Tidy up Tuesday #53

Clearing things up this week:


Since apparently there’s a lot of confusion (as in – lack of reading comprehension) in notes under the Symmetra follow up post; for the record: Blizzard are the ones saying that the feedback and the stats mean Symmetra is currently nonviable


Detailed rules for our Halloween contest, including the deadline (Nov 20), are available on this subpage


We encourage everyone, despite artistic skill, to take part in the competition. As long as artwork is finished, readable and within the contest rules, it’s totally eligible for a win! We’re intending to judge creative ideas, not skill levels of the contestants. Good luck!

Oh, and just in case you didn’t catch up on why pale white vampire Symmetra counts as whitewashed, we elaborated on in yesterday, including plenty of illustrative links.

Some notices to catch up on


Rose of Winter got greenlit recently and is pending release!


We do look forward to featuring it on BABD’s Steam Curator page!


Before submitting/messaging us, please check with the search bar whether we touched of the subject already.


Sadly no, Haydee is not a joke (or a satire) – the developer stands by it and so do it’s fans.  If you’re interested in seeing just how lifeless the game is, we recommend watching Jim Sterling play it. (ht: @red-queen-on-the-heathen-throne)

Longer tidy up after two weeks:


Rose of Winter’s playable DEMO (with music by Undertale’s Toby Fox) is here! Check it out to see how it’s worth all the support on Steam Greenlight!


While lack of helmet isn’t realistically a good thing for armor design (and often gets used as a tool of gendered double standards – hence it’s on the bingo), we do not think an otherwise positive example should be considered ruined or invalid because of it.


Don’t feel shy to send us a redraw/redesign of bad armor, we’d be happy to have it among positive examples!


When submitting a bingo to BABD, mark it however you want, even in MS Paint. Ozzie, for example, uploads blank card to her sta.sh and scribbles on it with deviantArt Muro – feel free to do the same if you have dA account.


Things we addressed before: 


Oh, and for those who are still enraged at our male empowerment tag – remember that avoiding it is as easy as not following our blog.  Avoiding similar examples with female characters is as simple as traversing to an alternative reality or moving to another planet.

A few things to catch up on this week


Things we addressed before:


We also have have people referring us to more positive examples than we can really feature in a week without derailing the focus of the blog, so here’s a few we thought we’d share here:
