Geek and Misandry

Anonymous asked: Do you feel bad when people call your posts embarrassing, like that witness me gamer salt one?

Hmm, no. I mean, maybe there was a time when I would have been but I’m pretty unapologetic now. I’m allowed to have emotions and I try not to feel bad about them. When people refer to it as a tantrum I try not to distance myself from my emotions, because I am so used to having to appear calm in order to be taken seriously. 

But, like, I get angry. I want better representation for all kinds of women and it matters to me and I think it’s ok to be angry about it. Sometimes I get silly and playful and that combines with my anger and I make those posts. 

I don’t care if I make silly boys cringe, I’m like a lemon that way. I don’t care if you think I’m throwing a tantrum, I’ll burn your house down …with the lemons!

I’m a feminist, I want women to be better represented, I want them to feel safe in the gaming community, when they aren’t I get angry. I’m ok with that.
