"Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position."
-Wikipedia Definition


Which, if you had watched the…

the answer is that there are a lot of answers. Much like Occupy, everyone has their own reasons for getting involved. Id argue a majority are because of the perception of corruption and incestuous nature of gaming journalism. Some others may not like the arguably negative shift in tone that has occurred within…

Cue the self-loathing brainwashed white hipsters that are all over this site like a virus in 3....2....

Cue the race-baiting, preemptive attacks on anybody who might critique the article's premise.

I'm questioning why this - of all fan-made overpriced etsy video game merch - is getting posted. Are you friends with the artist? Are these made by a child?

Well.. This is depressing.

"We had two bags of gysahl greens, seventy-five pieces of phoenix down, five hi-powered elixirs, a saltshaker half-full of smelling salts, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored hypers, tranquilizers, eye drops, echo screens... Also, a quart of remedy, a quart of holy water, a case of potions, a pint of raw ether, and…

Your discipline sounds like how my mom did it. Spanking, or with a wooden spoon. She died when I was ten and my brother was eight. His only memories of her are of her hitting him with a wooden spoon.

Keep fighting the good fight. Next thing you know, they'll be arguing that swatting your dog on the nose is animal cruelty.

The more I watch this, the more I think she's cherrypicking in very dishonest fashion. She wants to use Dragon Age, Far Cry 3 and Red Dead Redemption as examples of violence being done to "helpless" women for narrative shock value (dog kicking trope) and involving sexual objectification.

MK8 causes MAJOR rage in my house/friends houses. 25+ years of gaming, I've seen it all but the angst that this cute ass game causes is grounds for a documentary on the human condition lol. 12 years of marriage, I've never seen my wife punch a coffee table the way she does while playing MK8 lol.

God, I am going to get an ouya and cry my eyes out when this comes out. Also because I spent money on an Ouya.

How you gon' make an article about The Rock and completely not include The Rundown? Bar none probably one of his best movies.

Um...Hitler was born in Austria. I would hope you've heard of him.

They must have been Turkish. I've never heard of an Austrian trying to harm Jews.

You lose credibly for arguing that the guy was actually threatening to anally rape her. It's certainly true that he shouldn't be making a rape joke (in this case a prepare your anus joke) but nobody seriously believed that to be a rape threat.

Go back to Jezebel.

This is complete bullshit. If he didn't rape someone, he should absolutely defend himself. People are raped and it's horrible, but people are also falsely accused and that's also an injustice. These things come down to pure "he said, she said" and that's what makes them so difficult, but an innocent person…

"As a Jew, and as someone who has been raised to always support Israel (which, according to my parents, is my spiritual home, although I have never been)"

The issue is that if they changed it now, there would be such a fan outrage that I'd have t avoid the internet for at least two months. People get butthurt easily - and this comes from someone who is still butthurt over the ending of ME3. I don't even compare to the Doctor Who fans though.
