Ok, these absolute cinnamon buns came to my attention via a Tumblr post screen-capping their interactions with people in the comments to an article about them, written by one of them, as a publisher of Fantasy books featuring women and queer people of all flavors. The article was called The Fantasy Genre Hates Women, and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #439 – This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things Part the Next: Legacy Books
No, really. I would like some fucking answers as to how a company whose biggest properties were invented by a bunch of Jewish guys winds up employing the market share of racist, arguably antisemitic, jackholes. The latest is the stellar human being who is currently drawing Cable, calling Hitler the ultimate SJW (Social Justice Warrior).… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #438 – What the shit is going on at Marvel?
Ok, so for DECADES the clarion call of the cis het white dude nerd has been, “If you don’t like it, why don’t you make your own?!” (Imagine me saying that in the whiniest, most nasally voice I can manage.

This link here has the details. Now, some… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #427 – Kudos to Wizards of the Coast
So, you’ve seen the light. Either you were dragged kicking and screaming out into it, or you stepped out of the shadows yourself to apologize for having victimized someone in the past. There are several articles out there telling you how to apologize for for sexually harassing/assaulting someone. However, I want to talk to you… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #425 – What to Expect After you Apologize for Sexually Harassing/Assaulting Someone
A lot of this is stuff I’ve covered in the past. Step up and call harassment and bigotry out when it happens in front of you, or when someone tells you a story of a thing they did that wasn’t good. You don’t have to get any more explicit than, “Dude, not cool,” or “We… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #423 – What Can I Do?
