Who she is as person doesn't concern me, all I know is that I think her work sucks.
Yes, you are you, which is why I didn't say that you shitted on her personality. I just pointed out that if you want to sound playful, it doesn't really work if your post sounds just like any other hate-post.
In what context you think my post is fitting based on other's, doesn't concern me.

I know what I intended, I know tone doesn't exactly translate over the internet, but hey, whatever.

Feminism is a movement so women can be equal to men. This is a movement to eliminate men and everything associated with men. Why do people give her the time of day?

Anita always reminds me of Total Biscuit.

Starts off with a few valid points, but quickly inundates them with a deluge of lies, hyperbole, rhetoric, and other such bullshit until the original points are so twisted they make absolutely no sense at all. Then, these "nonsense" points are repeated endlessly, often reinforced with self-propagating circular logic, until those watching become so confused and so muddled they feel they have to agree lest they look foolish or ignorant.

Frankly? I can't stand either of them; even when they occasionally bring up genuine issues with the industry. They're both far more detrimental to the gaming community they they are beneficial.

Worse still, in regards to Anita specifically, if anyone dares criticize her or her presented content, that person is immediately painted as a misogynistic asshole who either hates women or is too "afraid" to admit that there is a problem within the industry.

But you know what? I can freely point out that Anita is a loon AND that there is a real problem with the way female characters are often portrayed in many of the big-budget, mainstream titles seen in the gaming industry today.

Agreeing with her and seeing her as a decent human being don't have to go hand-in-hand.

So, shes an extremist because she wants to see the norm of women in games be reversed.
Two things.
1. I started my last post with this.

Perhaps fundamentalist would be a better term, without the religious aspect of course.
2. I'm not sure exactly what "the norm of women in games" means. I can only assume it means their presentation relative to that of male characters. And if she wants that reversed, instead of equalised, then she's an extremist in every sense of the word, rather than just one.

I think it's important to note, there's no way of telling what her overarching goal actually is.

Well fuck, I guess I'm an extremist also since I'm tired of constantly seeing kidnapped/murdered wife/daughter as the main motivation for the male main character.
Technically, according to at least one of the definitions I gave, yeah.
