Anita Sarkeesian on Colbert Report

so Anita sarkeesian has decided to embrace the king of misogynist haters by appearing Kitty as a schoolgirl I might mention on The Colbert Report now let me remind you back in the day there was this poor persecuted woman called Sui Park oh yeah I was gonna say that I feel like it's incredibly patronizing for you to paint these questions this way especially as a white man I don't expect you to be able to understand what people of color are actually saying with regards to cancel Colbert sir yeah being a white man doesn't get doesn't prevent me from being able to think and doesn't prevent me from being able I have have reasons perspectives on things I know but oh well white men definitely feel like they are entitled to talk over me they definitely feel like they're entitled to kind of minimalize my experiences and they definitely feel like they are somehow exempt and so logical compared them women who are painted as emotional right and she said indeed some really stupid things you just called my opinion stupid that's incredibly unproductive and I don't think I'm going to enact the labor of having to explain to you why that's incredibly offensive and patronizing explain I just told you I went enact that labor okay thanks for being with us we kind of like a Zoe Quinn and Anita sarkeesian and this sparked a big controversy where she was essentially told by Stephen Colbert fans to stop being such our whiny little precious snowflake sorry social justice warrior mode engage she was subjected to a sustained campaign of harassment directed exclusively towards women by misogynist this was nothing but a hate campaign run by a boys club to silence uppity women just fighting for their rights like soui Park and people like Anita sarkeesian stood shoulder to shoulder with Tsui Park against the evil oppressors calling this article a must read she even highlights the most important bit in Barbie pink on her tumblr the cyber mob that is still attacking Sarkisian and park is the virtual embodiment of patriarchy's crowd-sourced police so did you get that the audience of Stephen Colbert is the virtue embodiment of the patriarchal crowdsourcing police attacking Tsui Park so why would sarkeesian possibly want to go and talk to such an audience full of misogynistic haters an audience that is described in an article that she calls a must read has been the virtual embodiment of patriarchy's crowdsourcing police for me the doughy ied starstruck Anita says it all about her priorities given the choice between rubbing shoulders with the stars are not making waves or taking on the virtual embodiment of the patriarchal crowdsourcing police her choice was very clear the even bigger irony is the wider parallels like sweet Park says something stupid get to backlash from Comedy Central fans and she gets mocked by The Colbert Report but when I saw the tweet with no context I understood how people were offended the same way I as an irish-american was offended after reading only one line of Jonathan Swift's a modest proposal I mean eat Irish babies hashtag cancel Swift trendex Anita sarkeesian says some really stupid stuff women are being institutionally oppressed all the time in nearly every facet of our lives some really messed up stuff like blaming a school shooting less than 24 hours after the school shooting on the patriarchy and some really really dishonest stuff and surprise surprise she gets a backlash from gamers then she gets invited on The Colbert Report to share her terrible experiences sadly Comedy Central you just dropped the ball on this one maybe you should have done it a little something like this time you think it's ironic that Colbert so harshly trust Isis the mainstream media for not researching stories before putting out all of these stories it was picked up by a small group of Americans who get their information only from Twitter the news media there were online stories in the the USA Today The New Yorker variety Slate The Huffington Post three features on time.com and sev on salon Comedy Central goes on to do their background reading on exactly those same publications that they were happy to criticize because they did all of their research on Twitter there were online stories in the the USA Today The New Yorker variety Slate The Huffington Post three features on time.com and seven on salon in a story about corruption in the gaming media oh if only you could have handled anita sarkeesian like you know if she would say a female Republican you I was curious what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed that two male fantasy games or male fantasy objectification of women games some of them that would be some other entitle yeah give me some names give me a name some names I wrote most of them again with a great appreciation for the press for the media what were Mema cific Lee I'm curious see all of them any of them that have been the work that I do I look at hundreds of examples of video games Radio 3 can you think of three I get been in front of me over all these years I am a fan but I think it's a bigger issue to talk about the industry as a whole and how it perpetuates I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news to these ideas of sexism and misogyny as opposed to just grand theft auto for example
