That's the grand question, man, and it has such a simple answer. If you're upset with Kotaku or Gamespot or GameInformer or whatever, stop reading or, at least, stop taking them seriously. They could easily just watch trailers or gameplay videos and form their own opinions - it's what I do, anyway.

Oh, the "fake feminists" started it? Not the ex who enlisted a bunch of clowns to attack and vilify a woman based solely on the notion that she'd maybe slept with some guys and those guys may have written about her game? Those people jumped at the chance to excoriate Zoe Quinn and when they rightly got called on their…

Having lived exactly that: not like this.

GamerGate is simultaneously the dumbest internet "movement" I've ever seen and one of the most vile. Anyone who identifies with it is complicit in the rampant misogyny and death threats, all in the name of making writers about VIDEO GAMES hold to the standards of "real" journalism (which is nonsense, and gives video…

Zines and family reunions

Even though it seems like she really loves her daughter, she deserves a ton of money given the blatant malpractice.

I had no idea Raven Symone and Lindsay Lohan were pulling George W. Bush's strings, let alone neo-cons. That's a Disney Channel movie I want to see.

Amy's cat children released this statement:

lip balm? lip primer? no no no. the key to this look is to keep it matte, and to have an even skintone to contrast it with (or else the dark lipstick will just highlight any shadows/blemishes/redness and make the whole effect "dirty"). So first, apply a good, matte foundation. Then use a (matte) highlighter (such as…

This was the best thing I read all day and brought me genuine happiness.

HA! I love you.

I think the idea is that through education and increasing awareness about sexual assault, and by showing compassion for victims rather than suspicion and doubt, the ability for rapists to operate in society's willful blind spot is removed. While rape is obviously the fault of the rapists, society sort of enables them…

Oof. Is it just me or does it not look particularly good? Kind of reminds me of the vaguely vapid-expressioned and dead-eyed creepy statue someone made of Britney Spears giving birth.

I think you're spot-on with your concerns. I also think that Heather and Jessica over at gofugyourself.com are going to have a field day with all this, and I'll guiltily admit that I. can't. wait.

I really dislike the "Women's Secret Battles" banner. There is something unnecessarily melodramatic about it for one, and two, there is a rather disturbing tendency to view eating disorders as strictly a "female" problem. I saw one of my male friends nearly die from bulimia, and no one believed he had it when he…

Ughhhhhhhh.

No comment on how Deadspin published the Kate Upton photos and got 658,000 page views? No moral outrage over your own employer Gawker Media profiting from this sex crime? No comment on how you couldn't find basically any other reputable site to actually publish the leaked photos except Gawker Media? No comment on…

Good thing no one asked you.

Yep. The funny thing is, I found this out because I have a nervous tic that I developed where I counter my tendency to clench my jaw by kind of moving it around randomly and I had someone ask me if I was high. "um...no? Why?" "Well, you kind of look like you have coke jaw..." "Oh... um. Crap. No, I'm just weird and…

I am also familiar with the Ehhhhhh source. But this is exactly right. Think peanut butter on the roof of the mouth sort of movement.
