I have another one. DO approach a woman if you are interested and she is sending you signals (prolonged eye contact, a smile, etc). I lived in Seattle ten years and I never encountered so many passive aggressive men in clubs in my life. I went to clubs, cafes, and concerts alone or with a gf or two. A guy and I would…

My time is more valuable than hers to me the same as her time is more valuable than mine to her. The difference is that the vast majority of women do not have the confidence to walk up to a guy for fear of rejection, where as men have to suck it up or they get left behind. Just because I am the one hitting on her does…

Did not read article but headline graphic looks like grabbing boobs so I'll assume that's what I'm supposed to do.

Did you ever stop to think that he may have not said gamergame because he doesn't commit the fallacy of conflating harrasment and gamergate

I have gotten death threats online as well. I did not notify the media, I instead confronted the threat in a reasonable and logical manor. There was no fleeing of my home or anything like that. Trolls will be horrible trolls regardless of gender. My troll talking about nothing but slitting my throat just to see…

The entire conversation seems like it became moot to me months and months ago. There's entirely too much ugliness with any worthwhile conversation getting buried in the comments.

I agree with you on the first half of your post, but I think it's unfair to the OP of the last quote to be using his words against somebody else in an entirely different conversation.

He was expressly NOT speaking about his personal experiences:

This is false.

It's not entitlement at all. Sarkeesian represents modern progressives' collective delusion that consensus equals truth.

You. Just. Proved. Him. Right.

Thats the overall problem. No one is allowed to debate and be taken seriously or acknowledged by the "mainstream" except to be told we're inherently wrong. The assumption is still "You're mad cause she's a woman" in videos that literally say "I don't care if she's a woman, she has done shady things". Apparently…

The point being is that this content is of the sort which would be posted on Jezebel. You frame it as a 'well reasoned' piece which advocates a 'mutually respectful' debate about gender issues - it is neither of these things. It is clickbait which appeals to SJWs and falls in line with the dominant social narrative,…

I agree. The people who threaten Sark are reprehensible sociopaths, but some of the more extreme people who rush to her defense are almost as bad. If you disagree with her on a point or two, even in a civil manner, you're subjected to personal attacks and various labels that start with the letter M.

Pretty much Doc, I was hoping you'd say something yesterday coming from a PR standpoint when I basically did the same thing you're describing and got accused of using weak rhetorical devices for my trouble because I'm concerned about sexual violence in gaming period, as well as shitty writing and overuse of the same…

I don't read kotaku to read xposted Jezebel crap

Very true. She does not deserve any of the abuse she has had to endure.

I disagree with her vehemently, because she doesn't understand narrative, and she's demonstrated that many times, and many of the "tropes" she uses are far more multi-faceted than she even begins to admit to (The Damsel in Distress being the big one), and I feel she should be ignored because she's a terrible academic.…
