Let's assume this fetus were viable. And then it would be born with a ton of special needs and health problems and likely need care 24/7.

This entire thing is just disgusting, and sad, and horrible, and all I wish is for peace for this family. This is the opposite of giving them peace. Shame on anyone who thinks this is okay and shame on the legislators who made this law in the first place. How anyone can see this as anything other than a woman being…

I just finished AC Liberation HD and I was very impressed. The game does a great job of using gender and race as game mechanics, switching between the Lady persona and the Slave persona. I went into this game with low expectations to be honest, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Aveline is a great character, I only…

I think it's actually that anyone doing this is wrong no matter where they are.

The fuck? Since when do exorcisms involve stabbing?
This is just very sad.

It's about standing up for what may be right but almost no one thinks so.

Pretty sure your right to mourn does not extend to more than three months of mementos piling up in a residential neighborhood. That's what cemeteries and one's one home altars and general interiors are for. Three months is plenty long enough for a public display on public property. I empathize with the family, but…

In some cultures but not all. In many Asian cultures "whiteness" has been the standard before there was any contact with Europeans, for example. Even non-Caucasian people have lighter skin when they never go in the sun.

I think the preference for lighter skin in various cultures is much more complicated than "white privilege and power". It's about being WEALTHY. White people want to look tanner to a) look thinner and b) appear to have a leisurely life (you know, moneyed). In cultures where the poor work outside and the wealthy inside…

Don't forget this part:

I choose not to soften it because this man who has chosen to say that someone yelling "no" until they are hoarse, something that women are taught is irrefutable proof of rape (I didn't just say no, I yelled it until I lost my fucking voice) could indeed be interpreted as yes, is not thinking with the rationale of a…

Exactly - Introversion doesn't mean you can't have high energy, that you can't be sociable and capable of interacting with other human beings or that you're by default shy. Introversion has more to do with how you end up processing these interactions at the end of the day. It's easy for people to read me as an…

no. like any group on facebook and you'll see the exact same dumb, hate filled comments you see anywhere else. using the name Bongboi420 doesn't turn someone into a d-bag, they just happen to be a d-bag.

I used to work in the video game industry as well...I definitely do not agree that the majority of the video game industry is made up of introverts..quite the opposite.

As much as I want to play a new MGS, I'll probably won't buy Ground Zeroes. It's too expensive for a one level demo to be sold for $30, Kojima himself said Phantom Pain is gonna be 100x larger than Grand Zeroes, so I'll probably wait until they bundle the game together.

I think you have to be very careful about differentiating between criticism of the systems that reward and punish women based on how much they're willing and able to participate in a cultural ideal of attractiveness and criticism of individual women who participate in those systems to survive in a world that's a hell…

Ugh, now I feel bad for the guy who was stabbed. He was trying to protect her and in the confusion, she stabbed him.

Women are willing too, but they aren't making as much as the men, so there is that.

I really wanted this game to not suck.
