Article re: misogynism in gaming

I really know squat about gaming, but I've been keeping an eye out about the subject because 1) Fiona's interested in it, and 2) it seems to be one of the most interestingly seething, roiling arenas lately with regard to issues relating to feminism. Here is an exceedingly interesting article with careful reasoning about why challenging misogyny in the gaming world matters (written by a man). I've recommended this article to one of my favorite bloggers, Jim Hines [livejournal.com profile] jimhines, asking him to take a look and perhaps comment upon it.

One of the things I do when gaming to try and stand up against this kind of thing as opposed to just ignore it is use a link to the Backbone Zone in my profile or tagline: http://www.mecasa.org/backbone/materials.html.

What does Fiona play?
