“nearly all of which boil down to “Girls! Yuck!”” Just goddamnit avclub. Have you actually read any of the criticisms? Follow the debates, the threads, the reviews and sure, there are some assholes (though, the anti girls one, this is clearly kids baiting you and, like the Left always does, we took the goddamn bait)…
