Anita Sarkeesian Quotes

The gaming industry has been male-dominated ever since its inception Picture Quote #1

I’m really thriving and enjoying being a part of a really vibrant creative team and doing creative work Picture Quote #1

Games have a huge impact on our society because the media plays a role in helping to shape our attitudes. So it’s not just fantasy Picture Quote #1

The time for invisible boundaries that guard the ‘purity’ of gaming as a niche subculture is over. The violent macho power fantasy will no longer define what gaming is all about Picture Quote #1

I was frustrated with how academia tended to present feminist theory in disconnected or inaccessible ways. I wanted to try and bring a sociological feminist lens to the limited and limiting representations of women in the media and then share that with other young women of my generation. YouTube was the perfect medium Picture Quote #1

I love playing video games, but I’m regularly disappointed in the limited and limiting ways women are represented Picture Quote #1

There’s a toxicity within gaming culture, and also in tech culture, that drives this misogynist hatred, this reactionary backlash against women who have anything to say, especially those who have critiques or who are feminists Picture Quote #1

The notion that gaming was not for women rippled out into society, until we heard it not just from the games industry, but from our families, teachers and friends. As a consequence, I, like many women, had a complicated, love-hate relationship with gaming culture Picture Quote #1

My own contentious relationship with gaming continued through high school and college: I still enjoyed playing games from time to time, but I always found myself pushed away by the sexism that permeated gaming culture. There were constant reminders that I didn’t really belong Picture Quote #1

As others have recently suggested, the term ‘gamer’ is no longer useful as an identity because games are for everyone. These days, even my mom spends an inordinate amount of time gaming on her iPad. So I’ll take a cue from my younger self and say I don’t care about being a ‘gamer,’ but I sure do love video games Picture Quote #1

It’s been really exciting to work on a collaborative, creative team where we got to bounce ideas back and forth and figure out the best one Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make feminism more accessible. And I really wanted to engage with my own generation, one that is increasingly speaking in an audio/video multimedia language Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t call it a silver lining, but with more women speaking up, online harassment is beginning to be taken more seriously Picture Quote #1

Some male gamers with a deep sense of entitlement are terrified of change Picture Quote #1

Well maybe the princess shouldnt be a damsel and she can save herself Picture Quote #1

I am not a fan of video games, I had to learn a lot about them. I would love to play video games, but I don’t want to go around shooting people, and ripping off their heads, and it’s just gross Picture Quote #1

There is a clear difference between sexist parody and parody of sexism. Sexist parody encourages the players to mock and trivialize gender issues while parody of sexism disrupts the status quo and undermines regressive gender conventions Picture Quote #1

One of the most radical things you can do, is to actually believe women when they tell you about their experiences Picture Quote #1

There’s no such thing as sexism against men. That’s because sexism is prejudice power. Men are the dominant gender with power in society Picture Quote #1
