about her research professor.
And there is DIGRA ("An international association for academics and professionals who research digital games and associated phenomena.")

It's a multi-billion dollars industry.
McIntosh (even as a rich/connected kid) is just a person in the industry.

That ad really caught me off guard
The reason behind the hate was because many of her points were reaching or flat out misinformation about games, and would upload them as facts. And her criticisms of females in game were often times nonsensical. Even getting upset over the fact that males and females sat differently in Destiny 1.
Instead of trying to use her money to make the games she wanted to see, she would rather bully the industry into making what she wanted, at the expense of what made gaming good.
Her research quality was honestly low, like at the level of Moon... or Internet Anarchist... or SunnyV2... but all the channels I mentioned still work because they don't pretend like they're the center of some grand societal change like she did
And to this day her points are still used as fact by some people and she is somehow still respected by game companies
It’s wild
Yeah, I remember when all this was happening as I'm about her age. Most of her arguments were basically "you'd have a great point...if that was actually the case". But another major issue involving her is that just as there were a lot of randos attacking her, there were also a lot of randos defending her. And those randos defending her were absolutely using the arguments like "video games cause sexism". I remember getting into personal discussions/arguments about it myself with people I knew, and it was all very reminiscent of the "video games make people violent" rhetoric of the 90's...which I also saw first hand.
@@Nidhogg151 it’s the exact same type of argument as video games cause violence, just that this time she found people in the industry that took it seriously, which gave it actual power that hurt the games to this day

That sponsorship is a real gamble.
A lying, dangerous grifter who has left the industry worse than when she found it.
She presented herself as a long-time fan of games who knew lots about them and just wanted to make the hobby better, but admitted in a puff piece interview that she wasn't even into games and had to learn all of the (mis)information she talked about in her videos. She invented problems that didn't exist just to have something to complain about, and in other cases, simply outright lied. Despite her lack of knowledge and lack of logic, some game developers bought the act, listened to her, and their games became worse for it.
Strong, independent female characters have been the protagonists of many classic video games since the industry's infancy in the 1980s and this is a trend that has continued throughout multiple decades until today. Yet listening to her, you'd think it was a boys-only club that whole time until she showed up to educate us all on our ignorance and misogyny.

1:23:00 Anita's biggest success was making her constant bad takes untouchable. You couldn't even have valid criticism of her. The effect of this was the various games journalism sites and the various conferences inviting her along and praising her because they felt it would somehow give them positive PR because let's face it, corporate entities are generally out of touch with reality.
She purposefully provoked 4chan's troll army and continued to prod them to make sure the attacks kept going so she could play the martyr and that's where the vast majority of her trolls came from. It was her own, purposeful doing.
But as distasteful as she was, she pales in comparison to Zoe Quinn and Breanna Wu. Quinn is an absolute trash human and Wu has something wrong upstairs. But for as horrid as they were, they never reached any sort of relevance, thankfully.
I don't know... Didn't Quinn also speak at the UN?
All I remember from all this debacle, was that a talented musician and composer with light mental health issues, was dragged through the mud by Zoe, so hard, with endless accusations that were never looked at by a court, that the man ended his own life because he could not live with the pressure and shaming going on.

It has been years and I still don't really like Anita Sarkesian. Gamergate was a dumpster fire. I honestly think you could discuss politics within gaming culture in nuanced topics, but this woman initially thrived on bad-faith arguments. Her approach to political issues made other people who were more neutral about some controversies repulsed. However, Gamergate, Anita Sarkisian, and the radicalization of the Trump/Clinton era in politics made the polarization we see today. It sucks because we now have two extremes where people cry about optional gender settings and cleavage being covered by cloth by one pixel before release or some misandrist complaining how men are stifling women's existence while ignoring legitimate systemic issues like the Activision Blizzard harassment case.

