The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 36: Nerd Rage! Geek Gender Relations

from Lucky 10,000 · host Evan Harris

This week Evan and Carissa solve gender relations! OK, not really, but we do discuss some of the more prevalent issues between the genders within the overarching geeky communities - most specifically in gaming culture.  While we won't be winning any Peace Prizes for our contribution here, we take a moderate, common sense, humanitarian look at some of the misapprehensions, misunderstandings, and misogyny that plague games and geek ventures in general.  Sparked by a particularly egregious incident at the Dota 2 Shanghai Major tournament, Carissa explains both of the friendzones (and how to get out of them) before tackling a more serious problem. Remember, you don't need to be a White Knight to be a decent human being. Warning: some offensive language presented.
