Disagree with the clipping nails point. Literally no one has nowhere to clip their toenails except the bus. No one. Just outside is a better place than a bus, because you don’t have a captive audience. 

What an idiotic take. I’m talking about that more here because that’s the direction this conversation has gone. I’ve been VERY clear in every single post that the people spewing actual bigotry are the worst of the worst in this entire situation. That’s not in question, for me at least. But sure, attack me for that if…

This entirely depends on how you do your cooking though. Basically every single recipe requires x time at y temperature, and if you don’t preheat your oven, you’re playing quite fast and loose with how that is going to turn out. If you’re not using a recipe, or if it’s something like this where it’s just about…

Correct, I did. You know that just because a phrase is misused or used in stupid circumstances doesn’t mean that it’s a bad phrase and can never be used. I called it out because dumb people would disregard my actual point because of those two words, which you just did, but I did feel like derailing my train of thought…

That was the entire point though. She’s the bad guy when you’re playing one side of it, and then you see her perspective, and it’s supposed to (and does very successfully in my opinion) complicate that viewpoint, and make you see that the protagonist isn’t necessarily always the “good guy”. And I think that’s…

I don’t think she’s saying they’re “acceptable targets” just because she’s excluding them from the group she wants to help. Is it a bad thing to do? Certainly. I don’t see that as supporting violence against them, but I do understand the argument you’re making, that her public influence lends legitimacy to bigots.…

Well feel free to ignore me, but I think you’re wrong that there’s “nowhere for this to go”, so I’m going to continue. Can you explain to me how people are dying because of her? Sincerely asking, in good faith. She is unquestionably an asshole, I will not debate that in any way. And I could see someone saying she…

I’m legitimately not sure what you’re talking about. There are many examples of “barrages of hate”, from both sides. And I’m aware of the taint on that phrase, so I’ll say that the hatred coming from the anti-trans side is objectively worse, and obviously more damaging, and I’m not equating them in any way. But there…

Once again, from a strictly ideological perspective, I'm on your side. However, saying "If you don't immediately agree with me 100 percent, I won't defend my argument and I won't interact with you in any way", you're being ridiculous. Not everyone is a hard-line internet douchebag. I once explained to someone that gay…

That’s a ridiculous stance. If a person donates $100 a month to charities supporting gay people, and then buys a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, that negates everything else? Screaming at someone for buying a video game isn’t supporting trans people, it’s screaming at someone for buying a video game. They’re not the bad guys…

Give me a break and stop using “enlightened centrism” as a blanket insult for anyone who remotely criticizes something you agree with. The bigoted dicks talked about in this article are far and away the worst of the discourse around this game. But the people pretending anyone playing this game hates transgender people…

No reasonable person is saying that, but a LOT of unreasonable people are, and very loudly. Everyone discussed in this article is an asshole, and I would never defend them, nor am I on their side, but there are plenty of people harassing anyone who isn’t explicitly boycotting and bashing this game, and those people…

That part felt like someone dropping an anvil on my head that said YOU’RE OLD! That game was so good.

I read that and immediately assumed that guy has never seen, let alone eaten, any meat. 

This was exactly the problem. It was so hard to tell which paths were open and which were blocked, on some planets more than others. I loved the story on Dathomir, but I also never want to set foot on that map every again. 

Yeah, the idea that you need video game experience for the words “Valhalla” and “Ragnarok” to be “remotely normal” rings a little false with me. They’re not common words, by any means, but there are multiple avenues anyone may have run into them before. Also they’re pronounced pretty much phonetically, unlike whatever…

Exactly. I can’t imagine a flipped scenario where he was expected to win for some reason, and she won in an upset, anyone asking her to say that he should have won instead. The artists don’t pick the winners, and it’s not on them to comment, or really do anything other than try to humbly accept the award, or…

Same. I grew up with games and still play A LOT. My sister would also play video games both solo and with me growing up, and now she refuses to own a console because she says she’d never stop playing. She still plays at family gatherings and such, and can hold her own, but she just can’t have it in the house. Standard…

That’s a fair stance with some nuance, but I feel like that’s not a common one. I think most people who defend accused sexual harassers or sexual predators defend the people they like, and not anyone else. The people who defend Roy Moore and Brett Kavanaugh and Matt Gaetz as OBVIOUSLY innocent because we don’t have…

So you just don’t believe anyone who accuses someone else of sexual assault? That’s consistent, I guess, but it’s an incredibly weird stance to take. Do you think there are overwhelmingly more false accusations than true ones? Because that seems crazy, but the only other option is that you think that avoiding one…
