Ever tried running without a good sports bra and boobs? Yea it might make the ligaments stronger but at what cost, that shit hurts dood.

I assume she probably you know, discussed it with her team and came to this decision, if members of her team wants to attend as a participant, I'm sure she's not going to stop them.

I fucking hate how everyone's a photoshop expert now. It's like anytime they need an excuse for anything "it's shopped."

Whether or not critics "prove their case" is up to the person looking at the information, and a whole lot of criticism aimed at Sarkeesian, is in fact also misogynist. It really is, it'd be obtuse not to admit so. While I'm sure there's been inaccuracies in her presentations, and I'm sure I probably don't agree with…

Um, no. Intellectual dishonesty of bad criticism? You do know what criticism is right? It's an opinion. You can't stop a person from having an opinion, you have opinions obviously, and while I disagree strenuously with what you say, I'm not about to try and stop you from saying it. We're not talking about analytic…

England has a no ransom policy also, so screwed even if you're British.

I mean, how well do you expect girls in school to take situation, it was par for the course. And most of them weren't even mean, just flight reflex and all that jazz.

No, media doesn't have to represent everyone, this is true, but maybe just once try and empathize with those who ask for representation. There are male and female players who actually like to use female avatars and playable characters. They exist, they're entitled to love Final Fantasy, they're entitled to feel…

Yea, I'm gonna have to disagree on this one, this was a truly worrisome event and has set some disgusting precedents... It's not even about the movie and whether or not it's shit.

Lol, well for that time period and mindset, from all accounts they were being treated better. I mean, not by a longshot for our modern mindset, but again, context.

I mean, there isn't much evidence either way so it's mostly just perception anyways. She did in fact, ban rape in her code of ethics, forced marriages not withstanding (which was already the norm at the time and considered ethical at the time.) There's other research that states female captives were let go as a…

Context is pretty important, women in that time period in China generally had no choice who to marry, whether sold to a pirate or not, generally speaking arranged marriages were the norm anyways, oftentimes families selling younger daughters to rich men with dozens of wives. Doesn't make it any less gross according to…

From what I understand, female captives were let go generally, the prettiest ones forced into marriages with pirates. The bit about the hold is about consensual sex, if a pirate was discovered having consensual sex with a captive (without permission of general) he was beheaded, and the woman would have cannonballs…

Rule of thumb is, speak for yourself, not others. You might not care, others kinda do. People don't get the same thing out of games.

The changes I want to see on a small scale in the game industry is the acceptance of criticism over problematic games and education on why certain things are problematic. And literally nothing about what I said was ever in line of "we have it terrible." So, don't really see your point, just see a smokescreen of…

We can go back and forth forever about what privileges each gender has, that's not productive, all people can seek to do is to is to improve what they can, and speak out against violations of anyone, male or female. There has been larger activism for feminism (as well as for racism) because women have traditionally…

In my opinion, focusing on one area of crime, doesn't seek to undermine or relatively reflect on other areas, does that make sense? I'm not saying, women and men have to have the same murder rate or abuse rate to signal complete equality, I'm saying that we as feminists want to work toward curtailing a significant…

1.) I think you're going to extremes to rationalize feminism=inequality, feminism is not the erasure of violence against women, that is blatantly, and obviously, not possible. And rational person will come to this conclusion. Abuse against men is blatantly not right and we should work to minimize abuse and crime…

Honestly, awful things happen to people all the time, no matter the race, gender, or religion, this is completely true. Comparing who has what worse, is the least productive way to discuss these things. Acknowledging the hardships different subsets of people face is in no way, minimalizing other hardships faced by…

I honestly don't think it has anything to do with fame, and all to do with dying. I can see how her chosen day has come, and she can't quite let go yet, which is completely understandable.
