EDIT: In the interests of honest gaming journalism and all that, I would like to note that the story brought up around halfway through about the Tropes vs Video games lady being sued was a complete misappropriation of facts and never happened. In the interests of honest gaming journalism, I have ordered that Xevrex, the perpetrator of this antifactoid, shall be hung, drawn and quartered at dawn tomorrow. Thank you for your corrections!
