A gay man showering with a bunch of straight men is nothing like a straight man showering with women. Maybe it would be if we lived in some kind of alternate universe where gay men were constantly sexually assaulting and degrading straight men, but until that happens, you need to get the hell out of here with that.

I think the discussion about casual cruelty against women is a symptom of a greater issue - taking the easy route in creative work.

No one is advocating removing all violence directed towards women from all games. That's pretty much a strawman position that people who don't want anything to change use to rail against.

You have to be pretty wilfully blind to not see the hate women developers get when they DO make their own games. You can't just tell them to go make their own games without acknowledging that the shit follows them wherever they go. It's almost like it's not what they are saying - but that it's women saying it.

Go to court, plead his case, and submit to whatever justice decides.

Not for me, no. Drugging and raping a young child just crosses a line that can never be recrossed in my mind. Short of a Lord of the Rings level diving into the volcano to save the world situation, no, I could not get over it.

Yeah, I think Kate is actually quite a fascinating person, because her whole persona is so studiously inoffensive and not blank exactly, but smoothed-over. But I find it hard to believe a non-aristo steps into her role without a spine of absolute steel.

Best dressed?

See? That's how a proper lady dresses. There's not a single bare ankle or wrist to irrationally inflame the senses.

If she says no when you try to touch or kiss her, or pushes you away, then no, it wasn't consent. Don't be obtuse.

There's a difference between "intoxicated" and "incapacitated" or "too intoxicated to give consent," which the legislation makes very clear. It doesn't mean that anyone who has drunk sex is either a rapist or a victim; it just means that "S/he was so drunk! How was I supposed to know s/he wasn't into it?" is no longer…

Not necessarily. There's a difference between being drunk enough to let loose and have fun (drunk sex is great), and being incapacitated by alcohol. Tipsy, giggly drunk is one thing, slurring and falling down is another. If you (and I mean you in the general sense) can't figure that one out, you're not mature enough…

Who the fuck said there are no innocent men? Oh that's right, MRA's and other people who hate feminism.
Getting consent is not complicated, dude, come the fuck on. Just because you can't fuck someone who can barely speak doesn't mean it's complicated. It means you're expected to treat women as human beings and not…

It's a start. Now if we could just get comprehensive sex education to INCLUDE CONSENT, I'd be a much happier Pipper... a pepper Pipper?

CNN will be glad to hear that his life was not, in fact, ruined.

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…

I just want to know when the white community is going to take responsibility for their thug culture. Athletes are actually killing each other during so called sporting events. This is almost as bad as the time Richard Sherman yelled near a white lady.

It would be different if he was the first person to ever get out of his car after a wreck on an active race track. But he wasn't, so while such behavior may not be expected or advised, it's not new.
