Feminism because why not make a thread for it?

So if it hasn't been proven true, then you're only conjecturing that she did something. You've been talking like it was a proven thing, though, which is bizarre.

Occam's Razor applies to the simplest explanation. A conspiracy is not simple. People write hateful thinks about Anita Sarkeesian all the time, so I don't see why it is farfetched that someone could have done so at an 'opportune' time.

That's the thing, the timing of the 4chan post, along with her own actions, are too perfect for mere coincidence to be the simplest answer.

And it's not a conspiracy, it's marketing.

She had reason, means, and opportunity a plenty.

Looks like two people is required for a conspiracy; but you are still saying that Sarkeesian enacted a convoluted plot. The only evidence you've presented for this is that she could have - and therefore must have.

This is like saying a person who walked down an alleyway and got raped should have known how rapey alleyways are, and more to the point they had reason means and opportunity to get a huge civil payout from a rapist so it all fits the profile of an intentionally goaded action

Or how about that Levar Burton paid off the only person who wrote an awful article about his revival of Reading Rainbow - because he knew that no one would say anything bad about it, and the only way to net more profit was to stir up anger instead of just nostalgia.

This is not the only time that someone has written something bad about a woman speaking her mind, or that a group of people have harassed a woman who was speaking her mind. Which is why it is bizarre that Darqcyde's only conclusion is: She must have engineered the whole thing!

are we going to retroactively decide that she purposefully got her own videos taken off youtube to feed her feminist conspiracy or

by a female writer yet. didin't hugh hefner's daughter take over publisher duties a while back? whatever, nice to see them recognize that women are not just ornaments.

and her "wait just a goddamn minute" technique really needs to be publicized.

I will respond to the above stuff, but I don't want to rush and half-ass it, so it's going to have to wait for the week end.

Can we please NOT just link to ranty Youtube videos as a form of argumentation? If I can't read it I'm not going to pay attention to it.
