http://www.cuppycake.org/ - Exploring social media, gaming, and virtual worlds with a feminist and LGBT viewpoint.
Man, I can’t believe it’s been 5 whole years since World of Warcraft launched to the world, and even longer than that since I started playing it in beta! Say what you will about the game, it has been a major impact on the MMO game industry since it exploded onto computers ...

WoW.com has chosen LGBT guild (or rather, family of guilds), “The Stonewall Family” to be November’s Guild of the Month. Woohoo! The Stonewall Family are a “sister guild” to my WoW guild “Taint” which are also on Proudmoore (the unofficial ...

Today, November 20th, is the International Transgender Day of Remembrance. It’s the day for silent vigils, for dedicating a candle in memory of all of the people who have been murdered simply because of their gender identity. Because someone wasn’t comfortable in their presence. ...

In my previous post , I solicited for some guest bloggers in the realm of gaming and LGBT issues, feminism, women’s rights, and other forms of awareness. There has been an OVERWHELMING response, to the extent that I have joined up with two other fantastic ladies in the creation ...

I have been thinking a lot lately about the void in blogging to really target some issues that I think are glazed over in other game journalism. I’m talking gay issues, alternative culture, transgender issues, feminism, politics, equality, etc. and how they relate to video games, ...

As seen on Negative Gamer, Evony are up to their disgusting advertising still. Granted, these girls weren’t exactly in porn, they are just stock photos that happen to have also been used in porn. Nonetheless, ugh.
They sure do know how to draw attention to themselves, however I ...

I’m a bit late on reporting this one, but apparently a group of students from the all-male St. Paul’s College at Sydney University created a “Define Statutory” Facebook group with the goal being to promote pro-rape culture . Facebook allowed this public group to exist ...

If that blog title didn’t catch you, I don’t know what will. After all, Felicia Day is the ULTIMATE example of “guys want to be with her, girls want to be her”. (Well, some girls want to be with her too…but that goes without saying…)

Remember back in the day when I used to spotlight and feature bloggers all over the place? Ugh, I’ve really been an absolutely terrible blogger as of late. I’m really trying to shift the focus of this blog to cover predominantly feminist, LGBT, and alternative culture in virtual ...

Like many other people, I am hooked on Dragon Age. I bought it for the PC (since my boyfriend is hogging the 360 in the other room with HIS copy) and I’m trying not to play it so much that I neglect some other projects I am working on.
I have to say, it’s fan-freaking-tastic. ...

I haven’t been following LotRO too well, admittedly. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous and I liked my class when I was playing, however I was completed turned off by the lack of soloability in the main storyline. I didn’t want to have to find a group to progress though.

I couldn’t let this one go without commenting on it.
In a not at all surprising move, Blizzard are now selling adorable little in-game pets for $10 each on their store. We’ve seen them selling services such as character moves and race changes, and this is the next logical ...

It feels like everywhere I go, people are talking about Torchlight and how great it is. I felt the need to try it out, so I downloaded the demo last night. I was pretty blown away by how fun, polished, and awesome the game is. I played an alchemist, and had a really fun time playing. I ...

According to Massively , a Chinese company, Aurora Technology is now requiring web cam verification of gender in order to pick a character’s gender. The goal? To make avatars an exact interpretation of real life gender, i.e., no males playing female characters.
