2014: That Game you like is Sexist.

I think we all know that cons aren't known for being safe and welcoming environments for non-straight, non-white, non-male, non-gender conforming non-anything-but-"normal" people.

I would honestly like to know what cons you've gone to because I've never been to one that wasn't welcoming to everyone. The only thing I…

This. Everyone's pointing the finger at YouTube, and there's some validity to that, because they could handle this all a LOT better, but if anyone thinks they're happy about this arrangement, they're delusional. The music industry has pressured them into it big time, and with that, the less invasive but still asshole…

The music industry is simply the worst. To maintain their control, they've unleashed a dragon. They have an absolute hegemony on the 'piracy' debate, where we can actually witness people argue that fair use is a bad thing (because they don't realise it's legal), and of course we've seen a shocking ability to lobby so…

I'm sorry but this is a really ridiculous argument.

Much Wii

If nothing else, relying less on tropes—regardless of what kind they are—can only be a good thing in my books. Hopefully the discussion here about her ideas can remain civil and not be knee-jerk reactions to the…

Reverse the cover of the Ico/SotC HD remake:

Personally, my problem with the "Are games art?" debate is that too many people that rally behind the notion that they ARE art simply point to the Cinematic story-telling and film-like aspects. I feel this is the wrong approach. Simply splicing in Cinematics (or Film) into gameplay, in my mind, does not make the game,…

*pigeonholing

The problem is not the term, the problem is the universally shared and advocated belief that feminism is "about equality", when feminists, even when they do their darnest to fight in defense of women with the best of intentions, have never bothered, in the slightest, to do something agains such issues concerning men…
