I'm Not Trying To Dispute The Special White Boy Problem But I Will Say That Metz Has A Reason For Being

I'm not trying to dispute the special white boy problem but I will say that Metz has a reason for being all shocked by the customs. He has some sort of amnesia and doesn't remember anything from before he was found and almost sacrificed to the god of death.

Considering his mysterious background, I sort of get the feeling that Metz is a character that represents our time and through which the modern reader can explore the story's universe. It is pretty sad though that the artist thought he had to be white for that.

Even so, the racial representation in BTOM is better than most webcomics where people of color are often solitary, token characters. Here we have almost an entire cast of interesting, complex Aztecs and one white guy. It's a bit annoying that he's so speshul but I do appreciate the thought that went in to not only the fantastic setting but the other main characters who frankly are a lot more intriguing than Metz.

I have a webcomic rant, but if you’re a postive thinking person who can’t stand to see any artist criticized, then kindly ignore this. I don’t want to be a hater, but I am also an opinionated person with lots of feelings.

Isn’t it depressing to you guys that “only a few rapes” or “only in some routes” is so often the best you can get? I feel like sobbing…

are there any bl games that dont have rape? im basically unnerved by most nitro+chiral games and i dont want any repeats of suggestions of dmmd and tnc and i was wondering if there were any good fluffy ones that play out like straight dating sims

Oh man I don’t know how to help you.  I know several rape heavy ones…and I know a couple that are mostly PC but have one or two rape routes. The closest one I can say is…

Gakuen Heaven - seems to be half decent.  The animated series was cheesy, campy, and cute. Though it seems the tropes page mentions rape a few times so there’s gotta be in a route somewhere that involves it.

Though I mean there is…

Love Love Chau - but this is just a hilarious little parody based on Pacific Rim….but uhh no non-con.

Why "adversary" though? Sometimes I hate the sensationalist media, even when they're doing good things.

The latest issue of Bloomberg Businessweek features a cover story about Tropes vs Women in Video Games, gendered online harassment, and sexism in the games industry. It’s available to read online and will be on newsstands Friday November 28th.

Supreme Court: No Girls Allowed

Thought the Supreme Court was an “old boys’ club” before? You probably didn’t know about the forts, nudie mags, and no-girls-allowed rulings.

Here’s a video from our Internetting While Female panel with Carolyn Petit, Katherine Cross and I at GaymerX last week.

Haha! BAMF!
