Well, I come down on the side of racism=inherent power and privilege. That absolutely doesn't absolve anyone from screaming at or attacking someone who is white. I just wouldn't call it racism. But I think you're debating in good faith. I just think that words do have weight to them, a lot of weight. To me (and many…

Not that we need to re-hash the Martin/Zimmerman case again. But in both cases, you have confrontations being initiated by non-blacks against young black males who were,. at the times of the confrontations, doing nothing other than being teenage kids. Had the killers simply honored the kids individual rights to walk…

Uh I'm white and lots of white people really, really suck. It's not "white people" it's the culture of white privilege. Blaming the white people is shorthand for that. I'm fine with it. I know myself, I know I'm a good person and I strive to be an ally and learn about intersectionalism and re-examine my beliefs, so…

I'm not going to lie: I just broke out laughing when the video shows SPIDERS in big letters while the narrator's talking about an undead army.

"During your journey, you will meet FIVE different companions... ONE health bar and ONE mana bar, THREE screens to access your inventory, skills, and quest logs, FOUR different settings screens, a MAP in the bottom left corner, FOUR bindable D-pad slots, ONE crouch stance..."

Oh thank Christ, sometimes I feel I'm the only one who thinks FFX is terrible and a prototype for the hallway simulator FFXIII became.

No. No, please, NO. IX is my favorite game of all time. If Squaresoft was behind a sequel, then great. But current Square? They would ruin it in every imaginable way.

Lost me when you tried to pass off a white guy referencing a racial slur as a double standard to the word cracker. No. You are the weakest link goodbye.

This is also the oldest argument in the book for keeping women and other underrepresented groups on the outside. Sexual assault in the military: "Well, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen" instead of "Wow, let's examine the way we teach young people to hear the word no and respond appropriately," (for…

Yes, yes you just excused what he said. Even tho you said you werent.

I'm going to jump in here and comment on this. I'm always fascinated by this type of response to situations like this. It's always "Well, this just what goes on," or "You have to understand, this is what it's like." I don't think there's a question of people not understanding that this is what goes on and this is…

This. I was trying to see how she tied the bow on her hakama.

Do you honestly not see the difference between a singular human being being the center of a hate storm and the practices of a business being hated?

the Internet can be a cruel world. people have lost all civility because now that they're anonymous, you can spew garbage and not get the repercussions of it.
