Very easily. Now beat it kid. Get outta here.

He's drawn you in the comic before, hasn't he?

Nice try at gaslighting the issue and also trying to change the subject to something else.

Except that video games have social justice issues too. It's not an OR statement where it can be about video games or it can be about social justice, but not both.

Amen to that. I recall people picking on Lewis "Linkara" Luvhaug and David Willis because they discuss women's issues in their shows / comics. Their answer was always "Nope. Not gonna stop. Gonna keep talking about it. I may be a man, but at least I'm not a bigoted moron."

Your assumption is based on the notion that women will always be generally less interested in video games than men and that there is nothing that can be done about it.

So does that mean that facebook and mobile games are inferior to console and ordinary PC titles? Are they like 2/3 of a game in comparison to other games?

But it's a Catch-22 really.

And how do you know that?

Tell me about it.

"When the answer is more than obvious"???

He's got you there Graith. She did speak with Kellee Santiago to get more input and feedback from yesterday's article. While yesterday's was more like simply a report that developers were tweeting their observations of the press conference, today's was definitely coming from a much "stronger base".

You were close JD, but I got to agree with some of the others here about the false equivalency. You are correct that just because she's a woman speaking on a topic regarding women in gaming doesn't automatically mean that she's right about everything.

One of the things that worries me about the reactions seen here on Kotaku is that I can't tell if they are indicators of a commentator's age. Are these kids in their early-to-mid teens who are getting all huffy and spouting nonsense? Or are these grown adults that actually think this way (and by grown, I mean 21+)?

Here Here!

You definitely make a good point there and I do feel like there was more information and research done for this post than the last one. The previous post, however, was more of an observation as opposed to a more in depth analysis. People on Twitter, a number involved in the game industry, noticed that there were no…

Feels good to see Totilo back Patricia up on this and really stick it to the commentators. Also feels good to have some reassurance that, yes, we WERE RIGHT this entire time! :)

Aufweidersen!

Bravo Stephen! Bravo!

Easy! I fault them for not bothering to hire women into positions that matter for game development, or if they HAVE hired them into said positions, then for not having them be on stage presenting when they have been a huge part of the development of the game!
