Well I’m sure you’ve heard about the Fox News lambasting of Mass Effect by Cooper Lawrence by now. Turns out that gamers are so pissed that they have brought her Amazon book ratings down. Her book now has 359 one star reviews. It doesn’t end there either. If you look at the tags associated with her book you’ll see terms like bigot, hypocrite, garbage and ignorant. I sent an email to Cooper and her publicist in an effort to help Cooper redeem herself. I’ve offered her a chance to actually PLAY Mass Effect and apologize to the public for the lies and misinformation she spread. For now, enjoy some of these review snippets from her Amazon page.
“Do not buy this book! It is filled with graphic sex acts and full frontal nudity. The sad thing is that most of the information and supposed “facts” are complete lies. And to top it all off this book is marketed towards children, disgusting!”
“Her testimonials on TV have been backed by blatant prejudice and lack of research, and if anything she is trying to bank off of catering to extremist right wingers. This book is no different in addition to encouraging violent acts with children and granting them exposure to full on female nudity as a man looking for the snatch. Keep this book far away from your homes, lest you damage your children.”
“This book contains full, frontal nudity and explicit descriptions of graphic sex acts. What’s worse is that it’s marketted toward children! This book teaches young boys that women are objects and have no value other than their sexuality. I’ve gotta go with the research, darling.”
“Some of these reviews might be from immature teens pissed off at how you vented on Mass Effect, but this is coming from someone who actually works in the business.
You seriously have some nerve to talk down on such a piece of art that took years of sweat to bring out to us that enjoy this form of media. You talk down on it, as if woman are used as tools when CLEARLY, you’re too stubborn and posh to play it yourself. As Geoff told you, maybe you forgot that you can BE a woman in it and one of the MAIN 2 characters ARE FEMALE.
So please, continue your little feminist vibe here, I find it very inappropriate how you acted on the show..and I sent you a peaceful and mature email by the way, only to get sent back to this and still no response.
Very kind of you.”
