And if he'd actually taken on the review of procrastination, he could have burned enough time that he could even take on the review of "killing a person", as he could count the guy from the 8-ball review.

Oh, I agree that the term is meant to be awful. It's just an offensive-sounding choice of words for a basic concept, hoping that people will connect the offensiveness of the terminology to the concept itself.

I'm a big fan of that Chrome extension that's like Cloud-to-Butt, but instead replaces "political correctness" with "treating people with respect". So, for example, in the above article:

Reason and education are good tools and should be the primary engine, but dyed in the wool bigots aren't convinced by either.

They might still hear that, but modern society teaches that such views are shameful and must be hidden from public view lest people think less of you. And so you get social progress, as people hide their terrible bigoted views so as to not be stigmatized for them, making those views less prevalent for the generations…

This is actually the second Toadies beer from Martin House. The first came out, I forget if it was last year or two years ago. That was "Rubberneck Red".

So when pressed to back up your statements, you respond with Gamergate Favored Argument #1 and then "I don't know, I can't be bothered to actually present an argument, why don't you go read this thing and infer what I may potentially mean"?

You did say "lies", not "lie". So even if I were to grant you Hitman, which I won't because there is no lie in what she said, you'd still be short at least 1 to qualify for using the plural. Besides, if it were that common, then surely you can point to something else.

You'll have to point out those "lies" to me. And do yourself a favor and come up with something better than complaining about Hitman.

The goal is to comment on the prevalence of the sexism. It's only shallow in that it's intended to show how sexist notions are prevalent throughout the landscape of games. What do you think would be gained in terms of showing how prevalent sexism is across the culture by focusing in depth on a single work?

It's hilarious that you're complaining about her being "fundamentally incorrect" while maintaining a notion that is, itself, fundamentally incorrect. You do not get a game over for killing the strippers.

Because when I think of "a way to present a mainstream audience with the prevalence of sexist tropes in modern media", I think about a long essay deep diving into the contents of a single game.

"If she was looking to explore the sexism inherent in tropes I'd like to think she'd pick more substantive examples."

"If she's looking to actually change the hearts and minds of a misogynistic community then it's a HUGE failure."
It's a good thing that wasn't the goal. The point was to explore the sexism inherent in video game tropes and have a discussion about their prevalence. That this might impact the industry because much of…

Unless I'm misreading you, you seem to be doing quite a dance around outright saying "Her failure was that she didn't cater to the feelings of bigots". In which case, that's not an actual failing.

A "peer-reviewed journal article" is 100% not at all what she's aiming for. Her entire thing is that she's aiming to produce content to bring this discussion out of just academia and into more mainstream discussion.

And yet, last week, during the William Tell review, even she's telling him he doesn't have to keep doing this as he's preparing for Forrest's dad to shoot the third arrow.

I went to see Black Sabbath on what they advertised as their farewell tour.

The cops will probably continue to appear, because they're played by Jeff and Andy Blitz. Jeff Blitz is the director of the show, and Andy is/was a writer (he was on season 1, dunno about now).

Absolutely. PFT laughter is a usual thing on any podcast he's on, but I have never heard him laugh harder than when Daly's describing the Molly Brown house as "frozen in time from the day she didn't die on a boat".
