This is unbelievable. For those unfamiliar, this is Anita Sarkeesian, who runs a great channel on youtube called FeministFrequency. Recently she went on Kickstarter in the hopes of starting a project based on feminism and video games. She received a slew of negative criticism, including threats. The latest response? This game, in which players are asked to attack her. Yes, I can see that it’s been taken down. I think it’s a perfect example of misogyny in our culture though, that someone thought this was an acceptable response in the first place.
