Just checking in. Hope you're doing OK.

I'd call this year a dumpster fire, but that's an insult to dumpster fires. Hopefully next year is better...

And yet here you are, excused.

Be safe, be well, and take whatever time you need. We'll still be here.

For what it's worth, I'm a male gamer; I haven't seen any of Quinn's works, but I've watched several of Sarkeesian's videos, like them and for the most part, agree with them.

I really don't feel that my masculinity is threatened by, well, anybody in particular, let along female gamers. And I abhor what some other idiots have done in the name of theirs.

I will quote you a quote: "Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent." If the only way you can address criticism is by violence or threats of violence, then you've just lost. You've lost your argument, you've lost your moral position, and as far as I'm concerned, you've lost your right to be heard.
