You know what? I give up. Fandom fails at gender. Wiki nerds think that a skimpy outfit in a T-rated game somehow relates to whether or not cats show their genitalia, nobody wants to examine the widespread minimizing of female characters compounded by exaggeration of male characters, and people on FFR continually insist that making characters with tight reins on their emotions break down is somehow feminizing them.

Fuck that shit, yo.

Everything fails at gender.

Fandom just fails extra because fandom fails extra at everything.

You know what's really ironic? Sexism is a major reason women get less development. And it's sexism against men.

Writers don't need to work to make the reader care about the death or emotional pain of a female character. Men, on the other hand?

SOMEONE FAILS AT EDITORIAL INTEGRITY.

If the phrase was derived from a Nomura quote, then attribute it. To not do so is to make a value judgment and thus render the impartiality of the wiki moot. F- from the teacher, yo.

I tried Googlestalking her, but she has a squeaky clean record including a pro-life img in her photobucket.

*snuggles* Fandom fails just about covers it, yeah.

Darlin', nine comments out of ten I love what you have to say, and I really do respect your opinion.

But bless your heart, please do not "sexism against men" or related points up in my journal ever again.

(Also, wtf, I have anon commenting disabled on this journal, so I'm wondering why it let you comment without an openid.)

Why am I not surprised she's pro-life?

Also: not only should that quote be attributed, WITH a proper citation, but what the hell does Aqua's redesign have to do with the Gullwings?
