Oh, it's funny to see people trying to prove gamers harass Anita just because she is a woman. Or that many guys just hate women and stuff. This is not true. People harass stupidity. If you do stupid things online, you'll be harassed. And it doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman. What you do matters. People got sick of all this neverending sexism bullshit going on. Most people do not think it is a problem worth mentioning of even is a problem at all.

"Oh, it's funny to see people trying to prove gamers harass Anita just because she is a woman." There is a game in which one can simulate punching her in the face, with realistic looking bruising and facial injuries, quite clearly evoking the horrific sub-culture amongst some males that hurting women is entertaining and funny. Pick someone else who did something "stupid" online and see if you can find a game simulating realistic facial injuries on them. You find it funny? I'm not laughing.

  I don't see any connection between punching game and being woman. Seriously. And I saw thousands of such games before. Except most of them were about punching males. Well, not all of them featured bruises and injuries though, but it's just a question of quality. I think it's much easier to make a punching game with these features now than several years ago. And here are some examples: http://www.arcadecabin.com/play/punch_the_president.html http://www.arcadecabin.com/play/punch_the_president.html http://www.urban75.com/Punch/gates.html http://www.urban75.com/Punch/gates.html

    Serious question. Do you genuinely not see the qualitative difference between that kind of cartoony game involving a major public figure, and the game with the images you can see on the original post? In your mind, are they essentially the same thing? Not trying to be nasty; to many, many people they are of completely different intent, but I am aware that some people just cannot sense that kind of thing.

      Well, again, I don't see any connection between this game and the fact that Anita is a woman. Yes, it's clearly harassment, but it's NOT women harassment.
