I think that equating "publicizing the fact that I and my parents and husband are receiving death threats including our private home addresses, ones which, in my case, offer to rape me to death with a tire iron 'through my cunt'" with "the 'but the internet is full of meanie-faces' excuse" is beneath you if you intend…

Sexual violence against men is a real problem, and I'd argue one path to parity in videogames that would please everyone would be to have scantily clad, hot, male non-playable characters constantly getting raped and bitch-slapped and then getting a .45 down the throat or being impaled through the ass on a huge metal…

I live in a world where my daughters and their older male cousins have really different experiences when they want to play videogames, and even though my daughters notice the differences and don't like them, and talk about them to me, that's because I've pointed it out elsewhere. Their cousins don't notice, never talk…

This is a brilliant refutation of Sarkeesian's proposal for a law recalling all previous videogames, and mandating that in all new games, no female characters ever be harmed or killed, until forever. Good thing you headed that one off at the pass, compadre! FREEDOM!!!11

Sarkeesian doesn't want to limit people's creativity. They are free to create and she is free to say their creations suck. AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! Neither does she say anyone is wrong for enjoying (or playing) any given game. She has gone out of her way to say this approx. 20 kajillion times. She says, reasonably, people…

Daenerys Targaryen's brother was full of shit, dude.

Evil people rape young men. They rape adult men. When they want to humiliate and torture a big, strong man whom they've captured, raping him is one of the best ways there is, because there's nothing else that will humiliate him in the same way. When you examine reality, i.e. stuff that happens in the real world every…

In the real world, in all periods in the past, sexual violence against teenaged boys was widespread. All brothels like the ones shown in "Old West" period pieces would have had one or two boys in them. More to the point, when the player-character gets out of town and arrives at an all-male group herding cattle, the…

Particularly when straight people can pretty much do all the sodomy they want—I know I do! I mean, these guys don't really need to think of dudes doing it at all, per se. It's almost as if they have some compulsion to think of it other than pure logical constraints.

But doesn't it just make you think...Memphis police shot 18 or some people to death in the last 4-5 years. What the hell would Tennessee be like if you peeled the lid off?

And yeah, what even? All I knew about MO till now was from a friend who's part of an interracial couple, and she and her wife just completed the adoption of their third girl (the sister of one of the other two). Before this they fostered some of the kids no one wants, ten-year-old, 11-year-old black boys, and kept…

I WILL PICK A FOR $1,000 PLEASE.

There's something wrong with being anti-human being.

"So. Don't let him get away with it?....If that doesn't work I just invade as much of their area as possible." vs. "I didn't say that anyone wanted to [touch the leg of her adjacent male passenger]." You are someone. Thus you are "anyone." If you took formal logic in college...which, I grant, seems a bit doubtful,…

Your repeated inability to understand why a woman alone on public transit does to wish to rub her leg against the male passenger next to her indicates trolling. I'm sorry we've all humored you like this.

Dude, why the fuck are you even participating in this conversation if you don't take public trans regularly? Places I have lived where there are seats: the NYC subway, bench-like things on a certain types of car but with are notional delineations (and this is out-of-date info, maybe there are no more?); the LIRR…

It's cool, man. We all right. I mean, we're crazy and everything, but, you know.

You're probably not terrifyingly abusive enough when you're drunk, then. Let me know if you need some pointers from my step-dad. If he'd have left me and my brother in the car to go to get drunk my only concern would have been taking good enough care of my brother and trying to keep him comfortable. Maybe getting some…

My people!
