She raised all that money with the pretext of buying the games she was going to criticize, playing them and then doing her own analysis from that experience. Apparently she didn't. And, in any case, she failed to credit the long-players whose footage she plagiarized. That's why it's called plagiarism: because she didn't give credit.

You certainly did when it was him documenting the feud between Jordan Owen and Davis "LaVey" Aurini.

What, is it only when he says things you like that he's credible?

proudfootz wrote:So, no link to Sarkeesian ever saying the things you're claiming?

proudfootz wrote:I never claimed he was 'credible'.

proudfootz wrote:But then, you don't understand the notion of 'fair use' either.

She apparently claims that some of that money was spent on games of which she had to plagiarize longplay footage, and systems required to execute them.

Then why did you embed his video, pray tell?

proudfootz wrote:Funny - I don't see any quotes from Sarkeesian in this opinion piece.

proudfootz wrote:Let alone any claim that any and all images of gameplay will be of Sarkeesian playing the game.

"Anita Sarkeesian has released a financial breakdown of the way funds raised in her 2012 Tropes vs. Women Kickstarter were spent."

Well if it's a pie chart, then she didn't really "say" it as such, did she?

proudfootz wrote:Let alone any claim that any and all images of gameplay will be of Sarkeesian playing the game.

Whatever the case may be her, she is and remains a plagiarist for taking others' footage and failing to provide attribution, which is the essence of what makes someone a plagiarist.

proudfootz wrote:Read the text accompanying the video. It's there for a reason.

proudfootz wrote:Nothing there supports your claim that she promised all images used in the videos would be of Sarkeesian playing the games.

proudfootz wrote:So, to continue in the vein of 'who are these anti-social justice warriors' here we have a breakdown of the claim that Sarkeesian intended some sort of scam...

Sadegh wrote:"This video is unavailable.

Sorry about that."

And Anita Sarsleazian is still a plagiarist.

proudfootz wrote:yes, in exactly the same way anyone using an image, a gif, or a video clip without attribution are 'plagiarists'

So… I just found my old Dragon’s Lair fanart is being used without my permission in advertising for a very successful Kickstarter project… since 2012.

I don’t know how to approach this. On one hand, the project had a message I can identify with. On the other, no credit was given, my signature was removed, and they made $150k+

(To be fair: My memory is fuzzy, but I don’t remember giving permission and haven’t found any e-mails yet reminding me that I did. :/ )

Silliest Part: they stole my fanart (drawn by a me, a woman and freelance video game artist) to use in marketing material to illustrate sexism in video games. Was it assumed that a man had drawn it, and so it would be ok to use without permission to illustrate a point? >.>

Copyright law is law, regardless of gender. I didn’t design or create the character, but I did create that drawing AS A TRIBUTE to the character and not for commercial use. :/

Suggestions? :/

Looks like you've fixed the embed, but I'm not watching that 50 minute video, because I have reading to do. Nevertheless, Sarsleazian is still a plagiarist and most definitely has been involved in con artistry as demonstrated with her work with Alex Mandossian and Bart Baggett (whether Baggett was doing PUA crap at the time is immaterial because handwriting analysis is con artistry anyway).

proudfootz wrote:The video isn't for you, as it seems clear you have zero interest in what is good for the human race (per your earlier post).

Recently, it came to our attention that we had accidentally used a piece of fan art in a collage we made for my Tropes vs Women in Video Games Kickstarter two years ago. Some of you have politely asked questions and expressed concern about this issue so I will do my best to clear things up here.

First, we would like to offer our sincerest apologies to Tammy for mistaking her Dragon’s Lair fan art for official promotional material two years ago when we created this remix collage. Her rendering of famed animator Don Bluth’s character Princess Daphne is so professional looking that we honestly thought it was official art used in the marketing of one of the dozens of Dragon’s Lair remakes and ports that have been released over the past 30 years. Compounding our confusion, Tammy’s image is used on many video game sites and forums without proper attribution to the artist and without indication that it is fan art. It was on one of these sites that we originally found the image which was grouped with many other official images of famous female gaming characters.

Perhaps, but I do care whether Sarsleazian is a plagiarist and con artist and she is, indeed, both.

As for your assertion that you are acting on the behalf of other forum members: it seems that most of the other people posting in this thread have just laughed off a lot of what you've said, so I'm afraid your message might be falling on deaf ears.

Her plagiarism (it's easy to ask for forgiveness than permission by the way) and involvement with fellow con artists Bart Baggett and Alex Mandossian are articles of faith.

How many person-hours do I think I spent on these posts?
