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.

I work in the tech industry with lots of women I've never seen this sexism before. I've been gaming for over 20 years never noticed sexism. In fact online women are often treated better then most.

If anything is an issue in the gaming community it's the mass amount of racism online. Makes me wonder how much that online racism spews into the industry.
