weblog - That old question again

On the other hand, this question is timeless. "Birth of an Icon" - found at FreakingNews.com That said, the event which sparked this post happened almost a year ago now. So after reading this new post by Mark Danger Chen, which deeply abuts the themes of postmodernity which this here post is really about, I figured I'd better just hurry up and get this thing out the door today. While I wasn't able to make GDC last year, like virtually everyone else (who works in or around games) I was promptly informed by colleagues and blog posts about Heather Chaplin's now infamous rant regarding perpetual adolescence in games (or really perpetual adolescents in the games industry). This Is Not a Pipe by Genée Cosden, shirt available at threadless.com This is the point where, before proceeding any further, I need to mention that my BA was in studio art at U.C.

But what does that mean? Mario Mushroom stained glass from radianceart.com. SOS_SLAVES Changing the trafficking game. Www.envplan.com/epa/fulltext/a38/a37205.pdf.

Brandon Boyer – Offworld. Vorpal Bunny Ranch. I’m Tired of Being a “Woman in Games.” I’m a Person. While I understand this is a rant, and I'm totally okay with that because god knows I've ranted...but well.

I’m Tired of Being a “Woman in Games.” I’m a Person.

Okay, I agree on several points, SEVERAL points you're making, in fact over the last month we've had plenty of sexism/sexist articles on Kotaku which I don't mind for the most part (cept for the Bitch article...that was a non issue for me.) Here's the thing, Kotaku has to decide to pick WHICH article theme they want to go with each day, you can't have a blathering piece on whatever Felicia Day is doing and how cute she is and then in like the next three post "Feminist Whore achievement" the next. It's all about Page Hits and that's okay...however Kotaku knows EXACTLY whats going on when they post sexy articles or articles about some Jidol who plays games, J-idols wearing latex showing their boobs or a figurine or a game like Code of Princess, then on the EXACT SAME DAY post something along the lines of female mistreatment in gaming. Games. Critical Distance.
