First we were bad people for dismissing her and now we are bad people for trying to silence her? Let's stick to the first one. At least that is something we are actually doing.
Her opinion is so hyperbolic as to be not something worth spending time discussing. There's no conversation to be had. No one has any obligation to give serious critical attention to rhetoric of that scale. Where would you even begin? "Hello Mr. Developer of Hitman 3, are the players meant to...
"Players are meant to derive a perverse pleasure from desecrating the bodies of unsuspecting virtual female characters. It's a rush streaming from a carefully concocted mix of sexual arousal connected to the act of controlling and punishing representations of female sexuality. The player cannot...
Oh man, just think of the opportunities for debate such a video would allow for. And if anyone said it was ridiculous you could attack them for not taking your hyperbolic nonsense seriously!

Like I said I didn't know anything about this up until just recently and I haven't watched any of her other videos but did she do one on that one Metroid everyone hated where Samus was the victim of a complete and total character assassination? That would have been a good game to highlight on...
It's not a point to be disagreed with. It's objectively wrong. Intentionally misrepresenting something is not how you create a discourse. It's how you advance an agenda. I am not in the wrong for not wanting to treat an intellectually dishonest piece of claptrap as some great opportunity to...
Actually, I don't need her to be any of the things you think I need her to be. I didn't really know a single fucking thing about any of this until I watched that particular video. Hey, this chick be lying. I haven't been following her, her bullshit, the responses to her bullshit, or any sites...
No, see. No. You made a post about how people see things one way and other people see things another way and that you don't care about motivations. This isn't about relativism. In the Hitman video she lied and she misrepresented the game and what it was about. What she did was no different than...
She didn't say the game encouraged you to kill and drag around sexualized women. She said "the male participant cannot help but treat these virtual women as objects" She portrays that as being the object of the game. Those are lies. Trying to portray that video as "I see things one way and you...
Having a set of nonbasics at each rarity makes some packs really weird. I had just a stack of them in my pool with more than one pack having four. With nonbasics potentially eating up so many slots and general pack distribution there are going to be some drafts where a color can't even support...
I too am in agreement with the idea that if you set low expectations that people will tend to rise no further. Mist should definitely be made to do at least three pull ups.
The Navy's nuclear school is kinda what you are looking for. The candidates have disproportionately high drop out rates, suicide rates, and commonly burn out after a single tour.
Picture a gigantic string of coin flips. Thousands and thousands of flips. There are going to be chunks that are disproportionately heads and chunks that are disproportionately tails. Over the long haul there will be as many of each as the other but the right chunk at the right time would land...
There's a nice middle/upper middle class white high school with a 95% graduation rate (the one I went to) that is less than an hour away from a dozen schools with sub 50%. The students in those schools are not held to the same standards.
So you actually don't disagree at all then with the gist of the article. You just wanted to laugh derisively at current educational standards.
Okay then.
Only if you envision a 50% win rate as winning a game and losing a game or if the player immediately stops playing once achieving Legendary and thus is stopping at some point where the flips disproportionately fell in his favor (and thus does not have a 50% win rate at that exact time).
So you disagree that in low-income, urban communities that educators commonly make excuses for their students and celebrate their most minor successes while failing to hold them to standards? Let's leave high off the table for now. Is there something about that statement you disagree with...

We tell you to go kill yourself constantly. Head over to the Redpill thread and see the kind of hate being sent the way of Dumar and Ant. None of you are even famous.
Seriously though -
