I like this a lot. My go-to base for a movie Batmobile has always been the Cadillac 16 with some custom armoring and the like.

Did Marvel fall into the same 90s revival that’s consumed DC? I mean, we’ve got a uniform that’s all unnecessary pouches (on his gloves) and a shield that’s extreme and can cut people or something. What am I even seeing, Cap?
None of the hundred or so developers I work with every day think anything good about the GamerGhazi folks. They've won nothing except further retreat into their preferred state of self-marginalization.
Your apology is accepted.
And when they do, they also get death threats and rape threats. I'm sorry, but when did media criticism suddenly become a bad thing? Because you're going to need to tell every English class ever that they should stop reading and examining literature for themes and motifs. I mean, that's one way to make education…
Quoting subtext is not misquoting. Revealing implied connotations is something that people do in textual analysis, which is a skill that media critics like Anita Sarkeesian and the people who work for this site develop so that they can be thoughtful consumers instead of thoughtless consumers.
Women don't make games? That's news to all the women developers out there, like the ones mentioned in this article.

When you get to the end of a sentence and realize you're wrong, it's okay to just delete the unfinished comment instead of adding an ellipsis.
Yes. That sounds so much worse than systemic sexism and threats of violence, assault, and rape. I mean, can you imagine not being able to mindlessly consume media and having to think about it? What if the art world did that? What if people had to not only read books, but discuss them and consider imagery and symbolism…
Seem? Certain people? I got news for you. Saying, "maybe women should form their own studio and make their pink games for girls" doesn't seem sexist to certain people. It is sexist as an objective fact. You imply that women should be segregated into their own studio because they and what they want are not "main…
To my knowledge, Microsoft has a rep as the leading purveyors of dudebrogaming. While they've made steps to at least sound more inclusive of indie devs, they haven't done anything to sound more inclusive of women gamers or challenge the myth that "guys buy more games" or "games with girls don't sell." A myth believed…
