About Gamerisms

If you’re tired of bigoted insults and incessant sandwich jokes that run rampant on many other gaming websites, Gamerisms is for you. We aim to give gamers a safe space to discuss their hobby, and we will do our best to ensure that you can get your gaming fix here without having to worry about stumbling across hateful material or unlabeled triggering content.

This Tumblr will feature feminist analysis of games, as well as critique of racism, LGBT* issues, ableism, and sizeism in games, among others. If you are unfamiliar with feminism, or the concepts of privilege and oppression, click here and here for definitions of these things and answers to frequently asked questions.

We also have a safe guild list here for people who play MMORPGs or other online games. Send an ask if you know of another one!

Click here for our ask box.
We are also open to submissions!
Trolls will not be fed.
