its actually a good thread for keeping up with current Israeli politics and the situation within the West Bank & Gaza, esp. because there's a number of hebrew speaking goons in there translating stuff

it would be better if D&D mods were less terrified of getting involved with removing pointless looping bad faith arguments though

4chan has made it impossible for anyone to reasonably discuss what a lovely person zoe is by making GBS threads their pants over "false flag operations" and "corruption of games journalism." Shes a rapist by her own definition of a rapist not the actual definition of a rapist. That makes her a hypocrite, not a rapist. The sad fact is that a bunch of nerds decided to throw a massive temper tantrum and generally be misogynist pricks which has turned this into a huge shitstorm that's overshadowed what should have been people saying "drat zoe is kind of a horrible person" and moving on.

you don't see any irony in how SJW people define rape to include all kinds of things, and in people pointing out that, by her own definition, SJW zoe quinn has been raping her boyfriend for large spans of time

like, you fail to understand how the former might lead to the latter

its really cool that i am dismissed as being a feminist shill irl where i live for thinking husbands should not be allowed to shoot their wives for cheating on them and rather take it to divorce courts, and then again being dismissed for being a creepy, crazy misogynist on the internet by people who literally think video games are the final boss of feminism, and that literally all patriarchy ever will end once a rather tiny group of people who are terminally depressed get their escapism taken away from them

lol on a nigga, this is why i abandoned SJW poo poo months ago.

white people, not even once.

That's what really gets me, I've done a lot in the literal real world. Like gone to several demonstrations, made posters, marched, chanted, actually worked with a cause. I've changed friends views on similar subjects, it's something I'll talk about or bring up when someone says something dumb or tries to spread misinformation. But I absolutely, positively, hate the internet scene for this kind of thing. It's like everyone involved only cares about the image of whether or not they can call the people they disagree with bigots, but doesn't give two shits if any tangible progress is made. That's why you hear bullshit all the time about it not being their job to teach people or how it's a "tone argument" to call them out on being dicks when they're trying to prove a point. They don't want to convince anyone, they don't want to change anything, all they want is to pat themselves on the back and feel superior to the people they disagree with.

Derailing and suppression of sexism-related discussion

We’ve previously had a serious problem with female gamers being made to feel unwelcome on the forum by systematic derailment and suppression of discussions of sexism. As a result we have identified a number of behaviours that we will infract.

These include:

- Threadjacking discussion from the female to the male experience of an issue
- Denying the experiences of female posters
- Demanding to be educated on the subject
- Concern trolling (such as "But I'm concerned discussion of sexism will drown out discussion of the good things about $GAME")
- Questioning the validity of sexism as a phenomena or a topic of discussion at RPGnet
- Demanding that the debate be reframed (e.g. "This debate is too emotional"/"This should only be about solutions, not criticisms" etc.)
- Accusing other posters of looking to be offended
- Accusing male posters of "White-Knighting" or otherwise arguing against sexism solely for the approval of women

im gonna read this thread one day

The Brown Menace posted:

yeah this is my point here. like man i almost got into fist-fights with people who don't think women should enjoy basic rights, like the right to not be murdered because of random bullshit. then i get on the internet and people are protesting about loving video game titty armor. the armor got tits. why the armor got titties. i call em out on this unbalanced bullshit, and they promise me that they can care about multiple issues at once. good enough, i am ok with this. but it never actually materializes. this is the important part. the people who promise me they also care about feminism here, about literally women being murdered in this neck of the woods for what essentially amounts to no reason, never show up. not a single protest about the KSA, not a single banner mentioning even anything related to the region, not a single tweet about how really, seriously loving bad women have it here. just tit armor that, "i ought to be able to walk dark backalleys in the west nude" this. negro i agree, but please, loving mention our poo poo once, even once for fucks sake. but no. nothing. instead, video games, loving video games are you absolutely kidding me, are you for real, are the western feminist focus du jour, and apparently the final boss, who ultimately ends patriarchy and is utterly irrelevant at the same time.

SJWs are literal trash.

most "SJW" people consider getting someone really drunk and loving them while they're half conscious rape. Zoe is the first person I'm aware of to call cheating on your SO rape.

quote:

'Conditional' Consent

Section 74 has recently been considered by the High Court and the Court of Appeal in a series of cases where ostensible consent in relation to sexual offences was considered not to be true consent, either because a condition upon which consent was given was not complied with or because of a material deception (other than one which falls within section 76 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 [SOA]). The resultant judgments identified three sets of circumstances in which consent to sexual activity might be vitiated where the condition was breached.

In Julian Assange v Swedish Prosecution Authority [2011] EWHC 2849 (Admin), an extradition case, the President of the Queens Bench Division considered the situation in which Mr Assange knew that AA would only consent to sexual intercourse if he used a condom. Rejecting the view that the conclusive presumption in section 76 of the SOA would apply in these circumstances the President concluded that the "issue of materiality ...can be determined under section 74 rather than section 76".

On the specific facts the President said:

"It would plainly be open to a jury to hold that if AA had made clear that she would only consent to sexual intercourse if Mr Assange used a condom, then there would be no consent if, without her consent, he did not use a condom, or removed or tore the condom ..... His conduct in having sexual intercourse without a condom in circumstances where she had made clear she would only have sexual intercourse if he used a condom would therefore amount to an offence under the Sexual Offences Act 2003...."
