PAX East: "A Quick Reminder"

The Penny Arcade Expo and the owners of the Penny Arcade brand:

• Slut-shames paid cosplayers 
• Tried to sell rape-culture merchandise, 
• Denied the existence of trans people, 
• Openly regretted having to pull their rape culture merchandise & 
• Covered up sexual assault among their Enforcers 

Women and minorities are already treated like an invasive species in conventions and nerd culture. If you know all of this, and still go to PAX, you are supporting everything wrong with what's supposed to be an open and inviting space. You are not just "part of the problem"... You ARE the problem. 

YOU ARE WHY THE VIDEO GAME CULTURE SUCKS.
