Hi there, so....with feminism as it relates to gaming kind of being at the forefront of the news cycle right now I saw two seperate articles posted about it today - one on Polygon, and another on Cracked. Anyway, I wrote hyper long comment that got some...decent feedback, and I figured I'd post it here and see if maybe the people that see where I'm coming from over there are bonkers or actually rational human beings like I believe myself to be.
Anyway, I'm not so much trying to defend anyone or attack anyone or say people are right or wrong - I generally think that telling people that they're flat-out wrong about something as...broad as feminism is a good way to make someone an angry person. I'm not saying what I'm saying is wrong or right either, but it *is* how I feel, and I think there are other people, lots of people, who feel the same way - unfortunately I think a good chunk of those people react in vicious and inappropriate ways when they're challenged.
..This is revised and expanded. And long.
