Like, what? A normal person who didn’t like what they were hearing would simply ignore Anita Sarkesian and go back to playing COD (a loser move, but better than being a nazi)
I mean, many did. At least at the time. It's not like even back then video games were still nerd shit, every dudebro in the country hopped on CoD every day to do sick 360 noscopes. And they didn't care about this shit, because they were neither interested in video game discourse nor terminally online. And the gamers back then fucking hated CoD, it was this intermediate period between CoD being for gamer nerds, because only they play video games, between gaming becoming mainstream enough that CoD gets talked about again en masse, where no self-respecting gamer would admit to touching the stuff.
