I usually agree with Anita says except for what she thought about Mad Max Fury Road where she was reaching about her criticisms about it. Because a movie set in the post apocalyptic raider filled wasteland is going to be violent no matter what you do.

Or was that the other guy who was using her account as a shield to say his dumb opinions.

Fury Road wasn't even that violent. I didn't understand its R-Rating, I guess one specific death near the end is what pushed it into its R rating. But like, people fell out of fast moving vehicles and survived with no injuries.

All of the Mad Max and anti-violence stuff is direct quotes from McIntosh's twitter. So I'm going to blame him. Though I have a pre-existing bias of thinking Anita's videos are mostly right but boring, while thinking that McIntosh is human garbage who should be forced to live in a poor house.

Nudity pretty much always tips things into R-rating, with the odd exception. The MPAA is terrible.

Remember how everything "gamergaters" complained about was trivial and ridiculous?

Remember how for gamergate fellow-travelers, a litany has been established of how women in gaming are crazy, and not them? Talking about Brianna Wu when you ought to be talking about yourselves. A shame.

I mean, if you don't think do that's valid, but it was kinda bad for a lot of people so maybe we should be sensitive to that? I'm not saying the art shouldn't exist, or have a context to be used in, but I'm not sure the variant cover was the right one.

IIRC The Killing Joke wasn't originally intended as a canon thing, it was just meant to be a one-shot but the fanbase latched onto and Oracle grew out of that.

It's well established that gamers are crazy. How anyone in a social media brawl can wind up looking worse than them is perplexing.

DC rejected the first draft of the variant cover for not being rapey enough, and then immediately and publicly caved to criticism after the reveal

If that doesn't sound like an obvious publicity stunt then I have a bridge to sell you. Be honest, how many of you knew there was a batgirl reboot before the controversy?
