Doesn't surprise me at all. There's been studies that the same actions/mannerisms from babies were interpreted in different ways by caregivers as well I think (like if a baby wanted attention, the 'pink' babies were cuddled and cooed at and the 'blue' babies were played with and tickled).

No, it's not a competition about who has it worse. And no offence, but I think you might be basing your views about feminism based on stuff you've read here on Jezebel or tumblr, or wherever. It's not about man-hating. I'm not going to deny there's not some toxic views flying around from both 'sides', on the cesspit…

"Actually she didn't keep her promise since it's taken much much longer than she claimed in her kick starter and also thoroughly researched? what a joke."

That's not the same as hostility and a backlash. (While I'll admit there's plenty of indifference, there's a lot of negative strong feeling as…

...shallow stereotypes?

I think part of the point is that it's so easy to do, no?

There's a sliver of hope, I think. While there's a disappointing backlash of childish misogyny amongst the gaming community, there's also more awareness fermenting. Indy games are producing interesting things, and there are quite a few breakthrough hits from this quarter. Also, a lot of the 'old school' generation…

Yep, he is made of both awesome and win. Link to the inclusion of gay and bisexual characters in Dragon Age post:

Minecraft is not 'a boys game', in the same way that lego bricks aren't gender oriented (though granted, the lego people can be which is probably comparable to Steve). Those little toe-rags need a stern talking to.
