The cycle of a female-created show has started:

I know that people here on Jez seem to have some issues with Diablo Cody but god, I loved Juno. She writes dialogue like no one else.

Thank you, SeaAnemone. This shit was getting too depressing. Your levity has saved my bacon. Metaphorically.

Having a cat who sits on command has saved my bacon many times. Literally. She gets into my bacon, I say sit, and bam. Bacon saved.

The solution is to just have one book with all these tips. A lot of the girls' options already go hand in hand with the boys'.

Your second paragraph isn't quite right; Kickstarter's terms of service don't say that you can be sued. Whether or not this class action lawsuit would actually work is questionable in major ways. First and foremost, the developers are supposedly still working on the game, it is just that the devs are doing it in…

Making a game is no joke.

People getting mad at him are incredibly ignorant for multiple reasons.

I completely disagree with King's reading of Duvall's acting, and I think her take on the character had a lot of depth, intelligence, and resilience to it. Actually, considering that Kubrick made The Shining into a pretty transparent study on domestic abuse and Shelly Duvall's Wendy ended up escaping, I can't help…

I'm sorry, did I specifically call you a social justice warrior or a person with an agenda?

Actually, my point about Lifetime was to illustrate a double standard. If we're supposed to share your views and get outraged about the depictions of women in male-orientated games like GTA (after all, isn't that the point of writing and displaying an opinion article publicly?), should we not also hold such scrutiny…

Sorry. I'm not as focused on labeling people as you seem to be. :)

I don't know their reasoning for it but it's ultimately their creative vision. I saw a middle-aged mafia-esque, family man, a psychology-hillbilly and a young guy from "the hood." The race thing completely flew over my head on that one.

I wasn't under the impression women were forced to play games targeted toward male players.

What am I representing beyond the opinions of a single person? Should the world change to accommodate me simply because I have an opinion and can complain about it?

I've been playing games since the Atari 2600 days and I've never faced any incidences of prohibitively exclusionary actions from male players. My female coworkers and I often game together (we're even in a guild in Guild Wars 2) and we've never been told "Girls don't play these games so get out" by anyone. Ever. Does…

Ah, okay, I can understand the desire not to be spoken for.

I asked him. His response made me laugh:

My main question is: Who cares how a game where you can beat hookers to death to recoup your finances treats women ...or any game for that matter?
