leigh alexander hatte schon immer diesen aggressiven ton wenn ihr etwas nicht gepasst hat. und wie so immer schießt sie auch hier völlig über das ziel hinaus.

und hier ein paar auszüge daraus:
Let's look at the current “battleground”. On one side, we have those defending Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian. On the other, we have those attacking them. Seems simple doesn't it?
Where does all this trench-digging, black and white, absolute nonsense and nonsense of absolutes come from? I'd say a lack of empathy for the most part, an unwillingness to put yourself in someone elses shoes or perhaps even an inability to do so. It is being perpetrated by anonymous individuals and known writers. It makes me sick. Just a few hours ago an article was published claiming that “Gamers are over” It claims “Gamer” isn’t just a dated demographic label that most people increasingly prefer not to use. Gamers are over. That’s why they’re so mad.”. The article seems to revel in this idea of a “gamer”, defining what a “gamer” with terms like “obtuse shitslingers, these wailing hyper-consumers, these childish internet-arguers”. I guess it's easy to attack someone once you've labeled them the enemy. It's much easier than trying to understand where all this anger comes from.
While it might feel good to be on what you think is the “right side”, the world is not so black and white, there is no organized hategroup that you can revile as universally bad and attack with absolute moral authority. In reality, some developers and journalists are engaging in actively vilifying, stereotyping and outright attacking the very people who are part of the demographic they create their products for. Likewise some of these people are attacking developers for doing little more than saying “hey yeah so maybe we should have more diversity in game writing” or defending someone who they see being harassed. They all believe their cause is righteous. All I see are reasonable voices being drowned out, discussion derailed and people getting hurt.
Why put any of these people on the defensive? Engage with them in a discussion if they're willing. I don't believe videogames are all about chopping up women and I think I can prove that if I'm given the chance to. I don't believe that videogames cause players to develop sexist attitudes, just as I believe they don't cause players to become violent. I also don't believe that everything portrayed in videogames is ok. Lots of videogames are really bad for a wide variety of reasons, mechanical or otherwise. They're often dumb, bull-headed and they pander oh boy do they pander. I want better videogames because I think our hobby can soar even higher than it currently does.

Daraus jetzt zu zimmern dass diese Kunden kein Interesse an neuem haben und der Weiterentwicklung des Mediums im Weg stehen ist absurd.