"Hi Anita. No-one asked, no-one cares, go away." -Everyone circa a decade ago
She had interesting points, presented the most argumentative ways possible. She is a perfect example of a person who weaponized the "culture war" early on and became a forebearer of what would be happening.
She signal boosted her loudest detractors the ones who easily went too extreme and refused to even consider any nuanced position, because those could show both sides might have good points.
She could have been a voice of change, but instead wanted to profiteer off of the "random hate" she got, and fanned those flames until.... well it was burnt up and burnt out and no one thought about her as people moved on to the next big story (Brianna wu, and gamer gate) and eventually never thought of her again.
It's strange, how once the hate disappated, there was nothing else? She basically thrived solely on how much people disliked her...
she had no points and lied about being a gamer.
She was profiteering from the beginning, mate. She made a few videos about movies and music, and since there was no reaction, she probed the gaming industry and there she found a huge reaction she could milk. And she never talked about music or movies again, because gaming was where the money was at. Suddenly it was like there was nothing wrong in other industries.
She lied about a whole lot of things. Her points were all bogus crap. And yes, she did become a professional victim.
She never did provide proof for anything she said.
Not sure if the video shows this (I'm still watching) but sometimes she did try to provide proof except... The footage showed the opposite of what she's claiming
And neither did the other side. What was the disagreement about?
@@BonShulaactually the other side did show proof, so many men and women actively disproved her claims

Her answer to sexism is more sexism. It’s crazy how wrong she was about bayonetta. Anita, literally couldn’t see how good of a woman protagonist bayonetta actually is.
That is literally an idea that many far-left progressives agree with. "The answer to past discrimination is present discrimination."
Maybe so but she didn't deserve the death threats and other stuff for having a basic opinion about a video game character.
@@okcoolbro3 Never proofed any of those and they got cought faking them.
@@okcoolbro3 I agree. No one does.
She assumed Bayonetta was for the male gaze and it turns out its main target ended up being lesbians. The sexualization was marketed to be wank material but ended up being attached to such a strong woman who owns herself it ended up being empowering.
So many of these videos just focuses on the controversy. Which isn't really that important. Are her videos actually any good? She's been praised in the media for them after all. And the short answer is.... No. They're not good at all. They're full of factual errors, logical fallacies and claims not backed up with any sources. The people who genuinely think her videos are good have almost no knowledge of the games she talks about.
She got a million dollars through crowdfunding for projects she never finished. It was a total scam. She made up the threats and stuff, too. People definitely sent her insults online, tho. But she played everyone.

Anita hatred wasn't ONLY due to the videos that she made, though that certainly did CONTRIBUTE to the over all disdain for Anita. What you SEEM to have glossed over, ignored or missed (by some miracle infernal or divine) was her UNAPOLOGETIC, disenginuity in the arguments that she would make about gamers. It was her lying to so many and about so much, THAT was what made people hate Anita. Much like how, people didn't hate Zoe for getting worked by 5 different guys, it was that she used her sex, or to put it another way, PREYED upon five, PATHETICALLY thirst men, for game reviews that did NOT accurately represent the game she created. THAT is why Anita is hated, because she LIED and INFILTRATED her way, like a thief in the night, into a culture that she had ZERO intention of showing the barest MODICUM of respect for.
Zoe never slept with anybody to get a positive review for her game. That is one of the key issues with Gamergate. It was based on a false premise.
It was a lie told by her ex-boyfriend. He said she slept with Nathan Grayson to get a positive review. Well.. where is the review then? The answer is it doesn't exist because it was a lie to justify a harassment campaign which even if those lies were true, doesn't justify the harassment.
K
In her very first videos, she probed the music and movie industries, but there was no reaction. So then she probed the gaming industry, and there was a huge reaction, so she kept milking that reaction for as long as she could, and never made another video about the music or movie industries ever again, because gaming was where the all money was at.
She apparently needed $160k to fund her youtube series that cost her no money to make. And later on she also needed $30k to set up a discord server for free.
Anyway, then her bf dumped her and it all went downhill from there, because he was the talent and she's neither a strong, independent woman, nor talented.
Ever since then she gets her snout out of the hole, and if she smells controversy or something, she comes out to try and cash in on it.
It's really not a complicated story.
"everything is sexist, everything is homophobic, everything is racist. And you have to point it out all the time"
Well maybe that's why people did not like her. Just look at the foundation of her character, it was not great.

