Fuck this racist, misogynistic dude. You don’t get to call for the murder of women because they exercise their legal choice of abortion just to be edgy. Stating your opinions has consequences, the most important of which for a writer should be denial of a platform. Shame on the Atlantic...

Even if YOU say “men and women are equal,” women are still massively disadvantaged in real life — so if you’re going to then treat women the same as men, you’re only reinforcing a system where men do better than women.

Sorry, gotcha, misread the quote. Was very focused on “Cookies.”

I only wish shit like this destroyed their careers. Maybe this guy will get fired, since he’s an official commentator. But you see this attitude all over Youtube and Twitch, and it never seems to make any difference.. There are just too many pre-teen boys who find this to be just so damn ‘edgy’.

Yo, if you’re a native english speaker but not American, that’s a cultural thing. I was perpetually shocked for the first couple of months I lived in the UK, because that word was so frequently used.

I feel like its a quote from a book i read as a kid, maybe david gemmel but it was something along the lines of anyone who brags for themselves knows they don’t have anyone who will do it for them.

Sounds like you’re trying to pick what’s offensive, and to who, and what they can do about it.

You know what else we shouldn’t do? Play oppression olympics in defense of hate speech. “Cunt” doesn’t have to be as bad as “nigger” to still be clearly, obviously, reprehensibly bad. The fact that you’re complaining about the worst word doesn’t give you licence to use other shitty words. It’s a misogynist slur and…

Yeah, that’s what I don’t get about this whole idea about the Midwest. If you can’t decide between a guy endorsed by the KKK and Hillary Clinton without her coming to wipe your ass for you, then maybe it’s not about jobs or economic security and she was fucked either way.

It’s not like she’s appearing at Democratic party gatherings, trying to campaign for Democratic candidates, or even giving interviews to the press. She’s doing a normal post loss speaking engagements, many of them private, but since she’s Hillary Clinton, people are making sure the things she’s saying get fed back to…

I don’t recall anyone telling those other candidates to go away

Oh come on. At this point Clinton could say “we’ve been having nice weather lately” and the media would immediately start screaming “CLINTON OUT OF TOUCH WITH PLIGHT OF FARMERS AS DROUGHT WORSENS!” or “CLINTON ADMITS CLIMATE CHANGE A HOAX!”

I suspect I’m in the minority but this: “...it isn’t necessarily helpful at this very moment.” fucking irks the shit out of me. Like, what, she’s supposed to slink off back to the kitchen where she should’ve stayed to begin with, because that’s what’s HELPFUL for us right now? Fuck that.

Yeah, how dare she answer questions that are asked of her. The bitch!

One of our djs put a ‘go away Hillary’ post up on his fb page last week (we are public media) and got a ton of blow back. He was surprised at the vigor of the responses from women, who were asking him why should she go away. When he came to me to comment upon it, he was again surprised that I agreed with the comments.

Those two things are clearly different levels of severity. This was not about one specific event (like the asshole streamer this post is about) but about genre as a whole. This site has published things about streams of domestic violence.

Because this keeps coming up despite being addressed in the article: the n-word is not in the original song. He added it in.

But the word isn’t in the actual lyrics so he just said it apropos of nothing

Many “sportsball” type people pointed out how terrible a lot of professional athletes are for a variety of reasons. Now we’re seeing a lot of professional gamers (whether that be streamers/youtubers or e-sports type people) are just as awful. I think it just means that there are a lot of assholes out there in every…

This has always been a problem with video games. Not just competitive video games — all of them.
