I hate Devin Wilson because every time I see his name I'm reminded of both Steven Wilson and Damian Wilson and I don't want anything good associated with this thread.

BottledBodhisvata posted:When did problematic become such a buzzword? Like, I know he's not talking about anything related to gameplay when he uses this word. It's so myopic and vague and says nothing but implies that whatever his sensitivities are, they need to be catered to and to fail to do so is an actual problem that warrants solving. But when the gently caress did the word get hijacked in such a way? Privilege is at least a useful concept, if you don't turn it into a score-keeping system or a weapon to quash opponents. But problematic is just a weasel word these days. Your games / words / thoughts are problematic. The only response to that is to either knuckle under or say gently caress you. If you try to go with a middle ground of "sorry you find this problematic but I'm not changing my behavior" just least to accusations of misogyny or racism or whatever wrong-think is offending them.

GamerBee just crushed him and he almost thought of switching characters but didn't!

Thats kinda why I didnt watch SS until finals day I figured most of them would get vaporized in no time up till around top 8. As for elena bodying people that happened at summerjam too East coast doesnt have any elenas so chris g walked through qualifing pools with her due to inexperience.

The little sailor moon ultra she has too is just loving hilarious. That mini heal everyone at SS was just like "what is going on? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!" To my shock there wasn't a single rose at the tournie especially after EVO I expected to see a few. Also I'm so proud of everyone on my FB page. I just took a look and not a single post from anyone who plays games about this zoe bullshit. I seriously expected someone to do it. I was dreading it, but not a single person. These are the same people who loving linked ice bucket challenges left and right. I just realized at the same time this started I haven't seen any ice bucket challenges SINCE. Perhaps instead of hating Zoe Quinn we should be thanking her for taking idiot's minds off dumping ice water on their heads and feeling smug and hating her instead. Zoe Quinn deserves a medal.

Klyith posted:I'd love to know the history of that one. Did problematic ever have a good use or definition, besides the mundane one of "a thing that caused a problem" like a flat tire or whatever? Maybe it was a way to de-personalize some of the situations, like the glass ceiling being problematic even if nobody was directly, consciously discriminating against women? If so, I haven't seen it used like that ever. it means 'a thing people like us don't like' while suggesting that if you're not like us you're maybe part of the problem.

Yeah and privilege used to mean something besides the score in the oppression olympics. sorry I take SJWs just seriously enough to to dig thru their verbiage and bullshit for the actual good bits. It is a movement that started from good origins even if it went malignant on the internet

The current usage of 'privilege' to mean 'advantaged' makes the term less useful. The whole point of the term is that it is an advantage hidden to those outside of the privileged group, so you could actually fight privilege simply by exposing it. It doesn't apply to a lot of situations it is used now. The fact that normal people can use air travel and super fats cannot is a surprise to no one, so trying to expose it as a privilege is pointless.

It's pretty simple: First you ban hate speech, then you label disagreement as hate. Oh wait, I got that backwards, they already did the second part.

Her bland, slightly smug face staring out at me in thumbnails and images that she took, promotion that she took, haunts me. I can't escape. We can't escape she's taken control she's takenOVErMYMiND and let me tell ya, I feel great. Have you checked your privilege today guys? Boy howdy did I! Shucks, why doesn't Princess Peach wear overalls too, instead of a dress, like some kind of Barbie Doll? Y'know, I've been thinking, games really aren't about having fun--fun's a poisonous priority, what we really need are games that explore socio-ecomonimic differences between genders, and feature self-empowered princesses who destroy their own monarchies and establish democratic states in largely bloodless fashions. The only ones hurt are those MEN those FILTHY loving MEN Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go smash my penis--better known as a Patriarchy Rape Machine--with a blunt stone. Seeya!
