I cannot believe this a serious discussion which happening.

youlookfab is a useful blog in that the stylist's body-shape advice is quite specific and it takes into account people who want to follow, bend, or break the fashion rules

It's a makeover show that she chose to go on with the specific goal of having her personal sense of style shifted.

Agreed and maybe this is my own feelings on the matter, but I find that it puts her on a super high pedestal within the trans community as well. One of my best friend is trans and she finds herself not identifying with the fawning that happens towards Laverne since she looks less like her and more like the lead in…

Radfems that hate trans people. There. Dismissed.

Thank you!! I find this whole "goddess, flawless, perfection" thing to be really creepy and fetishizing. I've only ever seen this site do it to women of color (specifically Lupita, Laverne, and Beyonce) and it feels really gross. It turns women of color into objects to be admired rather than amazing, but flawed…

That "Goddess" on the photo really bugs me. I get that some people use it as a compliment, but it's got this awful connotation of "othering" people. She's not a magic goddess with super powers, and labeling her as such takes away from her humanity. She's just a woman. She has no magic powers helping her out. She has…

Tucked away in this issue was a brief interview with Norman Mailer, Kurt Vonnegut and Gore Vidal, I remember reading this issue and scratching my head at it's inclusion.

Did you say the same thing 7 years ago when we found out IGN's Nintendo editor was married to the VP of Nintendo's PR firm? He worked there for three more years after it was discovered (IGN didn't disclose it until someone else broke the controversy).

This is the emptiest of tough-guy posturing, touting your own superior bravery knowing you're overwhelmingly unlikely never to be in this position. You're not impressing anyone, guy.

As Gabrielle Giffords, Nancy Lanza, and the victims of Elliot Rodger can attest: it doesn't matter how many of them are empty threats. All it takes is one.

Based on what I see a lot of the outcry about journalistic ethics is less about wanting an unbiased source of info and more about wanting people like Leigh Alexander to be punished for writing articles that they interpret as insulting.

Furthermore even if we take the desire for ethics at face value they are unlikely…

Let's try to get to the core of the matter: What you're saying is that games should be marketed to women,

Something that the people making these kinds of arguments can't fathom:

Don't you hate it when people with penises treat women like human beings worthy of respect?

No, sorry. Consumers do not have to have the talent and financial resources to "make their own" in order to criticize the things they love. Movie critics do not have to make blockbuster movies to be able to tell you that the dialog was awful. Very few people have all the skills necessary and the thousands if not…

No.
