I grew up in a religious household and now I'm an atheist. I have no issue with this. People reminded me to say my prayers, and while they weren't happy about my not choosing to go to church as a teen and adult, no one freaked out. He didn't say "I'm going to withhold food from you until you pray" or "I'm going to…

Sorry, sometimes kids grow up in a religious tradition. I agree his phrasing of expressing that was kind of awkward, but ehhhh...

That's what's so bizarre about it all. Anita is a moderate feminist who just says Feminist 101 things. Nothing radical about any of it. It's all really mild.

Nothing has to be neutral or lifeless - just realistic. The way the Destiny characters sit is a good example. We wouldn't expect a character to stand on its head but we accept this lounge position because of sexist stereotypes. If the character did stand on its head, we would expect an explanation or context. What was…

She's not demanding anything. They're suggestions. Propositions. Ideas. She can't censor anything, she's not a government entity.

I can dig that list.

Oh, I know. I was told off for supporting her points because her views apparently negated "freedom of art". Good grief, way to miss the point. Sarkeesian's views are so simple, it's kind of incredible GG doesn't get that.

She's calling for more respectful treatment of female characters in games. More diversity. More options. More choices. That doesn't take anything away from games. At all.

There should be more fat chicks in video games.

That's the argument I always present to people that hate Anita. Forget the "message" and just ask yourself, "What does she actually want?" When you answer that question honestly the answer is not that world-shaking, no matter who you are.

Out of random curiosity... Would anybody out there be genuinely upset if there were more female characters in video games than men?

I thnk you do have a right to be pissed off that someone you trusted would turn on you.

But how else will I know what Yahoo Sports was already reporting two hours ago?

Dude, dick paraphernalia is the fucking worst. Get her a sash that says "Bachelorette" or a tiara or something, or dress up like you're doing Glamour Shots, but for the love of all that's holy, don't get dick paraphernalia. Not only is it uncomfortable for at least half the party (if not more), it's utterly…

at this point he is merely collateral damage in my personal battles.

I'm sure he'll lose a lot of sleep over losing the sympathy of a whiny intolerant. Have you come to realize yet that not a single person in the world actually needs you or your sympathy?

He's not using god as an excuse to be a shitty person...he's using his belief in a deity to help him get through a tough time.

If he were waging war in the name of his religion, then I'd understand your viewpoint, but he's not.

Militant atheists are just as terrible as militant Christians.

There are plenty of public and political discussions around addressing these pressures on men. I know this may come as a shock to you, but part of feminism is helping dismantle these notions of acceptable masculine roles and acceptable feminine roles —-for the benefit of all of us. If teaching is no longer seen as a…

Ruling a player who earned academic scholarships ineligible. Nice.

That was close. One of the poors almost had a chance at life, glad we stopped that before he got other poors thinking that they could succeed too.
