GTA V is a minefield of missed opportunities. Why doesn't the weed and alky-hol do shit!?!? STFU!

Once again thanks for the reply. Food for thought for sure. I'm with you though, inclusion and diversity is good.

I'm a little confused. When you say "the right to"... what do you mean? Are these rights codified in law, like in the Constitution? or... what? ok, specifically

Well, thanks for responding. I think I make a little sense, but perhaps you could reevaluate the sense you're making. For instance, if there are no rules that all feminists must follow then there's no way to distinguish feminists from non-feminists. There must be SOMETHING that brings all feminists together (just like…

I'm still waiting for....

Well said.

Lindy West is a funny and decent writer, but her thoughts on feminism aren't entirely correct. For instance, she says feminism takes up for the alienated or the marginalized, because it is, "in essence", inclusive. However, "in practice" and "by definition", it isn't. Instead, it is concerned only with women (not an…

I'm a bit confused. Did Time decide feminist should be a word (along with others), then had people vote, or did people vote to make feminism a banned word? Because I'm under the impression it's the former, and while the trolls from number-whatever will be trolls, the Time came up with this on their own. And I see how…

That's kinda interesting how you accidentally made a good point. While some of the backlash against gaming journalism was about ethics and not about hating women, the Time's inclusion of "feminism" was about how the concept is used and presented and not about hating women. It's like, the Time doesn't have a problem…

This really proves nothing. Who's to say a woman couldn't have done the exact same thing at that station? Even if the viewers noticed and complained or the boss noticed and complained it only proves they've got sexist viewers and bosses. There's no "double-standard" because there is no "standard" except whatever…

Sounds like something is missing. Like, during his year, how many of his female coworkers were called up on that. I mean, just the fact that no one gave a shit about him doesn't prove people do give a shit about women's clothes. Why didn't he have a female coworker do the same thing, and wear the same generic dress…

There might be some outcry, but I doubt it'd be from men. Most of it will come from other women who think this is below "the standards" of "fashion". So we can probably blame fashion culture for this, and who largely supports fashion culture? Women.

Where the fuck is the stock market?!?! I got tired of waiting for that and dropped GTAO a while ago.

Internet abuse is bad, but it wasn't a coordinated campaign of "gamers" of the type describe by that vile article you linked to (that was not a critique of "consumer culture", it was a string of insults and stereotypes poorly and shamefully disguised as progressive social commentary). The sooner that evil side of…

As a black guy who lives around and works with 90% black people and have heard this word used daily, I can attest that, to some blacks, the n word means nearly exactly what the racist thinks it means "a worthless person, someone with neg traits ingrained". Of course there's the huge diff that one thinks one or some…

But Piers never said that if blacks stopped saying n***a then racism would end. He simply said it would serve to dis-empower racists' arguments and discourage its use overall including places like school hallways.

I'm starting to like her more than Louie C.K. I mean his "oh poor me" shtick was funny for a while but got old. And then when I hear Tig with ACTUAL problems take those real life horrors and make them funny (whilst still feeling and respecting her pain), it's next level shit.

The title of that linked article was

women of size? what does that mean? fat?

Maybe she's more broad minded than just broad minded. HA! but let me explain:
