Innocence? Ha! These little-girl icons were possessed by random web surfers, each channeling the cruel aggression that lurks within.
If life were a perpetual recess, then Sissy Fight would be that lawless wasteland at the end of the playground. Only two could survive; the rest collapsed in a helpless pool of tears, their self-esteem systematically picked away by merciless opponents.

It started innocently enough. Once upon a time, there was a web site called Word.com. It's gone now, replaced by a grownup site for someone named Merriam-Webster. But when the experimental writing site hooked up with an adjunct professor at the Parsons School of Design and New York University, ruthless doppelgangers were unleashed for the ids rampaging within us all.

Raw experiments in online sociology gave way to furious back-stabbing, calculated scheming. And ultimately, despair, your icon hopelessly typing powerless totems like "All your base are belong to us" before being reduced to tears.

It's a game, and so much more, absurdly exposing the below-the-surface schoolyard that haunts our world. Five years have passed, but just as childhood is never truly gone - neither is Sissy fight.