I like a few content creators who get quickly dismissed as 'grifters', despite not ebegging or ladder climbing or blocking out their critics or taking speaking positions, or anything really that would be called grifting. If anything, a lot of them work hard and take a lot of pride in their work and get to deal with low or unsure rewards thanks to TH-cam. And all this because they critique writing in modern films. It seems like such slander over nothing.
Meanwhile, Anita grifted so hard she poisoned every well in the village and made the biggest entertainment industry on the planet step carefully. We're still feeling the effects of her grifting.
Grifting doesn't mean someone disagrees with you while maintaining an audience.
A child that was bullied grew up to be an even bigger bully. Irony.
The most impressive thing was making a video about Anita Sarkisian and her not be the most hated part of the video. It was a gamble but I think it’ll pay off.
I'm beginning to realize that Anita was the feminist equivalent of all those grifters who don't play video games but still go viral complaining about how games are "woke" now
Ironically, people like that wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Anita
The worst thing that followed all this is all the sensitivity consulting agencies that grift game companies
My entire problem with her is that her approach already starts with the conclusion that "video games are sexist towards women" so when conducting her "research" she already goes in with her own preconceived notions and bias, a type of "when you're a hammer everything is a nail" situation and that's not how you do research... also, when presenting her argument, she withdraws to a classic motte and bailey fallacy "i'm not saying video games are sexist they just reflect society" followed by "everything is sexist, everything is homophobic and you have to point everything out" (direct quote). TJ and thunderfoot at the time correctly sniffed through her bullshit while TheGamerFromMars fell right into it while simping uncontrollably to her and sponsoring gambling to his audience, good job!

I guess the one thing is that’s been very consistent about Anita is begging for money & never taking criticizing well.
So true
Anita Sarkeesian, the controversial Mother of Bread Tube.
No thats Destiny. Just Destiny. All the other breadtubers spawned from him or from the people he spawned.
bread tube is not a thing
Ah yes, Anita Sarkesian. The OG online political grifter.
Now the people who hated her are now supporting radical feminists who hate trans people. So much for being anti feminist.
The one noteworthy thing I took away from this is that all the political and toxic coverage and community activism of the 2010s did so much damage to the average person perception of the industry and news that most people I know either only trust thier"real news" source or thru internet personality's online.
My life can never go back to how it was before I found out Logan Paul is in the Gamergate episode of SVU.
Her entire thing is telling lies
if you really want to make a controversial video why don't you try making one about how Anita's grift opened a floodgate of angry activists and griters that have invaded every facet of the gaming industry. from shill journos promoting "the message" to the "diversity and inclusion" hires that have pushed talented and experienced game devs out of jobs and how it has adversely affected gaming as a whole. how multi billion dollar companies like Ubisoft are on the brink of bankruptcy from forced DEI. go make that video if you really want to earn some respect.
P.S. drop the gambling sponsors, it's really not a good look.
_"opened a floodgate of angry activists and griters that have invaded every facet of the gaming industry."_
Every accusation is a confession.

Read the Gamergate Wikipedia article. It's the most disgusting bunch of lies I've ever seen on Wikipedia, or in any piece of journalism.
You probably support russia
Yeah watch Hasan cover it, innuendo studios has an amazing series on it
Watch it

Good point. Fuck this casino shill.

