Dear The Internet, This Is Why You Can't Have Anything Nice

While I can see the need for the occasional Oasis, I would add that the main reason these creepyboys (and I will not call them men) prosper is because they know they can chase people into the warrens. Until a bully gets his beating from the person they thought was "prey" they do nto stop, so I say to people like in the OP, keep going for the fight, because sooner or later, you will win, if for not other reason than Bullies tend to be lazy as well, and they will get tired, and then you can know the joy or gutting their underbelly and using their bowels for confetti.

Now, I will lay my cards on the table, I am a gamer. I also think that the gaming world is changing, in part because more women are gamers now. Yes you still have the Lara Croft Tomb Raiders, and the grand Theft Autos, but now you also have games like " Star Wars: the Old republic" where women (and I do mean women, not dolls, not cheesecake) are very much people of substance, story heroines that give orders, do heroics, make the epic dialogues and monologues you know by heart:they make you feel motions and think heavy thoughts if you listen. Yes, there is a bit too much of the fanboy in gaming, but it, like the macho culture it came from, is dying out, despite the best efforts of the powers that be to save it.
