    Bechdel is a comics writer.

I knew that. for some reason I assumed she was dead. who knows why (probably some societal idea that we think no one important must be alive right now).

    social movements that start on the Internet are at a huge disadvantage in that unless they're very focused or esoteric enough that people who are really passionate about them are also well-informed, they start picking up nuts too soon and there's a good chance the nuts will take over.

100% agree. There is a lot to be said for ethics in games journalism (and indeed ethics in journalism PERIOD right now, as I mentioned in my first post with Brian Wilson Williams), but not much to be said for its current advocates.

edit: in reference to my correction
