It’s been pointed out to you, but equating your genitals with a woman’s breasts is part of the issue here. Breasts have a secondary sex purpose, it’s true, but their primary purpose is for the production and storage of milk, used to feed infants.

We only recently (in terms of total human history) sexualized the female

This is good news all around. Platform exclusives have always been used to drive hardware sales (and the tactic works up to a point; I bought a PS3 specifically for Demons’ Souls and Metal Gear Solid 4), but for developers, a broader market can only be a good thing.

Hopefully the port of Death Stranding is every inch

Amazing work, all, but Haunted Channel—way to make me relive the horror that was S&O all those years ago (and even today, if I’m being honest; I never got gud with those two).

...though wouldn’t Ornstein be the Pika in that situation?

I stand partially corrected—had Lambert allowed Geralt to finish, he would indeed have committed an act of poetry.

As it is, he only managed to fire off half a couplet.

Still and all, better than that damned song Dandelion wrote about Yennefer (I have an irrational hatred of Yenn; she reminds me of an emotionally

That is...kind of awesome, I have to say.  I’m on board with this.

Geralt’s not much of a poet. That’s Dandelion’s bailiwick, that is—and he’d likely pout for years if Geralt actually penned something that earned even a smattering of praise.

Easily the best video game adaptation out there. I’m an old, old Castlevania fan (started with Simon’s Curse, which scared the bejeezus out of me back when it came out—I was all of eight, so I’d like to think I have an excuse), and while I’ve enjoyed some of the interpretations of Dracula that have shown up in the

That as well. I’m happily married these days, but back when I was dating, my first move was not to walk up to a woman I was interested in and try to plant a kiss on her.

...I found that starting with, “Hi, my name’s <Arnheim>,” was a pretty solid opener, because it let me gauge if the person was interested in

No worries; if I saw something like that, I’d assume the author had been kinja’d as well!

Not today, unfortunately. I used the same reply because I was given effectively the same argument three times, and didn’t feel like giving the same answer three different ways.

Lazy.  Not drunk.  There’s a definite distinction in my case.

Holy shit. Alright, let’s do this by the numbers:

1.) Absolutely no one is saying it’s acceptable for women to do this to men; we’re addressing a specific instance of a behavior (referenced in this article) that is part and parcel of a behavior that is overwhelmingly committed by hetero dudes (your own example offers

Alcohol is not an excuse. I have been a heavy drinker ever since I was legal—and only recently managed to cut alcohol out of my weekday.

Even at my worst, I never tried to grab, kiss, or otherwise physically/sexually assault someone.

Alcohol doesn’t make you do anything you wouldn’t do otherwise; it’s an inhibition

It’s a sign of the times that I’m wondering whether or not there should’ve been a “/s” on this.

Which part of your Rhet/Comp professor’s liver will you claim credit for killing with your believe that the red herring fallacy (more commonly called “whataboutism”) is a rational or even halfway intelligent play in this moment?

I mean, fuck, the Pepe avatar in the upper left corner of the video should’ve been a dead

Part of me wants to ask “what the fuck makes dudes like this think shit like this is okay?”

The rest of me understands: “Entitlement. Entitlement, and a culture that has been content until just recently to say ‘boys will be boys.’”

Thank god the second part of that appears to be experiencing some pushback, at least.

What, so some soddy bint threw a carrot at ya?

It’s one of those love-hate things for me; I admire the dude’s (or dudette’s, as the case may be) commitment to the schtick, but it gets obnoxious after a while.

We really missed an opportunity for an “I AM SPARTACUS” moment when Splinter shut down.

...clearly should’ve called themselves Tomatoface.  Same message, different vessel.
