Anita attacks Witcher 3 over sexism
You all know who she is and why she's doing it, but this time I found it especially depressing. Yeah I often get depressed at stupidity. And Sarkeesian never disappoints there.
Maybe I'm biased since I am indubitably a male player when I think those kinds of concerns are irrelevant (obvious reasoning here : you're not the one getting yelled "bitch" at : Ciri is. Don't put yourself in your character's place, chances are you're not even close to being anything like her, and it's completely stupid anyway). Hence, what do you people think about it, female players especially ? Were you shocked to hear the words "whore" or "bitch" yelled around in a game with a dark fantasy setting targeted toward knowing adults ?
Writing this I'm realizing I'm playing right in that dumb crazie's hands, she obviously is only spouting bullshit of this magnitude to trigger some kind of reaction and, that way, gain the attention she seems to desperately crave. Still, without thinking about the dumbass, it still raises a relevant question, and a very interesting one with regards given to our contemporary gaming industry. The question being of course : would Sarkeesian seem more interesting if she realized her videos with two fat earth worms crawling inside her nostrils ? No, no, shit, I meant : is a coherent adult dark fantasy setting enough to explain the coherent personalities of it's coherent characters, even at the risk of them coherently shouting coherent sexist terms when they're coherent stereotypes of piss poor illiterate peasant thugs ?
