Anita Sarkeesian to speak at the Nordic Game 2017 event - And I thought she's done with video games?

So this is happening today. The Nordic Game 2017 event is happening on the 17th, 18th, and 19th of May 2017. And they're going to let Anita $arkeesian spew more bullshit. Here's the highlight about her:

“Anita Sarkeesian, Executive Director, Feminist Frequency “Diversity is not a Checklist”. Only a few years ago, white men were the undisputed rulers of the video game realm. Female characters were often plot devices rather than actual characters. While there has been some progress in the industry, the effects and reach of that progress should not be overstated. At times it can feel like a case of “one step forward, two steps back”. In this talk, Anita Sarkeesian will explore some of the recent growth and evolution in the field, while discussing ways in which video games and video game culture resist change.” – Nordic Game 2017

My good guesses is that she's going to talk about the same old anti-gaming crap like she did in Feminist Frequency and talk about "everything is sexist and misogyny" and "GamerGate is on the loose" and "feed me money" and blah blah blah.

Sweden is a place where people are afraid to report crimes, including sexual assaults, for fear that they will be called racist. Ignoring an obvious scam is par for the course.

Here's an update on interviewing her as she complains about games (as usual) that "Need to tell better stories that don't oversimplify oppression" while complaining about Kratos from God of War and Cindy from Final Fantasy XV.

Just gonna throw this out here... I want to thank Anita for the whole "cultural shift" we've seen in video games. Gone is the early 00's typical gruff white jarhead trope, replacing it with the no-nonsense, borderline-tsundere brunette trope, typically clad in some variation of leather jumpsuit and/or form fitting exercise garb.

We are truly expanding our horizons.

I can accept a half-cyborg half-ninja orphaned after the bad guys killed his entire bloodline to avoid the curse of the alien shapeshifting invaders from destroying their plans for world domination, but I can NOT accept that half-cyborg half-ninja being a woman.

Looks like it's time to be a female Nigerian princess trying to bring feminist games to Africa. Time to start the email machines and kickstarter...
