Based gamer enjoys the swag, Anita slut shames
Firstly, who the fuck gave her a press pass? She’s not going to report anything and her audience doesn’t play games. This has been proven time and time again. Her website gets shit views and she produces content at a snails pace. So who is pulling favors to get her worthless ass on the show floor?
Secondly, It’s not attached. It’s clearly a removable insert. Of all the things to lie about…
Thirdly, Anita is literally being the puritan everyone mocks her for being. Showing a little thigh and midriff? so.. UNFORTUNATE. You can practically hear her smug eye rolling and sneering through the tweet. Bunch of sex negative bullshit.
Fourth, isn’t this exactly what she wanted? It’s a non-violent game about dancing and music. Oh wait. That’s right. She’s a stuck up puritan.
It’s an insert she’s presenting as if it’s an integral attachment to the badge. Let’s be BRUTALLY honest here. Anita isn’t looking at this as even a convention goer, she’s looking for everything she can use to attack the convention with. Calling her a puritan is probably very inaccurate, she probably has no problems with these things really. What she IS, as far as I can tell, is an anti-gaming advocate who’s positioned herself to appear as a commentator from inside the fanbase.
Bolded for emphasis on a VERY astute observation.
It’s easy to take Anita’s action at face value and see her as some moronic whiner, but don’t forget that she started doing this “I’ve been a gamer all my life” act and commenting on the currently popular games and events because she’s desperately trying to uphold the facade that she’s a dedicated gamer who is speaking out against the prevalent issues and problems that she can’t stand anymore.
Before her kickstarter scam became a runaway success and she realized she could become a very rich professional victim, her involvement with video games included a tweet about portal and a Bayonetta video that was so poorly informed that she took it down after embarrassing herself.
She wants everyone to think she’s a gamer because it makes her seem more authentic, gives her an excuse to get more victim points over being called a fake gamer girl, like all the other idiots, and it makes her look extra rebellious and brave for taking on the Man-o-centric maleocracy that is video games.. a sort of.. “YEAH. That’s right BOYS. A girl.. who plays VIDEO GAMES!” act, if you catch my drift.
Her over all reaction to pretty much every E3 presentation, especially Bethesda’s, clearly shows what she was there for; to find new things to be outraged about.
DOOM? Too violent. Dishonored 2? Emily isn’t the only character you can play. Fallout 4? The crafting is built around killing people.
The insert she’s bitching about is just another sign that she has no clue about games, because if she did she’s know the character and game pictured and why that outfit isn’t as sexist as she’s claiming. And she tries to blow off this type of criticism with “it’s just people hating me for being a woman”. No, we’re hating on you because you consistently get shit WRONG. I mean for Christ’s sake she praised Lara Croft for “wearing a jacket for the first time outside a DLC” except Lara’s worn a jacket several times in several games already.
As for her in general, I firmly believe she’s little more than a figurehead for McIntosh to put some legitimacy behind his radical mindset. I mean look at the tweets both his and the FemFreq account have done, the identical ones. His? barely any favs and retweets. Hers? hundreds and hundreds.
