GTFO: Get the F&#% Out

You need to keep an open mind while watching this documentary. Remember that people are just stating their opinions, and try to value them. I personally did not agree with all of the statements or world views portrayed, but still think it's important to hear them.

Unfortunately it is very easy as a guy and especially if you are a gamer to become infuriated by some of the arguments (or the mere sight of Anita Sarkeesian). But if you are able to get past that you might actually discover that there are many valid points being made.

I love gaming and video games and I think everyone should be able to enjoy them, man or woman. I would hate to be told I cannot do the thing I love because of my gender. That is why I think people should give this film a chance. Perhaps next time you meet a female gamer in lobby or forum you will think twice before casually making a sexist joke or comment.

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.

On a technical level, this film is awful. The video and audio quality are absolutely horrendous. This is absolutely unacceptable for any film of any budget. So, why 4 stars then instead of 1 star? 2 for the actual content and another 2 for the editing, which I thought was decent. The animations were cute. If this movie were more well-presented I'd rate it higher, but I just can't look past the technical issues, I'm sorry. Avoid, you can find better videos on this topic on YouTube.

I found this movie very confusing.

At first we're told that the video game industry doesn't cater to women but later we're told that 50% of gamers ARE women. These statements can't both be true and the fact that such a glaring plot hole made it out of the writer's room really took me out of the movie.

I also found the central performances lacking. Leigh Alexander appeared to be slurring her words and Anita Sarkeesian's acting (if you can call it that) was worse than Bart Baggett's.

If you want see a more realistic depiction of what it's like to be a woman in gaming, I'd recommend the Law & Order SVU episode, "Intimidation Game". They absolutely nailed it.

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
