Immersed in Subversion :: Control the Culture; Control the Man [The Anita Sarkeesian Documentary]
The long awaited documentary is here; Immersed in Subversion :: Control the Culture; Control the Man; it is an analysis of Anita Sarkeesian, the Feminist Video Game critic who’s most recently been seen arguing for Internet censorship at the UN, or shadow banning Twitter users as part of Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council.
Anita Sarkeesian could have been anybody; she’s not the story, anymore than Zoe Quinn was the story of #GamerGate. The story itself is the story; the fact that present-day media is corrupt and pushing a narrative is the story. The individual players don’t matter – but by examining one of them, it allows us to see the whole structure for what it truly is.
Many thanks to Matt Forney for hosting the video, to all of the backers who made this project possible, to the many interviewees who trusted us to represent them accurately,¹ and to all of you who’ve been patient with me over the past year as I worked to complete this film.
I hope it lives up to your expectations.

1. Including some interviews which for various reasons were not used (for the record, the reason was never a lack of erudition; I got to meet some great people, some great thinkers during the filming whom I regret being unable to find space for in the completed product).
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
This is a positive development. Thanks for the update.
I appreciate that you were able to make it happen. Hope your future endevors are both easier and more fruitful than this has thus far proved.
Nice video, very good editing, and I’m glad you took it in the direction it went.
You guys got Karen so drunk, haha.
However, I’m afraid this won’t get to anyone that wasn’t already looking for it. Do you have any ideas for that?
Also a couple nitpicks – the video is off center such that the right side is cut off, and at 54:20 Alex is an Ediotr.
It was a fine video. I was very impressed at how well you made transitions as there were multiple instances of transitions; it really helped me understand the entire video as a whole instead of just a scattered bits and pieces.
It’s actually very complex in this full of activity life to listen news on Television, therefore I just use the web for that reason, and take
the most up-to-date information.
