The Sarkeesian Effect: Inside the World of Social Justice Warriors Quote

Himself - Narrator: By the time Anita Sarkeesian ascended on to the GDC awards stage there were two conflicting stories on how she had gotten there. The one put forth by Mr. Druckmann was the one put forth by the media at large. The story of a heroic young woman who overcame impossible odds to gain ground for women and minorities everywhere. It was a compelling narrative, one that fit well with the civil rights stories of the past. PBS even saw fit to compare Anita Sarkeesian to Rosa Parks, Harvey Milk and Martin Luther King Jr. But this appealing narrative doesn't tell the whole story. As Anita grinned ear to ear with trophy in hand thousands of gamers were watching something else entirely, the video game industry bowing down to a bully like none it had ever encountered before, a bully that used guilt and political correctness to have her way. The two narratives about Anita Sarkeesian, one heroic, one heinous had come to define the two sides in a bitter culture war in modern gaming that would soon explode in the controversial consumer revolt known as GamerGate. While the world at large looked on with confusion gaming culture stood divided over what can be called The Sarkeesian Effect.
