Cooper Lawrence, tje psychologist and author who appeared on a debate on Fox News about Mass Effect, has gotten a taste of her own medicine. In the cringeworthy debate, shown above, she lays into the ‘inherent sexism’ of Mass Effect and the terrible effect it will have on the children. Despite admitting to never having played the game herself, and completely ignoring the arguments put forth by Geoff Keighley (of Spike TV), Lawrence managed to score big points with the sensation-hungry Fox people.

But gamers have decided to hit her back where it hurts: On the Amazon reviews page for her latest book. Around 40 people who simple couldnt stand the hypocirisy of someone cricitising something they know nothing about, managed to bring her book’s average rating down to 1 star. Needless to say, you don’t mess with gamers.
