I was wondering how long it would take for someone to drop a no true Scotsman fallacy and the term SJW. Thanks for giving me a 2 for 1. You can keep your head in the sand, it doesn’t change the fact that gaming has a massive, overwhelming problem with sexism, misogyny and sexual violence. I know the excuse for…

You ignored the part where he tried to rape a child. You saw the article and thought, “how can I defend this wannabe child rapist?”

So, when does the girl start getting rape and death threats? This the gaming community after all. Then after a concerted harrasment campaign, they can all claim it’s “just some shitlords” and gaming can go back to ignoring it’s massive misogyny and sexual violence problem.

The ol Biff Tannen playbook

Quite the leap of logic there. You enjoy playing games competitively? You’re a rapist!

Glad to see that they’re not going all “boys club” and trying to ignore or defend these actions. It’s far too common that these sorts of problems pop up and everyone just wants to sweep it under the rug.

READ THE BOOK!!!! I know it’s a particularly stressful read at the moment with Gilead feeling more and more like the everyday. But doooo eeeeet. You’ll not regret it. It’s so good. Probably one of the books I’ve re-read the most with A Clockwork Orange and Neverending Story.

Okay, Great North American novels. Great English language novels taking place in what is supposed to be the former United States of America. Call it what you like.

I haven’t read the book yet

I don’t think their point is “this was 100% better in the good old days”. Their sense is that in the last few years they feel that anime and such has gotten a bit stagnant and perhaps the same sort of stories are oversaturated. Most of it stars teenagers, and the lack of relatable adult protagonists has gotta…

I tend to be instantly turned off by the “things used to be better” track of logic, but the creators here shore up their reasoning with arguments that go beyond nostalgia, and the line of thought serves more as a supplement to the core, which seems like an interestingly constructed and presented game. I’ll be…

I disagree.

I tried watching it, and it didn’t feel like Archie, it just felt like Dawson’s Creek mashed up with Twin Peaks and precocious teens.

Ditto. I don’t know if Riverdale is the show for me (though I should probably watch it, hopefully I’m wrong), being someone who never had any desire to watch Dawson’s Creek, and who honestly wished all the infidelity aspects of Twin Peaks weren’t there (but I’ve also been cheated on, so I’ve had enough of relationship…

I understand the tone that this show aims for and I get why people enjoy it, but I’m still bummed that they couldn’t have just gone with the style of tone of Mark Waid’s current Archie series. Everything is updated to today’s standards and it still retains the spirit of the original books. The writing is very solid,…

My friend watched the first two episodes and quit. He said it was too much like watching Dawson’s Creek.

Historically, it’s a felt fedora with the brim trimmed off and flipped up. It’s called a whoopee hat or a beanie.

People have tried to look away, oh they have tried.

Sunny is cute as hell. Not sure what you’re seeing.

A lot of things that a lot of people pay others to do are things they could probably do themselves, but for lots of reasons they’d rather not. It’s probably an issue of time, for most people.

I can change my own oil, but not as efficiently as a shop, and I’d rather pay the money for someone else to do it. On the other…
