Really hope I didn't post another fake...

Anyway if this article is true I'm happy game developers understand. As much as I have mixed opinions on Anita Sarkeesian I personally believe that all these rape threats she gets is just very immature. If you don't agree with what she does then have a productive conversation about it, state why you disagree with her info don't put a comment like "Ur a bitch cause u talked bout ma game n a bad way".

Gonna be "that guy" but what exactly does signing a petition like this do? Congrats, you've compiled a list of names that go towards nothing. There's such a thing as not giving into trolls and then there's people who do take online insults seriously (which shouldn't be brushed under the rug) which result in a lot of people also taking a stand in that aspect too. It's pointless petition that solves nothing, only that people within the industry are against this 'hate speech'. Fair enough, I agree and like the effort is trying to be made, but again...welcome to the Internet.

Here's a better one: http://www.change.org/p/the-gaming-indus...p-the-hate It asks for devs and journalists to stop the hate because they're the ones who are hating the most vocally.

I find this to be a better petition. I'd argue that if developers are so open about people regardless of sexual orientation, gender, age, race and so on, then why do they continually make white male protagonist games?
According to GameSpot, the list of reputable developers are:

Including Rockstar North, Naughty Dog, Bungie, 343 Industries, Blizzard Entertainment, and Epic Games.

Yet all have the same type of protagonists. I know I've gone a tangent, but I find this irony to be astounding. Why not end the hate by being productive about it? Then we wouldn't have to put up with the crap Anita says which is only stemmed from developers and their publishers.
(Also, there are valid reasons to not like someone).
