If you don\u2019t know who\u00a0Aisha Tyler<\/a>\u00a0is, shame on you. Here’s a quick rundown of her expansive resume: She\u2019s an actress, comedian, author, talk show host, and runs a successful podcast. Currently, she\u2019s the voice of gorgeous, sasquatch-handed Lana Kane in Archer<\/em>, which has wrapped up its fourth hilarious season. Tyler also emceed the Interactive Awards at SXSW 2013, and she interviews some of the more awesome comedians, musicians and actors, on her podcast Girl On Guy<\/a><\/em>. She tweets voraciously<\/a>. This July, she\u2019ll host\u00a0Whose Line Is It, Anyway?<\/a><\/em> when it comes to The CW for its big television comeback.<\/p>\n Basically, Tyler crushes it, and we love her for it.<\/p>\n Recently, the actress\/comedian\/everything else woman was briefly interviewed by PolicyMic.com<\/a> where she discussed in an article called “Aisha Tyler: How Gamers Can Help Stop Sexual Violence” some of the fallout from the gaming world when she hosted Ubisoft<\/a>\u2019s press conference at E3 2012. Tyler reminded addressed the response to the open letter she penned on her Facebook page to all the basement-dwelling, woman-fearing, light-scorning trolls that inhibit and inhabit the gaming world.<\/p>\n And for the record, for every sexist or negative comment I had online, there were 10 or more encouraging or supportive ones. So while there is still an outspoken contingent of people in the gaming community who try to discourage or lash out at women gamers, for the most part the community becomes more welcoming every day. I love games; and gamers all have that in common. A love of gameplay tends to level the field.<\/p>\n If you must engage, employ your allies. There are far more positive voices in the gaming community than negative ones. Retweeting a negative or sexist comment puts that person on blast with the larger community. Usually your friends and followers will do the dirty work of ripping this person a new one for you, which I admit with some sheepishness can be very enjoyable to watch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
