So this is apparently happening tonight...

Poor poor marginalized Sarkeesian, what with only a national spotlight and the countless amount of money she's making on her victimhood tours to get her through the day.

BlueDoorFour · 2014-10-30T02:05:36+00:00

Wow... how quickly Anita's gone from "#CancelColbert" to "Y'all should watch the show tonight!!"

DavidByron2 · 2014-10-30T01:52:28+00:00

Yes she really knows how to milk feminists for attention and money.

And she's doing the rest of us a solid too, by making such ridiculously stupid over the top nonsense statements and making it the face of feminism, while doing her best to rile up the gamer community to see feminists as the enemy.

Scarecowy · 2014-10-30T04:08:29+00:00

Wow. Just watched that segment, and they really bent the facts, I would have expected better from the Colbert Report. You'd think that after #CancelColbert that he would be more aware of SJWs.

Kestyr · 2014-10-30T08:15:59+00:00

Name three games.

She fucking couldn't.

The person who supposedly spends their time pointing out problematic games can't even point out three. (I say supposedly since all the scripts are written by her boyfriend. Mcintosh)

I'm calling you out Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. I remember when your shows were insightful and funny. Now you're both mouthpieces for the Democratic Party. You used to make fun of everyone who did something stupid or corrupt regardless of political affiliation. Now you have one standard for conservatives/libertarians(look, this guy said something kinda stupid when you take it out of context) and one for liberals(to call out Obama it takes something like the IRS scandal and even then all you do is say "you need to stop giving the Republicans ammunition") You used to research your facts when you presented a topic. Now, you openly admit you know nothing about the topics you preach, ie- "I don't know anything about firearms but let's ban them anyway". Now you are allowing a proven con artist to come on your show and you don't question anything she says. It's no wonder I stopped watching years ago.

NiggaRemus · 2014-10-30T04:07:21+00:00

Giants won the World Series?

muffin_mandible · 2014-10-30T03:46:30+00:00

I really, really hope that Colbert shows her to be what she is, like all the bigots before...however I have recently seen too many feminist propaganda pieces on Daily Show, Colbert Report and Last Week Tonight to believe that will actually happen.

If the quality of the rest of the shows wasn't so high I'd have stopped watching by now.

Edit: a word

Dixieduffy · 2014-10-30T05:48:20+00:00

I wonder if the Colbert Report will do something on mens rights? further more. Does anyone know how I can get in contact with the show?

redpillbanana · 2014-10-30T22:55:00+00:00

"Comments are disabled for this video"

You can't have feminism without censorship.

Ryanami · 2014-10-30T03:18:36+00:00

With someone as ridiculous as her, isn't going on Colbert a bad move? He'll doubtless show her hypocrisy somehow.

IgnatiusBSamson · 2014-10-30T03:39:57+00:00

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

FreeBroccoli · 2014-10-30T08:49:24+00:00

Should I bother watching it? Or will it just make me want to pull out my hair?

TracyMorganFreeman · 2014-10-30T14:33:18+00:00

Unsurprisingly, Colbert strawmans and softballs to set up the interview to make it seem like the interviewee is super right on everything.

It does little more than preach to the choir and make their detractors all the more angry at what the original beef was: mischaracterizing them.

2014-10-30T12:06:28+00:00

It's the; "enough rope to hang thyself" concept.

Magus_Strife · 2014-10-30T12:17:42+00:00

It's ok, ladies and gentlemen. Any day now Karen Straughan or Warren Farrell will be invited on to offer counter points. Yup... any day now... cause fairness and equality?

2014-10-30T12:30:41+00:00

Against the damsel in distress trope in video games, but plays one in real life.

Akesgeroth · 2014-10-30T14:35:04+00:00

Old media is out of touch with what happens on the internet.

Old media heard there is a feminist getting attacked on the internet.

Old media invites said feminist without actually getting informed on the situation.

Old media proves once against that it is becoming irrelevant.

Mel_Gibsons_Sanity · 2014-10-30T15:12:03+00:00

I'm curious how this woman can say the shit she says, but be given a spot on The Colbert Report.... It's hard to imagine her being a woman with the non-sense that comes out of it is the specific reason she would be on that show.

And she will still go on about male privilege. Also, pretty sure her peers are the ones who thumped the cancelcoldert hash tag too... "fuck company X, they use child labor.. but i'll still use their shit for free!"

theskepticalidealist · 2014-10-30T16:56:37+00:00

Do you think women should have the same rights as men? Yes? Therefore you are a feminist. Great! How does that change any of the criticisms people have of Anita? Then everyone on both sides are "feminists" and each calling each other not true feminists. If Anita and co. could just stick to the claims being made then we might get somewhere, except then they'd have to acknowledge them, and then they'd have to deal with the most popular people denouncing them are women and in the case of C.H Sommers also someone that calls themselves a feminist. They harp on about how we should listen to women and their experiences, when that actually means listening only to women saying things they want them to say and if they aren't they might as well be men and a traitor to their gender.

I was never a fan of the Colbert Report. Not to say i didn't hate it. Rather I just never watched it or found it funny. Recently however The Colbert Report and The Daily Show have both gone down in overall quality to a point where it's just sickening to watch. I was able to catch a few minutes of the episode last night but quickly turned it off. The first spot I turned it on with featured him actually talking about "GameGate." I got about two sentances in before turning it off after hearing just about every buzzword that's been thrown around recently "Misogynist, troll, etc." I attempted to come back during the interview with Jill Lepore author of The Secret Life of Wonder Woman. I honestly don't know why I expected something better but within two minutes I had to shut it off it was all just garbage. I don't know why Comedy Central is going overboard with this (Daily Show had about a week of nonstop sexism skits not too long ago) but it's really just irritating.

Jaykaykaykay · 2014-10-30T18:42:05+00:00

Did anyone else kinda like Jon stewart and stephen colbert a few years ago but now find watching a single episode intolerable? Either I've gained more perspective and learned more of theyre getting much worse.

Archammes · 2014-10-30T19:44:57+00:00

Just out of curiosity, did Sarkeesian ever provide transparency as to where the $160k in Kickstarter cash went?

timoppenheimer · 2014-10-30T19:50:54+00:00

i know Colbert used to do culture jamming... does that mean he's going mock Sarkeesian? Legitimately discuss #Gamergate? Support feminism with obviously fallacious arguments? How is this going to go?

ding0bait · 2014-10-30T21:30:27+00:00

Someone told someone else women were oppressed and worse off then every other group in history. So women, justly, looked at their world, the things that bothered them and reported on their oppression:

Western Feminism

warspite88 · 2014-10-30T23:39:17+00:00

many men use gaming as an escape from a society that seems to hate them or hold them in contempt. indeed men and boys who did not fit the look or conform to the elite or womens profiling were shunned, called nerds, dorks, losers all kinds of harassment. yet no mainstream outlet cared.

many men and boys enjoy gaming and their large role in the development of gaming meant their interests dominated that market. now we see the feminist and womens righteous groups , white knights all attacking gamers from all sides, not just with harrassing words but with political bullying.

if men and boys do not start standing up for themselves, they will have no where to run....maybe that will be a good thing because then maybe men will start fighting for their rights?

throwaway · 2014-10-31T04:37:29+00:00

Cool, I had no idea Colbert Nation is back.

You're welcome Anita.

ShitlordAndProud · 2014-10-30T12:58:36+00:00

Best not to watch; it might be watch-rape.

ThePigmanAgain · 2014-10-30T07:17:57+00:00

Not surprised. Colbert has been a turd from the beginning. In the very first season, i believe it was, he virtually made out with Jane Fonda. I almost puked and haven't watched since.
