She claimed to be against sexism in video games, then she acted as apologist for a religion that condones the same
In a new video titled “Manufacturing a Muslim Menace,” Sarkeesian discussed the topic of Muslim representation in the media, which she condemned as “deeply harmful stereotypical representations” that “contribute directly to Islamophobia in our culture.”Yes, now isn't that peculiar? From what I know, she's said to be of Armenian descent, and yet she excuses the very Religion of Peace that brought about the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians during WW1? What is she, another George Soros? I'm absolutely disgusted. What next, is she going to defend the Satmar and Neturei Karta extremists?
Highlighting Arab villains in old movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Back to the Future, and equating them to more modern depictions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the TV series Homeland, Sarkeesian argues that any and all negative depictions of Arabs and Muslims as villains essentially contributes to the public’s negative perception of Middle Easterners.
Sarkeesian omits good or noble characters who contradict her narrative, going so far as to describe the titular character in in Disney’s Aladdin as more like a “tanned American surfer dude” while Jafar looks like a stereotypical Arab. Never mind the fact that almost every one of Disney’s villains is similarly caricatured regardless of ethnicity. She neglects to mention the large cast of good Middle Eastern characters in Homeland, or Indiana Jones’ Sallah.
[...] Sarkeesian conveniently ignores the fact that the Ottoman Empire was the world’s largest imperial power over the preceding centuries, laying siege to Europe until its decline in the mid-19th century. Likewise, the Arab world’s perception of Europe was equally unfavorable, seeing it as a realm of degradation and degeneracy—it’s a view that exists to this day throughout the East.
Of recent, she's even caused some anguish because she made defamatory comments against one of her dissenters at a video convention, and even posted a horrific fanfiction story on her own blog. It sounds like she's really going around the bend, and as far as I'm concerned, she's somebody I want nothing to do with. A total hypocrite she's being, making a farce out of her previous video commentaries, which were largely proven factually inaccurate by various other people, and proving to be an embarrassment for all involved.
