Great roundup and title as ever. Thank you.
New link: Tom Gauld print: “Characters for an Epic Tale”. Very interesting when viewed with attention to gender. *sigh*
Oops. Hit publish too soon.
Second new link: Nerve publishes sex advice from D&D players. Some bonus marks: they /do/ ask one (white) female out of the three (white) people they interview, and it isn’t completely heteronormative.
Wow, Nerve is still going! I used to read it all the time. I can’t remember why I stopped…
For note to the commenter in moderation who objected to the “Which men are rapists?”: the linked article does explain why they are talking about male rapist-female victim assaults, although it’s right at the bottom of their post. I’m sorry that the existence of the link triggered you. I’m not going to approve your comment though, because it’s explicitly anti-feminist, and anti-feminist comments are against our policy.
