For those who don’t know. Anita Sarkeesian is an American feminist media critic who focuses on depictions of women in popular culture. She talks about how women are depicted in movies and games. She also had a kickstarter project for a Tropes Vs Women video serieswhich you can read about here. She received some flack for this (even beforehand) and has been labeled such things as “slut” “whore” amongst other things by guys who are offended by someone who wishes to point out the obvious about how women are portrayed in games. One of these “men” by the name of Bendilin Spurr of Ontario Canada, decided on a “spurr” of the moment to make a game where you can hit her. I’m not sure what’s more stupid, Bendilin Spurr of Ontario Canada actually doing this or the latest comments on his steam profile from friends telling Bendilin Spurr of Ontario Canada to fight the good fight, and that Bendilin Spurr of Ontario Canada is a hero for doing this. Nothing says you’re a hero like making a flash based game where you hit a woman. Classy.
It’s a shame that Anita can’t be more like Bendilin Spurr of Ontario Canada, he’s a real winner! Especially with his erotic Sonic The Hedgehog drawings and his epicly awesome YouTube account.

After sharing this with Yutram, we both have to ask. When did the shamwow guy have a love child?
So anyway… The comments on his steam page backing him up. Here are my faves.

Bring it the fuck on Feminsts, I fucking dare you, flat out fucking dare you
I’m here day, noon and night
Translation: I have no life.
The way that you have been harassed is wrong to the point that it should be criminal. Please don’t give in them. Get your twitter account back and just ignore the throng of idiots.
Yes, the harassment which started from creating and releasing a flash game about hitting a woman is just criminal.
Ah, misery enjoys company. And they’ll have each other for a loooooooong time.
Edited to add: If you run a server and wouldn’t want this creep on your server, here’s his Steam ID STEAM_0:0:20040426
