I'm not sure why you're questioning that...just because someone is a rapist, doesn't mean they're a pedophile as well. And while both are absolutely reprehensible, I have to admit that I do think someone who committed statutory rape against a child is a far worse human being than someone who raped an adult. BOTH are…

You know what I like about Raven's response? She clears the rumors about herself up, asks to be left out, and does not rush to defend him or refute any other women's claims (Ahem, cough cough, friends of Woody Allen).

I've never been called a troll before! I am going to mark this momentous occasion in my Lisa Frank journal.

A COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE "MAKE YOUR OWN GAMES" ARGUMENT

"Cherry pick data"? If you're referring to Sarkeesian's videos, that's...not what's going on. Like, at all. Unless, of course, you want to argue that a huge chunk of academic cultural and media criticism is "cherry picking data".

And everyone has a political agenda. Choosing not to talk about this stuff is political;…

You can't gerrymander the Senate because it's statewide.

This is true. What's unusual in Radcliffe's case (as opposed to, say, Tom Cruise or Kiefer Sutherland) is that they don't try to hide how much shorter he is than everyone else. THAT'S unconventional.

Yeah, that struck me as notable, too. June was just a child herself when she had Anna. It's profoundly fucked up.

Radcliffe shoots and scores. Well said.

Yeah. The real root of the issue is that a bunch of people who don't much like women have decided that video games are the whole of their identity. It's like, take a shower, take a walk and interact with someone who isn't in your WoW guild. People having different opinions about something you like isn't the end of the…

Not to mention that even if it were about ethids, gamergate has a pretty bizzaro definition of what ethics means. From a storify:

Who is saying Gamers are vile people? Sarkeesian didnt't. Wu didn't. Quinn didn't. Felicia Day sure didn't. You guys are as good at victimhood as you are at threatening and terrifying women.

What you're experiencing is often referred to as a "Heteronormative" outlook. This is "denoting or relating to a world view that promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation". The idea that heterosexuality, even though it is far more common than homo or bisexuality is more "normal" than other…

That's because what you said is pretty homophobic.

Congress can't exactly override the Supreme Court like they can a Presidential veto. They can pass laws that render SCOTUS decisions moot. Of course, that means they'd have to pass some laws, which hasn't been happening much of late.

I might add that if one wants to discuss ethics in games journalism, they would be better off not using anything like a label for anyone to highjack in the process. Many #Gamergate I have run into claim that critics have made an identity out of it and thus made it about attacking that identity. But by the very nature…

I wish there were a word to describe food that's non-industrial, small-batch, and generally made with care and attention by a human person, but without the twee, vomitous affectation that artisanal has. Because I am, by and large, a fan of a****anal food. Lots of it is good and interesting and worth putting in your…

If you don't like editorial opinion that's fine but I'm not quite sure how extortion is supposed to somehow lead to "ethics in journalism". In fact, threatening their advertisers to pull ads when you don't like editorial content is in direct opposition to infusing more ethics into the process.

Well, that's another of Cosby's problematic layers: the fact that he thinks every black person in America should listen to what he has to say. Even if his private life was squeaky clean, it would still be gross.

That's a fair statement to make, however I think you're ignoring the HUGE difference between Polanski and Cosby.

Polanski isn't going around telling men how to behave around women and that they should be more like him.

Cosby IS going around telling black audiences that they should behave more like him because he pulls…
