Tatum Girlparts posted:I know the joke's been said but I legit want nothing more than to hear him saying how sex between a man and woman should be waited for and all and go 'woah buddy can we not talk about sex with women I'm gay' just to hear him explain how suddenly I was making things graphic. You make it sound like he hasn't explored other options  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YTJMSiaG10

MaxxBot posted:The bolded part is basically the conservative version of the American Dream, work your rear end off all day for no reward and never have any fun, unless of course you're one of the all-important "job creators" in which case you can do whatever the gently caress you want. The funny thing is that the people under 30 I know who are really wealthy and successful are all crazy partiers because apparently people like spending their large amounts of disposable income on fun things a shithead posted:We're successful because a lot of steady, responsible people do boring jobs that have to be done. It's the man who works 40 hours in his first job and another 20 hours a week at a part-time job so he can pay the bills for his wife and kids. It's the stay-at-home mom with spit-up on her blouse who has been on her feet for hours cleaning and taking care of the kids. It's the small businessman who worked 70 hours a week for peanuts over the last decade to get his business to the point where he can have people complain that he's not paying enough in taxes. It's the single mother who gives up partying every night to make sure her child is taken care of like he should be. It's the pastor who says something from the pulpit that will be controversial, but that his flock needs to hear. It's the cop who sweats through a half dozen encounters with drunk, drugged, and potentially violent creeps each night because he cares about keeping a neighborhood safe. It's a soldier sleeping in a tent far from home because he's doing his part to keep the peace. It's the couple who feels like they've achieved the American dream because they got married, bought a house, had two kids, and are putting enough money in their 401k to retire someday.

A total cumstain posted:So the Obama administration and its allied activist groups trot out the claim that there is a rape epidemic victimizing 1 in 5 women on college campuses. This conveniently horrifying number is a classic example of being too terrible to check. If it were true, it would mean that rape would be more prevalent on elite campuses than in many of the most impoverished and crime-ridden communities.

Whoops. It was meant to sound like a paraphrase of Torpor's response, I don't actually believe that.  The full saying is the work of a true shithead, presumably the kind of authority figure who doesn't care about bullying under their watch if it doesn't leave physical evidence.In the UK there are currently moves towards criminalising psychological abuse, which is long overdue.

So for clarification, what level of harm do you believe is caused by abuse, coercion or intimidation alone?

rkajdi posted:EDIT: We've also seen piles of homophobia in the nerd community, which has driving a lot of LGBT male nerds into the closet again. I don't doubt that there are some LGBT people part of the whole gamergate harrassment campaign, but I certainly haven't seen one yet. faces of gamergate. He's also gay, and so serves to deflect criticism of the movement for being homophobic. He is also really bad at being a nerd (he's an online entrepreneur who has mocked gamers in the past) and arguably at being gay (he opposes gay marriage). I had a brief productive argument with a gay gater on Twitter in which I pointed out both of these, to his frank concern.

GreyjoyBastard posted:Ice Pick Lodge, The Void. Artsy as gently caress, yet also manages to contain sexualised female characters who are stripped naked to reward player progression That may be a bit unfair to the game though. There's a good video LP of the game on the LP archive if you want to judge for yourself!
