Dear Sandy Fontiwt,

Your comment notes that you did not play this game.

It's certainly not a game for children. That's why we rated it for TEENS and older. (as noted on our website) The gameplay is meant be naughty, but not mean or destructive. Your gang of girls go out into the world and confront meanness and destruction. They must survive and overcome it. By the end of the full story, they drive their town to see it's failings. The game is social satire. So yes, there are lousy things in the world. The full story offers a tiny note of insight into why and how to deal with or prevent them, hopefully in a fun way that isn't preaching.

For example, during the tutorial players have to overcome the adversary, Bully Girl. A little experimentation reveals that the quickest way to defeat her is to ignore her.

Who would ever think a game might want to improve the world? What's that old, feminist slogan? 'A well-behaved woman rarely makes history.'

I hope you'll try it out with that in mind.

This is a piece of (something). - mac_game_playa

Based on the game name and description, I started writing a reply (before I had downloaded the game) with comments such as "Naughty? Oh, how very clever and creative and unique. You went right to the heart of what our society needs more of. Especially teens." and "Win boyfriends and other disposable tools." Feminist? Nah!"

I was wrong to judge too quickly.

After downloading the game and playing a few minutes I now feel bad --- that I wasted my time. And that you wasted my time.

Although I couldn't stand to play for very long, it seems as though the controversy and hype are misleading. I just want all of the application files off my computer.
