    Recently, a petition went up on change.org calling for Target to pull Grand Theft Auto V from being sold. The petition makes the claim that the game "encourages players to murder women for entertainment" and that there is an "incentive to commit sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get 'health' points." The game does not encourage the player to murder women. The game also does not provide "health" points as a reward for killing women. The only somewhat true statement...

Sony was (and is!) famous for engineering great electronics, audio equipment, and many other consumer devices.

  • #GamerGate Harasses Brianna Wu Again, This Time Following the Death of Her Dog

    If the name Brianna Wu doesn't ring a bell, it should. The last time we had a story on Wu, it was because the hate-fueled online mob known as Gamergate drove her and her husband out of their own home out of fear. Now, Gamergate has once again decided to make her a target of harassment. Well, I say that like they haven't been constantly harassing her on a near daily basis already. What I should say is that these past few days, Gamergate has greatly stepped up their harassment against Wu. Why? ...
