Irregular Updates

To do this, he downloaded 130,524 articles from 37 RSS feeds of 23 outlets, including The Escapist, Rock Paper Shotgun, CVG, Edge Online, Eurogamer, Gamasutra, Game Informer, GamePolitics, GamesBeat, GamesIndustry International, GameSpot, GamesRadar, IGN, IndieGames, Joystiq, Kotaku, Massively, MCV, NowGamer, PocketGamer.biz, Polygon, Shacknews and VG24/7, published over a period of twelve months. He then did a search on how often these games articles mentioned sexism, feminism, or misogyny.

The result? Over a period of one year, 0.41% of 130,524 articles referenced feminism, feminist, sexism, sexist, misogyny, and misogynist explicitly.

That’s less than half of one percent.

But candid photos of a baby person? Nah not so much.

Rest in Peace, Anton Yelchin

Sophie Okonedo in The Hollow Crown

It sickens me that after three years of posting my research, there are still people who look at images as beautiful as these and say that it’s wrong. This is a Shakespeare adaptation; are you seriously sitting there thinking that everyone’s in Shakespeare’s writing, or in Elizabethan England, was white? The idea of people of color existing outside where YOU think they should be is somehow ridiculous?

and it seems lots of people are to afraid to say anything

and totally agree

If I’m wrong, go ahead and tell me why I’m wrong. Show me some links, documents, artworks, citations or precedents. Explain why the director of the miniseries’ claim that he chose the best possible actress for the role is wrong:

Dominic Cooke explained the decision to cast Sophie in what is considered to be a traditionally white role, saying: “Well, in the theatre we’ve been doing this for donkeys years.”

He said that he wanted to go with the actor who was “right for the part” rather than any other factor.

Dominic went on to say: “I think Sophie is the best person in this country to play that part, I really do. Her visceral power and range is so extraordinary - that’s what I was really looking for.

And hey, when you can’t attack the truth of what someone has to say anymore, you try to cast aspersions on who and what they are  to try and discredit what they have to say. Because that’s a wholly new and original concept, right?

Every time we see a sign of real, concrete change, there’s twice that amount of backlash. I post pictures like these ones of Sophie Okonedo because so many people STILL have a massive, vocal problem with seeing an actress of color, especially a Black actress, playing a Medieval European role. I’m really not sure how any of you who’ve commented really can believe, or that anyone else can believe, that you care about “the truth” when it’s painfully obvious that what you really care about is Whites Only, Forever.

because this cis man just entered a public women’s restroom with the express intent of hurting this woman.
