I, Personally, Feel The Same Way As The Original Poster And I Wouldn't Necessarily Call It Victim Shaming.

I, personally, feel the same way as the original poster and I wouldn't necessarily call it victim shaming. In my case at least, it's not "Abel, why are you such a dumb, naive bitch?" it's "Oh Abel, why did your writer do this to you?" and there's a difference. Even if he ended up giving Cain the benefit of doubt, I would have loved to see a more mindful, aware Abel, but none of it is his fault, it's the author's.

I like Abel, but the way that he seems to have forgotten Cain’s attitude annoys me to no end. Others think that it is good that he has this doubtful loyalty, but to me he comes off as anywhere between naive, blind or outright stupid.

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.

Boycotting a written publication shouldn't be too much of a hardship for a person who, apparently, cannot read anyway...

Anita Sarkeesian on GamerGate: ‘We Have a Problem and We’re Going to Fix This’ - How a video game fan weathered a misogynist backlash to become pop culture’s most valuable critic

So this is pretty cool, I was interviewed by Rolling Stone today. No biggie.

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.

Quitting is the artist's choice. One that they should be able to make without guilt whatever the reason. That should not even be an issue. I only wish Emirain would have communicated their doubts about wanting to / being able to continue to the readers sooner instead of merely taking a hiatus. Disappointment is the direct result of failed expectations. I saw this coming because, as a worry-wart, I read into things like delays and breaks but I know many fans took the authors at their word and wanted to believe that it was just a matter of time before Teahouse came back. So I hope you work on those communication skills if you self-publish in the future. Other than that, I wish you all the best in your careers and future artistic pursuits.

I just want to thank everyone for the surprising amount of support we’ve received in the last few days and while I don’t want to directly address any of the negative messages, I want to leave everyone with this nugget:

Artists become artists because they’re passionate about art. We don’t do it...

Why are they always hanging by their wrists? Isn't that a form of torture? Jesus! It's like adding insult to injury, or rather, injury to insult. It takes a special kind of indifference to ignore how much that shit would actually hurt.
