Even in the full quote, she doesn't say she was wrong, she just says she (supposedly) learned to hold back from telling everyone about it all the time.
"you learn how to pick and choose your battles and that sort of thing"
Does that sound like someone admitting they were wrong?
But the reality is she IS wrong. When you look for sexism, or racism, or homophobia by association, you find it where it's not. Just look at her videos. She finds it in the way avatars are dressed; she's looking at whether more or less butts are exposed; the existence of prostitutes or strip clubs in the games. Are there "enough" blacks in the videogames? Is someone trying to protect a woman? One thinks Japanese culture is completely backwards, that sort of thing...
Basically anything she can construe as sexist, racist, or homophobic is in her mind and she proves her approach in her videos. She seems incapable of looking at anything with an actual critical eye. She seems stuck on the concept that anything that can be construed as one of those things, necessarily is.
Yes, the quote is snipped, but it doesn't appear to actually be out of context...nor to not actually reflect Anita's worldview.
