/* sorry for chainposting, I missed the edit window */If they had had a "games for boys" rack with GI Joe or Bob the Builder it would be just as harmful. The point is not that the games are for females, the point is that the games are gendered when they need not be.
@domomikeI couldn't agree more. As if a one has to say "oh no, she's a *female* gamer", as if there is somehow a distinction. How many times have you ever heard somebody refered to as a "male gamer".@ortheruhmmm, domoMIKE is a guy.... sounds to me like you're the one getting overly emotional and irrational
