This may be a regional culture thing. I’m from Texas and it’s pretty common, especially with women. I actually don’t know a woman who doesn’t begin and end a get together or conversation with a hug. Of course you should always get consent before hugging someone.

Considering these complaints were also levied at Lorde and she had a similar confusion surrounding it, I would say that yes, being an Aussie has more to do with this than anyone will give her credit for.

Everyone's so angry about this and I'm honestly just so pleased right now. Exclusivity means M$ will actually give TR attention this year; very excited to see how much support they throw behind the title.

That's awesome actually. I'd been avoiding the show because I didn't want to be disappointed. May pick it up now. :)

80% of female gamers play Nintendo games. That's the difference you're seeing.

It's conceivable. Just because *you* can't see it, doesn't mean it's not objectively conceivable.

This comic is saying that only white men play video games, which is complete bullshit.

Because men are totally capable of ripping a dinosaur in half with their bare hands.

Yes. That's why Mass Effect sold over 10 million units.

40% of gamers are female.

Your argument is invalid.

ahhhhhh that explains that. thank you!

... I am trying to figure this out because I didn't need a code. :( My X1 just said "HEY YOU WANNA PLAY THIS BETA?" and I went uh hell ya and it took 10 minutes and I was playing.

From everything I've read, e-cigs do in fact emanate a small amount of nicotine.

I'm not sure what Feminism has to do with taking Molly, but for the rest of that, what I basically mean is that if you are going to complain about how all Miley does is scream for attention, why the hell are you giving her attention?

Eh, my comment was incredibly general and doesn't necessarily apply to every single article on Jezebel nor every single commentator. Glad to know that y'all are in the "Oh Miley, just stop." camp rather than the "Think of the children!" camp though.

This is delightfully fun and ridiculous. I really don't get the pearl clutching over Miley... any way you spin it, complaining about her makes you part of the problem.

The problem with this assessment is that ESO isn't a WoW clone. It isn't really what we would consider an "MMO." It's gotten to the point where I keep calling it the "Elder Scolls Multi-Player" instead of "MMO." I was watching all the demo videos and stuff this month and it seems just like everything I've ever wanted…

They are not planning on having microtransactions in the game.

Yes, because Miley is a complete asshole to everyone she meets and has absolutely no goals or creative talent.

You do; it seems like you're not an asshole, so this probably has more to do with your own behavior programming than anything else. We all internalize patriarchal norms, there's nothing shameful in that. There is, however, shame in knowing that you are probably wrong about your judgement but continuing to have said…
