I don't know why many of you guys seem so threatened by stuff like this.

If there is one thing that is legitimately holding video games back from being regarded seriously as an artistic medium, it is how some guys respond to the criticism of the sexism which exists in the industry, the games themselves and the gaming community.  The methodology and tone some guys take is eerily similar to the tantrum guys threw when women stepped up for the right to wear pants and the right to vote.

sexism exists in all industries so no i don't think that is it

the other thing is that sexism exists for a reason... what we should be doing is analysing why it exists first then taking the discussion past that
