IRQ posted:Reddit is owned by massive multimedia corporation Advance Publications, they just seem to have no interest in curtailing all the horrible poo poo that goes on there. Reddit isn't going to curb behavior unless their hands are basically forced. People who would generally agree that abuse and threats of physical or sexual violence are totally uncalled often still go stupid when you frame it as an issue of ~Internet Freedom~.

hemophilia posted:I didn't think last night's episode was very good and that was maybe the least interesting, least compelling main segment he's done yet. I guess John thought it merited some of his time, but I didn't learn anything new and I wasn't made to give a poo poo, either, so I feel like mine was wasted. I hope that was a bottle segment or something and John just didn't have anything substantial to talk and joke about. They tried so hard to make me angry because there are mean people, and creepy people, and creepy mean people on the internet? Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and guess the segment was not really aimed at people constantly immersed in the shittiest aspects of the Internet.

Narcissus1916 posted:It is possible to say "Brianna Wu is not a perfect human being and has said awkward and dumb things" and still 100% condemn harassing and threatening women in any space - virtual or otherwise. Its largely a question of focus. When someone's talking about the harassment she faced it's probably not the ideal time to talk about the lovely things she's done, that's the point. hemophilia posted:The internet's wild west aspect is what makes it great. People need thicker skin and accept that putting yourself out there to peddle your ideology can cause a negative reaction. Nobody is entitled to a positive experience on the internet. People are going to be rude and lovely and instead of calling the news to act indignant for a camera, try calling the loving police when creeps take it too far. Or you know maybe don't act as an agitator for your holy cause if you can't take what you dish out. Whatever it is, don't try to change the internet for these people's sake You probably should have watched the segment actually Arsonist Daria fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Jun 23, 2015 |

The fact that Sarkeesian does really basic, surface-deep feminist criticism of games and gets a shitload of hate for that says a lot about the mindstate of the community. There's much better commentators in games journalism, and any time they mention race or gender they get accused of making controversy where there is none in order to create views. It's fuckin' dumb. Feminist Frequency lacks a lot of nuance but apparently that's where the community needs to start if you want more diversity in games.

Dreylad posted:No way!! At the very least, the three history series (with one that focused entirely on US history) were more comprehensive and intriguing than the entirety of my HS history classes, and most people don't end up taking anything more advanced. The second world history series does a lot more to go into the differing perspectives on history and how inadequate it is to focus on any one view of the same event.

wrt the expanding acronyms, I feel it's doubly a relic now that we've got "queer" back. You might be homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, demisexual, pansexual, whatever the hell orientation is going to come out in a week, but it's all queer. All expanding the acronym is going to do is make eyes roll and encourage division.

Pick posted:I'm not convinced "queer" is entirely reclaimed, or at least the extent to which it has been reclaimed is very regionalized. This is a fair point, but considering the success thus far there's no reason to stop. Much easier to use, much more unifying.

Toxxupation posted:queer is the common term used in academia or on the lecture circuit (queer advocate, Queer Studies, Queer Voice, Queer Expert), and as a pejorative the term has shifted to the much harsher "human being" and even the term "gay" (the gays, etc) Yeah around the time people started tacking "queer" on at the end of the acronym, that was the last nail in the coffin. Might as well end it with "et cetra." Ultimately, we don't have to use queer, but we've got to come up with something. People like to joke about how everyone wants to be a special snowflake and poo poo, but as society becomes more open about things like sexuality and gender we're going to get a lot of new groups. We've still got enough problems between homosexuals and transexuals without not even letting new people in the clubhouse, or trying to pigeonhole them into a definition they don't like.

Whoopi Goldberg doesn't believe the loving moon landing was real. And I guess it's because she never looked up really basic info like who worked the camera?

I can't believe people are here defending the loving penny Also at my local Chase branch the teller will fill out a deposit slip for me (I usually already have it written out anyway), but I think that's just because the tellers are abnormally nice.

Gyges posted:Because no one ever pushed back on Stewart when he claimed to just be a comedian telling funnies. Yeah, the whole trouble with the format has never been one of intent, it's been a fundamental question about the function satire serves in media. It's not really one with a clear-cut answer, either, so it almost doesn't matter what Oliver or anyone else actually wants to achieve.
