MODERATORS
Hiratsuka Raichō, born on this day in 1886, was an anarchist writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her efforts helped legalize Japanese women joining political organizations in 1922.
Upon graduating from university, Hiratsuka founded Japan's first all-women literary magazine, Seitō (青鞜, literally "Bluestocking"), in 1911.
Hiratsuka began the first issue with the words, "In the beginning, woman was the sun", a reference to the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, and to the spiritual independence which women had lost. Adopting the pen name "Raichō" ("Thunderbird"), she began to call for a women's spiritual revolution.
Hiratsuka also founded the New Women's Association with fellow women's rights activist Ichikawa Fusae. It was largely through this group's efforts that the Article 5 of the Police Security Regulations, which barred women from joining political organizations and holding or attending political meetings, was overturned in 1922.

GTA IV: The Lost and Damned is... okay? I don't really like any of the characters and the missions aren't amazing either. Niko was a much more enjoyable protagonist, flaws and all. I appreciate the more serious tone of GTA IV and "realistic" driving, and since I normally reluctantly end up agreeing with "elitists" on gaming takes, but I don't think I'll end up replaying IV.
The direction they'll take with GTA VI will definitely be interesting. I hope they find a middle ground between the realism and set dressing of IV with the gameplay of V.
I'm very bearish on AAA gaming in general, so we will see. Pretty much all of my hotly anticipated titles are indies.
I never played the expansions to IV so it's still such a good game in my head
It's certainly not a bad game, I just didn't find myself loving it.
That's your right as a gamer
