No, you're not seeing the lightning; That would be saying "Patricia is getting mad at this guy!" Instead, you're saying "Patricia is getting mad at this guy BECAUSE FEMINISM/MISANDRY/[Insert MRA talking point here]!1!" That is why I am calling you out on the carpet, and that's where you cease observing and start…

I agree pretty much with everything you just said. Not asking the question, especially in a committed, long term relationship, does not mean rape. I never said it did. In fact, I never said you need to ask for consent before every interaction.

Hmm. Well, that all gets really messy.

Agreed. The problem with this whole thing is that not everyone reacts the same way, not everyone communicates the same way. Setting one standard for what is and isn't acceptable communication before and during sex just don't work; what's sexy for one is going to be a turn-off for others, what some find safe others…

Ok, so after I got permission from the boss (wife), I went out and bought a used copy for 2500 yen. YES!

I own all of the Yakuza games on home consoles (1&2 HD, 3, 4 and 5 on Ps3, Kenzan on PS3 and Ishin! on PS4) and it has escalated quickly to being my favorite video game franchise ever. It dethroned Shenmue and FFX as my favorite games, for sure.

I have all kinds of new respect for you today, DocSeuss, all kinds. I never know how to respond to these kinds of things, so I mostly just don't. This post is so eloquently on point, I might have to bookmark it.

I've come to the conclusion that Yakuza is like Ys in many ways. Obviously not in terms of anything mechanical, but in so much as both series aren't ever going to disappear from the Japanese consciousness. And will always therefore periodically resurface in the West…even if the gap between releases is in the…

Yeah, he really was. So eccentric, yet so normal at the same time. Wish he got his own game, the melodrama of the other characters never matched his quirky errand-running.

Man, I loved the hell out of Yakuza 4. Especially Shun Akiyama, who was an awesome character.

Temkin's definitely walking a tight rope in his blog, which makes sense for an innocent men that wants to state his innocence publicly (especially since that's how he was accused) and doesn't have ill wishes on his accuser. The bad thing is that the internet loves to find ways to nitpick and twist statements to its…

The major thing is that it doesn't matter what actually happened eight years ago to the Internet community. They want to spin this one way or the other—either this is a mildly famous douchebag not-apologizing for raping a poor girl eight years ago OR it's some woman trying to get some personal fame by claiming a…

The more I think about it, I think most of this article's complaints stem from how poorly Temkin attempted to deflect blame from the victim. I think a lot of us are misinterpreting Temkin's intent, so we're saying "blah blah, Temkin's still a bad person," because he submits two opposing idea. On one hand, "no rape."…

As far as I can tell, the article's reasoning is that he brought SOMETHING about rape culture up, so he should have gone all the way.

Actually, that's exactly what happens. Not only have I heard of it happening innumerable times, it actually happened to me once when I was a teenager, and the girl told me that was exactly why. People like confidence in a partner. It's not called a mood-slightly-interrupter, it's called a mood killer.

He's not wrong for having that opinion. You obviously understand little to nothing about women. There are a lot of sleazy women out there doing anything they can (which includes marrying rich men for money) for a quick buck. There are women that are extremely terrible to other women just as there are men doing all of…

Feminists won't be satisfied until college students routinely exchange waivers before making out.

While his response is odd... I find this post a bit more troubling. It seems like this post is saying "we're going with Temkin's version of events happened, but..."

Actually, I'm relatively certain that my wife, and most of the other women I've slept with, would actually get up and leave the room if I kept stopping to make sure that everything I was doing was ok.

Because Third Wave Feminism has completely destroyed the definition of rape. Had sex that you regret? Thats Rape. Had sex but afraid someone would judge you for it? Rape. Don't like someone and want to destroy their life? Rape. Look at a woman wrong? Rape. Exist as a male? Rape.

This also makes it a thousand times…
