Many women involved in the gaming community have suffered at the hands of male gamers and enthusiasts. GameSpot game reviewer Kallie Plagge is just the latest woman to be assaulted by an immature prick with nothing better to do. But she took matters into her own hands and decided to fight back - by finding and snitching on him to his mother. We normally advice against snitching (you don't want to risk getting stitches) but this exchange was particularly satisfying. Plagge shared the conversation to Twitter, and pretty much everyone had a fiery roast or enthused congratulations for the writer. She deserves all props.

Iranian music streaming site Melovaz has recently come under fire for doing something, uh, strange - they've erased all female music artists from album art on their site while leaving their male counterparts untouched. The double standards here are likely due to Iran's strict rules about Muslim women not being seen uncovered, which Melovaz apparently has also extended to non-Muslim women in the media.
The following are some examples of such that will probably make you laugh and then immediately feel sad for humanity.
In this day and age, women in the Western world have the freedom to pursue almost anything they want. Unfortunately, there are some people who feel the need to broadcast their regressive views from the 1950s over social media. We're totally all for women doing whatever they want - housewifery included - but this Twitter user made her husband sound like a straight-up manchild who can't take care of himself.
With the cost of living constantly skyrocketing, being a housewife without a full-time job isn't really an option for most women anymore, and these Twitter users masterfully parodied this woman's tweet with all of that in mind!
Who knew the answer to huge problems in our society were actually so simple! This meme, known as "Well Boys, We Did It" which features the penguins from the movie Madagascar, sarcastically offers solutions to big cultural problems like racism, sexism and bullying with ideas that'll make you yell out, gee why didn't I think of that!

If only Nate Silver could've known that his electoral map tweets would inspire the latest hilarious meme movement. Silver was attempting to illustrate how the election would turn out if only men, or only women turned out to vote based on a polls-only forecast. The blue map showed Hillary winning big time, while the red shows Trump with the easy victory. Shortly after all this, Eric Trump pushed the men-only electoral map as a 'hint' momentum was on their side. Let the hilarity ensue.

And I quote, as posted on their Facebook page over the weekend:
"We have announced today that Black Desert Online will get special butt pose victory animations in the new Crimson Battlefield PvP mode, which was added as part of the Mediah Expansion earlier this week.
"The Crimson Battlefield is an instanced 40v40 PvP mode which can be entered in groups of five or individually. When players emerge victorious, their characters will flaunt their buttocks right before the end results screen appears. The new animations are unique to each class and will be available to both genders."
The first series of butt pose animations will be added during next week's maintenance and will be made available at no additional cost. A wider range of optional butt pose animations will be made available through the cash shop at a later stage."
