I think she comes off as unhinged. I don't think this is helpful, accosting people in public even as public figures. I don't like Trump and I despise his administration. But this is not brave or useful—it's like that guy who accosted Ivanka Trump on that flight. As a matter of strategy this is not "brave" or

Don't forget about the rapeseed!

It's more surprising to me that people thought it was the equatorial trench! That one's visible from a long ways off, so it can't possibly be the one—the one where the weakness is located is very, very narrow and is surrounded on all sides by those double-gunned turret things, which you would think would have been

Blow off, choffer.

I was thinking the Pixar movie and thought that was a picture of child Patton Oswald, but this is really a British documentary series about childhood and now I feel both thrown and dumb.

Thank God, I was beginning to think everyone in this comment section was being willfully, viciously stupid.

So I see you defend this crappy article which condescends and presumes an audience that doesn't care about Margaery or all the interesting and compelling ways women have been developed in this show outside of the horrid violence which, by my recollection, has spared no one.

I do not understand this article at all. Game of Thrones features terrible violence against everyone, including women, and yet includes a lot of heroic and admirable women who have survived their male counterparts and conquered in the face of adversity. And that they are interesting characters, and not merely "women

Horror can be both cool and horrifying. If it is simply "cool" to you, that's totally awesome. Just goes to show how many different ways even art geared towards a specific purpose can be appreciated from so many different angles!

I have to say yes and no to this article. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a horror movie that incorporates a scene of relief (even if it is followed by more horror, like Psycho and Bates' final internal monologue). There is nothing wrong with an explanation, although it absolutely can hurt a film. I argue it's

Sam Biddle, in whole, is a horrible human being. Not just even the Justine Sacco thing. He continues to be bullish and stupid and opportunistic to this day despite saying "Oh, I know how it feels now."

There was another poster here who helped me refine my sentiment on this matter, which is: yes, it would have been completely fine if her boss had seen it and fired her for unprofessional behavior, but it was completely out of line for Gawker to run a story air it to the known universe.

Not sure absolutely everything has to be about #GamerGate, dude.

They might be "completely fucked up," but I think the appeal is in doing something that is perceived by that person as transgressive. It's a fine but important distinction. It was socially acceptable to use the n-word or fag, then I doubt 4chan would take to it. The fact that it offends and is morally unpalatable is

So, in essence, you do think she deserved it. I am not so sure about that. I don't think anyone who says something online should be pilloried and punished in the real world for a misstep, no matter who they are.

As someone who was introduced and consequently immersed into Chan culture in early high school (2004-ish), the reason I enjoyed (I can only really speak for myself), was that it was cathartic and raw. Not even because I agreed with it, but just because it was nice to see a group of people willing to buck all pretense

Nah?

I would argue there is: interactive stories. We don't call the children's books with the tabs in them that you can pull to flesh out the scene, cause an action, or get more visual information "games." These are just that in digital form.

To call this—and Gone Home, for that matter—a "game" is incorrect. Games have success and fail states, and mechanics around which one can improve their skill. These are interactive short stories. I think it's important that distinction is made—"what is art" is often hard to define, if it even can be. And I feel both

I never said it was criminal. Just that her efforts are some combination of insincere and exploitative. Al Sharpton and Alex Jones aren't criminals either. But I would never pretend for a second they do what they do because they have such a big heart for their society.
