She was probably hot to the same kind of guy that dwells on the worst parts of the internet all day. She was attainable. Which made her really hot.

Then they found out that she cheats on bfs, and does it for her own gain and suddenly all of their insecurity and loathing exploded onto the web.

Misdirected anger. thats my theory

Somethin I want to question, when did ames become a 'boys club' ?

Everyone keeps saying it, but I don't know if I believe it. But I've been gaming since arcades and the atari. I was born into this world with one sister, and then later another in the late 80s early 90s. I don't remember games being a boys club. Sure, I didn't know a bunch of girls at school that played games. But I didn't know a bunch of girls that were nerds either. But a lot of families couldn't afford consoles anyway, Or many good games were not available out in the sticks. That wasn't so much an issue with my family, so we all played games. We went to the extra trouble to find things like Lunar on the sega cd, or Kings Quest on the computer. My sisters never did play doom or madden. But I didn't play madden either. And I never thought they didn't play doom because they were girls. I thought they didn't play them because they, on a personal level, sucked at doom.

Online's never been particularly girl-friendly outside of WoW.

#notyourshield is #actuallytheirshield, it's all very silly.

Ir's not even a theory. I think it's 100% true.

Wait, what? Who the hell wants the easily attainable?

edit: I get it from a quick fix standpoint, but that's usually the opposite of hot and certainly would be in her case.

Polygon's editor did a good job of debunking the fraudulent claim that this is about ethics. It's about baby boys who only like their viewpoint represented.

And baby girls who like the same...

Not really, because this is the reaction to women who have been putting forward different views. I never heard of Anita Sarkeesian demanding other viewpoints be excluded.
