She is the BEST. I hope more women start doing this.

Glad the mother was horrified instead of making some cliched remark about boys being boys or just kidding. Or turned into scary momma bear and how dare someone call out her snowflake.

This is incredibly satisfying. Nothing is more wonderful than the idea of misogynists having to admit their misogyny to the one woman who they think is somehow different. It's a beautiful thing.

I love this so fucking much.

Well done Alanah. They are indeed little shits.

Why have I never thought to do this????

My friend was sexually assaulted at a college party one night, so her boyfriend found the guy's home phone number and called his mother in the middle of dinner to tell him what he had done.

You had never seen a person repent so fast before.

That was actually a rather serious, endearing character scene, but it also served as a gentle nudge to the ribs of the entire series. And while Tales' first episode has a few more like it, make no mistake: this is a comedy adventure, not a nauseatingly grim tragedy like Walking Dead or, to a lesser extent, Wolf Among…

As well you should. She didn't have sex with Kotaku's Nathan Grayson for favorable coverage; they covered her, once, before they ever had sex... and never talked about her or her game again until she started receiving all these threats. Some people (probably assholes) say she cheated with more people than just…

I really wish they had spent a longer time on the whole "ethics in gaming journalism" bullshit and even referenced more of the threats that have been made (they only mentioned the school shooting threat). Unfortunately since everyone thinks Anita Sarkeesian is annoying and/or loves to be victimized, and therefore…

Brave person. Reasonable criticisms.

props to Stephen Colbert, by the way, for bringing light to something that, to this point, people are only aware of on the Internet.

I don't really understand the fear and rage about being more inclusive. It's not like white male characters are going anywhere.

Jack Thompson wanted to censor video games. Anita Sarkeesian wants video games to be more thoughtful. The two are nothing alike.

But Thompson wanted to restrict video games legally. She is just critiquing them for sexism, like thousands of people do for books and movies everyday. And I'm pretty sure Thompson didn't have a sustained campaign of harassment thrown at him, but then again the internet was younger then and gamers are more horrible…

It's fucking video games. If you are threatening to rape, kill, or in any way harm another human over it, you're a piece of shit. This whole thing really drives home the point that video game obsessives, like any other obsessive, have serious mental and emotional issues.

In Half-Life 2, Dr. Kleiner has an untoothed pet headcrab.
