Yeah? Protests with guns have this thinly veiled threat of violence in my eyes, no matter what that group represents. And thats what i think fascism represents. Using fear and (a show of) force to try to control people.

Then again I'm from the Netherlands where guns for civilians are illegal so my ideas about such things may be strange to Americans.

bad news dude, all peaceful protest caries the threat of potential violence. A million man march carries two messages, one of "This many people are willing to get out and support this visibly" and one of "What will these people do if the peaceful method doesn't work?"

maybe they just like the cartoon and/or dislike the videogame about the gruff swordsman dude

idk that I can get behind that, because witcher 3 is pretty good, but like not every preference in entertainment media is indicative of serious psychological and emotional problems (or alternately the choice between childrens cartoons about dyke superwomen and fantasy videogames about monster hunting is a wash in that regard)

That would be fine. But the problem is they want every piece of media to conform to their ideals. It's ok for games like Hatred, or GTA, or Doom to co-exist with whatever they like. It's ok for media to be "problematic" for some people, and for others to find it fine.

Not everything has to appeal to everyone.

this. i like walking sims and some art games too. gone home while overated is interesting and does great stuff with enviromental story telling. they are fun/interesting and a change of pace. but "everything is politics" with these assholes so everything HAS to fit into that checked box and have everything single ideal fit their way.

they don't care about the hobby or the games, its all about passive aggressive finger waging and wanting all the lovely nerds to "grown up" so they can be "uplifted". and yeah, i honestly think they would ban poo poo if they could.

So wait, if the main concern in character design is to ensure queer characters aren't pleasing to the 'male gaze', does that mean that queer videogame players don't get to have eye candy?

The more troubling aspect imo is that he's policing queer bodies, and suggesting that people who are traditionally attractive are some how less legitimately queer.

he is a sex negative prude. most of the other wokes called him out on it. and being the giant pussy coward he is, he backed off after some passive aggressive bitching.

this is a good article about LGBT people buying guns in Texas, but there is a horrible blurb in it

quote:

"It has been interesting watching the LGBT and nerd communities get a little militant," Kruse said. "I've had many conversations where people refer to the [Concealed Carry License] as their 'license to carry a wand'—as in Harry Potter."
it's not even a good book universe ffs

Everyday Feminism, in their tireless efforts to stay at the pinnacle of wokeness, has been increasingly raising awareness about an often neglected oppressed minority group: Fat people

http://everydayfeminism.com/2017/03/problematic-body-posi-instas/

quote:

Many body-positive Instagrams are also punctuated with pictures of “healthy” low-calorie, low-fat, or low-carb meals or pictures documenting the Instagrammers’ progress in attaining the appearance they want.

Instagrams like these feed into a major myth diet culture teaches us: that you can love your body and change it – or even love it by changing it.

If we really want to promote body positivity, we need to promote it without qualifiers or contradictions.

We need to declare that skin with cellulite is perfect, not suboptimal, but acceptable.

We need to proclaim that fat is beautiful, not just tolerable. Instead of documenting our habits as if we’ll love our bodies more once we lose weight, we need to acknowledge that all the self-love we can feel is available to us right now.

This is a sweet message and a useful reminder that you don’t have to be thin to be considered attractive. However, Amy Schumer is thin. (She says she’s between a size six and eight, and the national average is sixteen.) And so is that Aphrodite statue.

Having stomach rolls isn’t radical. Thin people have them. By portraying them as out of the ordinary and revolutionary, we’re actually contributing to the stigma against them.
