Nope. The response "then learn English" is perfectly valid. Sorry, no privilege involved in me applying myself and learning.

I cannot get past the umlaut in his name.

Is this phase 2 of internet arguing? When proven wrong, you cross your arms, say "I'm right" and stop even your sloppy version of research? Or was googling "Unruh Act" more difficult than googling "protected classes in California"?

While you educate yourself (or, more likely, convince yourself that you're practically a…

Oh for fuck's sake. STOP GOOGLING SOMETHING AND THEN ACTING LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND THE LAW. IT IS BASED ON THE UNRUH ACT. IT IS IN THE CCC. IT PREVENTS ALL BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS FROM ENGAGING IN THE PROHIBITED ACTIONS.

Fuck, I love the age of information we live in, but I hate people who spend 3 minutes googling and…

Yeahhh. I'm an attorney, and have been researching a bit more into this, and it's horseshit. Already sending out some feelers to represent some friends who work in the industry.

Right... except that most porn stars live (or at least work) in California, where source of income IS a protected class.

Soooo... let's try that one again.

Except the difference here is that banks are given powers, assurances and assistance by the government, which is We the People.

It's the same reason you can't deny business to someone for racial reasons - having dealings with the state gives your denial the appearance of vicarious governmental discrimination. It'll be…

Well, then, good riddance.

And you're free to, but it is still what they did. I've always read that comedians like Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer were okay with their rape jokes because "they weren't making fun of the victim, the victim wasn't the target of the joke," and it wasn't because they were women. Well, PA's comic wasn't making fun of…

Unless the "someone" who "feels strongly enough that something is egregious enough to speak up over and fight for or against" happens to be Krahulik, in which case, fuck him. Right?

And, for the third time, it didn't go away because his support base is not nearly as large or rabid as Colbert's. There were just as many…

How fucking dare she have an opinion.

Criticism is not *always* a call for censorship.

Often times, though, it is. People are rarely content saying "this isn't good because of X." They will almost invariably tack on "so we should call for its boycott/firing/execution," or "so let's attack its creator and its fans," or some such.

See: the Colbert Controversy.

Actually, that's *kinda* what they did.

No, actually - Colbert didn't say "it was a joke taken out of context," he said that he wasn't the one who made the tweet at all. And he wasn't. His SUPPORTERS said it was a joke taken out of context, just like many of PA's supporters did so.

And PA's original response was a comic saying "we aren't supporting rape, and…

Almost everything you just said can be applied just as easily to the Colbert "controversy." He never apologized for the original joke, and since he's not Asian, he can't comment the way Suey Park could. Does that matter? No, she took the joke out of context, raged at it, and got legions of perpetually outraged…

Nope, sorry. You can twist that shit however you want.

People were extremely offensive to him over the comic and attacked him. And he defended himself. To which they felt offended that he dared defend himself. Everything he said was immediately interpreted in the most general and bigoted way possible, when it wasn't.

I'v…

That isn't true. I was calling game companies, putting posts on Craigslist, offering myself at the most cutthroat rates you'd ever seen. I actually offered my services at BELOW 3 digits an hour (that sounds pompous, but fuck, we're talking about good law work here). I just wanted to be involved in video games so bad,…

Just want to say, I'm incredibly jealous of you. I've tried to break into the video game legal industry SO, SO, SO hard - finally had to settle for a completely unrelated field of law because bills. I still fantasize about working for the ESA. =(

Ahaha, I love this comment.

"Oh, how I wish that he would be reasonable and agree with me, rather than join the masses in their stupidity." Get over yourself. Have you considered maybe you're the one wrong on this issue?

In 2 other threads, you claimed that the Parliament voted Pres. Yanukovich out, I responded showing that the vote was unconstitutional as it didn't meet the majority requirement and they went ahead with it anyway, and you never responded.

I'm saying this both because of your "the guy who was installed as the prime…
