    Good to see a nice rebuttal to such an annoying argument. Shame no-one who uses it will read it.

    Well it's possible people will read it. Katherine Cross is fairly well known in the feminist community; I'm not sure about the trans community. But one of the things going for her is she tends to agree with most social justice activists on the "essentials" (things I actually disagree with and don't like about her, but that's another story) to gain their respect.

    The point is, she commands attention, as opposed to being some kind of rando.

    Anita Sarkeesian is well known and we all know that non of the trolls who harass her don't actually watch the videos. But maybe we'll shut someone up.

    I have it on fairly good authority that her criticisms of games are sometimes poorly researched. I haven't taken the time to evaluate these claims or her claims because I'm a hacker, not a gamer.
