"My openness to ppl different than me has brought nothing but joy to my life. Ppl who are intolerant are just missing out."
@LinzerDinzerTV

[GamersAgainstBigotry @GAB648]

"Women and genderqueer ppl are developers too. Why are we talking about them like they're not part of this conversation?"
@koalaparty

"EDI's an appealing character because she has a sense of humor... but when she turned into a robot... she's not for me anymore."
@koalaparty

[GamersAgainstBigotry @GAB648]

"One thing videogames could be doing... is expanding the idea of what is sexually appealing, what is attractive."
@SusanArendt

[GamersAgainstBigotry @GAB648]

"...it's a little too kneejerk... she is very much in ownership of her own sexuality."
@SusanArendt

[GamersAgainstBigotry @GAB648]

"Here's my issue with the Bayonetta hate. It seems to come from a place that an attractive character is inherently bad."
@SusanArendt

[GamersAgainstBigotry @GAB648]

"If you look at... how vocal [femshep players] were... it's paving a way to prove that yes... ppl do want these characters."
@SusanArendt

[GamersAgainstBigotry @GAB648]

"There's a couple themes that I want to see in games... just the idea that there would be games about being a mother..."
