• ‟ Online harassment, especially gendered online harassment, is an epidemic. Women are being driven out; they're being driven offline. This isn't just in gaming. This is happening across the board online, especially with women who participate in or work in male-dominated industries.

  - Anita Sarkeesian
  

• ‟ There's a toxicity within gaming culture, and also in tech culture, that drives this misogynist hatred, this reactionary backlash against women who have anything to say, especially those who have critiques or who are feminists.

  - Anita Sarkeesian
  

• ‟ GamerGate is really a sexist temper tantrum. That's kind of a silly, funny way of putting it, but it's kind of what it feels like, right? They're going after and targeting women who are trying to make changes in the industry. They're attacking anyone who supports women.

  - Anita Sarkeesian
  

• ‟ I was frustrated with how academia tended to present feminist theory in disconnected or inaccessible ways. I wanted to try and bring a sociological feminist lens to the limited and limiting representations of women in the media and then share that with other young women of my generation. YouTube was the perfect medium.

  - Anita Sarkeesian
  

• ‟ I love playing video games, but I'm regularly disappointed in the limited and limiting ways women are represented.

  - Anita Sarkeesian
  

• ‟ Game creators aren't necessarily all sitting around twirling their nefarious-looking mustaches while consciously trying to figure out how to best misrepresent women as part of some grand conspiracy. Most probably just haven't given much thought to the underlying messages their games are sending.

  - Anita Sarkeesian
  

• ‟ The notion that gaming was not for women rippled out into society, until we heard it not just from the games industry, but from our families, teachers and friends. As a consequence, I, like many women, had a complicated, love-hate relationship with gaming culture.

  - Anita Sarkeesian
  

• ‟ Game studios, developers, and major publishers need to vocally speak up against the harassment of women and say this behavior is unacceptable.
