I’m going to go out on a limb and guess the reason people dog on it is because they didn’t like it as much as you do.

“He belonged to an anti-LGBTQ church.”

Typical narcissistic British.

So what you’re saying is nuance can be exercised and just blanket banning is overgeneralising?

Bad use of the meme. Your bad faith is being criticised, not your participation. If I had have said “ah, you criticise the AV Club and yet you read it” then you could have gotten away with such a limp post.

“Because the way AV Club covers games isn’t designed to get a rise out of the toxic subset of gamers”

I’ll be honest; I don’t get how “Game X Should Be Easier/Less Sexy/More Sexy/Whatever” relates to video games being an alt-right pipeline, or why AV Club avoiding it means video games aren’t an alt-right pipeline when the AV Club covers them.

Video games are an alt-right pipeline and the AV Club covers them weekly.

Man, there was just no narrative spine to this episode, was there?

What’s the deal with “Pop Tarts”? I mean, the packaging is rectangle. The box is rectangle. They should be called “Rectangle Tarts”.

This is quite possibly the worst headline you could have used about a woman trying to declare her independence from an abusive conservatorship.

Yeah, I miss it.

Jesus dude, you said something offensive and instead of apologising, you begged for it to be dropped. Then when it was dropped, you decided to keep it going by arguing it’s bad for studios to hire women as some attempt at a “gotcha”. And then when called on *that*, started trying to use mental health issues as a slur.…

ElectricSheep: Please drop this, I don’t like being called out for my offensive comments.

I think they should hire more female directors, regardless. I know that increased Oscar recognition for great female directors will get studios to invest more in them.

“You misunderstood me. I’ve clarified”

It’s a technicality because you weren’t playing devil’s advocate. You weren’t saying “this is what could happen and I have no position, either way”. The context of your post was this would be a positive outcome from such a rule change. Now you’re trying to defend yourself from that by saying “I said ‘could’ not…

“And no, I wasn’t arguing that actors *should* submit themselves for the nonbinary award. “Could” and “should” are two different words.”

Trans and non-binary people already have to do with the accusations they’re just cis people masquerading for the political benefits and now you’re arguing people should just claim it for their characters to win awards. It’s the same bigotry.

“Or if your character has no specific identification in the show you could just submit yourself for the trans or nonbinary character category because why not.”
