Anyone who trivializes the views of others in my eyes is either trash or a con artist.

Wow, this thread exploded into a maelstrom of denial and self-satisfied ignorance really quickly.

Are you going to name some conditions or are you just lumping everyone who has ever had or has a mental illness under one roof?

Dohoho! Minecrack! Like the drug! Oh, news anchors... you sure have our number! I was so enveloped by mirth that I nearly spilled Mountain Dew all over my "The Halo of Dutys" cartridge!

Because horror that relies on stereotypical and inaccurate ideas about mental illness is the only kind of horror that has ever existed ever.

I don't suppose you could get any more specific than "mentally ill"? You might as well be asking if I'd trust a "sick person."

Thank you for this article. As you said, most people will suffer from a mental disorder sometime in their life and could be labeled 'mentally ill'. Statistics and research completely debunk all reason to be concerned about safety issues around people with mental illness. One of my favorites is that violent crime is…

SO BRAVE

Thanks for this. Someone very close to me struggles daily with clinical depression aggravated by a lifetime of abuse. The popular notions of mental illness certainly don't do anything to help them dealing with their issues, or with being confident that their friends are going to like them for who they are,…

Oh, you mean things like this? http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/category/blog/…
People write about other media all the time. That doesn't change that Kotaku is a gamer site that relates to the problems that relate to gaming. You can't be upset that Kotaku isn't writing this about movies when that isn't the point of…

I was reminded of that too, which is unfortunate because I despise that show so much. So, so much.

Because there's a difference with sex and gender. Sex is a biological identification (female) while gender is a social construction (woman). Think of how you present yourself to society and how society receives you. In addition, sex is somewhat malleable too as there's plenty of intersex people (those with nonstandard…

Wow, you're an ass.

UGH

I don't know what duff is loling at but my gripe is, why does she need to be so overly exposed and sexualized when shes so obviously robotic? If she didn't have servo holes and plate seams everywhere I'd understand having definition and wearing a g-string, but it serves absolutely no purpose otherwise except to…

My girlfriend used to stay over in my dorm room in college, and once had to put a note up on the girls' bathroom complaining of all the piss and blood on the seats. There was a girls-only dorm meeting really soon after that, which she didn't have to attend because she lived off-campus. I kinda wish I could have been…

Given that the sound of running water is famous for making people want to piss, it's a got to be a brave man who'd have a toddler sitting on his shoulders in that situation.

They aren't separating themselves. They are being pushed out by guys who call them "fake geek girls." They are just acknowledging it and trying to push back against it.

"You're a fake geek girl! You're just doing that to get attention. PROVE IT!"

Except when those that "don't matter" physically, verbally, and sexually harass you. Then just ignoring them becomes a whole lot more difficult.
