As an aspiring indie comic creator lady I wonder how I'd feel if I faced the same potential violent vitriol that I see in the games industry わReply * Favorite More The comic book industry has its misogynistic pitfalls but female-creators in gaming like @femfreq and #ZoeQuin are in war.礡gainst women 4, Reply * Favonte More #ZoeQuinn and @femfreq show that women's existence is political. Our presence and voices are a statement. We are fair game for showing up. わReply * Favorite More

_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

I didn't know being a women meant everything you did was dictated because of your gender.

I was taught everyone was the same on a base level and that people should be judged by their actions, not their arbitrary traits of birth.

What a misogynist I am.
