Right. I don't want a prize, but also, don't basically tell me to shut up. That doesn't do anyone any good.

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.
"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.
Why is the tax evasion case and probation relevant?
He didn't say he would sexually assault her, but that he would destroy her in game. The slang use of the word "rape" was quite evident here. It is sad how it is intentionally being misconstrued by all parties involved (the false victimized female player, tournament handlers, and the idiot who used such a poor taste…
He did, her tweet about it later:
"After all of this I want to say that @cScKas said some really good things after everything. He is sorry. And I doubt it will happen again."
He did a public apology to admit what he did was stupid and to make it clear he was at fault. He then did a private apology to her. Kotaku just…
No, you have missed the thrust of my argument. I meant that there are people who don't listen among all races and, to my knowledge, no one race is particularly better, or particularly worse, when it comes to listening.
I've always had a hard time with the "this is black culture, stay out of it" thing. If what you mean by black culture is calling women "bitches" then I'm sorry, but everyone gets a seat at that table. Unless, of course, you are only calling black women bitches, then that changes things, and that also makes you look…
First is the effort Wise exerts in maintaining a willful ignorance about the meaning of the word "nigger," which, like a great many words, changes with context.
Nope, tired of you idiots saying that for no reason, I am here to say it's a good argument.
To *create* gender issues in games. There are no issues, if you want more women in games or a different type of woman then YOU make the games you want, do not try and change other people's art.
Are these supposed to be examples of the death threat tweets? Because they're death threats in the same way that saying "go fuck yourself" is a rape threat.
You didn't reply to anything I typed. I explained why mainstream media's use of feminism is troublesome. But, you decided to ignore that to type out a snarky reply.
(Eh. Jezebel tries to shy away from being called a feminist blog so this post is kind of funny) But, I think that part of the problem is that so many things that fuel the patricarchy have been veiled in "Feminism" and "Empowering" and "Agency." I can understand why some people (the logical ones, not the trolls…
I am offended by your comment and you should change it. See how that works?
Offending people is wrong? Well, I am offended that you think that offending people is wrong. So you are wrong by your own standards.
So by your logic if not the person who was wronged, who decides what is offensive or not? If homosexuals claim the word 'fag' for themselves as an empowering word and frequently use it how can a hetero person tell them "no you're wrong thats offensive"?
Being black myself, I don't find this racist. And I know "white" people who use slang/ebonics, it's funny when they're obviously trying super hard to use it. Having lived in South Central LA, I know slang. And I know when it's forced and when it's just what you use/know.
Playing devils advocate here. Why are the only people complaining about black racism in this Twitter conversation white?
