I am not a lawyer, but I think that it's because Bobby commented linking to a tweet, and so isn't technically posting the image?

It's worth reading accounts from people who have worked there - the quasi-legal firing range in the building and some of their personal practices around shoots have been called out as concerning, even though the institutional standard for the shoots is good.

It’s a pretty baffling defence - “i can’t have raped anyone because I have no idea what rape is and no possible hope of avoiding it in my own sexual practice”.

It’s actually a nervous attempt to grapple with a complex psychological disquiet brought about by the erosion of hegemonic social standards - in the absence of clear social roles,people are constantly afraid they’re doing something wrong. Of course it was different for your parents, that’s like the whole point of…

Except remarks like that are objected to because they are harmful, and the medium of that harm is the myriad people who read it without educational privilege and nuance and with innate biases eg against women.

I guess there’s also the small possibility that you could reveal who is on the no fly list to gun shop owners, because they can tell who can’t own guns?

... “please kill responsibly”?

Can we not infantilise a dude who is over legal age in the majority of US states?

One reason might be that the effects are totally different because the social positions and power relationships are totally different and are the mechanism by which sexualisation is harmful?

Except war video games very definitely do have effects on recruiting.

America’s Army is the most effective recruiting tool the US has according to MIT.

You’re wrong.

This is called “confirmation bias”. You remember the incidents that fit your implicit attitude - that women are whiny and unlikeable - and forget all the incidents of male researchers and male writers describing, analysing, and criticising video games for these effects (eg Jack freakin’ Thompson).

Cute idea. Which would explain why Top Gun spiked Navy recruitment 400% and America’s Army is the single most effective recruiting tool ever according to MIT researchers.

Did you decide not to mention the criticism of the film as transphobic, or were you unaware of it?

Name one of the Muslim leaders and describe the nature of his authority over Islam as a whole, please, Mr political analyst?

The idea is that she knows it, Warren Beatty knows it, but if he admits he thinks that, even to himself, she proves his point.

Yes. This is about socially significant words, or words that have taken on interesting new meanings.

This is a psychological distancing tactic. People often speak about a group as if they’re not part of it in order to avoid addressing issues they have with themselves. “hey, at least I am not as bad as them” lets you obscure and minimise your identity with “them” by focusing on what makes you different (that you…

Doesn’t this just, like theoretically, make it an accurate portrayal of the police? I don’t know if I agree that the good people in a story have to have good ends and the bad ones bad ends - it’s possible to make points about justice without sending all your criminal characters to jail, I think?
