Amen.

My favorite.

Oh, Anonymous, you were doing so well...

So true. I'm negotiating a contract for my first book right now. 575 page fantasy novel. They want to pay me $3500 for it. The guy wanting to publish it wanted to market it as being the next "Wizards First Rule."
At this point, I'm about ready to walk away and self-publish. I know my book is good. I know it's worth…

A big-six house printed almost half a million copies of OJ Simpson's If I Did It before public outrage became too great and they were forced to pulp the books they had every intention of selling. Random House made more money on that 50 Shades piece of shit than anything from someone who "knows something about writing"…

No, the reason publishing houses exist is to profit from the hard work of writers, making tons of money and paying the writers pathetically low amounts of money. I hope Amazon renders all the publishing houses as extinct as the dodo.

I tried explaining this in the Kotaku thread about Hatred not being published by Valve but nobody wanted to listen and they kept repeating "censorship!"

Your point is that publishing houses would screen out such bad ideas. Despite the mentioned novels, that is a fundamental problem with publishing houses being the only way to produce literature. This novel is a bad idea that doesn't require much debate, but to imply that the censorious nature of PH's is to be…

I'm sure the same sentiments were expressed about Ulysses and Grapes of Wrath. Not that Roughed Up By #GamerGape is destined to join the great canons of high school literature, but you should be aware of the urge for censorship to keep crusading beyond mere your irritations.

As someone who enjoys some pretty "nonconsensual" erotica and other such stuff... just no.

Yes, but they no longer want to do anything accept known quantities, so even decent authors are being dropped or opting for self publishing. But, yes, they would have screened this garbage right out, even the tiny erotica houses would have.

Run-on sentence fail.

Nancy, what the fuck are you talking about please.

Then how are men able to do it in other scenarios? I see dudes sitting in church for hours every week without splaying, or men sitting straight and politely in a chair during long job interviews and they seem to manage fine. Hardly any of them have tears streaming down their faces from the pain of their crushed nuts.

Hip width apart. Your hips are wide enough to accommodate your junk, then your legs can be that far apart.

Don't be ashamed, be proactive and cut that type of behavior down in every male-exclusive social circle you are a part of. It's time for us males to realize sexist, ignorant and/or downright predatory attitudes aren't to be shunned only when women are around to judge us. That shit is unacceptable, and every fucker…

I am waiting for the day when an airline finally, finally, acknowledges the needs of the child-free and finally creates a children and family section in the back of the flight, with a movable sound-muffling divider (so that the section can be made larger or smaller depending on the number of brats on the flight) to…

Russell Brand's heart is in the right place, but every time he speaks, he reminds me off that one, ultra-left Facebook friend who's not nearly as smart or privilege-conscious as he thinks he is, frequently posting Snopes-debunked articles, and demanding that we "wake up, sheeple!"

Gaga was probably trending yesterday because the final concert of her tour was being streamed live from Paris and she has like 40 bazillion twitter followers.

Ghey.
