Anita Sarkeesian (that’s the girl’s name) has quickly become the textbook example of everything that’s wrong about “internet feminism”.

For instance, one of her greatest complaints is that most female characters in video games are nothing more than damsels in distress, capable of doing nothing but crying in hope that a manly man will come and save them. In the game Donkey Kong, all Pauline ever does is to cry “help” every couple of seconds. She does absolutely nothing to help herself out of her predicament. She isn’t even tied up or shackled or anything, yet she doesn’t even try to run away or escape, let alone fight Donkey Kong. In a nutshell, she shows absolutely no capacity to ensure her own survival or happiness and is completely dependent upon a man for both of them.

All that sounds pretty bad, of course, and you can certainly understand why someone would complain about it. Until you realize Sarkeesian is doing THE EXACT SAME THING PAULINE DOES. She shows no understanding of games, no capacity or even desire to make them by herself. All she does is to cry as loudly as she can, hoping there’s a man nearby to solve all her problems for her, which she clearly could never solve on her own.

She is a damsel in distress crying about how sexist it is to portray women as damsels in distress.

She is like that overly emotional woman who, when you point out to her that she’s overly emotional, turns to you and screams “HOW DARE YOU SAY I’M EMOTIONAL, YOU SEXIST PIG!!!”
