But hold on a sec. I thought all of Anita's footage was "stolen" from let's plays on Youtube?
Prior to the most recent video, almost all of it was either promotional footage or taken without being credited from a LP video (in these cases, the specific LP video has been located).
The one segment that thunderf00t goes on about does seem to be her own footage, or at least no one has been able to find another source, and as thunderf00t said, virtually no one actually kills the strippers. The game penalizes you for it (at this point someone will point out that you get some points for hiding the body, but you don't get enough if the person wasn't a combatant to make up for the loss and you lose an end of the level bonus. Likewise no one actually playing the game normally drags them around in a big circle like that (especially given that there's a body dump box right there), for the same reason that virtually no one uses the portal gun in Portal to take long lingering several minute stares at Chell's ass every test chamber (side note: I wonder if they'd agree that means Valve is complicit in the perverse male gaze of gamers using a carefully concocted mix of platforming and sexual arousal, because they don't explicitly stop you from doing that?).
Her argument in that entire segment is ridiculous too, since it amounts to the premise that dev explicitly encourage anything that isn't expressly forbidden, and how noncombatant female NPCs need to be incapable of having violence done to them regardless of how male noncombatants are treated because violence is worse when it's done to women.
You know, like how the US government explicitly works to encourage binge drinking using a carefully concocted mixture of chemical dependence and sexual arousal (through not expressly forbidding advertisements including attractive women) to the point of fatal alcohol poisoning because there is no law expressly restricting the amount one can drink.
