When Anita Sarkeesian announced plans to do a video series exploring the portrayal of women in video games, she became the victim of a massive online attack choreographed by members of the gaming community who cast her as the “villain” in their online “game” to ruin her life. It did not go well for them. But for Anita, things ended up going very well indeed. 

You definitely want to watch the whole thing, but here are some highlights: at 1:00 she talks about why she loves video games, at 2:02 just try to imagine yourself in her shoes, at 3:45 she sticks the people attacking her under a microscope, and at 8:15 she doesn’t just win the game, she absolutely destroys it.

Watch this.

And this is why only 13% of computer science department students (on average) are sexually active. Smh.

I love her and I love what she’s doing. I remember when all of this was going on and I was horrified at the reaction. So so glad to see she’s still speaking out and doing talks on the subject.

Making HTML Purifier Work With CodeIgniter

There’s a post here about getting it to work, but it’s old. Since then, the include statements for HTML Purifier were moved to their own file. In a normal script you would include the HTMLPurifier.includes.php file, but this isn’t in line with how CodeIgniter loads libraries, so it requires some hacking to get working.

  1. Download HTML Purifier and put the contents of the library folder into your codeigniter /system/application/libraries folder.
  2. Open HTMLPurifier.includes.php and change require 'HTMLPurifier.php'; to //require 'HTMLPurifier.php';
  3. Open HTMLPurifier.php and add this just under <?php require_once('HTMLPurifier.includes.php');

And that’s all! Load with

$this->load->library('HTMLPurifier');
