The green dye was also popular in wallpaper, children's toys and even food. They used different compounds, but they were all increadibly toxic. There were reports of children wasting away in nurseries with green wallpaper and ppl becoming ill after eating pudding dyed green, but it still took forever to ban arsenic…

Ahem:

Some of the bottle-green ("Vaseline") glass of the Depression era also used amounts of uranium to get it that colour, and as a result, it fluoresces under black light:

Ria,ye forgot to mention the Crinoline. In more than one ocassion it caused women on piers to be swept up and carried out to sea by gust of winds, where they promptly drowned due to having a goddamn steel cage tied to their waists. Not to mention it caught fire very easily and in one particular time it caused the…

I thoroughly enjoyed this article. I would also love to see even more fashion trends that were popular but caused more damaged that no time could reverse.

What research, pray tell? "It would be completely non nonsensical to have different make and or female characters and models." What research needs to be done in regards to a close minded opinion?

Actually nothing you said is true. The fact that you think equal representation in mass media isn't important is extremely telling. Lemme take a stab in the dark and guess you're a white male, of course the issue doesn't matter to you because you're always the default.

Two genders?! Gender neutral clothing?!?

Actually, 48% of players being female would indicate that there is no clear majority, since there is likely a margin of error of around 5%.

Holy shit you're getting flak from the cavemen.

I know I did (and do) everything possible to make sure when I'm playing online/multiplayer games that strangers I'm playing with won't know I'm a woman. I suspect I'm far from the only one. There's only so much gendered bullshit a person can put up with, even while gaming.

You are my favorite.

49% seems right. Out of 12 WoW players I know, only one is male. I'd say 2/3 of the XCOM and Call of Duty players I know are female. Maybe women just don't bother with the surveys?

And that's why I can't remember the last Gears of War I played, nor have I ever picked up Uncharted. White guy with brown hair waving guns, right? The last Rambo movie was.... 500 dudes and one woman? Didn't bother with that either. I saw the former when it was called Doom, saw the ladder when it was The…

There were men that didn't want to play Liberation because they played as a Black woman, you can look at the comments about the game on this very website. The thing is everyone that isn't a straight white guy, don't get much choice in playing games as characters that look like us , and the world they live in react to…

The Entertainment Software association puts out a white paper every year about the demographics of gamers.

trying to downplay women's engagement in games as an excuse to exclude us as playable protagonists seems like something someone very against or threatened by the idea of women as protagonists would make.

Okay. You are stupid then. No prob! Sorry to have bothered you. It's no use talking to stupid people.

But funny enough, mobile puzzle and trivia games which are not marketed as gendered make up the most played games. As if 55% of gamers feel comfortable playing them because they aren't being alienated. The ESA did not include facebook games. Mobile games are games, and gamers of all genders play them.

What exactly…

How do you explain how astrology knows my very nature from my birth sign?
