Dangers of Gamer Entitlement - Brandes Hepler
Brandes Hepler and her plight inspired this response via GameSpot.
Some people out there really make me sick….just….ARGH…
Spread it all around…
Poor woman
It’s a good article but I do think they’re glossing over how both the abuse and the target was one based on gender. The target was a woman. The attackers were overwhelmingly male using gendered insults. This is not a coincidence.
It’s no coincidence.
We wimmin have been ruining good, legitimate gaming for decades, with our wantin’ to be able to play the same games or *gasp* enjoying casual games. We’ve nancied up the place, dontchaknow?
I for one will not rest until all gaming hardware is pink and glittery.
It’s a good point that I didn’t bring up in my last reblog. The article does gloss over the sexism inherent in this whole situation.
Don’t forget that women are ruining their games by including romance in them. So I won’t rest until every game has a romance subplot and the packages come with the frilliest of covers.

I won’t be satisfied until all games are pink and glittery. With Unicorn ponies. That I can romance.
