Feminist critic Anita Sarkeesian is only game person on Time’s top 100

Time named Anita Sarkeesian, a critic of the game industry’s depiction of women, as one of its top 100 most influential people in the world today. She appears on the list along side tech leaders Tim Cook of Apple and Satya Nadella of Microsoft — but no one else from the game multibillion game business.

Sarkeesian is the founder of the Feminist Frequency and creator of the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games video series. Her presence on the list suggests a cultural shift in the thinking about who plays games and who they’re are designed for. She has also been a frequent target of harassment by Internet trolls as part of the Gamergate controversy, which, among other things, pitted game traditionalists and others who made terrorist threats against feminist critics.
