Ok, I don’t feel like explaining at length why the guy who wrote the BoundingIntoComics article about what Fonda Lee said is a shithead. Go read his article, you can google it, I’m not linking that asshole. Then go read Jim Hines’s takedown of it. Short version, she said about Barnes & Noble that part… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #550 – Again with a Terrible Dude, and My Petty Annoyance #453487534687
Ok, some of you may have seen on Sunday my tweet talking about how if your knee-jerk response when a woman tells you to quit talking out of your ass is to call her a facist, you’re a dipshit. Seriously. I’m not going to sugarcoat this any more. Look, I get it. Getting called on… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #549 – Dudes, stop
Or conversely, everyone has to do some gatekeeping, but when it’s because someone has demonstrated through their actions that they are a douchebag, it’s no longer gatekeeping. Instead it’s boundaries. Yeah, I’ve seen these jackasses with their “I took a philosophy course my freshman year of college,” arguments, and it’s bullshit. Look, wanting to deny… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #542 – What Gatekeeping Is and Isn’t?
Ok, so I’ve spent the last 24 hours in migraine land, and hopefully this doesn’t tip me back in, but here goes.

And you know how I always… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #537 – Gaming’s Latest #MeToo Moment
I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get twitchy when I go to open up an internet browser. It seems like every other day, someone I idolized as a child turns out to be a shitbag. The Geek Husband What Rules goes through this even more often, as he was really into Hardcore… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #532 – Please, No One be Horrible for like, a Week, Please.
This is something I have ranted about before in many locations but never here. But let’s face it. We’re nerds. Most of our hobbies require being sedentary, sometimes for hours at a time, not to mention our jobs. I want to address something about health. A couple of things. First is that you do not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #530 – A Public Service Announcement
Ok, now that I’ve fucked up a major pillar of comics nerd fandom… Ugh. Seriously, where the hell has my head been? I don’t even know. I have two copies of the damned graphic novel.

Edited to correct that I named the Fucking Wrong Author. It’s Alan Moore! Gah, Pop Will Eat Itself even has a song about that. UGH! I am terrible.
