he majority of people who actively dislike people like Wu, Sarkeesian, etc., don't do so because "they don't want other people playing their games," but because of the intellectual dishonesty that stems from bad criticism.

Of course the cops were fucking useless. But that's an example of "good policing" right there. Those assholes don't do shit.

The fact that authorities are not handling Wu's calls for help are not surprising. As always, the good in the world has yet to catch up with the bad. Authorities still barely know how to handle online threats or issues and most of it is largely unregulated or barely enforced.

Then it shouldn't be showing up in this story at all. If there was absolutely no correlation at all, why would he make a metaphor related to killing people using a video game? Obviously it has some pull on this guy and others — see the Santa Monica school shooter. Just because it is not a one-to-one correlation…

he actual authorities have determined that he is not a credible threat.

Like I said somewhere else, you're making Jace Connors out to be Travis Bickle from "Taxi Driver" when in reality he's more like Mac from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".

A katana is a weapon and can kill people. And actually, people have been killed for having one.

He's being disingenuous. If this was a "scary" black guy with guns and knives threatening his mother, he would not write it off as just a "joke."

Neglect laws are only to fuck with poor and working class people, though.

I have two stories:

It's not "vicious" criticism. It's people detailing exactly what she is doing appropriating not only the music of black people but the vocal mannerisms of black people to market to white people. It's audio blackface and the 21st century ministrel show.

I disagree. She's racist and people should tell and write about it constantly. She's appropriating black music as well. People should write and tell about what is going on constantly. I don't care if it gives her attention, because that is not the goal. The goal is to make sure that everyone knows what she is doing…

I agree with you on everything except for the last line. I think the solution is to stop it with the lionization of middle class women who CHOOSE to do sex work. There are many women, the vast majority of them, who would kill to have the economic options that these women have. Shit, I'd like a degree from Duke and the…

Yeah, this is the bullshit I hate when this site writes about sex work. They put this middle-class sheen over it and it's all "sex work is a personal choice" bullshit. No, there are people — the vast majority of which — who are doing sex work because it is the only economic option for them or they are being abused in…

I'm not saying it's great for porn actresses/sex workers in Europe, but where I come from it's not probably going to ruin your life.

So, one of the things I've noticed in the past decade is middle-class women going into sex work and then promptly dismissing the actual trauma and abuse and exploitation suffered by the vast majority of sex workers. Awhile back on this site, there was a sex worker who wrote a guest column that illustrated all of this…

Why is Crystal Skull considered the worst Indy movie? In all of the movies, he's looking for religious trinkets that — gasp — turn out to have actual magical powers. I think the worst one was the Last Crusade. You know what I don't want in my swashbuckling action movies — the hero's dad getting his dick sucked by Nazi…

Not strange when you consider that he really just wants to silence her because she said something he didn't like. Maybe he's a Ray Rice fan and thinks Janay had a "hand" in getting knocked out, or he's one of these "cop lives matter too" assholes. Either way, he's scum.

The law that they want to make, will read simply, "No abortions for white women; forced sterilization for non-whites to be decided by the nearest white man."

They better not do Leslie Jones what they did to Ernie Hudson, i.e., have him not come in until halfway into the first movie and only have a few lines or have him disappear almost completely from the second movie.
