GTFO: Get the F&#% Out

The sole intent of this movie was to demonize. And it does a relatively good job at that. It paints the attackers (Gamers) as not humans with rational thoughts and feelings. But as nothing but hate mongers, in order to assassinate that identity and to shame any viewer who is a gamer to feel bad. It's a giant mess of rich kids fishing for sympathy from online hordes. It's Britney Spears crying about her jet being silver. instead of platinum. It's almost impossible to feel bad for the victims. They are literally complaining about smack talk in an online game where competitive environments are thriving. You know that guy that said "I got you sucka'" on Call duty. Apparently he was sexually harassing you and you didn't even know it. Online gaming is not your hugbox, stop pretending online gaming is preschool

While I can empathize with the producers, to me it came across as angry and an outright attack on men. It does very much bother me that women are depicted as sex objects, especially underage ones in the JRPGs that I love. The numbers are fudged IMO. I have been very active in the gaming community for almost 40 years, and I am always on the lookout for female gamers. Sadly, I have rarely found this demographic. There is a massive amount of different genres to attract anyone. So this narrative seems very unresearched and self serving. Not objective, just angry.

I just can't even start with this...

Yes I know that the Internet can lead to harassment, but how is it at this level?!? Based off of ONE SINGLE EVENT, we get a film that claims to be about how women and video games equal sexual harassment, but fails horribly. The group video evidence had a women majority, WOMEN MAJORITY. It also tries to show that all male gamers are sinful little devils that hate women, which by the way is COMPLETELY BIAS. My recommendation is to just skip this film, and play games with your girlfriend. Sadly I wanted to give it a 0/10, but IMDb can only go to 1/10, so it will stay there.

The one star reviews are written by the same misogynistic, small minded, sexually frustrated males that tormented some of the women covered in this documentary. Absolutely shameful how uneducated men will go out of their way to abuse and silence the voices of intelligent women.

Watch this movie, share it, this story needs to be told from a woman's perspective, not from that of a sexually frustrated passive aggressive oedipal male.

Anita Sarkeesian specifically has generated some of the most insightful, well researched and well timed criticism of modern culture, specifically into how video game culture denigrates women in their portrayal but also how the 'Gamer' community can subject women to a hideous level of abuse. The more this story gets told, the more something will be done to rectify this deplorable dynamic. One can only hope.

It's a documentary that demonizes gamers and is written with little to no knowledge of the medium. Very little is factual and it goes out of it's way to paint those who oppose said ideas as awful human beings. Not to mention it pretends to take offense for those who aren't offended. Steer clear at all costs
