I'm pretty sure she blocks here youtube comments because they are/were full to the bring with rape threats, death threats, misogynist bullshit and genereal bigotry.
I may not fully agree with her logic but after seeing the kind of discusting reaction the video games fans on the internet have had I really can't disagree that video game culture is misoginist to the core and I trust her conclusions a hell of a lot more than I trust the average video gamer since their reaction is discusting to the extreme to any kind of critism (either constructive or not) to 'video game culture'.
There's a reason for that. Devin Faraci sums it up:
"Let me tell you where these kids are coming from, because I used to come from there. The first thing that’s happening is that they’re mostly males who are socially unaccepted. They’re outsiders, losers, weirdos and freaks. And most of them aren’t just male, they’re white males. What’s happening is that these men are feeling powerless in their own lives, and then along comes someone like Anita Sarkeesian telling them that as white men they are the MOST powerful group in the world. And that they should be aware of this privilege and they should be careful how they exert it.
Imagine the confusion this causes. These kids feel like the bottom of the heap, ignored and hated and mocked and here comes this woman - who is successful and admired and gets Joss Whedon to retweet her videos - telling them that they’re actually part of an invisible system keeping her down. This simply can’t compute for these guys
[...]
Understanding all of this doesn’t mean excusing it, and God knows I don’t. But understanding all of this does leave me at a loss - I don’t know how to get through to these kids. Devils like Owens and Aurini and anonymous hatemonger Internet Aristocrat have the ears of these kids because they offer soothing reassurances that the angry gamers are right and the entirety of the world is wrong. They’re recruiting young people for hate. They're turning the sense of marginalization these kids feel into hate for other marginalized people, a standard tactic of Neo-Nazi groups, for instance. I, for whatever reason, was always a liberal-leaning person, and while I might have grown up using 1980s street language that would get me boycotted today, I never would have bought into the line of woman-hating hogwash these guys are peddling. This is the only place where I find myself unable to understand these kids - if you feel so put-upon, why are you putting upon others?"
