As odd as this may sound, appearing in universities and various unrelated political centers is a pretty damning sign of growing irrelevancy.
Basically, when something gets popular within a certain medium, it'll get [I]really[/I] popular really fast and gain a lot of traction before people who are uninterested in that medium even hear about it. By the time a personality has reached the peak of their popularity and have actually gained the attention of other spheres of interests, their relevancy has already started to decline and will only decline further with each following intervention in unrelated environment such as the UN or Silicon Valley.
The point of the "peak" of popularity is that it goes downhill from that point, so once you start getting traction in other spheres, unless you play your cards right and manage a solid conversion (which she's fucked up quite a lot) then you're going to just accelerate the tendency.
Moreover, her presence at the UN and other political spheres isn't really meaningful to her career. She's basically being used as a tool by old politicians as a way to seemingly modernize their agenda by mobilizing "new" figures about "new" trends, even though the debate is already outdated and growing older by the day.

The term "white knighting" seems to actually apply here. It seems like you have this "women need to be protected" mindset. You have no problem with the aspect of Japanese culture that sexualizes the hell out of men for women/gays but lose your mind and declare patriarchy whenever the exact same sexualizing happens to women.
Japans culture in this regard is pretty much the ideal. Where both sexes are free to sexualize eachother and be sexualized. Its true equality without repressing anybody.

Not really off topic considering that one of Anitas ideas is that any sexualization of women is sexism.
[QUOTE=Killuah;49007279]Yeah that's the whole point.
Of course using big anime boobies and little girls in skimpy clothing to sell a game to perpetually horny teenage boys is sexism.
Just like the Bikini issue of Sports Illustrated.

I wouldn't be surprised if Anita was actually a woman who was frozen in time and was born in the Elizabethan era where woman were considered sluts merely for showing a little bit of ankle

[QUOTE=Eonart;49011260]Funny enough in that recent twitch stream he did of Asscreed Syndicate, she said that a woman swaying her hips when she walks in the game was sexist.

is it even physically possible for a woman to not walk like a woman without purposely walking like a man?

Milkandcooki literally uses tumblr as his source of information and I caught him with his pants down on that. He got banned the same day too. Good riddance. Pretty sure he got salty over his ban and went on a shitposting spree like Maxofstds

It's hard to see something when you ignore all criticism.
[QUOTE=For No Reason;49012021]So has anita herself seen this yet?[/QUOTE]
Presumably this video is the reason Anita started streaming on twitch.
I have no doubt she, macintosh and/or her employees/supporters spend large amounts of time trawling through videos and comment sections looking for any form of criticism that they can use as evidence of """"'harassment'""""", they probably saw the bit of the video where Margaret suggests that she stream stuff and that's where they got the idea. They need to keep up an online presence otherwise people will forget about them and stop donating.
So yes, they've probably seen the video but they won't respond to it or acknowledge it exists because Margaret is a woman and they have to pretend that all of the people criticizing them are fat virgin neckbeard men in order to keep up the act. If they acknowledged that this wasn't the case, the whole enterprise would come crumbling apart.

It's funny how two of those links are from the same source (Wired).
Also "forgive any transgressions"? For fucks sake dude, she's made 60K on kickstarter (and well over triple that last year alone) and in nearly 3 years she isn't even CLOSE to completing her Tropes vs women kickstarter. As stated in the video, the pre TVWIG videos were not only more numerous, [U]BUT WERE LONGER TOO[/U]. The new series has barely passed the half an hour mark despite it having the same overall production value.
Her fanbase has paid hundereds of thousands of dollars for content that is not only taking an obscene amount of time to appear, but is also SHORTER than the videos that were uploaded more frequently.
Tell me how that is acceptible.
Just as a final note, someone who inoculates themselves from caring about attacks don't usually tweet about it being harassment nearly 24/7.
