OMG I totally did some fanart of our darling Vickiipedia!!!

Don’t hate her cuz she’s beautiful, guys!! <3

LOLOLOLOLOL THIS IS AMAZING. I feel like I’m looking at the Mona Lisa omg.

You guys are awful.

No, seriously. I have no idea who this woman is, but if she’s as bad as this picture says she is, then you’re so much worse. People will say things they regret, or perhaps you won’t like what they say.

But what I find most disturbing, given the content and theme of your page, is the fact that you’ve continually hounded this girl when the subject could have just been dropped after a few giggles.

Instead, she’s the subject of your consistent berating. Assuming you’re here to raise awareness towards the silliness surrounding pushing people into the “girl gamer” stereotype, I would like to point out that this behavior that keeps showing up on my stream is just as bad as this behavior. While I do enjoy the other things you post, this has gotten to the point where the persistent negativity towards someone I don’t even know has tarnished much of the work that many communities, individuals and I have done to raise awareness about online harassment towards women in the video game industry.

It got old when it started.

reblogging for the above commentary. there’s a gigantic whiff of “one of the boys syndrome” coming from people who hate on girls that post pictures like this. Hate the fact that women are valued disproportionately for their appearance and desirability to straight males over anything else, not the women who fall into the trap :/
