Christ. Get that cat away from sociopathic teenagers before something awful happens...

Why do they think Social Justice Warrior is an insult? It isn't.

I like to live my life with the following understanding:

I think you’ll find moral and morale are very different things.

Congrats! And a pre-emptive FUCK YOU to anyone that shows up trying to judge you for this.

Fuck Oscar Pistorius.

He paid his $50 murder fine! What more do you people want?

Is it going too far to say that I hope that that pseudoscience peddling, smelling her own farts loving, bullshit fearmongering witch gets some kind of non lethal, non crippling but really annoying medical affliction, like endless plantar fasciitis?

Honestly, I don’t want to see shit food babe has to say about anything.

It’s called tessellation, and it’s not a dirty word.

Every other grown ass woman I play with also keeps their mics purely to friends only.

I’m sorry are you saying the Pew Research Center isn’t a credible source?

We know you exist and it’s great that their behavior makes you cringe, but what would really help is calling out other dudes on their shit instead of ignoring it. They might cave to pressure from other dudes. They sure as shit don’t listen to us.

Totally with you on this. I’ve done raids in WoW for example where TS was required but I still insisted on typing my reply to everything that was said. I will go out of my way to avoid using a mic and the only time previously I’ve used a mic is when I was a teenager playing with about 3 or 4 people I knew fairly well…

You don’t understand how surveys work.

I play a lot of games. I only mic with my husband/close friend circle or occasionally my bestie.

There is a high degree of uncertainty (see the margin of error) but this wasn’t a poll about video games if you click the link. It was a series of in person and online surveys and focus groups about the relationship of teens to each other and technology: video games made up a fraction of the findings. The primary…

I played Halo 3 (YEARS ago, circa 06-07) online. There was this teammate we had who was SO FLIPPING BOSS. Had a mic. Everyone assumed it was a young boy. Constant (but light-hearted) teasing about how he wouldn’t be as good if he had a job and responsibility when he grew up. One day she she says, “dude, I HAVE a job…

Same here. Never used a mic as a teen, and right now I only use a mic if I’m playing with friends. If a game or a game’s community requires a mic, I either mute my mic (more like leave it muted) or don’t play. It’s just not worth the stress and harassment that comes when strangers go “OMG! YOU’RE A GIRL! DATE ME, YOU…

I’m sorry, but this is asinine. Not only are dorms set up in a manner so that they are as well supervised as possible, but this is an issue of consent and consent education. Rape doesn’t just happen because hormones and close proximity.
