Oh, he's an old guy? Well then there's no way in hell it took him only 98 seconds to piss.

That whole film was in Alfred's head, he had a break down after the Joker attacked the city.

DISCLAIMER: You may not agree with what I have to say here. What you read may piss you off. I'm fine with that. In fact, I'm so fine with it that I've decided that I won't even challenge what you reply back with. Why? I'm done arguing about this with people. I've heard your views and the reasoning you use to support

If someone suggests that you're doing something racist, ableist, sexist, etc., you will tend to react defensively. That's OK and natural! Take a deep breath, check your privilege, step away from the keyboard if you need to, then apologize and figure out how not to do it again. If you continue to think the person

I really hate to be dismissive,

Have you seen the shit we get for that? It's frequently worse than the original harassment and I can't get not asshole guys to say anything either for fear of being the dreaded 'white knight' or they are in complete denial the harassment happens... I'm tired of feeling like I'm shouting I can't swim in a crowded

I know I am really supposed to ignore the MRA trolls, but I am feeling sassy and I can't resist.

See, if you'd framed that as "More parents should teach their sons not to be creepy, harassing douchebags to women," it would have been a great comment. But instead you went with "women need to stop letting themselves get harassed," which is a very different argument.

I just spent the afternoon with a guy who sells WoW gold for a living. I mentioned that I've logged my fair share hours back when I was in a guild some years ago. He said "I knew women play video games too", but found the idea that I have done that unbelievable. He kept bringing it up once in a while because for some

If you think this kind of treatment of women in the game industry (whether they're in the design profession, or simply gamers themselves) isn't standard, you haven't been keeping up on the subject much at all. Yeah, there are some BIG stories that get repeated a lot (like with Anita), but there are tons of 'smaller'

Google it. There's dozens of articles about this specific issue specifically in the gaming industry. Seems like it isn't very isolated, then. I'm sure other industries have issues as well, but that doesn't make it okay for the gaming industry to have them.

I wonder how that'll be when you have a daughter.

Kind of reflects on the industry when this is not an isolated incident.

Um, well it's pretty common. That's not to say it doesn't happen elsewhere. But where's the point in just sitting back and going, "Welp, it's not my job to fix it, hurr hurr."? The game industry should strive to be better.
