I fear those who fear the future. Whoever calls for a halt in technological and/or social progress, I consider a threat to human civilization.

I'm not a sports fan for the same reason I'm not into competitive gaming. So much that I believe the toxicity in geek culture was imported from jock culture after the multiplayer function became the most important thing in gaming.

"This is what Metacritic says, therefore, it's the truth."

As someone with ASD and ADD myself, I think you're reacting way too lightly on that type of behavior. That, especially when said person is self-diagnosed, is actually something worth taking out to the streets over. Seriously, anyone who uses my diagnosis as an excuse for misogyny, homophobia...

Everytime I see a story like this and the reaction people have to it, I think of this Simpsons episode: EDIT: Corrected grammar error.

Tyrion Lannister, just to see everyone lose their shit.

What I was talking about was the presence amongst women working as vg artists, not presence of female characters (although that is an issue for another day). Whatever, my original point was that, whatever the truth is, the catering to the straight male demographic isn't as much of an issue as...

While I agree that the title is misleading, James Pethokoukis is still so wrong about this. He still implies that the rise of cosplay is a sign of how the bad the economy is, as if cosplaying is a negative symptom of the economic situation. He's basically saying "See what you did, Washington...

Regarding violence in media, it does not make people more violent. However, in a large enough dose, it makes people more acceptant towards the idea of violence as a problem solver. Playing military worshipping games on a regular basis doesn't exactly make you a pacifist, unless you...

That is just so fucked up! Why are we letting sex-negative, misogynistic cultures like these continue to thrive?

I find it interesting that you mention how being aroused among others is more taboo than being grossed out among others.

I really hope they didn't strip away the comedy and the occasional social commentary the original show had. That's what I myself liked about it.

In some pizzerias in Sweden, you can order pizza with pommes frites on top. It's so fucking good.
