I have a question here. If moderate feminists are the majority then how come we see so few of them speaking? But instead we see so much of these hateful people like sarkesian or sue choi? Infact why would a moderate feminist when there are other titles describing a belief in equality where you do have to spend half your time explaining "no, I'm not like those but jobs"
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Well...I would argue that the majority of them do talk, via petition signing, voting for things like equal pay, and expressing their opinions on social media. It takes a specific type of person to go on youtube and do rants on any topic, let alone feminism, so there's bound to be a few handfuls of assholes that are disproportionately vocal. The same could be said about animal rights activists, how come we only see the insane PETA blood-throwing building-fire-combing idiot-commercial-making activists? Any activist issue is gonna have the few extremely-vocal abrasive "figureheads".

Ok trying to parse these fragments...
I just think your threshold for what constitutes hateful and extreme is too low.
maybe you should listen to Emma Watson's speech again.

Because every guy, enlightened or not, says,'no, I'm not like those butt jobs.'

Heh, I think he meant to type "nut jobs", but "Butt jobs" sounds so much better.

I'm not sure I understand either sides ruffling on this one? Seems she pointed out that video games have a particular bent, which they invariably do, being designed for and marketed to teenage boys by and large. I checked out her website, watched as much of her boring ass video as I could, and then threw my hands in the air...lol...
What gives? What's extreme about her position..does it come later in her videos or earlier in what she's written? Catch me up?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Was Metroid, a sexist video game? 
Thunderfoot was OK while posting his science videos, creationism debunks, etc. Yet, he waged war against Rebecca Watson, PZ Myers and other Atheism+ dumbfucks, wich is OK, but he took it a mile too far by overgeneralization.
Pretty much like Dawkins, he should've kept doing what he knows and does best.

Metroid wasn't just sexist, it was racist. A game where all you do is shoot and murder members of one specific race just because they're different blobby-looking beings? Disgusting~

That's what a racist would say! Equal rights for metroids.
