[QUOTE="Gahars, post: 5137995, member: 282323"] [spoiler=Lest we forget...][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/RTfvCYe.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] So playable female characters are sexist, and not having playable female characters is sexist. Gee, Jon, it's almost as if you have no actual interest in accomplishing anything and instead waste your time trying to turn everything into some sort of hidden misogynistic, patriarchal conspiracy. Oh, you! I understand where you're coming from, but I guess I'm just a bit more optimistic. There's people in it for the laughs (and boy, there are tons of them), but the fact that it's lasted for so long and shows no sign of losing momentum is a good indication that it's not just some flash in the pan.

Enough of an actual, legitimate interest exists to drive people. You have to remember, too, that gamers are the sort of people that will grind endlessly for a single raid; it's a group practically groomed for a campaign of attrition. It's a good point from a decent episode, and that no doubt happens. That's why it's crucial that people keep getting the info out, provide reliable sources, etc. so that people can be well-informed and come to their own conclusions. All the traffic in the world doesn't mean a thing without ad money to keep things afloat.
