Feminist Frequency AKA Anita Sarkeesian, has finally uploaded the first part of her series on “Tropes vs. Women in Video Games” and it predictably has both the ratings and the comments disabled.
What are you afraid of, Anita? Why can’t people have a discourse about your material? Why can’t people make their opinions towards your content known? I understand that some comments will be abusive in nature—probably most will—but so what?
You are putting forth a particular ideological stance. Your unwillingness to allow that stance to be challenged undermines the legitimacy of your claims because it sends the signal to everyone who lands on your page that your ideas cannot hold up under scrutiny.
I encourage you to enable comments and ratings, Anita, so that both your supporters and your detractors can have their fair say. Trying to censor the dissenting point of view does not make it go away.
That’s just a bit of friendly advice from me to you.
For those wishing to check out Anita’s video, it can be seen here:
Oh, I don’t know. Maybe she’s sick of getting constant death/rape threats and wants to put her work out there without the predictable triggery-as-fuck backlash from misogynistic fuckstains appearing underneath?
Or maybe it’s a simple “fuck you, it’s my work and I do what I want with it.”
And lol @ you for describing youtube comments as “discourse.”
lol. @. you.
Fuck yes, Anita. You keep doing what you do and don’t let the shitheads get you down.
Look at this nast-ass dickweed. Imagine, someone just being, you know, tired of being bothered by someone as inane as the amazing atheist. This fucker needs to defenstrate, and quick.
Apparently us LAYDEEZ need to be open to rape threats or else say nothing at all. Because discourse!!!! or something
“I understand that some comments will be abusive in nature—probably most will—but so what?”

amazingatheist is one of the few bloggers/vloggers that actually are a worse experience to see on my dash than eating my own puke.
Like I know he’ll just continue saying a bunch of shit because it reels in his youtube cash whatever but still disgusted forever by his own approach to “people having a discourse on your material.” Read more about that here.

quotes from the AmazingAtheist, to someone (a rape victim) who disagreed with him on something:
“I will make you a rape victim if you don’t fuck off”
“I think we should give the guy who raped you a medal.”
"I hope you fucking drown in rape semen, you ugly, mean-spirited cow.”
This individual has NO business ever, ever, in telling a feminist how to approach dialogue.
