I understand the criticism on both sides. There is a sizable audience of LGBT individuals, women, and minorities who have felt that games, along with other forms of culture, have left them on the outside. It is no secret that white, male, heteronormative perspectives have been the driving force in gaming for years.
Now,…

I always interpreted the term “butthurt” to mean those complaining are imagining something awful (such as an ass-raping) happening to them.
That is, the term is pejorative in calling someone a whiner by indicating that they are embellishing their victimization.
In this case, I think it is a wonderful use of the term…
YMMV is the key when it comes to personal comfort and health decisions.
If someone said they would give me $1000 to give up my glasses for a year and only wear contacts, I still wouldn’t do it.
Well, it is an AP report, so if you are saying the Associated Press is not credible, I don’t know what else to tell you.
The report was covering the fact that these police officers were not really punished at all. Maybe they looked up phone numbers for people they were interested in. Maybe they were finding the current…
Some people don’t care if others see their naked skin. If you are one of them, you shouldn’t care if the FBI puts a camera in every public bathroom.
Some people don’t care if others know their purchases. If you are one of them, you shouldn’t care if the FBI starts tracking everything you buy on Amazon.
Some poeple don’t…
Are you saying get-out-the-vote campaigns and community organizing are illegal?
I have read through this whole essay and have come to two realizations:
creationism isn’t science; it’s belief.
I think you misunderstand - it is still possible in 2016 to have a cellphone, but not a smartphone.
It is also still possible, even in 2016, to have low income but not be on financial assistance.
I am glad you can admit you also don’t understand the other side. Personally, I think a lot of these problems are simply because each of us has trouble knowing where the other side is coming from. Our experience is not universal - many of us whites don’t understand the difficulties blacks face and when confronted by…
I never claimed to have an ‘understanding’ of race or racial issues. In fact, I spoke directly about a lack of understanding on these matters. I am listening to you, I really am. I just don’t understand what you are saying. So they are talking to society, but no one in particular? They are talking to whites, but…
Fair enough.
To be fair he hasn’t need to buy a single advertisement yet is all over TV and the Internet. He is everywher on Facebook and his comments permeate every aspect of conversation. i don’t know why, but that is how it works and it is working well for him.
they think society (audience? lol) doesn’t value their lives.
It does add an extra expense and regulation that is completely unnecessary according to all reputable science. By that logic, sonogram ultrasound requirements before abortions are equally good ideas - perfectly safe and only provide extra information, right?
If GMO-free producers want to label their products as GMO…
Try to follow the logic here. Why say “black lives matter” if you think your audience already believes it? You wouldn’t. If you think your audience does not value black lives, then you would say “black lives matter.”
Did you really read what I wrote? Nothing you said has anything to do with my comment. Here is (I think) the relevant part of my comment to whatever it was you are talking about:
It is pretty hard to talk about victimization without implying that someone is to blame. All Lives Matter has less of an implication of fault. “Black Lives Matter” inherently implies that non-blacks do not value black lives.
If this is intended, then that is a pretty racist belief in and of itself. If it is not…
Some people need to see it to believe it, rather than just “be told.” One would argue that there hasn’t been a lot of evidence to back up the statement that “black lives matter” implies “all lives matter.”
