“The thing is, it’s actually NOT okay to have your cake and eat it too when it’s hypocritical to do as such. If you know that you’re adding to the misogyny and homophobia of a community that is extremely primed for it, how is that okay? You recognize that the columns about Japan rely on the “Asians are WEIRD” trope that is unhealthy, but you’re fine with it because it’s funny. The Male Gaze is mentioned and dismissed in the same breath, showing that you are aware it exists yet neglect to apply it to the kind of content Kotaku produces to explain why minority groups are turned off by the site.”
Wardrox's Collection of Thoughts
I'm John Kershaw, mostly known as being responsible for Nukezilla. Coffee, videogames, feminism, roller derby (I skate for Manchester Roller Derby, my derby name is Sausage Roller. Good, isn't it?), writing and other fairly nerd-related things all float my boat. This Tumblr blog is a collection of things of interest to me.
