It was a shame Brutsch wasn't a champion of not posting creepshots of teen girls though.

Hey, you want to protest how men are portrayed in video games, go for it! There's nothing wrong with having that view at all, so don't invalidate the fact that a lot of women speak out about it though.

Ahahahaha, talk about having a victim mentality! Oooo you poor guy, always having society's disapproving finger wagged at you! Why don't you take your own advice, suck it up and walk it off hoss.

She posts stuff on the internet, of course she seeks attention. But then, you posted a comment on a popular message board, so you're an attention seeker too!

Pretty much, or they are her tormentors.

Yeah, hi that's called "Existing every damn day as a woman" everywhere outside of feminist classes in college. The sad thing is you notice it sucks, but you don't connect that it sucks when guys do it to women. Not that all men walk around planning how to keep the ladies down, it's more insidious than that because the majority of the time we just don't think about it at all. That's how games get released with no female character options, or female NPC's with redonkulous boobs, because the guys making the game just never put in a second to think "how will women, who are a huge factor in life, think about this".

Okay, right there you've just justified every bad feminist example that you whine about. You are the problem.

The sad thing is that a lot of serious trolls aren't 13 year olds. They're 40 year olds, with kids and wives who you think would have some brains, but sadly still seem to get off on just being miserable pricks.

Or, you know, you might do a little introspection on the fact that a criticism is not an insult, and perhaps there are more than a few grains of truth in what she might have to say.

Well, frankly nobody reads Schrägstrichpunkt so we're not all up to speed on whatever zany antics your inbreed hicks are up to in Europe.

House cats kill more birds than this. It's all relative.

Don't forget: Absolutely no support from a hostile Congress to the basic existence of the project.

The difference between corporations and the government, is that the government has 319,000,000 middle managers. Everyone has their own ideas of what is or isn't fair, how much value a project has and how it should be done. So we end up with layer after layer of bureaucracy and paperwork and second guessing.

I'm sure they have full copies of all the data already.

I also refuse to pay $9.99 for an eBook copy of a book that has been out of print for 30 years. There are numerous scifi & fantasy books being re-released lately at this absurd price scale and it's ridiculous.

Why is Scalzi only bringing up hardcover prices when at $9.99 the ebook is HIGHER than the paperback release, which will sell more copies than the hardcover as well. How can he argue that there is "a legitimate reason for not wanting the gulf between eBook and physical hardcover pricing to be so large that brick and mortar retailers suffer" when paperbacks sell for $6.99-$7.99?? If brick and mortar retailers can survive cheap paperbacks, why can't they survive eBooks priced $2-$3 higher? For that matter, I have never heard anyone in the publishing industry who can explain why eBooks should be priced higher than paperbacks.