People here defending him for having a gambling sponsor, but would say do that if it was a cigarette brand? It's the same thing. It's something not allowed for kids, and it's highly addictive for those aimed at. TH-cam is 13+ so kids can see this ad. Gambling ruins lifes. Gamer from Mars shows he is willing to promote life ruining addictive gambling for money, as if a channel his size doesn't get other sponsor deals. It's all about the money, isn't it, who cares about morals? Pretty low for a channel that makes videos about internet controversies.
womp womp. youtube isnt here to raise your children. monitor their online usage, stop crying online about it. his last video was literally about a p*rn star, no kids should be watching this channel in the first place.
yes cigarettes are cool and badass, take out your pocket protector and go get some zussy you melvin.
Yes. What a stupid question.
Literally everyone has a price.
Dude that ad actually made me unsubscribe
Don’t promote gambling.
Gonna cry?
@@slamarchy I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
Do* promote gambling.
Anita has to be related to sweet baby inc. With the "We have to scare them into doing this." Line
Also is thair a series about woke games hating white straight men at the same quality of her series?
People call SBI the "successful FF".
Well, I'm not really sure if there are enough games to do that kind of analysis...though looking through the decades it's very easy to find plenty of games that objectify women. Maybe in a few decades we'll have enough 'woke' games to have such an analysis series...and if you feel strongly enough about it, maybe you could be the one who starts it.
@@escher2hands663
And when it comes to examples used by Anita like Lara Croft (pre-CD) and Samus Aran, people love those characters.
No idea if she has connections to them. It wouldn't surprise me if she did, but who knows? However, it is clear that companies like Sweet Baby Inc. have used Feminist Frequency and Anita Sarkeesian as a blueprint and inspiration.
White straight male gamers want to be victims so bad. 💀
Anita was a bully as a child and she grew up to be a bully. Even that scam with Zoe “crash override” (what a joke, someone watched hackers), just outlines that she’s a bully and hangs around with other bullies
gambling sponsor...now I understand the 1.1k 👎👎👎
Like most other people here, the blatant misrepresentations of the games she was critiquing was one of my biggest pet peeves. But the other one is that Anita, as well as a lot of her followers, were just... The most *toxic* kinds of feminists. The amount of times I and other women were accused of having 'internalized misogyny' because we disagreed with Anita was ridiculous- and they were absolutely nasty to women who chose not to be feminists.
Most feminists don’t even know what it is . Being a feminist is simply wanting equal rights and pay as men it has nothing to do with hating men or disliking them being masculine.
Like you can gather from Thomas Sowell books, Activism is a non sense that appeals to people who are damaged and cant do anything constructive. You see the people who cant live a normal life and cannot be trusted even with a wood plank to not move, they are all drawn to activism.
The vision of the "anointed" as the book says it. People who cant grasp reality, they cant know how demented those things are. It unhinged mentality that creates these people.
And they grow because some want to be entertained by their idiotic notions, and others just want the World to burn. One thing is true: They are always a plaything to anyone.
Sadly, there is one too many people too naive to not be caught in their idiocracy net.
Activism is nonsense? You must be a child
someone clearly misunderstanding the argument and putting words in her mouth: "sorry but facts dont care about your feelings"
Gambling is evil
I dunno about that. I used to play Poker with friends and co-workers every Wednesday night and we all had a great time. No evil to be found!
Wanna bet?
No, it's not.

That caveat that she makes over and over that she's not claiming that sexist tropes in media make people sexist, they merely reinforce existing sexism is so weasly. To break that down, that would mean that she doesn't think that it can take somebody who didn't have pre-existing sexism and make you sexist, It means that it only makes the sexism that people already have stronger. If it's capable of doing the second thing, then why isn't it capable of doing the first? When you think about it it's an incredibly weak way to delineate what she's saying from the comparison of claims that violent media makes people violent.
Because media reflects reality in some ways and is different from it in others. 99% of times we are able to discern the part of fiction that looks like reality and the part of fiction that doesn't, but if our view of reality is distorted and we see the same view in fiction, our ideas are validated because we think that's the of fiction that's supposed to look like reality. I believe media *CAN* trigger violent or general undesirable behavior, but only at people who already see these behaviors as normal or somehow validated or morally correct. This is how we get those "Patrick Bateman is actually really cool and I wish I was him" types.
to this day this gets to me all she did was slightly reword it and some people said it was a totally different argument
Well when taking gambling sponsorships tanks his channel at least the Gamer from Mars can get a job at Tim Hortons. He's an absolute expert in glazing.
GFM definitely knew the gambling sponsor wasn't a good look and that it wouldn't sit well with fans AND STILL decided to do it. Huge L bro, do better
Who cares. Sorry you don't understand the concept of self control. Adult men and women don't need their hands held by some bundle of sticks like you LOL

