Yesterday, Kotaku mentioned that Carolyn Petit, associate editor of Gamespot, released some of her very first video reviews. She's a really great reviewer with her fair share of fans. Sadly, she has gotten some flack for her transgender identity from the site's commenter trolls. They compared her to Jay, the long-haired stoner from Silent Bob and Jay Strike Back and said things like "it's a 'she', I think." Gamespot has censored most of the worst comments, but should they have?
