Sarkeesian on sexism in video games, and becoming a hate-target for talking about it

I have no doubt she’s well-intentioned, and she certainly seems to want to be relatively fair, but her entire concept of who stole from whom (and the morality of doing so) displays a whole lot of cognitive dissonance, while her “professional” interpretation of copyrights leaves a whole lot to be desired and suggests she hasn’t even done basic research on fair use. Copyright is complicated, but it’s not so complicated that you should be able to discover the fair use factors without being able to also discover how they’re applied.
