Every few months, Anita Sarkeesian attempts to knock down a hornet's nest. This time it is Ninja. I really find it amusing because Ninja is just a blue-haired winy little bitch with millions of dollars. I guess she decided to target Ninja because he has a large following and his money.
I was kind of hoping people would simply forget about her again in a few months and she would fade back into nothing again. Every time she tries to come up with a hot take, it feels calculated. She goes after the hottest things in pop culture in order to get the crazier fans to attack her. In return, she can become a victim and receive attention over again. The problem is that that 2014 trend doesn’t work anymore. People will respond to her bad takes and point out the issues and move on.
Look, I find it desperate because her prime was 2013-2017. The Internet and pop culture has changed and her old tricks simply aren’t going to work anymore. When you look at her views, she is still hovering around 1.3K views. That number is fine for someone like me, but she was pulling 3-1 million seven years ago. So, I can see why she would punch upward toward Ninja. The problem is she just not going to get the same negative response she was hoping for like in 2014.
Anyway, she will make another dumb statement, people will get outraged, and the Internet will move on. Would Anita of 2013 be proud of 2021 Anita (fighter of lame blue-haired Twitch streamers and boob armor)? It is kind of sad really.
Side Note: What happened to that “online helpline company” she backed? I mean it is still around, but no one is talking about it. Not even Anita seems that interested in it anymore. Odd.
