Anita Sarkeesian's Youtube channel, Feminist Frequency, has just been deleted despite never violating Youtube's terms of service

I've posted this another reply but here are few examples of Anita getting things wrong by a huge margin.

-Claiming that the Game "Dying Light" uses the "Damsel in Distress trope". People who have played the game argues that the character in question, Jade is a strong character and there really is no Damsel in Distress narrative. -Anita complains about lack of mix gender teams in FIFA 16, and she completely glosses over the fact that there is a massive skill gap between men and women's soccer and the licensing issues involved in it. -Anita complains about E3 badge being sexist, but she does not realize that the voucher is not actually part of the badge. Even people r/girlgamers, who are mostly pro-femisnist are troubled by Anita's reaction, as the character in question, Riise is wearing appropriate attire as a Japanese pop singer. -She made a video on Bayonetta where she says the only positive thing worth noting about the game was that the protagonist is a single mother. AFAIK, it's revealed pretty early in the game that Bayonetta is not Cereza's mother, and people are suspecting that Anita came to that conclusion based on screenshots of Bayonetta and Cereza together. Anita took the video down but it raised a lot of doubts on people's mind as to whether she actually played the game before making that video.

Aside from the FIFA thing, none of these things are that hard to fact check. She could have easily asked other people before making these comments, and Bayonetta's example is egregious.

As far as her criticism of her research is concerned, this is one of the better ones I've seen out there.
