Seriously, guys. Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

Oh look, someone who thinks their personal disinterest in a subject is something other people need to know about. The irony is that not caring about these issues and trying to ignore them actually contributes to the problem itself. Disinterest is tacit approval of the status quo. Congratulations on your white penis.

And it is the right of the rest of society to point at you, laugh, and say “look at this ignorant, bigoted asshole who wouldn’t know racism if it was raised above his house on a flag pole.”

Excellent deflection of my question. Okay well let’s go over things, shall we? Anita does academic research. That doesn’t explicitly mean “studies” as in surveys or quantative measurement. Her field is cultural criticism. So research in this case means researching cultural objects. Her methodology is quite routine for…

Yeah, I’m sure Last Week Tonight is doomed now that the 30 or so basement dwelling failures who still make up Gamergate aren’t going to be watching it anymore.

Maybe guys joke and laugh about rape and sex because they are not as likely to be victims of sexual violence. Maybe they think it’s nice to hear “you look pretty” unsolicited, not realizing how often comments like that are just the beginning. “You’re pretty.” “Thank you.” “Do you keep your pussy shaved?”

Yup, exactly this. The moment someone decides to just sit in the base and not help is when *they* become the reason the team lost. I’ve never had a game where I just went “gg” and stopped trying to win, no matter how far behind we are. Every loss is a learning experience; if you stop taking part of the experience, you…

It started off so misleading. Oh whats this. A western setting? Some Johny Cash music? Really? We’re getting a new western IP? Oh no wait, it’s Mass Effect, and now my penis is erect.

So you haven’t been watching the finals, eh?

Maybe they moved him to linebacker, and when he asked which one, they confused him by saying, “Play the Will, Mike Sam.”

If I’ve learned anything from sports, it’s that you can’t just deck women at home and expect to get away with it.

I can’t help but think that the angry folks criticizing ESPN for giving Jenner the Arthur Ashe Award are the same ones who would have criticized ESPN for naming an award after Arthus Ashe in the first place.

“Just what kind of courage is Jenner showing?” said the angry pitchfork-wielding mob that scorned and hated a person for revealing her true identity.

The point of the ending of Snowpiercer isn’t that they two kids escape and restore humanity, it is that they will get to briefly live and die free of the train. The movie argues that humanity is captive of its own innate cruelty and deserves to die. Saving the species merely would mean salvaging that cruelty and…

A surrender option is the one thing I really, really hope is never added. The games are already (usually) shorter than any LoL or Dota game, and people have a tendancy to just give up after one or two bad early teamfights, when in reality HotS is a game where a bad series of engages can be completely reversed by one…

His criticism isn’t that sci-fi or fantasy as a genre are entirely childish, it’s that a large number of people are now consuming ONLY the most childish aspects of science fiction and fantasy.

Ha ha, it’s funny because he’s using his brain to think about things and doesn’t necessarily think the exact same way he did as a younger man. Good one.

Good lord, what hostile responses. Not that it matters since he’ll never see them, but still.

I think he’s got a pretty valid point - why aren’t there more movies like Ex Machina and Mad Max? These big spectacle movies aren’t about anything anymore. Yeah, I like watching the Hulk and Iron Man fight, too, but he’s absolutely right on the money that it’s not really leaving us with anything. We need more…
