What makes you say Anita Sarkeesian is an extremist?
I certainly am not a fan is radical feminists, I think they are basically like the misogynist men that they rail against, but just wish they had the opportunity to be as bigoted. You can see this in action with the Terfs. But I certainly wouldn't class Anita Sarkeesian as such. She makes some very valid points about games.
Has it occurred to you that if change is to happen then it basically means that those who are happy with the status quo are likely to accuse those who are not as being extremists?
I've yet to hear a valid point Anita has brought up. There's literally hundreds of refutations to Anita's videos and honestly, she knows she would get down-voted to smithereens in the free marketplace of ideas, so she shuts down the comment section and ratings. What's especially troubling is her new "25 benefits to gaming while being a white male" or some shit, a terrible video full of sophistic points that don't apply to just female nor show some benefits to being a white male gamer.

If I say I am not a feminist, does that automatically make me an anti feminist?
No, it doesn't make you Anti-feminist.
I know plenty of people who support women's rights and are not feminists or haters of feminism. But I'm sure a decent # of the feminists you'll talk to will try to convince you that if you don't take on the label that you don't support women's rights.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
