She never accused anyone of "Building misogynistic rape/murder simulators."

I ask for clarification, but get ignored and then insulted instead.

Can't explain that.

Didn't someone threaten to kill Duppin with an F-14 jet?

Yeah, Utnayan threatened him with a F-14 strike and some tank ground forces I believe. Duppin reported it and went to the mod thread to complain. Dude was seriously worried.

OK, found it:

Doc: "lol she literally accuses developers of specifically designing their games for players to act out misogynistic sexual control fantasies."

I disagree with your use of "specifically", as if that was the primary function of the game, but still... where's the malicious intent? Who's getting hurt?

Who are you to say that it's "evil" for developers to tap into a desire that gamers have? Don't be so judgmental, man. It's not like we haven't had every violent power fantasy imaginable fed into since video games' infancy. It's business. Gamers vocally and in large groups express joy at killing hookers, developers accommodate them. No value judgment there.

Doc: "Anita is the one suggesting that it's malicious intent, not me. Anita is the one making a judgement. I can see what you're doing and it's not clever. "

She really isn't. That's on you.

Believing something is harmful =/= Accusation of malicious intent

Sarkeesian believes that the way women are often portrayed in video games contributes to an environment where sexist attitudes have a better chance of propagating. That is in no way the same thing as saying the developers are misogynist or they are intentionally trying to spread misogynistic attitudes through their games.

I enjoy killing hookers in video games because I can't do it in real life, at least without getting in trouble.

Tee-hee! Nothing like a good chuckle, eh chums?

Now, are we done distracting from the fact that

Believing something is harmful =/= Accusation of malicious intent?
