There have been a number of articles, all overwhelmingly in support of BioWare and Jennifer Hepler, since this situation blew up on the weekend. I’ve listed some of the notable ones below.

Forbes - The Changing Face of Games: Feeling Angry and Ignored, Fans Look for Someone to Blame

Gamespot - The Dangers of Gamer Entitlement

FemPop - Creepy Internet Stalkers Harass Female Video Game Designer for Months

zConnection - When The Internet Fought Jennifer Hepler

The Mary Sue - Inclusion: What Jennifer Hepler’s Story is All About

Atomic - This is why gamers can’t have nice things - the Jennifer Hepler ‘debate’

Kotaku Australia - BioWare Writer Describes Her Gaming Tastes; Angry Gamers Call Her A ‘Cancer’

Destructoid - BioWare writer’s vagina versus the Internet

I like how “opening games to a wider market” leads the Straight White Male Gamer to “feel angry and ignored”. Because if something is not 100% solely catered to THEIR interests then it’s omg politically correct and IGNORING THEM

What they don’t understand is that not catering to their every whim would not equal something boring/stupid/unpleasant. They could still enjoy the hell out of what they were playing.

It boggles me that so many people were not taught the lessons of sharing.

I hate to break it to them, but if other people in their clubhouse wanting better games is a problem, then I have been ruining their fun for well over a decade now. I’m in ur vidyagames, ruining ur 100% catering.
