remember how anita sarkeesian, some online nobody, made a few videos about how sexism is bad so she got death threats and her entire career ruined by gamers?  But then that wasnt enough for them and since they thought real life was like halo they somehow became convinced that she was like this big all powerful overlord with a fuck ton of social and political power who was literally gonna censor all video games and they drew fanart of this with vivian james as like some lone rebel or something and they suddenly had all these conspiracy theories about her embezzling money or controlling the industry and they legitimately believed a hoax that she was involved in the development of mirrors edge 2 and was gonna “make the game easier for women“ but she was just someone making videos and then all this publicity they gave her resulted in her being asked to speak for like, 5 minutes at the united nations just to talk about internet harassment and they all legitimately believed she was gonna somehow convince the UN to instill fascism
