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 ->-bleeped-<- 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?
