Geek Girls Rule! #216 – Kickstarter Kicks Out a Rape Game

Ok, so someone forwarded me this link from Borderhouse Blog about Kickstarter booting the fundraiser for a tentacle rape card game called Tentacle Bento from Sodapop Miniatures* after complaints in the Kickstarter community about the game’s content, including write ups on InsertCredit.com and at Kotaku. It’s a hentai game where players are tentacle monsters trying to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #216 – Kickstarter Kicks Out a Rape Game

Geek Girls Rule! #215 – Layers of Sexy and Where You Get Into Trouble.

Ok, I wrote the original version of this post over on Livejournal about eight years ago, at the request of someone, I believe, who asked me what my criteria for sexy were since I’m all over the board with my attractions. They’d said they couldn’t put a finger on what my “type” was. The answer… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #215 – Layers of Sexy and Where You Get Into Trouble.

Geek Girls Rule! #214 – When Actors are Awesome!

Over on G33kWatch, they posted the story of the five year old boy who got his pictures taken with cast members during the filming of the Avengers (my current obsession. Hello? Geek!) Anyway, they tracked down the father of the boy, who was a friend/colleague to tell them the story of how Edison got his… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #214 – When Actors are Awesome!

Geek Girls Rule! #213 – Sexism in the Avengers?

So, Jim C. Hines had a post about how he felt that Whedon’s depiction of Black Widow was problematic. Basically, he felt that the scene between her and Loki had spun out of her control and that the sexist attack by Loki was out of character. I, and a few others, disagreed, well, I disagreed… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #213 – Sexism in the Avengers?

Geek Girls Rule! #212 – Why We Love Superheroes.

Ok, so I talked about this a little in the Avengers review. But I think I want to expand on it. One of the reasons that superheroes resonate with us is that we can relate to them on some level, like my infatuation with Hawkeye using a bow. But female superheroes seem to lack resonating… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #212 – Why We Love Superheroes.

Geek Girls Rule! #210 – Seattle Needs a Better Superhero

So, many of us in Seattle were cooled out beyond cooled out when we found out we had our own superhero. Until now… Phoenix Jones has been aiding citizens in distress in our fair city since last winter. And many of us of the nerdly persuasion cheered him on. Until May 2nd. Well, May 1st… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #210 – Seattle Needs a Better Superhero

Geek Girls Rule! #208 – Body Shame in Nerd-dom.

So, the concept art for White Wolf’s new product was released briefly on Tuesday, and I’d show it to you but apparently in the face of all the criticism flung its way, they’ve taken the gallery down. The gallery in question featured a bunch of apparently Photoshopped or traced over photos of runway models, with… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #208 – Body Shame in Nerd-dom.

Geek Girls Rule! #206 – My Love Letter to Fandom

I started going to SF/F conventions many moons ago, when the earth was flat and computers were made of wood, as my buddy Chris always said. I was 18, I’d always been a geek, a little socially awkward, and into SF/F. My room-mate at the time was really into Cons, and convinced me to drive… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #206 – My Love Letter to Fandom
