The female character in the SVU episode tonight was an amalgamation of Anita and the other women harassed by gamergate, but I guess you got to have a little sense to catch onto that. :/
Anita is a scam artist.I’m a gamer sweetie lemme lay it down for you.First Video Dinosaur planet was never Crystal’s game, it was her and her brother Sabre. The video Anita used was severely altered to never show Sabre. Because if she did her fans might notice that Sabre looked an awful lot like Star Fox model at the time. And so did Nintendo which resulted in them changing the game.She whined about Bayonetta being for the male gaze. Then when presented with the fact it was made by a woman for her own power fantasy it was Nope nope nope.She’s been proven to steal the footage she uses. Meaning highly likely she’s never played them and takes her cherry picking to what footage she does view. This is evident in even that god awful ABC’s target video. In which Anita claims the woman must be killed in order to make the protagonist a hero for getting the killer. Despite the video even showing the HUD in bright red letters with INTERVENE. She purposely created the npc’s death to create her argument.As such Anita was never a gamergate target she was thrown in by media and herself.Her so called forced to cancel talk at Utah is false. The police of the area and the FBI stated it was a non threat and she could peacefully talk. She elected to cancel and as perpetrated this false I WAS FORCED TOO since. As is Brianna Wu who was even proven to of never been forced from her home I should know I live in the same area as her. She went to Boston Comic Con and even tweeted where she was.Her game is atrocious and uses the latest engine despite looking like something from ps1. Her game doesn’t follow Anita’s so called rules for gaming and are defined as I believe Fighting fuck toys. Nor does her story go anywhere. It’s a poorly made copy of Mass Effect even ripping outfits from characters she insults.If you’re going to try and pull SENSE into it. Try to ensure I don’t know more about the situation than you.
Additional information/sources:
Anita Sarkeesian:
- Anita admitting to not even being a gamer (skip to about 12 minutes in)
- Anita stole footage from other Youtubers.
- Anita stole someone’s artwork without permission.
- Anita really doesn’t look up anything about any of the games she talks about.
- Anita frequently gets things completely wrong—a pretty good sign that she doesn’t actually play the games herself. She doesn’t even get the PLOT of the fucking games right! (two links here)
- Anita admitted to knowing about 4chan prior to her kickstarter, which she had initially denied.
- The alleged “death threats” she received were more than likely sent to her by her. After all, it’s pretty amazing that she just happened to be on this guy’s page literally seconds after he made these posts, especially when that account was only created in order to MAKE said posts. Plus, why was she logged out at the time of screencapping them? These are also the posts she blamed the majority of her fear on. Take note of the timestamps on the images themselves. (two links here)
- Have an entire goddamn page of Sarkeesian being a total fraud.
Brianna Wu:
- Has been caught multiple times now sending “harassment” to herself, or just plain faking it. She also lied about leaving her house over the “threats”. (six links total here)
- She had her husband beg people on Facebook to get Steam accounts in order to upvote Revolution 60.
- She accuses anyone that interviews her that doesn’t immediately take her side of trying to “humiliate” her (here she is screaming about her interview on the David Pakman show being a “hit piece”). For added fun, here she is on Huffpost Live getting completely destroyed by the mod of 8chan.
- She promoted another interview as “unbiased”, despite the fact that the interviewer donated to fund her ugly game. (four links here)
- Here’s Wu stating that “Gays see [women] as competition for the penis. When I watch drag queens, I can’t help but be insulted.”
- Here’s an image drawn by Wu of two women in lingerie cowering on a floor, about to be sexually assaulted by a robot.
- Here’s another image drawn by Wu that’s literally exploding with sexual objectification of women.
- Wu is currently screaming that all negative feedback regarding Revolution 60 is because of “misogyny”, and not because the game looks like a flaming sack of dog shit, and performs even WORSE.
Zoe Quinn:
- Used the death of Robin Williams to draw attention to her game’s release.
- Stole donation money intended to go to iFred. (<four links there) This is made all the more amusing by the fact that afterwards, 4chan started a donation drive for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, and managed to reach %278 percent of their original goal in a matter of HOURS.
- Faked being doxxed/hacked. (<two links here) Hmm…I’m sensing a pattern with these women…
- Sabotaged the Fine Young Capitalists’ “Game Jam” in order to eliminate competition for her own project, Rebel Jam (see link below). Hell, just read everything in that link. Despite the source, you can find screencaps of Quinn’s other shenanigans here.
What have other anti-GGs done?
- Circulated child pornography onto 8chan (because exploiting children is totally an okay thing to do, though perhaps not the smartest tactic against people known to cooperate with and assist the FBI in taking down anyone posting such content).
- Sent in false police reports, resulting the SWAT teams being dispatched to at least two different houses under false pretenses. These same two people were also sent items such as a dirty syringe, and a knife with a note telling them to kill themselves.
- Doxxed at least 23 people, including published equity feminist Christina Hoff Sommers. These people do NOT care about women. If they did, they wouldn’t be so eager to hack into their personal accounts, sexually harass them, deny their existence when they disagree with them, and hacking into and deleting a project by a feminist group intended to benefit women in gaming simply because they found out that 4chan had donated a substantial amount to it (which, by the way, was orchestrated by Zoe Quinn).
