I thought the gaming world was over the sexist thing; apparently I was wrong

I'd hate to tell her that the gaming world still isn't entirely over it 25 years later

ok im sorry but how in the hell someone 25 years ago thought sexism was done in the gaming world? almost all the adverts for games back then were sexy bikini models telling you how much of a pussy you are for not playing their game. DO NOT watch old video game awards shows.

I guess she expected better from gaming media for some reason? It wasn't just this one letter, actually. I was flipping pages and landed on this letter but after posting I noticed the entire previous page was filled with other angry responses from other female readers to the same sexist article, lol
