Your argument is nothing but your bigotry backed up by a fallacious appeal to “historical accuracy” that doesn’t exist.

I’ve checked your profile. You’ve got a history of incel-level misogyny on clear display regularly. You want to pretend you’re not a horrible bigot and I should read your words as if I lack that context. No one is going to humor you. You don’t deserve it.

She definitely bumps her trailing leg. I don’t think it’s a foul though. Sauerbrunn is trying to cut the angle to block her shooting lane and is running past her not through her. It was bad luck they tangled but I disagree with a yellow or a foul call there. England had been working the ref pretty hard by that point…

I really don’t understand why we aren’t seeing Pugh late to run at tired defenses. If you’re a pressing team abandoning the press for a defensive formation seems like an iffy tactic. You can waste time without ceding so much ground.

There’s no historical accuracy. The idea that there is is a myth wielded for largely bigoted ends by bad people. Having women fighting is no more “inaccurate” than someone in 9th century Scandinavian lamellar and mail fighting someone in 15th century full plate. 

“If you disagree with me, react in a way that doesn’t undercut my bullshit”. Really? That’s some absurd entitlement.

What makes you think you’re qualified to assess the “degree of deviation”?

Bit of international news people might care about, an airstrike on a migrant detention facility near Tripoli in Libya has killed at least 44 people, injured around three times that many from the last report I saw, and probably constitutes a war crime.

Anyone who claims they want accuracy from that game is hopelessly ignorant of the historical record and how much their idea of what is “medieval” is a bunch of false tropes, myths, and often racist caricatures of the actual period. 

This is a pretty obvious way to excuse misogyny and it’s abundantly clear you lack the historical knowledge to actually discuss “realism” in any honest manner. None of it is realistic! That screenshot up there is mixing armor styles from various centuries already.

I’m not usually out of the greys here, so I can’t really speak to Deadspin’s unique comment culture (most of the blogs here really have their own) but generally bringing out someone you think is trolling is bad etiquette. Leaving them in the greys keeps things less cluttered for better conversations, though on an…

Please dismiss GnatB. I don’t want that right-wing troll in my subthread. Thanks. 

The consistency of rhetoric and narrative suggests coordination to me, in this case and others. It’s also known that the White House loves to send out attack lines to friendly right-wing outlets pretty consistently, though whether they actually require the orders or not, as you say, is probably debatable. 

I regret bringing this person out of the greys. They responded with precisely the trollish reaction I should have expected, and didn’t back up their claims with anything. 

Morgan got fouled hard multiple times. If you call that diving, your incompetence is off the charts. I remember her selling a foul once, but there was a real foul there.

I don’t know if any of those contracts have been published or leaked. I do know the Flores settlement sets some minimum standards for children that these centers have been repeatedly violating, which is part of the issue here. The federal government is bound by the settlement. Just a few days ago the judge in charge…

I follow a journalist on Twitter who’s kept a strong focus on the detention centers and migration issues in Libya, Sally Hayden. She manages to contact people in the centers, at least by text, pretty regularly.

This is a coordinated push by the RNC, far-right media outlets, and pretty much every racist charlatan on social media to smear AOC. Not shocked the administration sent out one of their dishonest stormtroopers to further the smear.

Not a great match for the officials. A couple of England players were playing really rough, I’d call it dirty, and the ref did nothing. By my count at least two deserved to be on yellows by the mid second half at the latest on PI grounds at least. The PK awarded looked pretty dubious to me. Going behind her to try and…

This looks a lot like how migrants are detained in places like Libya (in fact I’m explicitly thinking of detention centers in Libya set up with European money to prevent people trying to cross the Mediterranean). Those centers, it should be said, widely and consistently violate human rights. But in those cases at…
