A few more practical ideas (rather than unproductive mud-slinging).

Amen. I wrote something like this not too long ago.

I always find it odd that people feel the need to raise awareness of minorities in groups, however, the irony of raising awareness makes said minority seem MORE like a unicorn than something that should have just been initially assumed as the norm.

I personally don’t care what gender the player on the other end of the screen is. Your gender is not going to benefit me in anyway, so it just shouldn’t matter.

The problem with “booth babes” is that they get eyes on the target, where marketing people want them to be. Sex sells and it always will. We are inherently sexual beings and it will be our greatest weakness for millenia to come.

I am ashamed of the fact that we are in this endless catch 22, damned if you do damned if you don’t world of gender, race and whatever equality.

I just wish the world would grow up, but it’s not likely to.

But I feel you…
