this is such a depressing read. studios are happy to exploit the labour and creativity of women & queer people & poc but then turn around and sacrifice them to a baying mob of bad actors who they believe are their core audience. did we learn no lessons from gamergate?

"The writers room is going strong, and we’ve got a lot figured out about how it fits within the Mass Effect canon, and[...]the new game."

The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.
