Ok, ok. I'm not usually a big random reader of the internet but...
...I was first reading a truly disturbing article from one female gamer and stories of women (and young girls) interacting with the men (man-children?) world of table-top role-playing game:
I have to admit that I probably have never played a single RPG with a woman in our group and I rarely (ok, never) played outside of my group of friends. But I guess I was pretty appalled to read that anyone could be treated so poorly or be such a jerk to others in this day and age...
I know, GamerGate .. but to do this to someone face-to-face seems unreal. I guess egged on by the "mob."
So being kinda disturbed, I read more of her Tumblr and got to this link...
If you got about 15 minutes, this was a really great fanfic of Martha Kent.. Which actually cheered me up... Yay... internet!
