Anita Sarkeesian, feminist pop culture critic and web blogger, has recently raised enough funds,thanks to all her supporters, for a web series project to explore and present the most common stereotypes of female characters in video games. You can read all about the ongoing project on KickStarter here.
In the midst of gaining supporters and recognition for the proposal of the project, Anita has been faced with harassment and threats by groups that oppose Anita's intentions to speak about this topic, namely video game forums. Anita has chosen to publish examples on her website of some of the harassment she has been struck with, to show that this type of misogynist harassment and hatred does exist and can be manifested in very ugly ways.
Also this dude right here knows what he's talking about :
Preach brother!
