ā¢your anxiety has made it difficult for you to voice your opinion
ā¢your anxiety has made it difficult to dress the way you want
ā¢your anxiety has made it difficult to ask for help
ā¢your anxiety has made you constantly worry if you are being annoying and wonder if your friends and family are valid relationships or if they just put up with you because they have to
And please know that you are not fighting this battle alone. You are worth more than your anxiety says. You matter and so does your opinion and your say.
You are awesome

This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Muneraās career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of bullfights. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this man.
Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: āAnd suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer - because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth.ā

Content warning: This post contains graphic language, slurs and triggering content
This article is heartbreaking. And true.
There is a reason I throttled back on doing a lot of creative gaming content a few years ago. And why I still avoid taking some jobs in the gaming world when theyāre offered to me. And why, when we have a female host on any of our Geek and Sundry gaming shows, we have to monitor the comments on YouTube extra, to remove the many comments that are offensive and pollute our communityās spirit of equality. Because I hate that shit.Ā
There is an endemic acceptance in the gamer world that āwell, it comes with the territoryā when a woman receives threats and harassment and the hateful anonymous internet dialogue is focused on her body and whether they would ādoā her or not. I donāt know why this became okay. Itās a vocal minority that has been given way too much power over the industry dialogue, and I am so happy to see more and more articles like this shining the light on whatĀ reasonableĀ gamer men and women have been conned into accepting as a given.
NOTHING is a given in this world. And frankly, it taints the art form we so love and keeps it back from becoming more respected and more diverse to not at least TRY to fight it. Gaming deserves more than complacency in this area.
Even posting this link will cause me to receive hateful Tumblr PMs. I can always tell when something I write gets linked on certain places on the internet (like 4 Chan or a few other forums of troll-hood), because Iāll immediately get dozens of hate mails along the veins of what is posted in this article.Ā
Well, Iām a lucky one to be prominent enough to have 10 supporters for every hater. I mostly feel sorry for girls and women who arenāt in my position, who may just give up on gaming when theyāre too beaten down to fight anymore.
We have to change that. For the good of what we love doing, gamers! Okay, back to work :)
This such a truthful and positive perspective from Felicia about an issue that Iām hugely passionate about and work daily to counteract, the vitriolic and unacceptable nature of online commenting, especially toward underrepresented and silenced communities. She has harnessed such a mature perspective on these issues, and Iāve learned a lot from following her work.
Please check out the linked Polygon article for a thoughtful piece that demonstrates some specific case studies without getting defensive or lashing out. Think about how you, men and women, might be contributing to these problems without thinking.
I donāt do much on tumblr. I mostly use it to look at funny gifs, reblog neat pictures, and see what my friends are doing on this part of the internet. Iāve tried largely to ignore the stereotype of its sizable vitriolic, pitchfork-wielding community looking to tear down just about anyone or...
