I mean, it's completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand: how Silicon Valley lionizes smart and/or ND men while completely ignoring smart and/or ND women born during the same rise in tech. So yeah "think how tough your grandma had it" feels weird at best.

these points, but I've never found a good way to articulate why without getting into the weeds of what makes a game a game or how to define what is art. So when "games aren't art" people trot this kind of point out, I'm not sure how to push back.

Roger Ebert made an argument a decade ago that has bothered me ever since. "One obvious difference between art and games is that you can win a game. It has rules, points, objectives, and an outcome." And that if a game doesn't have those things, then it creates to be a game. I disagree with both of

Arguing with the dead, no, but the dead leave a legacy, especially figures like Ebert. His 2012 essay on why no game could ever be art, no matter how beautiful or engaging is still out there for the "games are not art" crowd to pull arguments from, unfortunately.

Not only that they weren't art, he said they COULDN'T be art on principle. Their nature, their definitions, in his mind, made them mutually exclusive.

Did you read the article? If so, I'm curious where you saw any of that in it. The whole point of the article is see women as people first, as equals, & be happy and confident in yourself regardless of rejection. That being a nice person benefits you, your relationships, & society as a whole.

That's almost exactly what the article says.

Ok, so I was curious and did the extra steps. Looks like she blocked 7 people in regards to this.

There's always clearsky, though that requires some extra steps.
