‘We were talking about representation very early on in a mainstream way’

Pour one out for a real one

It’s probably a good thing she’s retiring on her own terms tho

    But we’re not talking about some major lifestyle change, playing some video games where the lead character is a woman whose personality doesn’t revolve around her being spankbank material isn’t a huge ask.

      She didnt even REALLY say “hey play different games” she moreso was just asking to be critically aware of the content of what you’re playing which is some incredibly basic shit.

        One of her mantras was something like “it’s possible to enjoy something while also accepting criticism of it” and I’ve learned firsthand how impossible that is for some people. frothingfash

          I re-read Lord of the Rings recently. And you know what? It’s definitely got racist elements in it. It sucks. But I can still enjoy the books. It’s just whenever I talk about them now (or even think about them), I do talk about how I like them but the racist parts cannot and should not be ignored.
