The difference (to me) is mostly a matter of scale. I was dating a woman who mostly wrote poetry and short stories, so I ended up fictionalized in a play that may never have been publicly performed. (We broke up before it got that far, so I don't know.)

She's using her job as a writer to write about her life. That's not unethical, that's her job.

I'd say "most of it." I've been a gamer a very long time, and most of the responses here look like textbook gamer misogyny to me. "Ugly." "Bitch." "Cunt." "Ugly." These aren't words used by people showing principled outrage; these are the words used by men with built-up resentments about women. There are a lot of

I agree with you completely. Magic players are complete weirdos.

But they still don't screen for convicted murderers, right? I'm asking for "a friend."

Foursquare also has some not-as-well-written "tips" about the store.

You forgot:

Or she's just as batshit crazy as her mom and thinks she can pray somebody else's DNA into her womb. Really, you never know with this family!

"Your honor, the state will present evidence and testimony proving that the she... HASHTAGGED HIM TO DEATH."

No, it's to teach parents what abusive behavior looks like, so they don't dismiss the real thing as normal "kid stuff."

On the other hand, if we pretended it was 1957 and this story was a black person trying to eat in the "wrong" restaurant, nobody would be surprised.

That's, like, a one-in-a-million chance. You're more likely to be stalked by somebody you know in the real world. Do you refuse to tell people your name in the real world?

I have walked around housing projects holding a bunch of money in my hands, and not been instantly killed. Shocking, I know.

Who the hell would make up a name like "Michael Bauser?"

...and when the DVD doesn't sell on its own, they'll probably pump up the sales by making the "free gift" with right-wing magazine subscriptions and convincing clueless Tea Party groups use them as fundraising gifts.

Yeah, well that's just because short women are farther away from the sun than tall women.

Well, that was a stupid thing for you to say.

I'm so old-fashioned that I don't even google the women I date. I'd rather they tell me their stories on their own schedule.

Thank goodness this is a "Teen Mom" recap! When I saw the "When Child Protective Services Comes A-Knockin" in the sidebar, my first thought was "that's the weirdest topic for 'Social Mindfield' ever!"

I've been looking at comic and fantasy art since I learned to read, back in the early 1970s. It wasn't this bad back then.
