I was debating giving Anna Kreider (AKA Wundergeek) her own thread, but her little rant where she uses the Orlando shooting to not only blame white, CIShet male society for creating the shooter, but compares it to the people who tell her to stop sperging and loosen up drove me to give her a thread.
For those of you who don't know, Anna is a minor writer and artist in the tabletop gaming world and feminist critic of video, computer and tabletop games. And has a site called, Go Make Me a Sandwich. While she has some talent when someone else is keeping her under control and her art is passable, but when left on her own, she gets nuts. What separates her from your usual SJW/feminist critics is she LOVES to obsess over the smallest things and doing charts over what the art is like to the point of spergetory.

Here's some other things...
- She seems to not even enjoy the games she rants on. She doesn't want to try Pathfinder or play any more White Wolf stuff outside a LARP she did. I know Anita Sharkesian (sp) isn't a gamer, but Anna seems repulsed and unable to find any real joy out of it.
- Goes into obsessive charts on things like women having enough action poses (she hates it when you use the term, female), how covered-up they are, the alignments of the goddesses from Smite, etc.
- It seems like a lot pisses her off, even things that other feminist critics gloss over: too many of the goddesses in Smite are good; if there's not an true equal number of women in a picture, not enough female fighting-type classes being represented (how dare a number of them being mages or clerics who just "twiddle their thumbs in battle"), if men in real life are leaning forward too much or taking up too much room when sitting (and sees it as an attack against her), the barbarian class is an insult to Native Americans (scroll down) because barbarians are portrayed as savage and natural and those were accusations white people used against Native American to murder them, etc.
- She also seems to have a misandrist streak to her. Pictures of men who are tough, confident and/or macho turn her off. The best way to handle gender issues in gaming? Have an event where you humiliate and ridicule men to the point of making them miserable (maybe even cry).
- Also she's got a unique way of answering comments that don't agree with her or point out stuff that counters her argument. She'll either ignore it and refuse to comment or answer questions or she'll delete your comment and say fuck you.
