Original quote:
> Vicsor of Viscor’s Opinion reports that Anita Sarkeesian has used clips from Let’s Play commentaries in “Tropes vs Women” without providing credit or requesting permission beforehand. While these sources are considered fair use for nonprofit ventures, this finding has raised concerns about Ms. Sarkeesian’s journalistic integrity and the veracity of her research. This may also raise legal obstacles should she sell or otherwise monetize her series in the future. Vicsor has also noted discrepancies between the referenced versions of the games in Tropes vs Women and the actual versions recorded in the Let’s Play videos.

> Anita Sarkeesian is best known as the target of a large and decentralized trolling campaign against her series. She seems to have struck a chord with concerned gamers and feminists alike, accruing $160,000 for the production of her series. Some of her backers have requested accounts of her production expenditures, and this recent discovery is liable to increase the pressure.

...he wrote a two sentence post. Your post about his post is seven or eight times longer than his entire post. Literally no one cares.

David Wong is quite odd, though. He wrote like two articles violently, gleefully insisting that the gaming industry was about to crash, and... It hasn't.

I would have pocketed that money to exploit some third world prostitites myself. That's what she probably did so she can't afford a capture card

You have to appreciate how much an inoffensive statement can enrage someone. It might not exactly prove the virtue of the statement, but it does teach you something about the detractor.

Anita Sarkeesian still acts within her original budget.
