4/38 for a perfectly adequate back-up guard is about par for the course. He makes less than 10 million a year. Of all the contracts to pick that’s not a great example. It’s not even close to being the worst ex-Cav deal from last summer! That would be Mozgov’s 4/64.

I’m not sure why this is being treated with skepticism. If he wanted Fultz...he would have taken Fultz. He didn’t, so he traded down. What’s so hard to understand?

That was pretty ridiculous, but Mae Young did give birth to a hand.

Zack deleted this one but my god

...with that logic, Kershaw’s next paycheck shouldn’t mean all that much to him, right?

“eminent domain proceedings.”

No, it was targeting a very narrow definition of “gamer,” something that a lot of people failed to notice.

Being a “real gamer” is so integral to their identity that they’ll make up the weirdest arguments to dismiss anyone who isn’t a carbon copy of them. It’s a No True Scotsman if I’ve ever seen one.

One guy was like ‘NO ONE EVER ARGUED THAT JRPGS DON’T EXIST’ when what I was pointing out was how JRPGs unquestionably have a huge and very visible fanbase of women but when people talk about ‘Gamers’ somehow all the JRPG fans are entirely ignored. Usually with the conversation going to ‘Caaaaasual games’ cause, I…

In Kirk’s defense, in his example the girl did do something to indicate she played games. She joined an existing conversation that was about games. I’ll readily admit to having poor social skills, but I would still say it’s safe to assume that somebody joining a conversation about any particular topic probably has…

“The gaming industry should not have ideological tests.”

That’s what free speech is. 75 years ago no one would care if you publicly took the (then perfectly acceptable) opinion that interracial marriage should be illegal. Now, you would rightly be pilloried for it. The same is finally happening with gay marriage. It’s the marketplace of ideas. If your opinion is so…

All the bigots say that they aren’t one. But gamergate was misogynistic as fuck. And this dude straight up admitted that some of his past shit was harmful and apologized. And you’re sitting here dismissing it as “diversity of political thought.” You also seem pretty preemptively guilty about some of your own posts. I…

You people, you fucking people, killed this industry.

Not every movement promoting diversity may be effective in bringing it about, but there are two major problems with this allegation:

Man, isn’t it terrible when your choices have consequences? If only you could post on redpill and incel and coontown and fatpeoplehate and not have anybody ever call you out on it!

What are you talking about? People are “killing this industry” because of this? This is some needlessly dramatic drivel. If your dream is to create storytelling content, then you’ve elected a life where your dream is “challenged” by everyone. That’s the very nature of story and narrative. If you tell a story people…

Yes, it would be terrible if you did something public that displayed bigotry, racism, misogyny, etc. and people both remembered and called you on it. Man, who awful to be reminded that you’re awful! OH CRUEL WORLD!

Have you tried not being a bigot?

So you have beliefs even you find problematic? Maybe sit back and question some of those problematic beliefs and think about them.
