she shouldn't have to sit there and individually block thousands of twitter users which would suck. it's not useful to go all ad hom on her because at a fundamental level it doesn't help anyone's case or make anyone's point to just sit there and call her a girl over and over. it's not acceptable to say 'well that's the toxic internet for you' because the trolls are purposefully 1000 times more toxic when there's a woman involved and that is plain to see in every one of these dickwolves events.


Yeah, on one hand, she isn't the first person to get beat up over Twitter. I thought her comment about having a vagina and game job was funny (even though she doesn't seem that pumped about making games - whatever, it was still funny). Looking through the people (men and women) who gave her shit, well, every one I took a look at was obviously a loser -- there aren't enough hours in the day to take down those pieces of shit individually.


however she should definitely not be the public voice of bioware or dragon age or anything, her ideas w/r/t games are awful and she needs to be fired, like the more she publicly argues that games should all be like Dear Esther and that it's ok to depict rape in them the less credibility Bioware has with their own fans. dragon age and mass effect are evolving toward the $60 annual patch category of games and that's fine but if they're not going to put even a half-effort into a decent story or playable game then who the fuck is going to bother paying?


That's the thing, I would love another game like BG2, but I'm not paying money for squee content written by people like that. I'm not saying what I like is any better, it's just what I like. If anything, I would encourage BioWare to break the series into two: non-stop barechested cut scenes for those who enjoy that sort of thing, and push-glasses-on-nose D&D tactics for people like me. :(
