So Tyga should just wait a couple more months then he's not gross anymore?

Are you just trying to bait me with this insane post?

With racism in the US, we're just not as far as we assumed we were. Stats like the increasing occurrence of interracial relationships could be used to show that the US has more relaxed attitudes about race than it did 30 years ago, but the country is still pretty obsessed with race.

Ok I concede to your point about make up. I remember when we had blackouts because of an ice storm a year ago, and a female colleague of mine did not wear makeup that day due to the lack of hot water. I thought the same thing "Is she tired?"

Yeah I still think those are first world problems. My male & female friends who work in financial services definitely have to put more effort into their personal appearance than my friends in accounting. I only have 1 lawyer friend, but he's absolutely obsessed with his appearance.

Fair enough. I'd agree that there are institutional forces behind the marketing of video games to (young) men, I just don't think the same applies with Comp Sci/programming careers. And funny enough I think the reason behind that is what you effectively point out, social factors that steer women away from tech.

Growing up in the 90s I definitely didn't see many girls playing video games in my community and just assumed girls just didn't like them. But I will say, to Anita Sarkeesian's credit I have come to understand how gaming became viewed as a "boys" pastime, and how that feedback loop btn developers and the market made…

I starred this post but definitely disagree. You can't lump programming and gaming communities together to start. You'd also have to explain how exactly Comp Sci has supposedly become MORE misogynistic/sexist in 30 years as if the 1980s were better years for gender equality.

Not hot enough to play a cheerleader in a Hollywood movie - epitome of 1st world problems

It would be fair to point out to your girlfriend that if guys were fighting in video games they way they fight in real life, they'd probably be dressed like boxers/MMA fighters etc, i.e. no shirt. But since we're talking video games...

By unbiased I mean free from obvious conflicts of interest duh!

Well, if you've been relying on GM for your gamergate news then yeah you'd think they're all raging misogynists. As someone who plays tons of games, I took a closer look into it closer out of curiosity, have watched tons of youtube videos with discussions both for and against it and find it's more nuanced than that. …

Unpopular opinion, ethics in gaming journalism is definitely important, and I think a few gaming sites have adopted some ethics policies since this whole GG thing started. I mean I pay about $80 after tax for a video game and if I'm doing it based on reviews those reviews better be unbiased.

True, colour was not in the OP. I incorrectly assumed the poster was an American who was not familiar with a British grammar convention and deeming it as incorrect. But if the poster was American that colour part would have made sense

Haha ok my bad, I assumed incorrectly.

That's just the British school system, who would have known that there is a variation in the rules of grammar taught depending on the country you went to school in? BTW it's "colour" not "color"

nice console set
