I've definitely seen people politely asking for male rape resources (or even just gender-neutral terms) get shouted down and/or dismissed as MRAs, so it goes both ways.

Yes, I get that. However, that [X] group is a tiny minority of victims should not be an excuse to wall them out of the dialog.

Yup, with you here. Let's not forget "male rape victims" means trans men and male children, and using neutral language would feel welcoming to those who don't feel comfortable within the gender binary.

I think your interpretation of me taking it seriously is a little overblown LOL. But whatever floats your boat, grouchypants, hahaha.

Yeah, I get that. But I also think you were taking the initial comparison to painted still lifes a liiiiittle too seriously.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. I think these are lovely little shots that are more telling of an individual's tastes and personality than any selfie. I'm an artist myself and I have long given up the fight of "this is/isn't art" - it means something to the people who are taking the time to lovingly arrange…

As an artist, I plan to tell my kids "mechanical engineering all the way."

Yeah. This kind of merch is really common from Disney. I think the need for Frozen-related stories is making the Jez writers go a bit loopy.

Ha! Are we secretly related or something? I bought mine at around the same time, with money from my first job, and got a very similar price. Knowing it COULD be sold for as much or more feels good, but like hell I'd ever do it.

Breath of Fire II will forever be one of my favorite games for all these reasons listed. It's a strangely involving game, for all its simplicity. The characters and setting are so colorful and charming... but the purely sinister baddies are some of the best I have ever encountered in a game. They really send shivers…

The case: Suikoden II... a mixture of 2D classics and 3D experiments... the monumental success of Final Fantasy VII... Quest 64... getting to laugh at Quest 64... Xenogears... Final Fantasy Tactics... the list goes on...

God, I was thinking the same thing. And this woman is 25! What kind of sheltered life has she lived?

Also lololol labeling a sexuality as CREATING A BIG DRAMA lolololol OH YOU.

It's not "a homosexual thing" it's "a young person thing." Kids (and I mean up to like, mid twenties here) always go through these phases of labeling themselves. Just look at high school cliques. It carries into college, too. Young people insecure in their identities, regardless of sexuality or gender ID, need to…

You enjoy getting oral. Enjoying receiving oral is great info for potential sexual partners. It's not great info for the world at large. To me, specific bedroom desires aren't things I would consider a part of my expressed identity unless I am in a sexual space (a hookup site, a dating site, a sex party, whatever). It…

I agree. Pillow Princess and Carebear make me feel like the idea of labels is being mocked, not respected. And this: "labels are useful for expressing aspects of one's identity" - I always figured the best way to express your identity was to, you know. Express it. Adding twee little titles to your identity doesn't…

I think I would contest this because there are people who like wearing them, and there are South Asians who enjoy seeing outsiders wear them - the people who are offended by it suddenly take priority over those who feel no offense or in fact like seeing it, which unfairly paints the offended parties as more important…

Dreadlocks exist outside of the Rastafarian religion, though. Unless they are also playing at the religion's beliefs, there isn't a problem with them locking their hair. I also don't really see a genuine issue with people wearing bindis. So, eh.

I "own" DOTA2, despite never downloading it. When I installed steam on my new computer, after years of not even looking at it, I suddenly had DOTA 2. I wonder how many other people are in the same boat?

Again, custody should not be awarded based upon gender. So even if "women are usually the primary caretakers" that does not mean it should be assumed every woman with children has an edge on caring for children over her husband. It is unfair to the husband and the children. "What's best for the children" is not "what…
