All Powerful – Achieving Nothing
Parallel in not-so-unexpected-places: The more I think about it, a particular brand of “Gamergate” criticism of Anita Sarkeesian is like a particular brand of TeaParty/right-wing criticism of Obama: Sarkeesian is completely useless and can do nothing, but has the absolute power to dictate, censor the course of the massive, mainstream gaming industry to a Stalinist …
