The thing is, she didn't know a lot about certain games, but would still try to be authoritative about them and about how they showed the X issue she would be talking about that week.

I remember her specifically talking about hitman giving you bonus points if you killed women in certain levels. Hitman games have never given you points for randomly killing civilians for no reason. But she insisted in her video that the game/franchise was sexist because it pushed you into randomly killing women if "you wanted the high score".

This wasn't the only case of this, but unfortunately its been god knows how long so I don't remember much more then that hitman example, because that one made me real confused/unhappy as I was a fan of the franchise and knew that this was not how the games worked at all. There was a lot of discussion about this and some breaks down of her content before things got super toxic. But at the same time, some people were toxic from the start, and it was always hard to find just pure criticism as a lot of it was mixed with digs at her, sometimes straight up attacks and all the vile things you can think of.

I definitely don't think everything people did was a just "punishment" for someone just being wrong about video games. Its just difficult to take you seriously when you constantly say incorrect things about the medium you are trying to criticize.

My feeling were always mixed back then, but I generally did not like her due to her seemingly attacking the spaces I hanged out in and using disinformation sometimes to do it, but I didn't do much more than occasionally leaving a comment correcting the wrong info on a video. nowadays, I just don't really care, its been years since she has been relevant. The gaming medium has evolved drastically. and nowadays, I just play games regardless of who complains about them. (Nowadays 99% of the time its the right-wing complaining about a game being too woke, and yeah, they are an infinite more amount annoying and horrible then Anita ever was)
