Gamers are awful people. Full stop. In fact, nerds as a whole are pretty terrible.

In the past 5 hours "talking" to these people I have learned that criticism equals censorship, sexual objectification isn't sexism, and using Sarkeesian's materials in college courses is tantamount to indoctrination of college students... Because you would give someone an 'F' for disagreeing with your assigned…

This is entirely tangential (for what it's worth, I agree with everything you said re: Sarkesian), but do you have any of the lectures or materials for that class online? Because it sounds totally fascinating.

"What in the actual fuck is wrong with the rest of you?"

I've convinced one guy that Anita never says that games are sexist or create sexism by asking him to provide the quotes and telling how he misinterpreted them. It's a serious case of reading comprehension, sadly. Plus, I guess they don't really watch her videos, but those of pro-GG Youtubers who "explain" what she…

My sister had to sign hers in menstrual blood, and take her weekly turn at walking back and forth in front of the windows in her underwear carrying a sign saying "I WON'T FUCK YOU, VIRGIN, YOU SUCK." It was hard, but she did it for the sisterhood.
