just out of curiosity, what the queer geek groups and which is which? :)

You guys are doing a way, way better job at covering PAX and I'm both proud and jealous. Well fucking done.

Fuck PAX. Here is a good explanation of why PAX is a misogynistic and transphobic bro-athon.

@3, I don't share your urge to dismiss PAX put of hand, but sure appreciate the link you gave us. So many good comments. This one struck me.
I don’t agree with the things [Penny Arcade co-founder] Mike said, but also respect him and feel I understand where he’s coming from, while acknowledging his very real tendency to go full-crazy when he feels threatened; A shortcoming he’s never been shy about admitting.

With that said, I also have a great deal of respect for you guys now. I don’t have to agree with the motivations behind your decision to see that it was a difficult one, and to know how rare it is for a dev team to turn sound such a big opportunity for publicity because it conflicts with their principles.

@4: The stuff Mike's said is not "understandable." It is, actually, full-out transphobic garbage.

I don't think PAX is off the menu because Jerry and Mike are assholes, but it's pretty tough to argue that they aren't assholes.

Please wait...
