Hey Giant Bomb,  
 
You know, I very happily paid my membership fee because I heart Whiskey Media. I won't lie, my main reason for doing it was because I was told the Bombcast would be split up, but I didn't mind that this plan didn't come to fruition.  Bombcast for all!  
 
But yesterday I got my member T-shirt, and unless I suddenly put on 50 pounds, your small would be a large in girl sizes. I had to give it to my dude, who doesn't even play video games.  It's so wasted on him. 
 
I'm feeling kind of bummed, because I'd like something from my membership fees. Is there a place where I can at least buy a member  T-shirt in an XS? Is there someone I can talk to about this?

I guess they never really considered that, considering how the majority of the Giantbomb community (well above 90%) is male-oriented. =/ 
 
How loose or baggy is the shirt when you wear it? Because not all shirts need to fit or be skin-tight in my opinion.

Well, smalls are always big on girls. I guess they didn't think (m)any girls would really sign up for this. I'd contact snide, or tatum, I guess. :)

It's baggy enough that I can't wear it. I'm a 6, which is the most popular size for skinny girls. That's usually a small in unisex stuff. These are just especially big t-shirts.  Or maybe they are in boy sizes, I have no idea. 
 
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but who are Snide and Tatum, and where can I contact them?

Snide is David Snider. Just send him a PM, I guess. He has an account on Giant Bomb.

No item of clothing is suitable for a girl to wear. Go nude or GTFO.

They will be unisex sizes.  6 is on the small end of the scale but I wouldn't expect a small to be that big on you.  Didn't they say the shirts were American Apparel for something for sizing purposes.

If that's true, then there is nothing the op can do about it because they probally printed the shirt on a generic small shirt with their graphic design.

The Daring Fireball shirts are also American Apparel, which run small normally. I can promise you, they are NOWHERE near the same size. The Daring Fireball one fits perfectly, this is like a tent. It's a different brand.

You know, I think this statement pretty much illustrates exactly why the GB crew didn't expect any female forum members to support the site. This is why we can't have nice things, people.

@spacekatgal: If they can't fix it you should find someone who wants to sign up for the year membership and ask them to order a XS for you and send them your t-shirt. I know thats a long shot but thats all I can think of.

Those tops are not right for her boobs or upper arms.  She needs to be taller and in better shape to pull off a halter.

I think it was male sizes only since the billing page on GB gives you a size chart for male sizes. To be frank I'm a little surprised they forgot about female sizes considering how we've got a good few female members here.

If little Cambodian kids can make the shirt, then you can certainly find a tailor to re-size it. Good luck!

He does patent law. He just doesn't get it.  
 
It sucks because every other boyfriend I've ever had has loved having a GF that is seriously into games. But hey, I love him deeply. Couples can't share all their interests.  
 
I bet him that if we played 100 games of SSF4, I'd beat him all 100 games. I was right.

Well... I think a female shirt should be made.  I mean even if the shirt was small enough but was the same shape as the guys shirt it probably wouldn't fit well with your breasts...

I'm pretty sure anything that originated as a t shirt doesn't feature boobs properly.

@Djeffers03:  wow, you're kind of a shithead. Actually, you're really a shithead.  Show some respect.
  

@spacekatgal: You could wear it as a lounging shirt.  Admittedly, it's kind of a bummer that it's huge (unless you want to do some sort of shirt/leggings combo when you wear it out), but I have a few shirts that are huge that I just wear when I'm chilling in the house.  You could also shrink it a bit but I don't know how that would affect the decals.
