I served with this guy and ever since he retired and moved to Saudi Arabia as a contractor he has fallen into the Infowars hole. Here's today's goody: Greatest part...when the Navy told him he was on the list to go to Iraq, he put in his retirement papers so he wouldn't have to go. He also went to NJP as an E7 (some of you can understand this...those of you who don't just realize that it takes a special kind of guy. The kind of guy who 7 years prior to that married his division officer and yes they got caught.) What I'm trying to say is what a loving hypocrite.

 Then anonymizer did something weird and switched #1 with #8.  Whole posts that got cut off: quote:The clear text is the clear hatred the misogynistic gaming culture has for anything that it does not approve of adopting its aesthetic, out of envy of simple shallowness and a heartfelt need to feel oppressed to be validated as a clique.

Aside from maybe Gears of War all of those are legitimately great games and I want to punch this guy in the face for suggesting otherwise.

Here's something that popped up in my News Ticker over the last hour or so. I don't know Green or Blue, but Orange is one of the resident MRAs on my feed. In short, "feminist dogma" and  . In case anyone is curious as to the videos he posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I6aYl4XDpA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5KSY0wbNGc Also, I couldn't help but notice this pop up in my feed while the argument was going on:  No loving way.

"The 'She was asking for it' argument is a strawman created by feminists" You can basically look on /r/Mensrights for 5 minutes and find 50 or so unironic "She was asking for it" comments.

canyoneer posted:Are there book snobs the same way there are video game snobs who thumb their nose at people who don't complete 3 books a week? There are certainly those who fetishise the medium. You can see if there are any your friends list by posting something like this:  A normal person will either be impressed or not care. A book fetishist will compare it to book-burning. If you know any of these people, if they come to your house, tear a page out of a book you own to write a note on. Even if it's a completely blank page, they'll still regard it as sacrilege. Not calling women whores = paragon of virtue. I had no idea it was so easy. Apparently I've been one all along. Also, I love what today's update to Social Fixer does to the anonymise function:  Great practical joke guys, that newsagent guy won't know what hit him! YouTube sensation, guaranteed!

avoiceformen.com posted:In my opinion their “plight” from being raped should draw about as much sympathy as a man who loses a wallet full of cash after leaving it laying around a bus station unattended. I love how they come at that from entirely the wrong direction. If you accidentally leave your wallet somewhere you would hope that it would be handed in to lost property or the police. Someone losing their wallet doesn't give you the right to take it. No one is asking to have their wallet stolen and if it is then the blame for the crime is entirely on the thief. (And that's before you even get into things like equating rape with minor theft)

I guarantee you that person hasn't even lost a wallet full of cash he left lying around either. It's so easy to blame the victim when you don't know what it's like to be one. It's pretty much textbook narcissism. Rollersnake has a new favorite as of 06:39 on Jul 10, 2013 |

This is exactly what I gathered from this macro. It makes zero sense. I'm a 36 yr. old father of a 12 yr. old. I got the belt as a kid (hell, one time I even got the tennis racket  ). My son doesn't receive that same treatment, yet is somehow not a hoodlum. I think macros like this are this generation's version of "when I was a kid, things were so much better/more difficult".

Does Literary Fiction mean something different from "literature"? I mean, I hang out with English grad students sometimes and they're often reading John Banville or Nabokov or something like that; is that what you mean?

I asked at a book shop a while ago how they decide which books to put in the literary fiction section and which to put in adult fiction. No one there knew. I even saw some books with copies in both.

It's modern fiction that ends up in the "literature" section of Barnes and Nobles. I think that's pretty much it. The actual content could well be full on science fiction, romance, drama, crime, whatever, but the publishers and author have sat down and decided it should be marketed as Literature rather than in any particular genre, so it is.

It is a fun cartoon marketed towards and made for little girls, not at all like Adventure Time. I recommend watching one episode just so you can really appreciate how messed up it is that grown men act like it's totally made for them and not children. (I say this as a grown rear end woman who watches MLP unironically when hungover or sick.)

As a father of small girls, it's a copy paste of "Strawberry Shortcake" the plots and characters are identical. The entire thing is made for very small girls toddler to tween, there are maybe at most 1 to 2 references or jokes per episode that would go over the heads of the intended audience and be considered "for adults". This isn't new it's a formula every single generic cartoon uses as a wink and nod to parents supervising their child while watching their show. Every episode I watched fit the theme of "don't be a selfish jerk" which is a lesson that is important for the under 10 age group. Thankfully, my daughters would rather watch the Scooby Doo reboot, which is full of references to the old cartoon that I enjoy. I think I'll start a Scooby Doo fan group where we fantasize about having sex with a talking gluttonous dog. We'll call ourselves Doobies. We'll walk around wearing ascots, it'll be like a fedora only double classier. Boys have swag, Bronies have class, Doobies have double secret class!

Flaggy posted:My son and I watch Adventure time on lovely and non-lovely days. That show owns. I watched a clip no youtube of MLP, I have no idea how it has such a fanatical fanbase. Someone on 4chan noted that the 'new' MLP had unusually good writing and animation (when the first couple of episodes came out and nobody gave a crap about it yet except hardcore animation fans and 5-year-olds). Those people started posting about it, then some maladjusted manchildren came along and decided it was for them and the whole thing snowballed. It's pretty much like how furry fandom went from some people who like The Secret of NIMH and Disney's Robin Hood to, well, furry fandom. And honestly, even though it was 100% made to sell toys to kids, it is actually a decent cartoon for little girls (and slightly larger little girls  ) to watch. If you're the kind of person who keeps multiple cute animal blogs in their bookmarks (and I do!) it's the ultimate comfort food show. But it's not this epically astounding piece of high art, it's not 'manly' in any way, and no goddammit it wouldn't be improved by gore, angst or male-gazey pony lesbianism. Just leave the cute candy ponies alone, guys. Just leave them alone.

I have the same appreciation for the old Scooby Doo cartoons as I do the old Rugrats stuff. Mainly all of the 90s cartoons. I would still feel weird rewatching them more than once an episode a year to see how it is holding up.
