She was a lib and had bad takes on some of her videos but no. The hate, the threats of r#pe and deaths threats was not justified. (hexbear.net)

She is a land of contrasts. On the one hand she was a shitty art critic, but on the other hand she made gamers mad.
Then again I haven't actually ever seen any of her videos, so maybe she's not a bad art critic at all and gamers were just mad that their art was treated as art

    The few things I watched from her were very basic feminist takes, nothing particularly offensive or insightful one way or the other.

    I remember watching and thinking, "THIS is what people are getting so worked up about?"

    Definitely wouldn't classify her as "bad" from what I saw

    I haven't seen any of her videos since they first came out and the worst thing I could say would be that some of her points would be like "look at this overly sexualized female character!" smuglord which, sure, might not be the best or most interesting point, but people fuckin lost it

    She did a Kickstarter asking for $6000 that got over $150,000, so people ended up being extra critical.

    Sure.

    Anita Sarkeesian delivered the videos she promised. She made some small technical berdly-actually errors about the treats (such as claiming that killing the fetish nuns in a Hitman game gave points, but while killable, they didn't grant any points) but because she criticized the treats, the treat hogs squealed for vengeance and many of them because MAGAts if they weren't MAGAts already.

    She delivered a complete product. Complete products don't have to be perfect, let alone have to be so perfect that they don't enrage treat hogs, which can be an impossible task anyway. Star Citizen's big spending core devotees were in many case those very same treat hogs but they keep putting money into the grift because they want to, direct quote from some of them "make g*ming great again."

    Star Citizen is still a pre-alpha, a paid pre-alpha that may never be anything else, but the treat hogs don't get criticized by the treat maker so they oink and keep paying.

    Except the people giving her money weren't the ones being "extra critical," and the ones being "extra critical" didn't give her any money, and also the kickstarter got posted on /v/ before it even hit its goal and almost certainly would have gone unnoticed if they had ignored it.
