"There is no sexism in the industry and women are welcome! Now excuse me, a woman is saying something I don't agree with so I need to go threaten her into silence because no one* should question or criticize the hobby that I've built up to be the central pillar to my identity."

A lot of people have a hard time wrapping their head around the idea that terrorists can be domestic and aren't all "angry foreigners from somewhere around the Middle East."

That is brilliant but also so sad because how true it is.

I feel somewhat vindicated now.

Ah yes, god forbid they have to start from the beginning without relying on pure hatred to get and keep things moving. They might have to *gasp* properly articulate and work hard to accomplish their goals otherwise!

I know, right? They didn't give a damn about how publishers can (and do) easily blackmail journalists to praise crap games because if they don't that journalist/the publication they work for will never be allowed to do advanced reviews from that AAA publisher again. It's been going on for over 20 years but with nary a…

Gaters always sound like MRA's to me when it comes to denial about how their group is based on hate. Oh, it's just a "loud minority" that actively goes out and harasses/threatens/issues death threats to women but your movement is completely legit and for the good of everyone? Excuse me while my eyes roll out of my…

So for once I didn't have customers get overtly mad at me for being out of something on Thanksgiving morning! I had a few that were clearly pissed but they didn't take it out on me, which was a pleasant surprise.

Exactly! It probably does suck at times being treated as a potential threat, but strangers aren't obligated to put your feelings ahead of their comfort and/or safety, and any decent guy who is familiar with the sheer amount of harassment and assaults women deal with throughout their lives wouldn't blame women for…

And that's exactly why I have no fucks to give to guys who complain about how they're unfairly persecuted because strange women are cautious or avoid them out in public even though they'd "never, ever rape a female."

I was sad to see that the video didn't mention the (possible) sound error when Mufasa is hanging onto the cliff begging Scar to help him. At first there's a whisper-ish "brother" that isn't animated and which sounds like and off-stage script prompt before a more pronounced and animated "brother!" is heard. It could…

Welp, I think we finally figured out how to deal with all the bloody "but the menz" trolls who love to derail everything and go around in pointless circles — just charge them $20 every time they ask something stupid or state their opinion as fact and someone responds with actual facts. Trolling probably won't be as…

You reminded me about how I ranted at my boyfriend about pockets more than once, and while he was sympathetic it was obvious he never dealt with anything other than giant man pockets.

That's one of the reasons I love it when the weather gets cooler. All of a sudden I can carry my shit around easily and divide stuff up into pockets so there's no need to dig around for something specific.

As a fellow lady who has a nose that runs at the slightest change in temperature, I fully know this pain! Even my work pants — which are supposed to be functional — can barely hold a single tissue in the pocket, and even then there's a bulge since it needs to be balled up for it to not stick out.

This has been one of my biggest complaints with women's clothing since I can remember. Bags can be handy but more often than not — particularly in warmer weather — I just don't want to deal with carrying around something extra or worrying about hitting someone/something if I'm in a crowded area.

I loved those cargo pants! More than once I went around carrying my diskman, a medium sketchpad and pencil, a thick paperback book, wallet, keys, snacks, and occasionally a can of pop. All in my pants!

No small part of me wonders what would happen if the mother didn't starve herself to death. Given how brilliant octopi are when there is no passing along information between generations, I can't help but think about what if they could pass along and store information between multiple generations.

But see, she TOOK MONEY (received donations without force or coercion) from HELPLESS PEOPLE (people who agreed with her and willingly supported her cause) to PAINT THE INDUSTRY AS EVIL (point out problems in the industry and how to fix them while acknowledging it's possible to like games despite their problematic…

No doubt. All she's doing is pointing out the excesses and double-standards in games and questioning why it has to be that way while fully acknowledging that it's possible to like something and still be critical of it. Yet to no small part of the gaming community, that makes it perfectly reasonable to harass her,…