The most hated gambler on the internet
I didn't expect it to be her but then again I guess who I consider to be the most hated woman isn't a TH-camr
Her and alyssa mercante are in the same tier of femcel
She was a grifter who stirred the shit and caused fights just to make money. She is a hustler.
Dissapointing that you took a gmbling sponsorship
I literally believe nothing this woman claims about her story.
It's hard to believe someone who had a long history of lying on her channel.
She will always be obnoxious. I'm a hater
I unironically believe anita sarkesian did more to elect trump than hillarys emails, russia (if thats even true), and trump himself. So many young liberal men were pretty much radicalized from her and gamergate that it still affects the political landscape today.
It's been two years since you played because you left all your games on Mars
The wedding party is legit just sad and hilarious
You were way to soft on her.
i disliked and unsubbed because of gambling promotion.
Yep
Yup, been watching since he was a teen. Gambling sponsorship are to far, anyone should know better not to sell out to that. Sad
The law and order segment got me I did not know Logan Paul was in it. Almost dropped my weights on my chest hearing that.
Some of the hate she got was justified but some of it was taken too far. Issue is she acted like the extreme examples were all or just most of the hate. They were not.
Also 25:31 I recently saw her videos too. They are benign nowadays but back then not at all. That’s because we’be gone so far off the deep end into extremes and the overton window has shifted so much she seems alot more level headed than what we see today.
Also on their own I can see how her detractor’s rebuttals could be seen as strawmen, saying she’s claiming something when she’s not, but that’s if you believe she’s actually correct in her worldview and if you look at the bigger picture (by looking at what she’s said in the past and how she worded things in other parts of those videos you’d see that one could easily interpret her arguments to mean what the detractors are saying

Think she permanently hurt the gaming industry and quality of games being released.
You're joking right? Of course she should be hated. She lied and ruined game studios and franchises. You just wasted 90 minutes of peoples lives and countless hours of yours doing this.
Better hope Uncle Jim does not roast you for the sponsorship GFM... 😂😮😢
hold on a second.......Davis WAS NEVER A MEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST.
He never claimed he was, and never advocated for the rights of men.
Please do better research in the future.
Cite your sources too. Only fair.
@@CNFunnyJon firstly its up to the person making the claim to provide the evidence, Gamer made his claim with none.
But how do I know Davis isn't and never has been an MRA?
1) He openly spoke out against and mocked the MRM on his channel, for the record I'm not sure if his channel still exists.
2) He never ADVOCATED for the rights of men, if you do not ADVOCATE or aren't an ACTIVIST for the rights of men, then you are obviously not an MRA (the "A" standing for ADVOCATE or ACTIVIST), the ADVOCATING or being and ACTIVIST is kind of essential. I mean its right there in the name. You wouldn't claim someone is a truck driver if they have never been near a truck let alone driven one.
Unfortunately there is a long history on non-MRAs or openly anti-MRAs being classed as MRAs by either the ignorant or dishonest.
The ones that make me laugh the most is when the TERFs refer to third wave pro-trans feminists as MRAs, and the third wave pro-trans feminists refer to the TERFs as MRAs.
I guess they can't both be right.
The way many feminists, particularly in the media, use the term MRA is "anyone (almost exclusively male) who disagrees with my beliefs", and thats simply not an accurate description.
It would be like saying the definition of "feminist" is "blue haired lesbians", which although extremely narrow and incorrect is still more accurate than the one most people in the media use for MRA.
but if you still aren't convinced, I'm pretty sure I made at least one video long ago debunking the whole "davis is an MRA" claim, and if you wish I can find it and post a link when I get time.
I'm good at backing up my claims.
