Eh, I'm a happy drunk. I sometimes reach a depressed state, but I'm not that bad when I'm drunk I don't think.

Nah. Drunk dialling is easier lol. This blog took effort to have as few spelling mistakes as it did.

I'm sorry dude, but he's right. The first episode isn't all that offensive. She doesn't say video games are evil, she just acknowledges a trope and says that it does have negative connotations. It is kind of sexist if you think about it. Also, she does do research, and she says in this video that she played games as a young girl and her passion of games and her passion of womens rights lead to the production of this video, so I don't honestly understand why this video makes you this angry? I don't even know why she makes you this angry. She's making an observation about our medium that I think we should pay attention to, because even if she isn't as well versed as you or I, it gives an indication as to what outsiders think of gaming and how detrimental that is in the overall acceptance of our medium. As far as I can see, there is no issue here. I stopped watching his video at the 6 minute mark and went and watched hers, and I honestly don't see a problem.

Unfortunately trolls are a big part of online geek culture and therefore have to be judged along with us. I don't like it, but it is true.

 Can you show me the video you are referring to? I've watched every one of his "The Big Picture" videos, and I haven't seen it.

 Yeah they will play those kinds of games. But should they always have to? Shouldn't we all have choice in that regard? 

 Harrassment of women online is abhorent. A lot of women pretend to be men online just because of that. I was playing LoL the other day, and when the other team found out the best player on our team was female, they raged and said that she must of cheated, and they all reported her and attempted to get her banned. It was ridiculous. So our team got all of our team to report their team and they all got banned, and she didn't. It was a proud moment for us lol.

 Hey, I dismissed Anita. She's a tool. However, the people in the comment section weren't all arguing about her, they were arguing about feminists in general. Also, Bob only used that image of her because she's the one who has received the most derogatory comments, and she reveived them before she even posted her first video. As soon as she said she wanted to look at games, the internet went nuts without giving her a chance. Now she's blown that chance, it's fine to criticise her. But we shouldn't have reached the point where we can vocally demand that an entire gender not talk about video games.
