Ok, but who among us can truly say they've never wanted to set someone on fire?

There was a simmering anger about people like me — "Social Justice Warriors", as they call us — who are asking for change in the game industry: a better, broader representation of characters, among other things. We're "the cancer that's killing games", and Kotaku is seen as the key enemy site, with Polygon a close…

I remember seeing those types of signs on campus when I was pregnant and found them very alarming (as in, shaken for the whole day). Not because I believe in their side at all (100% pro-choice), but really couldn't shake the images while thinking about my own baby. It opened my eyes to how little they care about…

Heres mine

In or out, air conditioning is expensive.

Hahaha yup, I feel good seeing a racist, sexist harasser get their feelings hurt. Therefore I'm exactly the same as harassers who threaten peoples lives. Get out of here with that BS. Go back to 8chan with your friends and cry about how oppressed you are.

Ohhhhhhh boy, prepare for a massive influx off #notallgamers and links to youtube videos showing you the "truth".

You wrote some interesting, fascinating analysis of Sarkeesian's work about a year and a half ago. I remember it clearly, because I felt we were on the same page at the time: http://kotaku.com/this-pretty-mu…

I wonder if part of the problem is the lack debate on gender issues in the gaming world (not that the rest of the world is enlightened, but the gaming world is particularly terrible). The only voices I seem to hear are a few feminists frusterated with the old gaurd, radical anti-feminists, and the pople who defend…

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…

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…

Okay, seriously. What in the actual fuck, folks?

I teach English at the college level; last year, I was privileged to teach ENG 230, which at my institution is a rotating (through the faculty) course that is generously labeled "Special Topics in Literature."

I taught my course, for two semesters, as "Gaming: Literary…

Presumably, some of the same people who understandably vilified Dottie Sandusky for not reporting her husband to the authorities are also slamming Ms. Grant. No matter what, the wife is wrong. The backlash against Ms. Grant is bullshit, and obscures what is most important: he admitted to abusing children. I don't give…

I'm friends with someone who was also involved with a high profile sex offender. She got SO much hate, and she really had no idea, and was victimized by the guy herself. So not cool that people assume the worst about everyone around the person.

And I'm tired of rich people (minority) running this country too.

Fuck that, I hope she gets her own show. She is the best correspondent on there by MILES.

Jessica Williams is a treasure, and I hope she'll continue to be on The Daily Show for many, many years to come.

co sleeping is fine: my infant and toddler are frequently in bed with me. THAT SAID co-sleeping with a non-parent is not okay, even if the parent is present. Boyfriends can be in the bed OR the kid, but ya gotta pick. Oy. Good luck.

As a bonus, it's hilarious and adorable to hear my two year old say "Hi Penis!" when I change his diaper in the morning.
