No ever said "let's ban all the 'Damsels in Distress'". That would wipe out like every Zelda game, for one thing. We're just asking for options. Just like all fans, women and minorities deserve to have their opinions considered by gaming companies.

I think it's worse with a group like gamers or nerds because they have a persecution complex. They've always felt like outsiders and losers, so when they find something they love that they can build a community around, they lose their shit when something comes along that wants to change it even the slightest bit.

Yeah. It is seriously not just about one of the more recognized critics. It is a long-time ongoing systemic issue: gaming culture and the industry are not very welcoming to women. And as we're seeing more and more recently, sometimes openly hostile.

Peckercism (n): To perform an exorcism with one's penis.

The physics of it are similar to Santa squeezing down a chimney.

Maybe he almost didn't notice?

Is this ghost fleeing from the vagina or the other ghost?

I'm trying so hard to laugh quietly, but it's hard because I'm losing my shit over here.

Okay, I see what you mean, especially point number 2.

I think that memes help unfunny people feel like they have something to offer in conversation. Hell, I like memes as much as the next internet dweller, but if most of your conversations are memes and references, please consider expanding your horizons.

So true. I love going there and I usually get upvotes for my advice, but people completely lose their shit when talking about opposite sex friendships and cheating. They're fond of the phrase "Once a cheater, always a cheater," which I think is absurd, and a fundamental misunderstanding of what causes people to cheat.…

That's a good point, but it still makes me feel weird. I think it would bother me less if our society was further along in terms of women's rights, but in the context of the prevailing American perception of women, it kind of feels like the old, "Hey, it's great that you have X quality, but you also need to be…

And this:

I guess what I should have said was "even if this headline was on another website."

I agree. If this headline were on another website, I'd be giving it side-eye. Something more germane would be better. She's not a teen model, she's a teen athlete.

I think when women are complaining about not getting attention, it's from men they're in a relationship with because the dude is taking them for granted or the romance is going downhill. I don't think that women everywhere are going "Gee, I wish a random stranger would comment on my appearance." Those that are…

Oh, bummer. I was hoping someone knew him personally and could testify that he is indeed a waste of space.

Conventions for fetishes are pretty common. And they do tend to be loud and obnoxious to outsiders, like all conventions. Basically, I think your complaints probably aren't unique to BBW enthusiasts.

If people would just admit their attractions, it would make life easier for everyone. Feeding the idiotic rigidly-defined standards of beauty are seriously not helpful to anyone.

Remember Me made an impression on me. I remember being hella creeped out, but oddly I don't remember anything about the actual story.
