Sparked by a public display of sexual harassment in 2012, GTFO pries open the video game world to explore a 20 billion dollar industry riddled with discrimination and misogyny. Every year, the gaming community grows increasingly diverse. This has led to a clash of values and women are receiving the brunt of the consequences every day, with acts of harassment ranging from name calling to death threats. Through interviews with video game creators, journalists, and academics, GTFO paints a complex picture of the video game industry, while revealing the systemic and human motivations behind acts of harassment. GTFO begins the conversation that will shape the future of the video game world.

GTFO: Get The F% Out Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
michaelangelo77777 While I can empathize with the producers, to me it came across as angry and an outright attack on men. It does very much bother me that women are depicted as sex objects, especially underage ones in the JRPGs that I love. The numbers are fudged IMO. I have been very active in the gaming community for almost 40 years, and I am always on the lookout for female gamers. Sadly, I have rarely found this demographic. There is a massive amount of different genres to attract anyone. So this narrative seems very unresearched and self serving. Not objective, just angry.
1/2Opinion&1/2Truth I just can't even start with this...Yes I know that the Internet can lead to harassment, but how is it at this level?!? Based off of ONE SINGLE EVENT, we get a film that claims to be about how women and video games equal sexual harassment, but fails horribly. The group video evidence had a women majority, WOMEN MAJORITY. It also tries to show that all male gamers are sinful little devils that hate women, which by the way is COMPLETELY BIAS. My recommendation is to just skip this film, and play games with your girlfriend. Sadly I wanted to give it a 0/10, but IMDb can only go to 1/10, so it will stay there.
stian-ohrvik How do I summarize this movie into a short review.I will start by saying that this movie is segregating it's targeted audience. The fact remains that you can't judge a group based on a few of the individuals, and this is what GTFO: Get the F&#% Out is doing.Summed up in four points. 1. It's an important documentary about girls in the gaming industry and/or culture without even acknowledging the other side. As a documentary, it's flawed because of its one-sided approach. 2. As I said above, it's creating(intended or not)a gap between the genders, where women come out as victims and men their assailants. 3. There's a lack of consistency. For example it will imply that there's a lack of female attendants for different conventions, while simultaneously showing footage of groups of people where there is a rather high ratio of women. This is not 50/50 for each gender, but the female presence is higher in their footage than what their statements would suggest. 4. There is too much generalization. The harassment that's happening in chats, lobbies and through messages is depicted as to be done by every male in the world, when in reality it is not. The gaming culture is enormous, and as a result there will be people with bad intentions or lack of understanding. I am grateful for the fact that Miranda Pakozdi referred to what went on during the Cross Assault stream as an isolated incident, giving the first impression that this harassment in topic is the work of several individuals(a large number of individuals) but not an entire gender.This topic needs to be discussed more, but I would not recommend someone who doesn't know about this beforehand to watch this movie. It's prone to ignite more rage than understanding, and therefore I give it 3 out of 10 stars.
felipeluzardo You need to keep an open mind while watching this documentary. Remember that people are just stating their opinions, and try to value them. I personally did not agree with all of the statements or world views portrayed, but still think it's important to hear them.Unfortunately it is very easy as a guy and especially if you are a gamer to become infuriated by some of the arguments (or the mere sight of Anita Sarkeesian). But if you are able to get past that you might actually discover that there are many valid points being made.I love gaming and video games and I think everyone should be able to enjoy them, man or woman. I would hate to be told I cannot do the thing I love because of my gender. That is why I think people should give this film a chance. Perhaps next time you meet a female gamer in lobby or forum you will think twice before casually making a sexist joke or comment.