- In fact, ABC actively silenced women by deleting comments left by women on their recent GamerGate video (you know…the one with over 29 times as many dislikes as likes). (two links here)
- Pirated the game Claire, and sent death threats to the developers, as well as calling the female developers on the team “whores”.
- Sending false DMCA flags against any site posting evidence that incriminates them (so feel free to save/archive this post!).
And meanwhile, these people ignore the facts regarding representation of women in games.
Oh, but clearly…it’s those “cishet white MALES!” (and not, you know…women and minorities) that are “harassing” these “poor, innocent” women, and totally not that these women stand to profit dramatically from creating a problem where one doesn’t exist.
I eagerly await any incoming accusations of me being male, despite being exactly as old as Anita, and having been playing games since I could hold the controller to our Magnavox Odyssey.
Female Portrayals in Video Games
Recently Overwatch released a new character, citing complaintsof a lack of ‘body diversity’. Now, Idon’t like the character but that’s for a variety of reasons and that’ll becoming at a later date. No, what really botheredme was this argument and the implications for a common trend in representation of women in video games.
To add some context, I’m a gay woman and I want to be a game dev. I’ve loved video games and been a gamer for close to 15 years. And I really feel there are pressing issues with the arguments for ‘representation of women in video games’. I’ve made similar rants about this general topic before and you can find my most successful one here.
If you’re concerned with women, body types, representation, etc, I suggest you give me a fair shake and read all the way to the end. More under the break.
Gaahhh my ship feels! GaMako FTW!
Updated pictures of my room newest addition is Howl and sophie
Bora got a little makeover. I hope his boyfriend doesn’t object to the new piercings and tattoos….
Monster Maker Looks Fangtastic!
…but I thought it used 3-d printing to add fins and cool stuff to the doll, not just more ugly decals… :/
Huh, so it’s a really fancy pen plotter… Kinda looks like the ink would need to be gone over with paint or something.
That could be useful. Laying the foundation is usually the hardest part for me. I’d see myself buying something like that. Just not for what they’re probably going to ask for it.
that’s AMAZING.
HOLY SHIT.
Can you imagine being a 10 year old kid and getting something like this? I hope it’s not astronomical in cost. I want kids to be able to use this.
This is a looooooooooooooooong WIP. A Pan’s Labyrinth Pan minimee. He belongs to Catcara and he’s got all sorts of hybrid parts going on from Soom and Dollzone. The plan is to make him an aged sort of dying fairy tale, but he’s very much the beginning of a very experimental paint job. Step 1 was basically pouring watercolor paint over the entire doll…. we’ll see where I can take him from there. :)
Of course it would be great if this summer humidity would go away.

last one,… I swear on my future children, I’m not doing any fanart at least for a week.
My sister asked if the events of “The Labyrinth” are meant to be Sarah dreaming, or are they real? Although my primary reaction was that she shouldn’t put that much thought into any children’s movie (or any instance of David Bowie in tight pants), I’d like to take this opportunity to put so much thought into this children’s movie, that it’ll blow your mind.
So why is David Bowie kidnapping a child from an underage Jennifer Connelley?
In a time long long ago a sorcerer named Jareth fell in love with a girl named Sarah. Sarah’s father and step-mother would not let her marry Jareth because they wanted her to keep her, as a servant, to care for their other child. In a fit of rage Jareth kidnapped this other child and spirited it away to the fairy world. In this new world Jareth built a palace for his Sarah. He turned the spoiled child into a goblin, and kept it to be a servant.
Many stories of the fairy world tell us that time moves differently there than in our world (Rip Van Winkle for one). In the time it took for Jareth to build his kingdom, which he may have thought was little more than a few years, Sarah grew old and died.
Overcome by grief and addled by a lifetime spent in a strange world filled with monsters, Jareth goes mad. He refuses to believe that he has lost his love. He searches the mortal world from his castle, looking for her.
Sarah is Hebrew name. So, it is common, and has been in use for thousands and thousands of years. It does not take long (for him) to find a dark haired girl named Sarah, who has a younger sibling, and who feels that she is treated unfairly by her step mother. In a fit of rage he kidnaps this other child and spirits it away to the fairy world. Perhaps this new Sarah dies in the quest to find the child, perhaps she wins her sibling back and flees.
Jareth searches the mortal world from his from his castle, looking for her. It does not take long to find a dark haired girl named Sarah…
This is how Jareth becomes the goblin king. Every goblin in the goblin city is a child Jareth has stolen, who was not recovered by a Sarah. (he told the current Sarah that Toby would become a goblin if she did not find him in time)
This is why he builds the maze. The magic bog, the junk yard of useless treasures, all tricks to slow Sarah down. Because if he can only have his Sarah for the time it takes for her to regain the stolen child, he will make it take as long as possible, keep her as long as possible.
This is why there exists in our world a book containing the story. Because it has happened before. So many times. At some point some lucky Sarah must have returned to our world to tell the story.
This is why when the most recent Sarah first meets Hoggle at the start of the labyrinth, and introduces herself; “I’m Sarah”, Hoggle responds “That’s what I figured.”
Because of course she’s Sarah.
They were all Sarah.
{Bunny Set 1/2} ~ Mum’s birthday present arrived today, so I made her some slippers, a hairband, and fixed up her dress.
I think these pictures may have just sold me on one!
This makes me so happy and I don’t know why.
Think I'd need prints of this for my little boy!
