sure, and i'm pretty certain that that's patricia's issue (and mine, and others') - there's nothing inherent about the medium of video games that is limited in appeal to white men; but it's not surprising that white guys are disproportionately into games when they're disproportionately created by other white dudes. If…

sure, women can discriminate against men too, but discrimination can only go so far when it's not accompanied by power. and men have had way more of it over the years than women (uh, i'm pretty sure women weren't 'pushing' men into the 'decision making roles' - those were some pretty sweet roles!). This is the same…

look, i appreciate that you're engaging on this topic without being dickish, and I apologize if I was overly rude/snarky at any point. But i can assure you that i'm neither stubborn or cowardly. Look, I already made it clear that in this specific instance, there is absolutely no need for the answer to the rhetorical…

yeah dude, you totally got me! oh wait, that is actually a good question. i mean, the percentage of african americans in the gaming industry is vanishingly small, but i assume that you think that reflects the fact that black people just aren't as good at making games as other races, right? EVERYTHING WITHIN SOCIETY IS…

I'm pretty sure that 'revenge' just = not having literally every aspect of culture tailored towards their specific interests.

so just to be clear, you actually think that there is some sort of innate quality within videogames that makes them more relevant to white males than any other group?

i'm just curious - you do understand that sexism, like racism, doesn't have to be a conscious, reprehensible act? it can reflect societal biases/larger areas of inequality. For the record, i think that it's quite clear that Patricia (and most others commenting on this) don't think that this was a case of the former. I…

'diet dumbass'

come on - 'this isn't important, because i say so' 'there aren't that many women in key positions, and this is something that is totally unworthy of investigation because it's just the way things are'. how on earth is it 'injecting' gender-inequality issues to point out that there there was not a woman to be seen at…

holy shit, this is 'libel' now? no-one is suggesting any of the things that you are alleging. you are tilting at windmills.

well, it's clearly not 'obvious' to everyone. i don't see why you get to be the arbiter of what is worthy of discussion. once again, where does patricia lay blame on anyone in particular, or even mention the word sexism? she's just pointing out something that struck her (and others, clearly) as unusual/worthy of…

WHO THE FUCK IS SUGGESTING THAT THEY PUT A WOMAN UP JUST FOR THE SAKE OF DOING IT? jesus fucking christ. no one AT ALL thinks that people who aren't qualified for jobs should be doing them. the point of this article is to highlight that for whatever reason, there is a huge lack of representation of women in this area.…

i love that you actually think this is an amazing burn. you're so smart bro, you totally made a relevant and original point! -EXAGGERATED EYEROLL-

no no, you don't understand. their whole shtick only works if they have a 100% commitment to not even remotely engaging with any of the things people are actually saying. its too much fun to attack ridiculous ideas that no one at any point has even come close to suggesting!

my guess is that she's just a 'dumbass feminist' who thinks that this IS an interesting topic, like many other people who read this site. you, on the other hand, are clearly a straightforward dumbass. 'dumbass classic', if you will.

when did she say those were her 'final thoughts' or the only ones she had? good lord. so just to be clear, your actual complaint is 'please don't scrutinize aspects of this event, especially ones that don't jibe with my personal interests' - that's an awesome formula for interesting writing about games! if that's what…

I like how 'writes articles about a topic that i don't think is important' = hatred. 's ok, i hate you for being a stupid fuck.

oh my god, you are the actual biggest fucking dipshit on the planet. hooray for you!

yeah, if you're saying that people are 'butt hurt', you're pretty much just letting everyone know that you're A. not interested in having an actual conversation with them, and B. a fucking dolt.
