Seriously, responses like this are part of why society is so messed up, nowadays. You take the time to write out a whole post about how game development isn’t supporting minorities, yet when someone asks for clarity and context to help them understand what’s being said, you jump all over him and act like you can’t be

Why should white people try to understand your point of view if asking to share your point of view is offensive?

You are a genuinely insufferable person

What kind of response is that? He asked you to elaborate more. He’s not asking for your social security number or culturally appropriating something. Settle down.

Um. Wat. Dude said he grew up socializing with people from all walks of life... Jesus, what has the world come to when being tolerant is bigoted.

More details, please? New England is a huge area, wildly diverse.

A story I often tell is that until I saw Shawn dating Angela on Boy Meets World, the idea that a black woman and a white man could be in a romantic relationship together never crossed my mind. As a young person with no real-life examples to draw on, it seemed like an impossibility.

That age difference isn't so completely strange (and I know she got an Oscar for the first film), but couldn't they have

Yep, I know the type.

Thing is though (and Lindy West's article covered this): feminism isn't the enemy. In fact, it's probably one of the biggest allies that these guys have had, alongside gay rights activists.

More economically empowered women means more people spending money, which stimulates the economy, which

I'm lucky enough not to know any legit MRA's in real life... but I do know a few "at risk" type guys and its kind of an interesting psychology that goes on... all of these guys have been through some tough shit that has set them back. like, shit that is mostly the indirectly the result of bad decisions (we've all

MRAs insist that women have stolen all the power (like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods, presumably - which should tell you how they see themselves. And equally presumably, this mojo-stealing Promethea should be chained to a mountain and fed to the Rape-Eagles) because they as individuals feel powerLESS.
