I don’t even…

A set of games in the background, a controller up front. The symbol of feminism, a closed fist in the sign of woman, on top.

... wow... I'm like... okay? What?! I was just looking around on Steam and lo and behold - the most sexist game yet? As I think I mentioned in my GTAV blog posts and the article me and Maria Myhr wrote for Aftonbladet about GTAV, there's a fine line between satire and well - not... Continue Reading →

Moralpaniken och politiken

Det är väl ingen som har lyckats undgå det uttalande som Tomas Tobé från Moderaterna fått fronta i medier nyligen.
