Dear The Internet, This Is Why You Can't Have Anything Nice: Anita Sarkeesian's project to expose stereotypes in video games attracts a maelstrom of hate. →
Meanwhile, her YouTube video attracted more than 5,000 comments, the majority of them of a, shall we say, unsupportive nature. The c-word got a lot of exercise, as did comments about her personal appearance, and a liberal sprinkling of threats of violence.

Tits or GTFO

LESBIANS: THE GAME is all this bitch wants
Why do you put on make-up, if everything is sexism? … You are a hypocrite fucking slut.
Would be better if she filmed this in the kitchen.
I’ll donate $50 if you make me a sandwich
