Yeah, without getting all sperg about it 24's political leaning was more "paranoia" than "neocon". Later seasons actually dealt with the cost of torture with some degree of depth.

I remember hearing a while ago that some GG guys were begging John Oliver to cover their crusade. So Twitter's going to be hilarious over the next 24 hours and possibly a few days beyond that.

Regardless of what you think of Sarkeesian, threatening her over her opinions is a problem. Which is all they said. I actually don't get the 3/5th joke (I'm Canadian and I've never heard the reference before), little help?DivisionPost posted:I remember hearing a while ago that some GG guys were begging John Oliver to cover their crusade.

If it's the kind of 3/5ths joke I'm thinking of, it's a reference to the fact that slaves were considered 3/5ths of a person back in the day.

I actually don't get the 3/5th joke (I'm Canadian and I've never heard the reference before), little help? In the unmodified Constitution, there was a section that counted slaves as 3/5ths of a person in regards to counting population to determine the number of Represenatives a state had in the House. This allowed slaveholding states to boost their influnce in the House based on the presence of a population that weren't allowed the rights of citizens and whose interests the state did not care for.

If someone on John Oliver's writing staff is responsible for the Rickroll they should fire that person. If it's John Oliver responsible for it he should not do that again. Decent episode otherwise.

Choosing Brianna Wu for their segment was maybe not the best idea since she is legit crazy. And while I personally think Anita Sarkeesian is a huckster it was good show regardless.

Yeah, the segment wasn't about the victims' opinions, it was about the extreme response they get for daring to publicly have opinions and how women are disproportionately attacked and vilified online. GG people getting angry at that segment are angry that their primary tactics are being talked about.

I'm not getting into the stupid rear end internet drama that is gamergate, but I think you have to look in the mirror pretty hard if your response to someone being pretty severely harrased involves leading with "Well that may be true but"
