Why do these women all have anime hair. Blue and pink are not hair colors. It's like the female equivalent of a guy wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora.

I wonder where can you get the dye to color your hair that way.

Walgreens.

You know it's even more ironic that all Roberto Rosario said concerning gamergate is this [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yKDta9h.png[/IMG] Even more ridiculous that there's still people out there defending the gamergate blocker. Literally, opposing genocide is harrassment now! I question whether the IGDA even knew what they were endorsing and how it actually worked, because if they did, wow.

They removed it from the IGDA site This is the explanation: [URL]https://twitter.com/IGDA_ED/status/536193409867079680[/URL] Basically: "Oops well you can't sue us anyway! Third party!"

Funny thing, that chairman ASKED to be whitelisted. They depicted it as a threat. What was he going to do, kiss their boots? That's not reality. Whoever this SJW Aryan Vivian is... they got no hope.
