@nubmonk: I think you're being a bit insensitive to the issues that transpeople face on a daily basis. They don't just wake up one day and decide they want to be the other gender, there is a lot of pain and suffering that goes into that decision. Imagine, from the moment you knew any better, you felt different, and couldn't really articulate why. It's not a simple binary "I will wake up today and be a woman." In my eyes, Carolyn has just as much right to discuss misogyny as anyone else.

@oldirtybearon: What I find so embarrassing is that picture is that it's a variant on "lol look at that loser and his videogames", but directed inward. It's a subculture making fun of others in the same subculture. It's so wrong.

I find it alarming that I'm treading dangerous waters for bringing up an important topic. Not shooting the messenger, but the fact that the climate around the topic is so heated that a question can turn into a flamewar is not a very good sign.

I've been thinking about this for a couple of weeks now, and seeing twitter randoms harassing Zoe Quinn for no reason that I can see, other than being a woman gave dev, is really off putting. What's worse, for some unfathomable reason, people who report on anything sexism or gender-related get flamed too. Am I missing something here?

Last time I checked, a lot of us who play video games have been given a hard time for their hobby at some point in the past. So some of us turn around and make people who share our interests feel like they don't belong? Sorry if this isn't the right place for this discussion, but I've wanted to talk about this for a while now. It's the number one issue that needs to be addressed, and I'm not sure if there's anything I can do, aside from being tolerant and inclusive.

Me.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure. I'd like to see Danny, but we all know that isn't happening, so in all likelihood, it will be someone who has yet to really appear on camera, but knows a lot about the industry.

So yeah it's totally me.

I don't think reading about someone dying on the Internet has ever hit me quite so hard. To everyone at the site, I am so sorry for your loss. Ryan will be missed.
