I don't get what your point is. Am I supposed to pretend Mist is wrong even when I know she's right just because she thinks I'm retarded? That's exactly the kind of bullshit hypocrisy I call posters out on all the time. I highly doubt Mist is a woman, but it doesn't even matter. If she wants to...

Right. So does that make everyone else who continues making financial transactions online idiots? Why not? If we know the information is not secure but we do it anyway, aren't we all at least as stupid as these celebrities? Haven't we just been lucky enough not to have targeted up to this point...

2 issues with this: 1) If we all assume that privacy simply can not exist when using the internet, then that's the end of eBay, Amazon, PayPal, Steam, online banking, bitcoin, etc. I don't see people being labelled as stupid for doing their shopping online or paying their bills online or...

Why not? What do you think "taking control of your sexuality" means?

Ha ha ha what? the Victorian ideals of female sexual are under attack, you say? Nobody is seriously criticizing these actresses for how they choose to exercise their libidos, dude (nobody who matters, anyway). The problem is that people's private information is being stolen by hackers. Did...

No, it really isn't. Cars are cars and photos on a cloud are photos on a cloud. Being a celebrity might make you a more likely target, but the technicalities of hacking are the same whether the target is celebrity photos or puppy photos. White guys always seem to have the best solutions to...

Let me see if I get this: If a guy buys a Porsche, does he take part of the responsibility if that Porsche gets stolen? If he hadn't bought the Porsche, after all, there would have been nothing for the thief to steal. He knows damn well Porsches are sought after and nobody forced him to buy one...

I dunno, I don't consider those valid qualifiers... Anyway, it's clear that the privacy of these women has been violated, and that's not cool. I appreciate beautiful bodies more than most, and I'm not gonna pretend I didn't see any of the pictures posted on this board. But I don't think we...

Are those the only two choices?

Oddly tangentially and thematically relevant:

CEOs, everybody!

Oh, I just assumed you probably knew what you were talking about and the answer was likely zero. I haven't searched and I likely won't. Still, I don't remember anybody being comfortable with a stranger sharing your home address and threatening to kill your parents by name. I don't think that's...

Fair enough, but I was actually interested in the topic. Interested enough to vocalize something about it, just like everybody else who vocalizes about it. If you want your opinion to be in any way taken seriously, you can't do that without having put the minimum effort into recognizing valid...

OK, but when I was checking for information I wasn't even considering whether it was a mainstream source or not. By putting in the minimum effort, I was able to easily find many examples of intelligent criticism of Sarkeesian's work. I myself am personally more than willing to talk about some of...

Wait a minute, Lith. Unless I'm given a reason to doubt something, I will often take it at face value. When you say that people aren't being allowed to criticize Sarkeesian, I originally assumed that must be the case. Then I did some checking and found a few articles (and there are undoubtedly...

(For length)

I did want to get back to this. The fact that some, or even most "mainstream" journalists will defend the Sarkeesians of the world hardly "squelches debate". Search "Sarkeesian" on Youtube and the first 5 videos are all criticizing her. Any time her name has been mentioned on this board the vast...

Wait.. was I arguing with you? Oh yeah, I guess about the "Sarkeesian being dishonest" thing. The rest I suppose was directed at the crowd as a whole. Also probably as a hole. As a hole.

I don't even think Sarkeesian is being dishonest. I watched that video and kept waiting for the bass to drop, and I was like "Oh? That's what this whole 'Gotcha!' is about?" I'll absolutely admit that Sarkeesian has bias. I think she's jaded enough that she'll honestly see what she believes is...

Here's an interesting study done on sexism in the gaming community. 874 people participated, 499 male, 356 female (the rest didn't identify as either). Sexism in Video Games [Study]: There Is Sexism in Gaming On to how much harassment, what type, and who it was aimed at: So yeah, guys get...

You understand that words have slightly variable interpretations in different contexts, right? That's the whole reason dictionaries give multiple definitions instead of a "one size fits all" definition. If you call in a bomb threat that forces a plane to land, you will be accused of terrorism...

I think "assholes" would work just fine for females too.

Terrorism:: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion Better?

Fuck you for making me go back 2 pages. And in case you'd like to claim that quote is not indicative of you pretending someone else's problems aren't real, Cad picked up the ball for you: To Cad: This is the second time in 2 days you've expressed an interest in getting me RRPed. Am I that...

I wonder if you still think people believe you're a lawyer?

Did you even read the article? He wasn't "blaming" video games. He's a gamer and so am I, for Christ's sake. He was offering a reasonably interesting take on why assholes do the shit they do. You're the one insisting on turning it into "gaming culture killed my babies".

I suppose it's possible. MRAs certainly are. These sexist ASJAs certainly are. Maybe in the end the winner will be whoever destroys their side the least.

Oh, OK. To be clear, I wouldn't have a problem with any of those asshole's views if they just did what everybody else does and bitch to like-minded assholes in a circle jerk. However, if they're gonna cross lines, I have no problem exposing them as pathetic pieces of shit through snarky articles.

Pretty fucking apt, asshole.

I'm not calling someone an asshole for not agreeing with me, I'm calling someone an asshole for pretending someone else's problems are not "real" problems. That's a pretty asshole thing to do by any definition of the word "asshole". And again, this acting like an asshole generally doesn't...

This form of harassment targets femalesmuchmore than it does males. And the fact that much of this harassment involves reference to raping and genital mutilationmakesit sexist. You have a valid criticism of a woman? Don't bring her vagina into it and maybe you won't be called sexist.

Ah, I see. See, the reason I didn't even remember using the term is because I didn't realize it would be read as"X culture"(shudder). I didn't mean it as a prerogative term. I just meant that the article described how common shared experiences among gamers could lead to destructive and...

That's an astute observation. It's my "subtle" way of showing how easily certain labels and argument techniques can be flipped around and used against the people using them. My personal favorite is how often ASJWs (anti social justice warriors) throw out the term "playing the victim" while...

SJW? Dude, you just described every racist poster that's ever posted in the Michael Brown thread.
