What, is football the ONLY TIME EVER that a POC gets "looked the other way"? Because all this is what white people consider "grey area". Frankly, I'd love seeing our athletes get the pass regardless of race. Wait... that's been a thing for as long as there have been wealthy black athletes? Wait, no.

Biden is one of the few politicians who I firmly believe is in this for the good of people, generally. Maybe I'm wrong, but the dude is the most human federal politician— gaffs and humanity-induced missteps included.

I can only guess, but seeing the violence that the captors were threatening I'd wager that the train of thought was concerned with not making a scene until she was safe and away from the couple.

Hulk Hogan sex tape. Endstop.

I wasn't aware contracts had taken a nosedive in their reputation. Plenty around these parts which are in no way abusive but act more as a constant "prop" in sexyfuntimes.

Likely the contract is a set of guidelines and justifications for getting what he wants.

To be honest this was more a set of observations than any real loaded critique. It remains tough to speak that poorly of TF2.

(Hi from a Massively person!)

Just... stop there. I refuse to believe that VM went for more than that perfect first season. :D

This is the crux. The sexism is a symptom of a devaluation of creativity in favor of a profit-minded approach to a creative endevour. You're hard pressed to find an impeccably, multi-faceted and compelling male character next to a cardboard-cutout-trope woman because the former is rare enough that we've forgotten what…

I think we're on the same page. But the discussion has nothing to do with the old discussion on inebriation and rape.

And the latter acts as a screen to prevent any discussion of the former. Again.

This is a very real reality that never gets addressed. The "solution" is to seemingly snap your fingers and pretend that standards of evidence and/or measures of guilt are rather different from the system set up.

Actually, women engage in "taking up too much space" with regularity, as well. The common trope is the woman who takes up extra seats for her bag(s).

When stated by a survivor employing it as a means to address/soften the anxieties surrounding the very real, concrete harm?

I've really come to the point where I find web 1.0 to be far more enjoyable (in retrospect) than what we have now. I recall the days when the majority of websites were personal and simply filled with cool stuff (of a techie/geek variety, generally). Now it's all corporate and walled off and concerned with the killer…

Why do people always forget the most important part? White and well-off economically.

Some games lend themselves to this sort of tribute, some less so. WoW? Absolutely lends itself to memorializing in-game and they have many times. Zelda? less so. Not impossible, but far more difficult overall.

You bring up a good point insomuch as these sort of policies dangerously toe the line of "special interest" in their effect (not their impetus). It always feels like colleges are the ones left holding the hot potato and so they get the "short straw" to have to become the judicial-legal arm of Feminism (in this case).

I really thought this was going to be about the pre-release, pre-beta changes. Whatever. I enjoyed this :)
