We ALL know that if Jezebel.com is taken over, it will actually be taken over by Sexy Carp Babes

Welcome back, Fahey. I’m absolutely certain my usual bloviations wouldn’t do what I want to say justice, so I’ll just say this:

You’ve been missed, sincerely, the entire time you’ve been away, and this community did not feel whole without you. You’re a goddamned boss for clawing your way back from what you suffered,…

Hooray! Best of luck with your continued recovery, Fahey!

I grew up on a farm and chickens are disgusting   I cannot even eat them. They are loud and stinky and mean. Also, roosters are terrible.  People think it’s so pastoral- a rooster crowing once to welcome the sun! Fuck that.  These roosters would hang out in my window and crow every ten minutes starting at 5 am.  My…

Gunn addressed the jokes a while ago though, apologized, deleted the jokes, and didn’t make more.

Royals not being involved in partisan politics isn’t a dumb tradition at all.

It’s not really a dumb tradition. I certainly agree with her (and even if not this is such a mild thing), but it would be pretty fucked up for the Monarchy to start actually getting involved in government.

You don’t like soccer? Cool. But, it really takes a special kind of arrogance to think that the billions of fans of the world’s most popular sport are missing something that you’re able to identify despite not watching the game.  Thanks for sharing your insight.

I doubt your co-worker thought much of your comment.  Your co-worker has accepted that you are a boring asshole who criticizes matters of subjective, aesthetic appeal like a soccer game. You were likely just ignored. 

My wife and others always make fun of me but I refuse to kill spiders because they are good luck and trap unwanted flying pests in their webs. Whenever my wife finds a spider, she flails around the house in horror as I delicately trap it in a paper towel to escort it outside.

This news on conscious gender inclusion is great, but that topic could have stood on its own. Instead the author goes totally out of her depth on Spanish politics and government and looks every bit the clueless NYC 20-something writing thinkpieces on subjects she knows nothing about.

Hell, the Equal Rights Amendment still hasn’t been ratified in the US. Women still do not have constitutional equality. There are so many problems in this world, and it can take decade/centuries to fix them.

A grassroots feminist and progressive campaign completely changed public opinion, forced politicians into a position where the only option was to support it, and overthrew the Catholic Church. Yeh, pretty proud of that. I might even buy my friends and family who were involved in organising some chocolate medals now…

I imagine your country is absolutely perfect, yeah? And whenever your country has succeeded in overturning an unjust law, you celebrate by dire reflection on your failures because that’s helpful and motivating.

So proud of my Irish family & friends who voted & #RepealedThe8th. (Though at least two cousins did vote NO...)

funny thing is some of these games getting banned arnt erotic, but have a couple nude scenes. it is actually been determined that some of these games are much less explicit than the witcher’s sex scenes to a startling degree. heck some of the ones getting banned dont have any nudity whatsoever. just slightly riske…

The one dev literally says you see bare breasts after many hours of gameplay, and no genital engagement. How is that more porn than The Witcher 3?

I think the Witcher III is a pretty definitive test-case for this scenario. There’s definitely an anti-anime stigma attached here.

Folks over at LupieSoft made a interesting point (I read in a techraptor article), that they believe if they made the exact same game with 3D realistic art style, no one would mind.

Can’t say I disagree personally.
