Internet Trolls Up Their Harassment Game With 'Beat Up Anita Sarkeesian'

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/07/06/internet-trolls-online-beat-up-anita-sarkeesian-game_n_1653473.html?utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false

“There’s been a disgusting large imbalance of women who get beaten up in games. Let’s add a lady to help balance things,” write the game’s creators.

“She has refused to address any form of criticism whatsoever, and hides behind the fact she has a vagina, claiming it’s sexist to criticize her in any way.”

“She claims to want equality: Well, here it is.”


The site accuses Sarkeesian, who has so far raised $158,922, of scamming people who don't know any better.


The comments are, as usual, sickening.
