Having begun doing freelance work for fighting game tournaments, part of the job is keeping an eye on Twitch stream chatrooms, and it’s always all hands on deck whenever a female is competing. I would like to think it’d be best for our hobby/profession/the industry as a whole to include as many people as we can, but…

I babysit a 3 year old. I can tell you that even if they don’t know what a thing is, if they can’t have it, they’ll throw a tantrum. Same exact emotional maturity applies to grown ass men.

Oh Doc, no... You poor thing :( You didn’t have to prove anything to us!... There, there.
