Pastebin that Kotaku link. As a friend on Twitter put it: "A click for Kotaku is like a vote for terrorism"
-Despite having no opinion on Kotaku whatsoever, proceeds to rapidly click on the Kotaku link and even their banner adds out of pure malicious spite-

Aw, now why would you do that?
Because I am made of pointless anger! RAWR I SAY!
Something strange...
Yeaaaah, there is such a massive divide between the amount of effort involved in people suggesting games they think fit, and the playing-the-game-and-making-a-video parts that I'm just not seeing how this is getting other people to do work for her. It's not like she's asking other people to write scripts for her.
Is this "Damsel in the Refrigerator" thing actually all that common? The only thing much like it I can recall seeing in a game was in Ar tonelico 2. (And it started in the middle, ended *also* in the middle, and the other female protagonist was arguably more important in resolving the situation, so *shrug*.)
"So... the time has come for you to meet your demise..."
Even the creator of the Women In Refrigerators site agrees that it's gotten out of hand.
Something strange...
... That's kind of vague. Got a link where we can see what precisely is out of hand here?
"So... the time has come for you to meet your demise..."
I don't have one. I just recall a statement that she felt the term was being overapplied to the point of losing all meaning.
Something strange...
Ah. Okay then. I just wasn't sure what you were actually referring to there.
"So... the time has come for you to meet your demise..."
I'm sure TV Tropes has never had that problem at any point nor will it in the future.
...

Ah yes, "Tarsen's memory"
His alleged capacity to recollect past experiences.
We have dismissed that claim.

“Ah, yes, ‘Reapers’. The immortal race of sentient starships allegedly waiting in dark space. We have dismissed this claim.”

Hey, I think everyone on the thread can agree signing this petition
would be a positive in any case.
Man I wish my parents ignored traditional gender roles enough as a kid to buy me an easy bake oven*, maybe then I'd actually be able to prepare myself something heartier than a frozen dinner today.

Dude.
Scrambled eggs.
They are below entry-level of difficulty.
cannot into space
Go find a copy of Alton Brown's "I'm just here for the food".
It teaches you HOW and WHY and WHAT to cook, not just a recipe book. It is helping me learn what "searing" means, what the SCIENCE behind searing is, why it makes food good, what foods to sear, and how to generally sear, as opposed to a step by step recipe.
It's akin to buying a map instead of just getting a printed set of directions. Sure, the directions will get you there, but what if a road's closed? What if you go the wrong way?
Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.
but will it make cooking fun?
frankly, i get so bored cooking i sometimes start little fires to spice it up.
the experience i mean, not the taste.
Random plug yaaaaaaaay.
Still think we need a boy's easy bake oven.

If one can't make even a scrambled egg, then this person is a failure as a human!

It's my crippling laziness that handicaps me more than any lack of knowledge or skill.
Disregarding brony's entirely, MLP has been a huge hit with kids of both genders, hasn't it? It's a shame more companies don't take note of that kind of thing.

It doesn't even take more than 3 minutes to make a scrambled egg!
