Ding ding ding! This is exactly the situation with me and my hubby. I don't have a "room full", but I do have "boy shelves" on our bookcases. And he has his girl shelves. On either side of our bedroom, there's a Kusanagi wall scroll and an Emeraldas wall scroll. And we both have artwork up around our computers…
That's absolutely true. However, their across-the-board, brook-no-nonsense approach works regardless of how diverse you are, I think. And I think it's something that could be applied to other cons.
I think this is a good step for PAX, but personally I like the way Yaoicon handles things. Teach everybody respect for everybody, right up front, and let people know that douchenozzley shenanigans will not be tolerated. Have panels that are diverse and attract everybody, all promoted equally. Acknowledge and accept…
I'm pretty sure I rewound that part on the VHS tape about eleventy-scrillion times.
I have scrapbooks from when I was a teenager with cut-out pictures from Sassy Magazine of him in 21 Jump Street mode. I'd fallen for him right at the start. =D
I am not a regular Jezebel reader or commentor, nor am I a "femi-nazi" (I avoid the word "feminism" like a plague).
Yeah, I've heard that as well.
As somebody that's watched the show for the last 9 years, I thought it was brilliant. Did we really want to see episode on episode of the mother being "one of the gang", and then watching her get sick and die? I didn't. I thought it was perfectly done.
I saw these guys live in NYC a million years ago. They were awesome.
Yes, because I can customize her to something that fits perfectly in my head. I have daydreams like that all the time; it's the most natural thing in the world for me to simply transfer those fantasies onto an avatar in a game.
Came here to post this. Nice job.
There definitely seems to be greater variance in most games for female characters over the male; that's one of the reasons most male avatars in games don't interest me. That, and the fact that a lot of them are just meatslabs.
I have arthritis and I often use videogames to manage my pain. They're a great distraction; the pain just sort of fades into background white noise.
I always play a woman because my avatar is my fantasy extension of me. She does what I cannot do.
