38. We just want to play our games and

just like our games don't care who plays them we as gamers don't care who plays them.

Anita has some good points but the way she goes about presenting them is the problem. I've watched her videos and observed her Fox News style approach to the subject, meaning she starts with a conclusion and cherry picks and twist facts to fit her conclusion. Like in her examples in the women as window dressing video she shows a scene from Hitman where the player is in a strip club and she shows the player killing and desecrating their bodies while claiming the player isn't punished for their actions. In reality the player is punished for killing civilians and on that part of the game it is easier to avoid that room all together on your way to your target. In Bioshock 2 the female character she claims is nothing but window dressing plays a major role in the story. Ironically it's men who literally become background decoration, because they get captured and encased in concrete and used as statues in the background.
