After seeing that letter this Saturday morn on Andrea Hartman's apparent art bias, and thinking about the oft-debated scope of GIA, and what games they should cover, and what games they shouldn't... well, I'm getting really tired of bloody idiots who have nothing better to do but demand acquiesence from people that they don't pay or compensate in any way, and don't help. 	Let's make this clear: there are dozens of game fan sites out there. There are dozens of magazines, too, and a small horde of lame game-dedicated tv shows that run between midnight and eight in the morning. 	Maybe Andrea a little biased. She's, y'know, female, and maybe she wants to display some more of the female-directed art around. So, tough shit. If it bugs people so much, they can go to some other site and ogle naked female cartoon characters. Andrea's got her own perogative, and it's at least different from everything else out there. Every damn time someone percieves some sort of bisa they cry Fair Play. "Oh, I don't see that many naked _girl_ pics." "If we have guys, let's have girls, or nothing at all!" "A scene with gay overtones offends me. But I still clicked on the picture."	Get a life, you whiners, and get a clue while you're at it. Have some tolerance for someone who's doing work with a little bit of their own flavour thrown in. Don't drag everything down to the same generic, politcally correct, equality-conforming drivel that every other site out there has. Go look somewhere else. But don't trample god-damned originality and the hhonest _guts_ it takes to post pictures like that jsut because you got huffed up for the two minutes it takes to send an e-mail. Tolerance, people. Understanding, and appreciation of difference. I really don't see enough of this to garner even the least bit of respect.	Now, it may sound like I'm saying everyone who writes a complaint is scremaing "Dood, I HATE GAYYYYY FAGGEDY PICS!!!!!!!!!!!"	But if you examine one of the latest complaints about Andrea's pic section, you see a very serious proposal that there be segregated pic sections which feature either naked male or naked female art. This is exactly what I'm talking about. This is an absurd suggestion, and I guarantee you it'll never happen. For crying out loud, none of the guys in those pics are even explicitly naked. I've seen that much skin in a soap commercial. Try browsing the latest covers of muscle mugs at your 7-11. Should we have segregated magazine sections in stores now? You think someone's going to do all the bloody work of setting up two art sections? Of course not. It's not as if there's a plethora of sexual pics posted on GIA, anyway. Just deal with it and click on the other pics. That's what I did. I could see a naked Link pic there, I rolled my eyes, and skimmed my mouse past it. I didn't complain because I recognize the fact that some people actually want to see that. I don't, but so what? I don't hav	And after all that is said, let's not forget: Andrea posts a helluva lot of good, non-sexual art. She does a good job, and I think she's earned the right to exercise her judgement and use a little flair.	This same argument can be applied to everyone who's whined about GIA being rigid as a board concerning their mission statement and criteria. There are people who won't let the Vaulting of a game like River City Ransom go by without demanding the smae treatment of a half-dozen other side-scrolling games. The same thing with Castlevania:SoTN. Everybody keeps telling the GIA what to do as if they had any place to complain. Realize this, all you spoiled, discompassionate little twits: the folks of GIA do what they do for _free,_ and for _fun._ They do damn good work and put a lot of effort into it. If they don't conform 100% to your wishes, go make your own freaking site. And if they _want_ to Vault an adventure game simply because it's excellent, or it's a classic, or they just really want to do it, that doesn't mean that they have to follow some twisted ideology of Fair Play and review every other adventure game that's been played by people.	I'm certain the GIA folk don't mind suggestions, positive or negative. I'm sure they encourage and appreciate both. But there's a great difference between a suggestion and a whine. Next time _you_ write a complaint, remember that what you're doing is trying tell someone how to do their hobby. Imagine someone had the gall to do that to you. -- Rumor
