So yesterday I wrote a post about men in WoW and in life in general. Thanks to everybody who replied, I’m deeply flattered by all of the positive attention it’s received, and all your comments have been extremely supportive, but there have been one or two themes running through the comments which I think need to address. This . . . → Read More: Menz Again: A follow up post So there’s been another spike in feminist commentary in the Blogsphere, which recently wound up with Pewter putting up an open post in order to address Men’s Issues. As one might expect, the comments on the original post are a mixed bag, one part people genuinely engaging with the concept and one part “wah wah nobody understands . . . → Read More: What About the MENZ? I vaguely intended this to be a post about talents. Then I got distracted. So I’ve been following the beta failrly closely (albeit from afar because apparently Tam LOST OUR BETA INVITE because he thought it was spam). I’ve been particularly following warriors because, while I don’t play one, they seem to be the furthest along on . . . → Read More: Girls, Girls, Girls Hi folks! Back from not playing or thinking about WoW for a while with a hyper, hyper short post with the following content: Giving Out People’s Personal Details On the Internet Is Not Okay Blizzard is apparently moving over to forcing people to use their RealIDs to post on the official forums. This is not okay. This is not going . . . → Read More: Seriously Not Okay Contrary to what you may have thought, I’m not dead and haven’t given up WoW – it’s just that ironically the more time I spend playing the game, the less time I spend blogging about it. To remind those of you who care, and who don’t still think that Tam and I are the same person (we . . . → Read More: Bring the Consumables, Not the Class The title of this post was going to be “BLANK is a four-letter word” but I couldn’t think of a synonym for “trying” that had four letters (except work, and it didn’t have quite the right connotations). Yesterday, the following message popped up in Guild Chat: Oh look, another person asking me why I don’t heal in Tree . . . → Read More: There Is No Try A little while ago spinks put up a post talking about what it would take to boot somebody from a group. Spinks observed that she (you are a girl, right Spinks?) was fine with booting people for being dickheads, but not so fine with booting people for poor performance. A lot of people chimed in to . . . → Read More: On Elitism Elnia, who I constantly confuse with Larissa (I should complain less when people confuse me with Tamarind) wrote a post over at Pink Pigtail Inn which talks about this post over at WoWinsider (now WoW.com, although in truth I barely follow it these days because it annoys the hell out of me) in which Adam Holisky . . . → Read More: You’ve Got Some Smug On Your Shirt There So you might have see the “Women Girls of Dragon Age: Origins” feature on the Maxim website. Le sigh. Now to be fair to Bioware, it’s worth pointing out that this is a feature in a men’s magazine, and it’s something that Maxim seems to do regularly. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan have both posed in their . . . → Read More: Girls of Dragon Age: Origins – Why This Shit Matters So as you probably already all know, Tam and I /gquit yesteraday after our guild of adorable spanners promoted a manipulative liar to the rank of co-leader on the oh-so-sensible basis of asking around in gchat. Because naturally if you want to somebody to help organise and lead raids you want to pick somebody whose primary . . . → Read More: Yes, We’re Still Bitter About It: How To Be The Star of Your Wannabe Raid-Guild |
