Hey everybody! We were contacted by a grad student studying video games who’d like to gather more gender equal data than typical video game-based surveys, which tend to skew male. We thought you might be able to help her out. Here’s the info! 

Hello, my name is Katheryn Christy. I am currently a PhD student at The Ohio State University in the School of Communication.

Today, I’m asking you to participate in a short survey about videogames and videogame enjoyment. The survey should only take about 30 minutes to complete and no personally identifying information is collected. You must be over 18 to participate in the survey. To complete the survey, please follow the link below:

Please feel free to post this survey (along with this entire notice) on any social networking sites or websites you frequent. If you have any questions or problems, please contact me at christy.89 AT osu DOT edu.

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Shanabeth, this survey is for you!

I Was Going to Reblog That Post Until I Saw Who Wrote It, The Musical.

Garrus Vakarian, from the Mass Effect universe. I tried to do it in the style I drew Shepard. 

I can’t decide which one I like.  If you prefer one over the other, I’d love to hear what you think.

ontarom:

In my head, after the Quarians and the Geth reconcile, the Geth units start “customizing” themselves (so that organics can tell them apart, and because they are individuals now)

I also think that, after fighting together, quarians and geth start to bond, and I got this image in my head of Geth Primes and Juggernauts letting Quarian soldiers draw and write badass or funny things on them (kinda like soldiers do in real life, painting teeth on planes and writing on missiles and such)

Mr. Hugs is the name of the Juggernaut I play (Ironically, I don’t use melee that much with him). And at first the “Death from all sides” name was just a pun on “Death from above”, but it turns out to be apt when you think about it (because of the way Primes corner you with turrets and drones, and also geth airdrops)

#e v e r y t h i n g #about this #right down to the expression of confused disgust on the one on the left’s face #as he witnesses the wild female in her natural habitat #doing stuff she likes in the clothes she likes while not wanting to fuck him #anyway the moral of this story is clearly: #sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover #(tangent: how did MRAs and fedoras even become a thing) #(why couldn’t you just have adopted the pork pie or tried to reinvent the baseball cap or something) #(thanks for taking a perfectly cute i’m-super-queer hat and making me want to recoil in revulsion every time i see it) #(hashtag further crimes against humanity)

More than anything, I resent the FUCK out of them taking the goddamn fedora. I have a lot of ~feelings~ for ’40s fashions, esp. fedoras and suits on women. I dig them on guys too: I had a serious crush on a guy in undergrad who was NOT and MRA but a total sweetie and who occasionally wore one. And as a teenager I cosplayed as a ’40s private detective and wore a fedora and it was amazing and meant a lot to my genderfucky fun.

I just…

YOU CANNOT HAVE THAT HAT, YOU ASSHOLES! NO! CANNOT!

CANNOT

HDU

(christopher foyle would curl his lip in disgust at MRAs. even archie goodwin would. philip marlowe and sam spade too. not necessarily because they’re not misogynist [i’d make an argument for foyle not being misogynist, but i won’t defend the others on that front] but because MRAs are fucking whiners)

Oh my god, and they wonder why they can’t get laid.

How hard-up for dick would you have to be before you would even CONSIDER sleeping with a dude who goes out in public wearing a matching outfits with his friend that say “COOL STORY BABE now make me a sandwich”?  Like, there is no woman on earth who is self-loathing enough for that and I have met a lot of women with a lot of internalized misogyny before and EVEN THEY would not touch that with a ten foot pole.

NO BUT REALLY THEY GO TO MY SCHOOL. THE ONE ON THE LEFT HIT ON ME IN CHEMISTRY. I DEAL WITH THIS EVERY DAY. YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. They’re also happy about their “fame” and feel cool about it.

Yeaahhh, just so the angry people know, I bought the shirt and that hat with the intentions of looking as douchey as possible.

I am the one on the right

congratu… lations…?

“I’m gonna play on misogyny and make a joke relying on the continuing societal objectification and devaluation of women, because women’s indignation in re: their humanity and worth is hi-larious me, and I want to look like a douchebag because I’m lol so edgy and ironic. Ho ho, what a jape!”

mission objective achieved, brozart

• women: *complain about sexism and misogyny in games, the gaming industry, and the gaming community*
• men: bitches be so sensitive. if your panties are in such a twist over it, just go make your own games and create your own gaming communities. like just don't let it get to you, ladies - why can't you just avoid the sexist people? if you draw attention to the fact that you're a girl online, OF COURSE you'll get harassed (and let's be honest, you're just looking for attention anyway).
• women: *create or join women-friendly gaming communities both in-game and out, maintain gender-neutral avatars/screen names/etc. in other spaces, avoid things like voice chat in online play so as not to present a target for harassment, don't attend unwelcoming events, etc. etc.*
• men: women don't play video games.

oh god I need to sleep, but every episode of Shingeki no Kyojin ends on such an increasingly demented note that I am compelled to keep watching to find out what in the absolute fuck is going on

I shouldn’t even jokingly ship Quark/Odo because a joke ship always becomes a serious ship and if I serious ship this I’ll have to delete my blog, quit my job, and go live in a shack in the forest

We watched the third episode of this show this morning.  I turned to Debi and said, “Someone turned my shipping goggles for this show on too high, AND IT’S WEIRD.”

 #okay but security officer and con artist who are each other’s best frenemies? #this was after the one where garak asks the doctor on a date #i am not usually this person

i am a diehard kira/odo person but omg i’m reblogging this just to note that quark is seconds away from catching odo reading a salacious romance novel

always reblog quark/odo glorious frenemyshipwhatever… thing.
