Deanne Smith is a pretty good Comedian. I saw her perform a year ago in Toronto. It was one hilarious night. This song is quite old for her, and I'm glad to see it making the internet rounds finally.

the Smash Bros. Animal Crossing Villager really reminds me of my 3 year old son, right down to the joyful mischief gleam in his eyes. i'd post a photo, but I'm afraid of what a meme might do to the kid.

I DIED. Particularly since the apparition of the cat. This is so sweet I'm going to get diabetes.

ARGH. no one generalized it that way. We all know plenty of great male gamers. The point was that it happens, it's not an isolated case of people acting that way and it's a symptom of a larger problem. No one's saying EVERY male gamer is like that. Just that there's a tendency among male gamers to mistreat women who…

I'm going to make one last reply to you here because the other two people are getting a little too upset, and it's only fair that I acknowledge your response since yours was the comment that I did attack in the first place.

Yep, the internet is still full of nerds who think they're superior for, what exactly? A cute girl says she's a nerd and creates something she loves to share with the internet and you assholes have to berate her at every turn. Getting real sick of your shit internet. Let people be who they want to be.

I'm going to side with PrometheanLucifer, she's kept her composure and has an aura of composure about herself. Breux is a cynical choch and you Grymnir are a cynical chode. PrometheanLucifer, keep rocking that voice of reason :)

The mere fact that you're responding this way suggests that I've struck a nerve. You're going through a lot of rhetorical effort here in order to defend something someone else said by deflecting my criticism away and trying to imply that I'm overreacting. I'm not. I am very dispassionate about this right now. Why?…

Feminism is simply the idea that women's status as people is equal to men's. It's not really that ground breaking. And if you don't believe that's true, then yes you are a misogynist. Nice to meet you.

It was fairly easy. First, he put the nerdy in "nerdy" girls in quotation marks, implying that all girls are a monolithic culture that doesn't include nerdiness, and that any attempt to appear as such is disingenuous. Whether or not that is true for some girls, it isn't true for all of them. Therefore, I can…

Did we forget useless comments from socially inept misogynists who appear to hold themselves in an esteem most others would not agree they deserve? No, I see you've got that covered, as well. Keep up the good work.

It's not meant to be Ulysses. She isn't entertaining the pretension that this one ukulele song is going to satiate all of mankind's broken-hearted yearning for a glimpse of truth or meaning in this mortal existence. It's a silly song. That's it. I've written them, chances are you've written them even if it's just…

I love all of this!

Fixed player characters can allow for more narrative control and plot development. Creating a character model that fills a generic 'fits anything' set up is a bit different. Hence incorporating a female character into GTA would be both more difficult and more powerful, because it would require crafting a narrative…

Mass effect and dragon age are outliers, and incidentally made by the same company. They are also primarily linear RPGs that allow you to pick the order in which you do a lot of quests. Something I wouldn't consider very sandbox, by that is just me. Also bioware does such a good job of leaving the choice of gender to…

*crosses fingers*

This is a good point any just so the guys are clear on this:

For part 1, the ability of the person to control the cause of their suffering has some bearing on its depth, in my opinion. Geek suffering is based on chosen hobbies and interests and the choice made to pursue them. Female suffering is based on unchosen attributes from birth. That alone makes one more unjust.

In my personal experience, a noticeable percentage of male geeks have always resented me.

I would hope that they would take real, living breathing 3D women who are interested in the same fandoms as evidence to the contrary, instead of further nurturing these ideas about YOU that were made up by OTHER men (who are the real people demeaning you, btw). You are believing the men who criticize you and rejecting…
