this is tekken though. so what you’re saying... is you want to Jack-2 it [/sorrynotsorry]

I agree with most of what you say, just...

Yeah but then Kamitami gets called a 14-year-old by gaming journalists and assorted types. :) Maybe if people stopped with that bullshit, devs and artists would feel less shamed and forced to come up with some explanation.

Nothing wrong here...

shut up cunt, put some respect in your headline.

In fairness, while I have no love for Sargon of Akkad, interrupting a panel to single out one member of the crowd, calling him “human garbage”in what I can only imagine was an attempt to get the crowd to turn on him doesn’t let you claim the moral high ground on harassment. Anita came off as the harasser to an outside…

Wait, so now everyone is personally responsible for other peoples’ words they quote? Sorry, that’s just moronic.

Not sure what’s worse, that SI is trying to publish this stuff under the guise of a “swimsuit edition” or that you’re continuously referring to their photography as “porn.” While I think this is completely ridiculous and kind of hilarious to be referred to as elements of the “swimsuit edition” of a magazine where…

I know porn when I see it, and, quite honestly, this barely meets 1970 Playboy standards of smut when nipple was a big thing for even an R rated movie, women had unkempt bush (but you never got to see it because Hef was insane), and labia were only found in grainy 8mm film loops with no sound.

“I don’t have a new argument here, though the fact that saying a sports magazine’s reliance on the objectification of women is depressing and gross is a stale point doesn’t make it an untrue one, nor one that shouldn’t be made often.”

“Transgender is believed to arise from a difference in the wiring of the brain vs. physical anatomy.” This is a faith-based argument. A hypothesis without actual evidentiary support.

Your logic is circular. You assume transgender reality to help prove that transgender is real (and transracial is not). I have no problem with transgender folks but I do object to the intellectual dishonestry used to explain it.

Is there a universal standard for when someone is transgender? If so, then replace “gender” with “race.” (And no, there is no universal standard for transgender. There is far from universal agreement on the matter) Before there was (what you call) a universal standard for transgender, did transgender exist? Hypocrisy

Is “I just feel like a man” not a frivolous excuse?

OK. So transracial does not exist because they do not experience systemic oppression? Try to map out the logic there.

So basically it’s up to you to decide whether their explanation is good enough to be real. Does the same thing work for transgender? Do their reasons have to pass muster according to others? Hypocrisy

Hmmm.. Transgender is justified by brains being hardwired for a certain gender? I thought gender is a social construct. Can’t have it both ways.

First off, no WAY they’re giving Cavill that much money unless most of it is in points or bonuses for the film performance. OR unless his agents are incredible and they did what Pattinson and Lawrence did on their franchise films and renegotiated the hell out of their deals before coming back even though they signed…

Hold on: You are telling me that internet-feminists didn’t research the source of some figures that confirmed their already held beliefs, and then Jezebel amplified that outrage without confirming any of the details themselves?

We can almost see her pocket.
