I'm personally biased because I was also raped, with my rapist attempting to paint me as the aggressor, so it stuck in my craw. I'm sorry to bring it up, honestly.

I've mentioned it before. Zoe Quinn by her own description raped Eron Gjoni repeatedly, as well as engaged in other physical and emotional abuse. Later, she sexually harassed Wolf Wozniak at a wedding, upon which he was doxxed and harassed by Phil Fish and hundreds of online dudes, telling him he was never invited to the wedding, deserved whatever happened, etc. As far as I know, she's the only person involved w the "correct" side of the whole fiasco who is in fact a terrible person. Like, Anita makes cool videos, seems like a harmless person, I don't even know who else was involved. Obviously the dudes and nazis on the other side are guilty of many of the same things, and worse things, but to me, you can't excuse behavior like this just because someone is your ideological ally.

I don't have some sort of vendetta against anyone, this is just what happened. It's disgusting to act like this woman is a paragon of coolness and integrity when she's a rapist and abuser.

take for instance this very reprehensible and relevant bit that they talked about in the episode that is still even worse than they make it out to be

I'm really sorry to hear that. To me at least, it sounds like on some level you take the Gamergate case to be a direct reflection on the validity of your personal experience, which it absolutely should not be; your experience is valid and, indeed, personal. I hope you can find real support in dealing with it, people on the internet aren't going to be too helpful on that front.

Yup! As we were walking up to the entrance there was a family of three being sadly turned away from the door by the ticket taker. If his explanation was right same day tickets go on sale at 6am and are almost always completely sold out by 9.

My only criticism was that John Brown only got about 3 sentences and a single image in the pre-civil war section. The man at least deserves a portion of a full-wall display :(

1) if the harvard ep was any indication, it was felix's dig at "campus free speech" bullshit by trying to come up with the most ridiculous, most reprehensible idea possible and i guess it kinda grew from there.

2) the best left-leaning video game is the physics-based pipe-smoking simulator calm down, stalin! which tries to encapsulate the difficulties of balancing the threat of thermonuclear war with smacking around a faulty lamp that will not stop with that goddamn flickering

This led me to a John C. Wright post about Jack Vance, and I am now angry. As a Jack Vance fan I'm pretty sure there's no liberal conspiracy against the works of Jack Vance.

Then it led me to this and holy poo poo, "Gates of Vienna?" Chapo has shown me the Yellow Sign.

John Brown should be up there with the Founding Fathers and Lincoln, easily. edit: I mean in people's minds of 'important American heroes', not 'you know who should be on a wall in the Museum of African-American History? THOSE GUYS WHO OWNED SLAVES AND DIDN'T SEE MUCH OF AN ISSUE WITH IT'
