Maybe this is a good place to brag on my wife (slightly OT):

It’s good to remember that the “get woke go broke” slogan thrown around by the right is deeply untrue. In the American market, “wokeness” sells. It’s something that companies know they can commoditize, and they know that the hard right is large enough to give them free marketing but not large enough to meaningfully…

You can’t argue that video games are art and then turn around and say “keep your politics out of video games.” Art is inherently political (one way or another, it doesn’t matter, it makes a statement). Sports are also political, as Deadspin has articulated before.  eSports then, are doubly political.  And if you make…

The increasing economic power of China, allowing them to enforce increasingly more authoritarian stances on companies because they cannot risk losing the business, is such a delicious irony.

Hidden Boss Revealed...

Bruh the men in FF7 are so hot I’m so thirsty 

Lauding her drive and willingness to do amazing things is great, and I’m sure as hell sad about this, but calling people gutless and sheep because they choose not to take unnecessary risks for an adrenaline thrill is some really pathetic projecting.

Obviously they didn’t have video games, but they did have tabletop games, and funnily enough you really can draw a direct line between them and WWI.

Blame It on the Rain

I grew up (non-Mormon) in a predominately Mormon town, and allllllll those kids were doing butt stuff. The idea being that they were still preserving their virginity for marriage. So I guess “sodomy” is cool so long as it’s only the straights that do it.

Crew members have been complaining about her long before those tweets. What is consistently said about her is that she is mean spirited and treats people like crap. What her tweets did was open that conversation on a mass scale. It was telling that following this, her co-star liked a tweet agreeing that she is a diva…

Stop conflating “eugenics” with the threat of overpopulation, it helps nothing. Just like conflating sex trafficking with sex work. It’s a tactic to stop intelligent debates dead in their tracks.

Yeah, no shit. Here’s a real quick way to tell bullshit: If anyone - anyone anywhere in any context for any reason - hides behind “BUT THE POOR STRAIGHT MEN”, everything they’ve said is a lie. 

I appreciate pointing out the hypocrisy at play here, but this is a flavor of hot take I’m really fucking tired of. Can a tragedy just be a tragedy? Do we always have to justify our emotional responses to stuff like this by comparing it to other tragedies or excuse it by giving some explicit personal or familial…

really don’t give a shit about “cultural relativism” in this case, this is deplorable. japan is awful. 

OK, so I have a 13yo daughter at home right now. And while they can be extremely talented and work hard, they aren’t ‘ladies’ at that age.

I’m shocked! S-H-O-CK-E-D, I’m telling y’all!
