Hags of Lag – Jimquisition gets it
If you aren’t aware about the controversy regarding the game Remember Me, then here is a summary. Apparently the creator had to fight a lot to get his game released because there was the notion that you cannot sell a “Female Protagonist” in a game. It won’t sell. Dudes don’t like Kissing Dudes.

I Get Mail – Sex for the Gods
This was watched and reviewed at the Bengaluru/Bangalore Meeting of Freethinkers and it got me thinking and one of it’s members asked me if I could have look at it. It’s about the Devdasi or the sacred prostitutes of India. I am not against it, it’s not incorrect but it has a few misconceptions that …

Drive
If you didn’t see this clip two years ago then you should see it now. Manal Al-Sharif is the woman behind the wheel of the car. And she is the first woman to drive a car in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. ‘You know when you have a bird, and it’s been in a cage …

In the light of the Delhi rapes you may have noticed a couple of the MRA websites have rushed to defend the “so called Rights” of men in India. I does need to be repeated. Anyone who has read my blog is aware of the various “major” rapes that grip the news headlines out here. …

A Voice for Me – Naturally it’s Judgy Bitch on Whores and Big Red Steubenville Football
I haven’t been following the Steubenville rape case. Frankly? It’s out of my monkeysphere and news out here was pretty “rare”. However my understanding of it was that two kids who played American Football got together at some party where they grabbed a sixteen year old girl who had passed out from excess libations and …

Hags of Lag – Thunderfoot doesn’t get Regressive Crap
Cultural commentary has often not “got” games. Okay the word on a lot of game sites has been Anita Sarkeesian’s video. And there is something I realised. Thunderfoot is pretty strong among the gaming community. Nearly every person I normally play games with sent me this link either to cover, to rage about or in …
