huzzah... Now if we can get Bill Finger a Co-creator credit on Batman ?...

Ask me what's a female video game character, and I can reply with Lara Croft. Lilith. Maya. April. Zoey. Samus. And of course, Cate Archer. A.K.A. not victims.

There's nothing wrong with "men liking certain things", except...

One: that's kind of reductive, and assumes that all (or even most) men are a hive-mind about this sort of thing. In my experience, that's not really the case
Two: we can like things that are nonetheless kind of harmful. Someone was going to see all those…

Dude. The whole "cherry-picking data" thing can sometimes be a legitimate complaint in science, because no one has access to absolutely all relevant data and the data are often opaque to begin with, so there's a definite risk that unscrupulous scientists will try to pass off an atypical result as a typical one (or…

It wasn't journalists constantly accosting Roger Ebert when he declared games aren't art. It was probably the same people in GG. The modus operandi is similar.

Never heard her say anything even close to

It's funny how she's been "called out" so many times for alleged cherry picking and yet she still has enough credibility to get a New York Times op-ed and a spot on one of the highest-rated talk shows in North America, while her detractors scream and cry in obscurity on their little image boards.

It's not about glorification, exactly. And I understand the argument about villains being bad guys, and all that. But...

Well, when you see writers using the victimization of helpless women (often sexually, but sometimes through non-sexual violence) over and over and over again as a shortcut to signify villainy, it…

Ah, but see, it's not simply about the fact that women are killed. It's the fact that those women are used as, essentially, props. Worse yet, they're usually sexualized props, adding a weird sexual angle to the violence committed against them. Often, it's a "kick the dog" moment, where an agency-free female character…

If her arguments are shallow and dishonest, it should be trivially easy to provide an intellectually rigorous, honest rebuttal of them. I have yet to see anyone actually do that.

I've seen some critiques take (nuanced) issue with some of her points, and that's good! That's how this sort of discussion is supposed to…

Gamers: "We want games to be considered Art!"

The Paul Jenkins/Jae Lee Inhumans maxi-series is primed and ready for a movie. So friggin' epic and awesome.

She quickly moved on to another thing she loves: Barry Manilow. ("Oh my god I LOVE IT WHEN BARRY MODULATES.")

There was no 'GamerGate', there was no movement, there was not a huge outcry.

I am genuinely delighted

i am right there with you. This brought back instant memories of listening to The W while playing FF9 in middle school. Life was too good back then

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?

You are my favorite kind of person
