You mean like you're being a douche right now to a complete stranger and assuming you know me or my motivation for asking what I did? Hello Pot, my name is Kettle. I see we're both black.

As a long time reader, who mostly enjoys this site and the associated sites, I can say that I've found the level of vitriol in the comments section here toward an attempt at a civil question and discussion to be quite off-putting. My feelings are not hurt. I'm not upset. I'm just disappointed to see that people who…

If you want people to take you seriously, you need to grow up first.

LETS ALL GET MAD AND START SHOUTING AT EACHOTHER!

No, I just don't have any interest in participating in discussions that are going to devolve into screaming and shouting. But hey, that's a solid attempt at some reverse-sexism there. Well done.

Nope, it sure wouldn't. I have a wife. I am very clear on how women are treated versus men online.

Congrats on going from a rational discussion to shouting and hyperbole. I'm not going to waste my time talking to you any further. Good day. :)

Also, just for the record, the article you linked had to do with a real life, in person encounter. Not a text message. It's not exactly comparing apples to apples.

I think you're entirely missing the point of what I said. I'm suggesting that strength comes from within, and having the courage to declare your intentions is something I respect in both sexes. The "refuse to respond to text" move is one that is performed by both sexes, in a variety of situations, and it's almost…

I guess I would agree, but I don't think the whole "refuse to respond negatively" thing is just something women do. Men do it, too. I just think it's rude not to be honest about your intentions. Just be honest. If you're not into someone, tell them so. Hiding from them just makes you look weak. If your goal is…

I'm just gonna say this.. there's a chance these guys are being a bit over-sensitive, but why is it okay to be a coward or lie about your intentions to people in this day and age? Why are women so afraid to say "no" and instead lie to get out of a situation as quickly as possible? When did honesty become something…

So you're basically encouraging people to exploit a flaw in the game for their benefit. You're suggesting that people should cheat to win. Nice work, jackass.

Oh yay! More Kotaku articles where the subject is hating on Michael Bay! Because we haven't already had like 40 of those articles in the past year already, right?

Seriously, this is pretty fucking sad that you guys can't let your butt-hurt go. Find something else to fucking talk about.

Oh, you'll still get canned. Quietly, long after this whole mess is forgotten, people will be fired.

Social media is now garbage.

Less QQ, more pew-pew.

So much butthurt and armchair quarterbacking. This was a good movie. It was a TMNT movie. That's all. Everyone crying about it is just crying about it because it's cool and hip to hate Michael Bay things right now. That's it.

I'm just curious.. if this were a guy drawing pictures of tits, would Jezebel be as enthusiastic about it, or would they be pissed off?

As a man, to all women, feel free to objectify me any time.
