This thread on RT was so...um...does English have an apropos 
adjective?

A couple observations...

1)  you ended up in the top 5 "hottest influential women in 
gaming". Congrats?  (two 8/10 and three 7/10 rankings, which 
could net you a "tied for second", if you wanted the bragging rights)

2)  there's an odd level of irony, given your activism/interests 
in "women in gaming" and "women gamers" that they would choose to 
rank influential women in gaming on appearance.  My wild guess 
would be that the author of the original post(s) wouldn't rank 
all that high on a list of "hottest 
posters-on-other-people's-forums". :)

3)  nobody ranked over 8/10, though some of their movie 
selections did.  Sounds like they're better off in a dark room 
with a TV & DVD player than they would be actually relating to women.

people are so weird.  and it's no wonder that so many women have 
self-image problems, no thanks to folks like this.

Shalom,
