An MSG game without overlong exposition would be like a porno without sex.

I disagree about the "liberal arts", whatever that means, but I went to university in the UK where women's studies is basically non-existent. Feminism is studied in philosophy courses, anthropology courses (like mine), in history, history and philosophy of science, sociology, politics, and other subjects where it's…

I don't have a very high opinion of the liberal arts, so forgive me for saying that you don't need women's studies classes to teach you to think critically. I was born and grew up in a country where no one has even heard of women's studies and you'll find plenty of women who :"think critically about precisely these…

Wellllllll, while obviously incredibly anal, they have a point. People seriously do not need to eat every fucking where they go. I hate eating in class, eating in meetings, eating and WALKING (weird pet peeve of mine)! Seriously meal time is meal time is meal time.

Pineapples aren't crunchy fruit, angry guy. Seriously, as a fellow misophone, I understand the irrational rage, but you've got to tamp it down.

Yes, that was the original joke. Some person somewhere was unhappy with the rape reference. Penny Arcade responded by making an actual rape comic immediately afterward (the joke is, "Hey rapers, go and rape no more"), glamorizing the Dickwolf character in merchandise, and just generally being assholes about the whole…

"___ just fucked us."

As a white woman from Canada, I will tell you that this outright level of ignorance does surprise me, but as a cynic, it just goes on to the ever-growing pile of "Why We Can't Have Nice Things" that I just find a way to accept. Racists? Yep, those exist. But I don't have to face it on a daily basis, so I forget that…

Discworld references are the best references.

I think it's more the 6 year age gap and the fact that he's literally crying about getting the game. If he was 13 and conducted himself at least like his age (this kid is acting like a toddler), people wouldn't care as much, if at all.

But can he run Crysis?

I think you have to give these things a chance to find out how they handle it. I've always felt that the huge swing in acceptance of homosexuality over the past couple decades has been due to the increasing portrayal of homosexuality in mainstream culture. Something like this, done right, could help to spur acceptance…

I'm a White American, and my wife is Japanese, and our son is half. We all live together in Japan, and people here always stare at us like we are Martians. If I open my mouth and start speaking Japanese, they stand back and gasp. This is my life, every day.

idk where the fuq i would wear this but I WANT

I get the sense that this commenter is a college/high school student who has never actually worked in a corporate environment.

I don't hear about the lack of men working as cleaners, or carers, or childminders. See? Works both ways.

Translation: The system is set up in a way that favors people like me, so I have no interest in seeing it changed.

Your joke post was so great! Really, thank you for that. "Blacks are paid the same and face no more discrimination ever! No one wants to rape you, that never happens to women ever!"

And then you don't have a career.
