Also, is it just me or are more of the comments in Elf's roundup about the "There aren't enough female characters in games!" than about "Wait, one of our own seems to be a skeevy rapist"?

The lack of female characters is an issue, yes. And yes, it's sad that there won't be a game (Though... I don't get the thing about "Well, if it was men, someone else would step up to take over". I'm sure I'm missing something but... why can't another woman start a game? There's evidence of an audience, evidence of support, what's the fundamental difference between men and women that makes women so allegedly incapable here?)

But. I feel like they're chosing to ignore that someone was raped because it's stepping on their funtimes.
