Well, what about her opinion do you personally agree with that qualifies her to be a paid consultant on a game?
I don't think she's wrong that some games objectify women. I don't think Ms. Pacman is a great example (I think I recall viewing one of her videos on that subject & found it absurd), but there's certainly other examples where she wouldn't be wrong. If say, a game developer had been criticized for copious amounts of objectification & hired her on as a consultant I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with it (I don't think Mirror's Edge fits that bill, though). I think many other woman would be more qualified for that job, but since Anita seems to have a large audience I would understand why someone would hire her for this hypothetical position.
Now, if Rockstar wanted her to consult on GTA VI I would more understand the outrage. Heck, I would be outraged. What would GTA be without the ability to bang hookers & kill them to get your $ back?

The biggest reason why Omega is flipping his **** about this petition is because it's against a person who has raised the banner flag of the left.
1 - I am not flipping my ****.
2 - Do you not see how this is an absurd knee-jerk reaction to a non-existent "problem"?
3 - I think this petition is a decent example of how GGers operate

I agree with lolgaxe that petitions are mostly worthless anyway, regardless of what they are for/against. They become more worthless when they are about something untrue. But whatever makes you feel better, I suppose.
