The views probably aren’t as different as you’d imagine. A lot of the time when an identity politics thing crops up, I might hear about it on a very anti-SJ kind of place but be put off on what a bunch of assholes they’re being about it, then go over to a pro-SJ place to see folks agreeing with me about the view that…

Don’t they? I thought Donald Trump is explicitly a pretty huge part of their whole thing, whatever that thing is. I never even heard the term until he was running for office, and it was always something that people used interchangeably with his most ardent supporters. Complaining about ‘SJWs’ is way older than the…

You seemed to outright state that being against social justice automatically makes you right-wing, so it seemed pretty pertinent to me.

Neo-nazi groups and alt-right types typically love whoever opposes the people they hate, no matter the reason. Any kind of opposition to identity politics moral outrage is going to win neo-nazi fans, but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to oppose some facet of outrage culture without being a neo-nazi.

I thought…

Social Justice is effectively whatever the people touting it decide it is, rather than a dictionary definition. Just because someone is for it and it being officially something benevolent doesn’t automatically mean that everything that person does in its name is benevolent.

It’s the same thing with feminism. Feminism…

I dealt with alt-right types, unfortunately, very often during the recent election cycle because they constantly tried to fill places I frequent with pro-Trump bullshit memes. A thing I heard constantly is that they loved Trump because he made ‘liberals’ angry, no matter what absurd thing Trump said or what verifiable…

“He continually rehashes alt-right talking points, and many alt-right groups like the EDL have voiced support for him.”

If those alt-right talking points are just about social justice, then I don’t think that proves anything except they have views in common which doesn’t make them the same. If you’re against the drug…

I never liked this argument. White supremacists and neo-nazis are pretty universally despised and never taken seriously, unless that status can be useful to someone looking to take down somebody’s reputation. Whenever I hear about a neo-nazi group, it’s because someone’s managed to connect them to some popular figure…

So it’s not possible to be against social justice, at least the popular form of it, without being part of the alt-right? I’d disagree, just because that might be a big deal in the alt-right doesn’t mean everybody who doesn’t approve of it or what some social justice types do is then alt-right.

That’s not saying this…

Yep, this is the one! You got more stars on your little tag as you won more games!

I remember logging in to Battle.net’s clunky full screen interface at 640x480 resolution to repeatedly play co-op Big Game Hunters in Starcraft against the CPU because I was too bad at the game to play against actual people.

The account switching system is the one place on the Switch where Nintendo is actually ahead of other companies, as it’s so easy to do and you just pick it as you’re launching the game.

It’s very subtle, but along with the star you’ll also be able to see your map completion percentage on the map and if you go into your adventure log, it’ll tell you how many side quests you’ve done.

Exactly. People tell you, ‘All the extra stuff is optional, just don’t do it!’ but optional stuff is part of the experience for me! I’m kind of a completionist, I like to have all the boxes checked and all of the non-multiplayer percentages at 100% and DA:I was absolutely brutal to me in that respect. I hear the…

I’ve tempered my expectations, the way they’ve throttled the news coverage to make all the reveals so close to release has helped rein in the hype. But even a disappointing Bioware game to me is still a good game.

This is harsh for my gaming life, though. I only just finished Zelda after getting all the shrines and…

I’m getting it. The news has definitely put me off, but even a bad Bioware game is worth the money to me. Even if it’s not as good as the previous 3 games, I still can’t miss out on the attempt. It’s got to be good for at least a playthrough.

DA:O, all 3 mass effects and even DA2, I replayed all of them multiple times.…

Romney got the same margins and lost, so it can’t have been that main of a reason.

According to this he got 58% of the white vote, which is pretty much the same as what Romney got in 2012. That’s between 2/3rds and 1/2, roughly, and I really wouldn’t call that ‘overwhelming’.

All this rhetoric about not shaming people based on their looks always goes out of the window when it’s about somebody they personally don’t like . It’s disappointing. Any criticism of JonTron that also comes with, ‘And he’s an ugly neckbeard’ is immediately downgraded to a 4chan-esque temper tantrum.

“while white people did overwhelmingly vote for Trump”

Is this actually true? While Trump supporters may have been overwhelmingly white, that does not mean that white people overwhelmingly voted for Trump as a group and I’m pretty sure they didn’t. Obama had something like 90% of the black vote and I’m pretty sure…
