One of the leading figures in the GamerGate scandal is Anita Sarkeesian, a critic who has been vocal on the problems that face gaming when it comes to how they portray women.
As a result of her criticisms, she's faced the ire of keyboard warriors and gamers on social media who have been going so far as to send her death threats. She joined Stephen Colbert to discuss all the pretty terrible things that have happened to her since the scandal broke.
In case you've missed the whole thing, this is a good way to catch up on it, with a twist of humour that you expect from Colbert that still balances the serious side of things quite well. If you're up to date on it, then hearing from Sarkeesian, who has been driven from her own home by threats against her, is a fairly important addition to the story.
