Just a Game:
A 7 minute documentary about female gamers, and misogyny in the gaming community.
This could not have been made without the videos that were submitted, and without many wonderful articles written.
The aspect ratio is a little off unfortunately, but I hope you all still enjoy it, and can take something from it.
Warning for strong language use, mentions of rape, general dude-bro douche-baggery.
Please share and spread :)
you know I’m all for girl gamers and everything like they have every right to game. But let’s be honest they aren’t as good as guys and it’s a fact. when was the last time you saw a girl in a national tournament or anything of that sort? It just doesn’t happen so yes girls can game but their skill level will never be as good
OH man, you’re such a NICE GUY! So we’re allowed to play games, even though we should never expect to be as good as you wonderful strong men? WOW, thank you SO much for your permission!
Take a step back and have a look at what you just said. Thank you for being a shining example of everything wrong with the gaming community. Let girls play but they’re not as good as us. They never will be.
Biologically, there are NO advantages that men have over women that translate to gaming. None at all. But what DO men have going for them? Well for starters, their presence isn’t highly criticized from the moment they enter a tournament. Either she’s there because they want a token girl (she’s not a ‘real gamer’) or she hasn’t got a life, is ugly or fat right?
And if a guy joins a team I can bet you a lot of money HIS couch won’t spend their entire training session making him uncomfortable by trying to guess his bra size, or ask him to take his shirt off while focusing the webcam streaming the training session solely on his legs.
And heaven forbid women try to avoid this and dare to make an all female team. No, if they do that, they’re either being part of the problem (they won’t let guys play with them it’s unfair to us) or they’re doing it for attention (just because they have tits and play games they want us to watch). Either way, they’re fucked before they begin, because people like you have decided they shouldn’t be there.
The minute a woman starts trying to become an competitive gamer, the odds are stacked against her. It’s all by your terms, and your rules.
It’s not about skill levels, because the playing field isn’t level to begin with. We don’t want to be harassed, or belittled, or have to deal with ignorant people like you who assume that because you have a dick you’re going to be better than we will ever be before we’ve even started playing.
Guys are not always going to be better than girls at gaming. Guys are not better than girls at gaming now. They’ve just made sure it’s really fucking hard for a woman to reach a point where she can prove it in a way that you can’t pretend never happened.
you know, I’m a straight guy yet I feel very passionate about this subject. Why do people have to be so fuggin sexist? I just don’t understand it, what’s the point? Thank you to everyone who fights for equality, and screw you to everyone that decides it’s “ok” to undo these peoples progress.
update: turns out im not a straight guy
Fuck yeah, congrats on finding your truth 🌈
Done for spooky month! If I have time, I will also draw Ianthe. Hopefully!

captain K.P hob and delloso de la rue as frederic william burton’s the meeting on the turret stairs.
since my klimt rendition of these two is now outdated due to episode four I decided to make another battlemaster of ceremonies work, this time with rue in their beautiful true form!!! the meeting on the turret stairs is so so beautiful and suits them quite well I think. thank you for all the love on my previous the kiss fanart, this community is so lovely <3
By Regency rules, anyone at the masquerade knows Rue and Hob are into each other.
They danced all night. They only danced with each other. They basically declared they're engaged.
Social etiquette dictated unattached people could stand for up to two dances together but no more or it would show preference. It just isn't done!
And these beautiful monsters are dancing with each other all night? That would be a *thing*.
I'm 99% sure Aabria knows what's up because she's incredibly prepared and also, the behaviour of some NPCs:
- After the ball, the Chorus pounced. The host was seen dancing all night? With a goblin? They gotta get that whole situation under control.
- When Hob spoke to the seafoam courtier, and they confirmed the letter they found implicated Rue, they apologised like they knew the news would be upsetting.
- Lady Sylmenar was incredibly kind with Hob, acknowledging that this must be hard for him.
Maybe other things? Anyway i hadn't seen anyone mention this so here's my first post in 5 years because I'm obsessed

COMPOSURE [challenging: failed]: ????????
sometimes a family is an ex military commander stitched back together with four trillion dollar duct tape, a genetic clone who would ruthlessly murder you to protect her sister, a skeptical and level-headed soldier with a problematic father, a faithful and golden hearted assassin who moonlights as a ballet dancer but IS a problematic father, a baby turtle you thought was going to be a 900 year old war lord but instead gave you child care responsibilities, a geneticist war criminal with a guilty conscience who knows way too much about your sex life but is excellent at his arpeggios, a going on one thousand mother who would be morally required to end your life for locking her in a closet, a kleptomaniac who knows her aesthetics and is definitely sneaking through the vents to pawn your ship parts, your other war criminal grandfather who spits when he talks and threatened to kill you several times in the name of vengeance, your science bestie from the fourth grade who should’ve left your sorry ass by now to win an intergalactic award, your other bestie from fourth grade who took batman roleplay way too seriously and needs an intervention, the girl with the undercut who gave you your gay awakening and first tattoo but also some concerns about the state of her health, and the robopet figure you got from mcdonalds and forgot about in your closet that came back to ask if it has a soul
