I like the part where she brings up points, but doesn't provide any arguments. This is a VERY common tactic for bullshit artists who want to sound like they know what they are talking about. They bring up a subject, but don't actually elaborate or explain how they feel or even explain why its good/bad.

I don't see how exposing misogynist tropes, then elaborating on them; is not elaborating on them.

I''m going to explain things simple to make it easy, so sorry if I sound like I'm demeaning you, I don't mean it. Lets say I didn't like the way men were represented in videogames. If I said "Majority of men in videogames are large hunks of meat with potty mouths and extremely defined bums." ... well, That would be a blank statement. I'm stating something, but I'm not actually stating why it should be considered wrong. In the very few times Anita DOES try and elaborate, she just simply doesn't make sense. Would you try and escort your love interest because you want to protect her? I would NEVER let my own girlfriend walk around at night unless I was with her to watch out for her. (This is in reference to the game ICO, a cute game with Anita claims is "the most sexist game I ever played..." She simply has NO idea what she is talking about, or doesn't even know what she wants herself.

It sounds more like you are trying to convince yourself some stuff, please try again when you can write something more persuasive. Facts are helpful.

She's elaborated plenty throughout her series so far. Maybe you weren't listening.

Or maybe you are just blinded by white liberal guilt. I, along with thousands of others, game journalists included, see through her bullshit.

Thousands of others who've said completely vacuous bullshit in an attempt to discredit her. By the way, you probably don't want to rely on the authority of game journalists - they are, for the most part, just average gamers, completely without insight.
