Gamestop is trying to spice all things Guitar Hero up with a competition that involves you sending in a photo of your family, or mom in particular, to them for a chance at wining grand prizes.

We try hard here at kezins.com to present a sane point of view on gender issues in the gaming industry. Kotaku takes the whole thing in a “milf” direction and only feeds the misogyny. I’m overstating it for dramatic effect, of course, but after a few years of participating in the online gaming community one can’t help but feel that people need different perspectives on these sort of things.

This isn’t of course just concerning gaming. This is about the music industry as well, and if we were going to talk about that… well, this just wouldn’t end now would it?

So, to keep this short, think about these things from a different perspective than the normal “dude she’s a total milf”-perspective, that’s all we ask of you. No need to pick sides or anything, just try to acknowledge that these things are present in our culture.
