Chances are you never heard of Cooper Lawrence and chances are you will never again. Last week she went on Fox News to promote her new book, The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace With Your Inner Overachiever. She decided to call Mass Effect, the hit space RPG, video game porn. She went on and on to insult the game simply because of a 60 second “sex” scene, where you see the ass of one of the female aliens. Having never played the game herself, she passed judgment. How did the gaming nation respond? Thousands of gamers when to Amazon and gave her book the worst possible ratings and reviews catapulting it into oblivion. After realizing you don’t get into flame wars with gamers, she recanted.

I recognize that I misspoke,” she said. “I really regret saying that, and now that I’ve seen the game and seen the sex scenes it’s kind of a joke. Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it’s like pornography,” she added. “But it’s not like pornography. I’ve seen episodes of ‘Lost’ that are more sexually explicit.

So from Loot Ninja, and the rest of gamer nation, Cooper, fuck you lady. Thanks for trying out. Maybe next year, Gilmore.
