I feel. I can’t sleep without getting anxious at the thought. Mindfulness and meditating is helping me deal with it and I am noticing significant improvements after two months, thanks Dan Ryckert for being a prominent advocate of such in the gaming community.

What big strong man have eating disorder? How pathetic! Me thinks he should go die.In all honesty if we want true equality man we gotta get rid of these stigmas and biases which is an impossible task

I a little bit hate that at the same time though, because no one should have to “Stay in their lane.” That attitude is all wrong on every level.

There are jokes about rape that are clever, because they ridicule the rapist or shed light on how fucked up rape is; there are jokes about race that are funny because they expose the absurdity of racism. Any topic can be hilarious if framed in an intelligent way and if it punches up.

So how does Lena Dunham rank against Odell Beckham Jr in the Oppression Olympics? I know I’m required to believe that someone is a bigot but the rules are confusing and I need help to decide.

Me too! Her work kept getting such raves, I tried both the show and Tiny Furniture, and I just... couldn’t understand. This shallow, self-absorbed navel-gazing, laced with a whopping dose of contextually bizarre self-pity, was considered somehow intelligent, interesting, or insightful? Er... what?

Having experienced both a burst ovarian cyst and a rape, I wouldn’t consider them to be comparable experiences. And I resent the fuck out of the idea that because I or other women have gone through X, I should be totally down with any jokes about Y. Maybe some people can. Others can’t and shouldn’t have to.

flake could be flakka

In the same sense that we keep killing Sean Bean. As long as its not real homicide or murder, then there is nothing inherently wrong/illegal with depicting the act of ending another person’s life onscreen.

Also. Bullet points:

- There is a difference between morality and tastefulness/classiness. This is hard to…

I agree with your point about how it pertains to the “characters”, I’m not exactly sure how best to explain it, but simply put it’s the misconception of how things customs & traditions work in the fictional Westeros vs our, real world. Sure, a lot of it is a reflection of things were in medieval & ancient times in the…

I think we all can agree that ramsey Bolton is devoid of ethics and morals.

Children were burned alive on this this show and you’re not complaining about it. Are you pro murdering children ?

Let me take a different side here and say that I’m always a little worried about placing morality as an ultimate arbiter of artistic expression. Not because you’re being irrational—not thinking that women getting raped on television makes for good entertainment is actually a pretty unassailable stance—but because…

While I am not the biggest fan of her comedy, I found Amy’s take on the current situation to be quite reasonable, even admirable. She nicely balanced the concern for freedom of expression and her obvious affection for Kurt with strong disagreement about both the content of his ideas and how they are expressed online.…

Oh shit I am so sorry we are supposed to defer to internet outrage when it comes to deciding how we feel about people we are close to. It’s almost as if our feelings towards the people we love who do and say DUMB ASS SHIT were super simple!! I mean sometimes I forget to tell my future mother in law that I straight up…

That’s kind of a BS way of holding a woman accountable for a man’s bad behavior.

I waded through Metzgers rants - I’m not sure how many people here have - and he’s clearly trying to be incendiary. He has, in his own way that must of us wouldn’t accept, walked back his statements to claiming his objection is to the way social media fans the flames of a situation that is yet to be based on evidence.

I think the fruitfulness isn’t so much that there is no activist student, but rather there is no activist student that isn’t an insufferable brat. In open discussions, people will have different ideas, and oftentimes you may not like those ideas, and that’s ok. The issue comes that the activist may think that all must…

I’m remembering a classmate who went on a very long “white people can’t have ethnic heritage” tirade and just wouldn’t accept that some white people do have a connection to a specific ethnic group. And a kind of chicken professor that just let her berate us.

Sometimes, on the other hand, an activist student can successfully engage the rest of the class in a lively and productive discussion—a situation that the instructor can facilitate, and in response to which the instructor will be profoundly grateful.
