Literally, you should take to the streets and hand out those pamphlets instead of arguing here in RnF if you are a true crusader. Your average person just isn't going to think this is the big issue you make it out to be.

Right, because the average person isn't a gamer that would be inclined to care about these issues either way. This is why third wave feminism doesn't exclusively focus on video games. What better an avenue to discuss these issues than a forum that saw absolutely nothing wrong with leeching web traffic off illegally obtained nudes of Jennifer Lawrence? I prefer to attack the problem where the problem actually exists. If I'm overwhelmingly the vocal minority, that's a clear indication I'm speaking in the right place.

I don't agree that anyone should be receiving death threats, so don't think I advocate for that, but I've seen a couple of the videos on this thing and they absolutely have the wrong women as the face of their campaign if they want to gain any real traction.

I disagree, but I can see where this becomes an issue and, believe it or not, I can see why people like Kagatob can't stand Anita Sarkeesian. I don't follow that train of thought - Anita Sarkeesian has the most accurate viewpoint on this issue, even if she occasionally errs on the side of pedantry. Anita Sarkeesian calling a spade a spade, or even being nauseatingly pedantic - which I don't think she is - does not and absolutely should not rationalize ending her speech on
video games in a bloodbath.
