If I was watching that Facebook live stream and it cut off immediately after I heard him tell the cop he had a gun in his car, I woulda been 1000% sure they killed him. Are cops allowed to just turn off phones like that?

I believe you (and many others) have made that very clear.

Not only that, but that white dude has watched a lot of pornography. Like, an unhealthy amount.

“Ayanna’s dog couldn’t be reached for comment.”

I knew something about this didn’t sound right. I hope T.I. sues the hell out of the gated community HOA (or whatever they are) to the point that he lives there for free for as long as he likes. And that’s just the appetizer.

god i hate that term so much. its so gross and toxic. :’(

They amount of greys with their first comment being on this article is staggering. No wonder gamers have such a bad reputation...

Articles like this are important, even if they may get lost in a sea of misogyny. Thanks!

In other words, the community is shit, and if it can’t improve, either tournament organizers need to take on the literal labor of moderation or women will continue to take on that labor for themselves for free. :/

This isn’t true at all. I have seen a lot of scenes that welcome newbies to try and grow the scene instead of treating them this disrespectfully. If a scene is treating someone they don’t know with disrespect it’s a bad scene.

What Stops Women From Going Pro In Esports

I’ve done a few freelance gigs as a moderator for fighting game tournament Twitch streams, and just the fact that every time a woman competes, I have to spend several minutes banning anyone who says”trap”, WHICH IS EVERYONE, makes me think we’re still a LONG way off from being an area welcome to female gamers.

I agree but note that people may use labels like Queen for brilliant Black women artists because the intellectualized term “genius” is more readily applied to white men of a certain sort. I can’t remember if it was on the Root or another related site - the other day there was an article about the tiny number of Black…

It seems entirely possible that the NYT was biased against Clinton and that Clinton’s aides were sexist assholes to female reporters from the NYT. I’m not sure what the tapes are supposed to show unless he recorded every single interaction he had with Chozick.

I’m not torn. America is a capitalist society, it’s only natural that when feminism goes mainstream in America, it will do so in a way that will reflect that, and be palatable to the mainstream majority.

I love the first line of your OP so much, because it’s true: Purity is the death of any movement, and I agree with this follow-up comment whole-heartedly: there are ways of benevolently using capitalism to reach more people. I’m just side-eyeing Minkoff in particular pretty hard here because she doesn’t even set up…

I think we can all agree that we don’t like feminism+capitalism, and that Minkoff’s a bit callous to profit from this campaign as though feminism is a new spring line, but since the other women promoting the campaign are celebrities, it seems like DeRosa’s participation is the most positive thing about it. (And the…

Purity is the death of any movement. I totally understand that the commercialization of feminism leaves a bad taste in our mouths, but we really do need to welcome it. Corporate interests have the money and power to propel us into new social markets yet untapped by the current grass-roots structure of #MeToo,…
