Sure, Harassment is Bad, but Anita Sarkeesian is an Evil Sith Cunt-Lord Who Must Die!

'Just like in real life, women online often face a disproportionate amount of violent, often sexualized anger from men just for being women, particularly for being women with rational opinions like "women should be treated equally". This harassment has gotten so out of control that the mainstream media is starting to take notice. And just like the bigots of today always do, the HaterGate mob is flooding the comments of videos and articles to say that they do not personally support harassment, but harassment isn't really a problem, and also that bitch had it coming. Almost every video or article about harassment has comments from men attacking one woman in particular; Anita Sarkeesian. She has been threatened with death, driven from her home after her address was published online with a death threat, threatened with rape countless times, with multiple images of violence against her, even a "game" where haters punch her face.
& what horrible thing did Anita do to merit all this hate? 
She made a few YouTube videos on her channel, Feminist Frequency
Yea that's it.
Here are some of the truly terrible things she has said that deserve death:
"Objectification and sexual violence are neither normal or inevitable. We do not have to accept them as some sort of necessary cultural backdrop in our media...the patriarchy has not existed throughout all time...in all cultures...it can be changed...when we see fictional universes challenging or even transcending systemic gender oppression, it subverts the dominant paragdym within our collective consciousness, and helps make a more just society feel possible, tangible, and within reach." - "Women as Background Decoration Part 2: Tropes vs. Women in Video Games"

"We are asking for games to acknowledge that [women] exist and we love games... We've been playing games our whole lives."
"Do you believe that women should have equal rights to men and that we should fight for those rights? - Great, then you're a feminist." - Colbert Report

"Stop using violence against women as a way to further the storyline of a male hero, and start writing us as full and complete human beings. Okay?" - Women in Refrigerators vid (a response to a female comic book writer, Gail Simone's, similar observations).

"[women are] full and complete human beings with our own troubles, interests, and creative endeavors" - Manic Pixie Dream Girls Trope vid

"Instead of believing that [female] sexuality is something to be explored and celebrated, we are repeatedly told that our only form of social power." - "The Evil Demon Seductress

Ooooh, the horror! 

Clearly this vile harpy is LYING, because sexism in media can't possibly exist, right fellas?! It's not as if women are over half the population but roughly 12% of leading roles on film (I mean, unless you count actual data and facts, but that logic shit is for feminazis). clearly the only possible way to respond to a woman saying such terrible things as "I think things are not equal and I would like them to be equal" is to make her fear for her life and talk about how you want to violently rape her, right guys?!

Or you could just, you know, ...not watch her videos. maybe create a response. Maybe even listen to her and treat women like equal humans.
