That's not due to being a feminist, which she isn't (it's all a long scam in how she used the true believer Jonathan Mcintosh to make "successful teleseminars" for guilible idiots and then ditched him unceremoniously when she believe he outlived his purpose). She will identify as an "Iraqi" (and not a Canadian) on twitter because it's an intersectional and anti-colonialist thing to do and she plays along, but that's not like she actually cares about Arabs and Muslims across the Middle East and beyond (and neither do the other wokes usually and that's including Iraq when not involving America, but anyway).
She's actually very much an Armenian ethnonationalist, and that's just like her father, Wally Sarkeesian, who posts on twitter about how Israel is evil, and which is currently because it's allied to Turkey and refuses to support Armenian lobby on the issue of Armenian genocide. This alliance led to how the Azerbaijani drones made in both Israel and Turkey recently genocided Armenian soldiers despite the Sarkeesians asserting on twitter about how "strong" their side is in the conflict, and this of course made people like Wally and Anita seethe a whole lot.
However that's not all of it and the Armenian nationalist hatred of Israel and support for the Palestinians goes far back actually, to way before Armenia was a country but Israel already was (which Anita seems to be especially angry about, her "Israel is not a country" post being deliberate). When Armenia was just a Soviet Republic, Armenian terorrist groups from the diaspora allied themselves with the Palestinian cause against the West as Turkey was a part of it (via NATO in particular). They have fought the Israelis (and local Arab Christians) for the PLO in Lebanon before going back home after the USSR collapse to expel the Azeris and Kurds from Nagorno Karabakh. So nothing of this is new or recent.
But I wonder how Neil Druckmann feels about it. Probably he will just accept it and will stay silent after seeing this side of his "Games Ambassador", because like Josh he too is a male feminist idiot who will be used and abused by a woman without a complaint if it will only advance their ideology in the fight against "misogyny" (including the internalized misogynists like the evil Amy Hennig that he so valiantly destroyed and now she has no career in games or anywhere anymore). I'm actually not quite sure about how much of a self hating Israeli he is. Apparently like he's a lot like Josh who was mentally broken after actually witnessing 9/11 in New York, while Cuckmann only saw that lynching that made him so angry on the TV just like he doesn't see the rocket assault on his homeland in person now that he's residing in America like Sark does. (Honestly I just didn't check about what views did he express on the new conflict publicly, if any.)
I still remember the ridiculous video that she created claiming that Iswamophobia is wacism. That alone is treason against her heritage. Even when I was SJW, I did not make such retarded claims.
I figured you might know. Can you explain GamerGate to me? Or link me a video, or an essay or something I can go down the rabbit hole on? I can't find any good information.
In 2014, some guy posted a MeToo account about how he was abused by his girlfriend, who cheated on him with five guys. One of these guys was a 'games journalist' who had given positive coverage to her sorry excuse of a 'game' about depression, called Depression Quest. When people called this out, they were called racist, sexist (the usual) by the SJW outlet (Kotaku) he worked at. On one day, many different gaming websites declared that gamers were dead. Hence, Gamergate was born. Then all sorts of revelations came out about how the 'journalists' were co-ordinating their coverage.
But they did not give up, and continued the struggle, which became a broader struggle against Social Justice and PC, as well as unethical journalism. Hard to believe that we're 5.5 years into it now. We're approaching our 6th anniversary.
It was actually still a typical Josh video and she was only reading it. (But of course she then kept playing this character for power and profit.)
Anyway Josh is an interesting case in how seeing the 9/11 broke his mind this way. He used to be a conservative rich kid before this.
At least here in Europe, no self-respecting Armenian (or other Christian from the MENA) would read such a thing.
Speaking of Josh, he really vindicated the idea that you have to criticize these people to death. Because Anita floundered and failed, while his Youtube channel was ignored and now it's big and mainstream.
Josh apparently achieved grassroots success with a public audience of the breadtube sort, meanwhile Sark is being funded by corporations (something that Josh had despised back then and despises now) while no one actually watches or listens to her content.
Oh, and also Armenia today is a close ally of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In addition to the diaspora members historically having fought alongside/for the PLO, and apparently some sort of relationship Iraqi Armenians had with Saddam's Iraq that Sarkeesian thought the American led invasion was directed against the Iraqi Armenians.
Yes, but that is for reasons of balance of power, Armenia is allied with Iran. Azerbaijan would like to seize Iranian Azerbaijan, so Iran instead allies with Armenia, which is hostile to Azerbaijan.
It seems their alliance with Russia and Iran did them 0 good though.
