		<description><![CDATA[In Kotaku&#8217;s grand tradition of shoddy reporting and lack of any decent research, Brian Ashcraft has written an impassioned but so supremely hypocritical article on the RapeLay controversy (link roundup) that I felt compelled to briefly bring this blog temporary out of retirement in order to take it down. Since this topic is triggering, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know this blog is in retirement (my internet time these days is practically nill), but when I saw Meloukhia&#8217;s An Open Letter to Feministing (hat-tip: Hoyden About Town) I had to cosign it. 
Yes, it&#8217;s that important.

		<description><![CDATA[First off, it has been noted that the de-ranking wasn&#8217;t limited to GLBT issues and erotica, but also notably affected books on disability and sexuality as well as feminist books, books on sexuality, and books on topics such as suicide prevention and rape.
In terms of the massive PR fail that has been going on, Amazon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m sure everyone has heard by now, but Amazon has recently made the decision to remove the sales rankings of so-called &#8220;adult&#8221; books in order to ensure that they don&#8217;t show up in some searches (like the default search) and bestseller lists.
Their rationale? The censoring books primarily written by and for queer people (and, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Nice White Gamers,
I am glad that you, unlike the Not Nice Gamers, understand that we don&#8217;t live in a post-racial world. It&#8217;s nice that you&#8217;re able to see the the word &#8220;racism&#8221; in the same paragraph as &#8220;video games&#8221; and not launch into the &#8220;it&#8217;s just a game!&#8221;-type knee-jerk reactions that can be summed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I had never heard of Graham Linehan before, he&#8217;s apparently a writer for some fairly popular UK comedies, including one called The IT Crowd.
Now, apparently there was a recent episode of that show that included a sub-plot involving a transwoman named April. The plot was basically that Douglas, the Asshole of the show, goes [...]]]></description>

Racism is satire when &#8220;progressives&#8221; do it!
I am not a regular reader of The New Yorker, but I have never been a huge fan of their cartoons. Some of them have made me chuckle, some of them have made me roll my eyes, and many more have just provoked a, &#8220;Okay&#8230;&#8221; kind of blah reaction. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a subject that&#8217;s been sticking in my craw for a long time now, ever since it became an issue on Iris&#8217; forums over a year ago. It was from the conflicts that arose there that I realized that most feminists &#8212; even ones who are aware of intersections such as racism and homophobia [...]]]></description>

I did consider writing a detailed post debunking this, but I&#8217;m very busy with school and there are better things to spend my time on than engaging with commenters who are trying [...]]]></description>
