Of course, seeing that women are systematically oppressed in our society (and in gaming), I think our spaces are a little more necessary, but who am I to say you can't create your own. If nothing else, I know who to avoid...

  • Thanks for actually taking the time to read what I shared. Most don't. Good luck in the world, guardian!
