... For most part of the interview, she presented her point pretty well.
I am surprised and impressed. Didn't ever think she could do it.

The bit about gamergate was her defending herself, though. Overall, positively impressed with it. She conveyed a more inclusive message in the show than she did in all of her videos.

Edit: Link for the video. Viacom took the Youtube one down - http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/wr7hqq/gamergate---anita-sarkeesian
To quote Lt. Frank Drebin: "Cheer up, Ed. This is not goodbye. It's just I won't ever see you again."

The overall result is neutral, I suppose.

Although I have noticed in some areas where she comes off as quite weak in her position, and it looks like she's cracking in some areas. Like the one time where she is prompted to list three games that are very sexist, but failed to do so despite talking about the subject so much.

Also, I have heard that they cut out some of the more interesting questions. I would like to have the uncut version please.
Hug the Pikachus!

Wasn't Anita just supporting that racist Asian girl named Suey Park who wanted to cancel Colbert because she took his satire out of context because he's a white male? I guess that doesn't  matter when she's  presented with airtime, huh? What a hypocrite.

yeap the very same bitch.
It gets funny how so many people out there made vids to prove Anita's bullshittiness but Ive yet to see one that can put her in her place by shutting up.

really now? I don't ever recall her having to leave home, cuz as far as I knew she was in a fucking dorm when she was whining about fucking satire, which is like the safest place you can be. Nor do I recall any threats of violence directed specifically at her.

What a piece of shit.

This shit really needs to stop. You don't get to threaten and/or turn someones life upside down just because you don't like what they have to say. I don't believe there is a correlation between video game and real world violence and aggression, but how do they think this asinine behaviour will be interpreted by those who do? When they catch one of these idiots, and they will, I hope they make a mighty fine example out of them.

yeah, it's like those rape and murder threats that are reported without saying who the victim is so sjws calling on mysoginy, then the source reveals they were aimed at males to shut up the sjw.

The amusing thing about this comment is that it could apply to either side. "Just shut these assfuckers up once and for all" : the way everyone and anyone feels in an argument.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

This entire thing is ridiculous. So much better uses of time than to mail kitchen utensils to people who don't agree with you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the impression that the people doing it was pro-GamerGate but didn't like how the two identities in question (who were trying to speak in support of them) were handling things, idk.

Uh, why ? The article doesn't say anything like that. The people threatened are not anti-gamergate, they're pro-gamergate. Without indication that they're being expressly terrible at defending gamergate, logic dictates that they're harassed for being pro gamergate, and until an investigation actually tells us who sent it, the obvious guess is that the threats and harassment come from anti-gamergate people.
The whole article is centered on that sentence "When you bring light to the harassment of Sarkeesian and Wu, don’t leave out the doxxing of GG Feminist, academic feminist, or death threats sent to Boogie, a prominent YouTube celebrity, in the shadows." which is there to say that yes, people from the other side of the argument are ALSO being threatened, not just the over-mediatized douches. And not necessarily by the same people who somehow think that these guys aren't representing them well enough - such an assumption would be a pretty big bias.
the article said:
A feminist, a gamer, and a journalist writing for TechRaptor and Gamesided, and yet a woman who does not agree with Sarkeesian’s critique, I am an outsider. I have been harassed on Twitter and Reddit, I have had my personal e-mails hacked, and it is certainly not by those who support this revolt. It is by trolls and those who believe that as a woman, I am a traitor to my gender for not wishing to quell this debate, for not automatically siding with Anita. I am a woman who wishes to listen to both sides of the debate, and so I must have internalized my misogyny, I must be misguided, and blinded by the ideas of men. I am now excluded from a community that used to include me.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.
