      Hi there 👋 I was one of those guys who though Anita Sarkeesian was “going too far” and causing people to get angry. I thought her lack of context around gaming culture and the lens through which she chose to view my pastime was creating a problem that didn’t exist.

      As a wannabe games journalist I was envious of her reach, I felt belittled by what she was talking about, and I thought it was just another form of rabble rousing. I’d talk to my (male) friends about it and they agreed. I was knowledgeable & saw folks online who thought the same.

      Outside of games I had a bunch of close, female friends from my hometown who I lived with for a time. Through, I dunno, social osmosis (and countless bottles of wine) I began to see how they viewed society. How things that seemed normal to me, we’re obstacles to them.

      Online I was challenged too. By journalists, by my colleagues, my boss, people on Twitter and in the comments of my videos. I felt less certain about how I felt, and less confident about speaking my truth. My truth felt less like the truth, and more like my assumption.

      Today I see her work much differently. In retrospect I view it as an inconvenient truth that (along with other brave voices) forced our pastime to confront rampant misogyny in both the artform, and hiring practices.

      I was not was not part of this revolution. My contribution was keeping my mouth shut. I’m not proud of this. In more recent years I’ve tried to be a stronger, more vocal ally, but the truth is I could and should have done more to help others like me understand. I wish I had.

      The point of this? Don’t look to straight white dudes when you want to know how social change works. We haven’t a clue. We‘re coddled by the status quo & don’t know any better. Listen to those who tell you there‘s a problem. And if you don’t believe them, listen until you do.

          I’m very aware that it didn’t stop, and I’m a lot more intensional in how I use my work and private life to be an ally.

          This is probably the most fair way I've seen this summarized. In 2013 I was very narrow-minded and assumed that everyone had the same access to opportunity as I did, and I didn't really revisit and challenge that until I met my fiancee. I hope more of us can see how hard it canbe
