Oh, I know it’s not. It’s just that I can’t stand idiots pushing an argument solely on information they know is false. So I brought up an example that’s true: two shitlords profited off of their harassment of Sarkeesian. And they’re not the first, nor the last to do so.

This guide is for anyone who fears they might be targeted, or who is already under attack, for speaking their mind online, but is especially designed for women, people of color, trans and genderqueer people, and everyone else whose existing oppressions are made worse by digital violence.

Good points all around. Just to add. Censorship is when a third party removes or prohibits something from being shown to the intended audience. For example, when a government removes a book from libraries, or mandates certain material can not be shown. When the creator removes something that is called creative…

Say what you will about her criticism; Sarkeesian has dealt with some serious shit from the internet’s loudest assholes. If you’re looking for advice, she knows what she’s talking about when it comes to dealing with harassment.

Also, do you realize you quoted the part where it literally said “anyone” and “everyone” and then complained your group wasn’t included.

Do you know for a fact they are left out entirely? That the strategies discussed in the book don’t apply to them?

“Why doesn’t this book about avoiding racial violence have a chapter of tips for the Klan?!?”

Honestly, it’s crazy how outraged people get when anything gets associated with her name. People would find a way to hate The Anita Sarkeesian Orphanage for Tiny Sick Kittens with the Cutest Little Kitty Sneezes.

I think no matter your opinion on Anita Sarkeesian is that this is still going a useful resource for people to use if they are terrified of online harassment.

Omg dude, so much this. I remember when Jez first reported on his comments a week or so ago there were all these people howling about how he had “Erased women from the fandom.” I mean for fuck sakes. I’ll say it again: I always thought it was clear that he was acknowledging that the franchise hadn’t done much to…

Yes. The demand of perfection that a lot of modern progressives have is getting tiring. That used to be the domain of conservatives and more nuanced, sophisticated thought for us liberals. Not so anymore.

I wish there were more room in the modern media world for a bit more easy generosity between folks. It’s wearying to always be demanding apologies, you know? People goof. They say stupid shit. They get tired. And it sometimes feels like we’re all just waiting for someone to piss us off so we can purge some hateful…

I didn’t really watch it until I was in my 20s and Episodes 1-3 were coming out. I get its cultural significance but because I didn’t see it as a kid, I don’t think I’ll ever have the same emotional/nostalgic connection to it. There are a lot of aspects of SW fandom I just don’t get, and I think it’s because I don’t…

Oh, boo. You’re wrong. You can get amazing pizza in Britain if you venture away from Pizza Hut or Dominos etc, just like everywhere else in the world. You can also get shitty pizza in Italy. I had an incredible pizza that came close to some I’ve had in Italy just this weekend in Manchester.

Given that it’s 99% certain that you’re American, this is fucking hilarious and not for the reasons you thought.

“the British understanding of pizza is problematic”

We don’t actually boil it, or cut the crusts off, or dunk it in cups of tea.

Those are myths. Mean ones.

I respect whatever ND is doing here and that they selected what they thought was the most appropriate talent. I just also wish, bigger picture, that more people of color got paying opportunities in a field they’re not always super visible in, even in times when a role might suit them.

Or they could just offer us the ps2 classics we already paid for on ps3.

Obligatory 1st screen speculation

Pot shots? I have never shot at a mannequin. Am I the only one who activates VATS just to see if there are enemies nearby first BEFORE I shoot? It’s also handy for spotting mines and traps before you are near them.
