I'd have your back on overused memes, but I just took an arrow to the knee.

I think that the shitty comments are rising to the top because (to my eye) Kinja is prioritizing number of replies over number of stars. I never realized this before this story. This means that the more CONTENTIOUS posts (which inevitably get more replies) will ALWAYS be elevated.

I always wondered why Kotaku had a rep…

Something really shitty is happening here: KINJA'S LOGIC IS FORCING THE SHITHEAD COMMENTS TO THE TOP. Scroll to the bottom: All the sane people are down there.

Kinja prioritizes things that get lots of responses. So because the shitheads are getting decent people jumping on them (rightly so) their comments are rising…

Some of us are posting decent things. And as I look through for the regulars that I recognize, I see that they're also mostly on the side of good.

Don't let the crappy human beings scare you off. There's good people here too.

Yes, it is absolutely harassment. By every legal and moral definition it is most certainty harassment.

So at which point in your anecdote did she have the right to set boundaries? Stage 1? Stage 2? You are clearly suggesting that there is a point of no return. A point in the conversation where you lose the right to consent to sex.

That's really gross.

Thanks for posting this. I've been through some serious shit as well. It's the reason that its important to me to NOT be a part of the problem - Because I know that the world is a dark place sometimes and I can make it just a little bit better by always, ALWAYS trying to be one of the good ones. No matter how much I'm…

I knew I liked you. This is exactly what I'm talking about in my post. It's the code of silence that we need to break. There are so many people ready to end this garbage each and every time we see it. We need to find a way to logistically take the muzzles off.

You didn't read the part about how it's her job to maintain relationships and she was torn between that and sticking up for her boundaries, did you? We men don't have to put up with making that kind of choice. That's what makes this bullshit.

So if I were to punch you in the face over and over again, would it be okay because you didn't tell me to stop?

The game industry has a statistically higher ratio of men to women than most industries. You are correct that these things are more common in male dominated industries. You are incorrect when you say it is just as common in ALL industries.

Lack of diversity breeds bullshit, every time.

The original story really bothered me. I applaud her for speaking out and starting this conversation.

I work in HR these days, in a high volume/relationship based/teamwork heavy field. Everything said here is true, and happens in other industries as well.

I've been in the position of seeing subtle sexism and…

I'm going to post my main comment on the main story, but let me assure you: There are white males out there who know what respect is and are ready to start confronting this kind of behavior.

I JUST WANT YOU TO LOVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

But not in a couchy way.

Beagles are great. Lovable, territorial little troopers. Great alarm systems.

They can twist their spine 180 degrees and reach behind their back. I hope you have the opportunity to tussle with one some day.

Animal control experts tend to use the long poles for them.

Heh my country neighbor had a german shepard that he let out to roam the farm at night. He would paint racoon and possum outlines on his doghouse like it was a fighter plane in WWII. It's something about the breed: They KNOW its their job to protect the livestock from the little bastards, and they are one of the only…

Good use of Misfits.

" He could have easily took the raccoon in his arms far away from his house after diffusing the situation in a matter of seconds."

What the F****?? Carry a raccoon? You understand that they are furious balls of teeth and claws and have reflexes faster than we do, right? That's like suggesting that he stick his hands in…

Actually, it was attacking his dog.

A racoon can actually gut a dog three times its size with a single swipe. They regularly kill dogs much bigger than they are. I grew up in raccoon country on a farm and cleaned up a lot of dead animals thanks to them, including a beloved family hound.

When a raccoon gets into a…
