I tend to keep my mouth shut about fan-related stuff ever since I caused a huge flap on Facebook by complaining about the awful looking Wonder Woman pilot that got floated out last year. Even my brother got on my case! Some comic book artists I know (male) also got kind of shirty with me about it, so I figured I was running alone into some entrenched headwinds.

Most women I know would buy and love games full of women kicking ass. I tend to play less active games like Civ, so I've never known if there are other women who noticed or cared about the lack of women in it.
