Obviously, there are a lot of great regular gaming sites we would recommend, many of which often take feminist angles or write about representation in games, but it’s not like we need to direct you to a site like Paste Magazine or Polygon, or writers like Kotaku’s Patricia Hernandez; you’re probably already reading them. If, however, we’ve missed something you think should be included here, let us know! We may never be able to manage the one true master list, but there can never be too much spotlight on voices so often silenced.
