I know, right? If you're solid in your faith then this stuff doesn't really affect you.
In short, depends on you.
How have I not seen this until now??
Yeah... It's pretty obvious that this place is designed to be a Holier than America 'Murica.

I gather that Savjosh was more less retorting that rather than point out both responses to her initial announcement of 'Tropes V Women in Video Games' she only pointed out the backlash, using it to fuel the fire of her cause.
