What you are describing is coined as "slacktivism".

The way I described things in an earlier tumblr post I'd made was that I felt as though people wanted to feel they'd done something without actually doing anything meaningful. In that particular case, I was talking about how redefining "gamer" to include casual gamers and smugly claiming that women were over 50% of…

I guess. It just seems weird to me, like... if you want Sarkeesian gone, great. So do I, 'cause she's bad at what she does and it makes it harder to talk about feminism in games without people rolling their eyes. She delegitimizes feminism by fucking up, just as he delegitimizes her dissenters by being a fuckin'…

Why couldn't he approach his topic more like this? Rule #1 in toppling someone is that you've got to convince other people you're right. You don't do that by being a horrible person, you do that by intelligently dismantling everything they have to say.

I believe that is from Metalocalypse.

Hey, if this happened in Texas, he'd've been shot dead because the officers felt threatened.

The report I read quoted him as saying "Don't shoot. I'm white". This is the last time I get my news from infowars.com

if i paid for it YES THE FUCK I AM. But since nobody knows yet we'll just wait it out.

Parents became suspicious of Sandau's views when he started awarding gold stars to the team's worst, least coordinated players.

Best 3D maybe. My favorite is still ALttP.

I'd say roughly somewhere between "fear" and boobs.

I just read the first Foundation book yesterday for the first time. This is exactly what I thought.

This deserves more attention. Asimov would be proud.

ALL THE STARS

Give Cap 2 a go, I really liked it. It's probably my second favourite after Guardians. You can bunk Thor 2 though, that's probably the worst of the lot.

I've read that they're changing the cinematography or the grade in Avengers 2 so it looks more 'filmic', which certainly seems to be noticeable in the trailer. I agree that all the other films have a kind of sheen to them that immediately mark them out as Marvel films. It doesn't bother me as such, and as others have…

someone mentioned there's a "safe" feeling to MCU, and yeah, if that's part of the Disney sheen, i've probably noticed it as well. but i see it more as just a way to for the execs to make the movie more easily acceptable to a wider global audience, especially towards those who don't know much, and those who don't…

i can understand your feeling, but i'd like to disagree. the qualities of MCU movies is that i can see them as Marvel movies and i can see them as independent movies of various genres, and they can be matched to good movies of those genres, regardless of the names of the lead characters. Winter Soldier is a good…

Same here. I still haven't seen Cap 2 or Thor 2... it's just hard to summon the same level of excitement for sequel after sequel. I'll still see them on blu ray eventually but I never felt compelled to go out of my way to watch them. It'll probably be even harder in 2018 to get excited.

I do know what you mean. I liked GotG precisely because it felt different; that's the same reason why I'm looking forward to Ant-Man. But I skipped Captain America 2, Iron Man 3 and Thor 2, and I'll probably cherry-pick which movies are appealing to me rather than attempt to be some sort of completist.
