Yep as someone who prefers glasses to contacts, wears no make-up or jewelry and owns like three pairs of shoes that aren't flip flops (and those are for work) and one purse that shit doesn't really work on me. "Oh I'm sorry are you suggesting my appearance isn't up to your standards? What makes you think I put myself…

Real apologies happen so rarely, it's like I've forgotten how to accept them.

Yo, guy who clearly never has to worry about this: if you are a young woman and you go out in a city, you will have to deal with this bullshit. You're correct in your assessment of the men reading the PUA stuff, but it's not like they're ALWAYS hiding on the internet. Sometimes (often) they're in your face at a bar,…

It's almost as if there's something more to games than their graphics. What could that be?

LISTEN TO PENNY ARCADE, NINTENDO!

That stuff is amazing. A dermatologist once recommended it for a case of body acne that came from running and then not changing out of sweaty clothes fast enough. Quick rinses with that stuff after workouts on the affected areas cleaned it right up.

My reaction to anything Sony has been saying so far.

my comment posted three times but seriously thank you. the context of all of this is crucial. "why are you getting so mad? it was just a one-off line that MIGHT allude to rape." no, it's not just ONE joke or ONE comment. it's decades of consistent microaggression, snide comments, nasty assumptions, gross violations of…

Really guys?! REALLY?!

As a male comedian, I'm still reeling from the the fact that it is apparently possible to handle a heckler without making rape jokes.

I love this! If I don't pay pretty close attention to my diet I gain weight like mad and it's frustrating to try and suss out how many calories are in the half bottle of gin I just drank.

Exactly. That's why it's obnoxious. As someone who only owns a 360 from the current gen, this is one of the (but far from the only) reasons I won't be buying an XboxOne. I don't respond well to blatant anti-consumer behavior/moneygrabs, and I feel pretty confident taking my business elsewhere.

I'm sorry for your loss. Hugs.

The Xbox One has awesome new rumbling triggers, which can offer feedback. Nick Robinson over at Unwinnable has some issues with this: it's now possible for the triggers to resemble, you know, real triggers. It's a resemblance that makes him feel uncomfortable, but beyond that: what happens when we can't say pulling a…

Agreed, it seems Microsoft are trying to offer a solution to a non existent problem.

"because it means people who have actual reason to be pissed at them have an additional hurdle to jump in order to be heard"

Those are insanely excellent points that I never thought of before.

It is certainly a class/power issue. In a comment upstream, someone has said:

As someone who works at a real company with a real HR department, I' m shocked and saddened by how many people just don't understand this.

Joke's on her! That's a male power fantasy!
