Isn't the whole point of "free speech" is that it allows others to call you a prick if you are in fact acting like a prick? "Free speech" means "I can do and say anything I want without any consequences" to these people

The Nazi dog is about as much of a "joke" as PDP's poo poo. What I'm saying is PewDiePie should be in jail. I feel like we've had this conversation before, Midig. Just cause you think saying offensive things is a joke doesn't necessarily make it so, and doesn't insulate you from criticism. See: Michael Richards, Daniel Tosh.

Midig posted:Well, I guess if you took what I said literally and ignored the context you might think that there is an almost infinite amount of hypothetical jokes that are not sexist, homophobic, racist, offensive, unsympathetic etc. and it was wrong of me to not point that out, but being charitable is not your strong suit. This is incredibly dumb, even for you.

OwlFancier posted:I guess that also doesn't really seem very socialist..? I mean to be honest I don't even know if Affirmative Action is what I'd call socialist, it's good, but it seems like a pretty specific solution to a problem and I'd probably say if anything it seems more like a liberal style solution. A socialist solution would be like, integrated unionization or something. Generally it seems that when Americans talk about Socialism what they really mean Nordic-style generous welfare programs and policies, not like, state ownership of the means of production.

I do know it's 100% off the pre-order possibility, which is sort of the kiss of death for most games given the awful way they are handled now. The hearts that have to be won are the devs and studioes. Regardless of how much the manchild neckbeards want titty/genocide simulator 2020 if no devs are willing to make beside some half-assed asset flippers on Steam, they aren't going to get a AAA version. https://mobile.twitter.com/ombrophilia/status/874054576323809280 Not saying it's impossible, but it's weird how him supposedly being a better person only comes up when there might be financial ramifications for his shittyness

Right now I'm just picturing a story about a guy trying to overthrow a government so he can say the n-word without judgement. The epilogue is him sexually harassing his love interest in an elevator. Speaking of which, I'm a bit surprised no ones made a game of Harrison Bergeron yet, it seems like a perfect fit for how these people see themselves.

boner confessor posted:the culture war is just an internet turf war. if you step away from the internet for a bit none of this poo poo is real or matters - the base issues like institutional misogyny sure are, but like 96% of americans dont give a poo poo at all about SJWs ruining video games or whatever gamergate is furious about. like the epic memelord who was booted out of the alt right rally for being obnoxious, these are people who spend so much time online that the lines between that and offline reality are very blurry. i blame smartphones for enabling internet addicts to have a source of addict supply constantly Agreed.

They really do less than nothing to preserve the world they want Isn't a thing among any person who matters.

Fados posted:Tumblr SJWs are to liberals what Ayn Rand devotees are to free-market republicans This is pretty dumb. The speaker of the house used to make his interns read Atlas Shrugged and there are Randian true believers with immense financial resources to toss around in the political realm. There are no "SJWs" that have such power and influence, and acting like they're at all comparable is a gross exaggeration.

Except for Richard Spencer, the public reactionary right seems mostly made up of grifters like our boy Sargon who's living large on his $60,000 a year, plus maybe some dumb teens like the guy dating Laci Green. Maybe I'm forgetting someone, but I can't think of anyone who I'd name as a leading light of the youtube SJW left. Anita Sarkeesian, duh

He does not just "get lucky," he uses space magic that he just learned about to make a shot that even the best pilot couldn't make, flying a space ship with only a single throwaway line to explain how he knows how to do it at all. He doesn't just narrowly escape the battle of hoth, he takes down an AT-AT pretty much single handedly. He goes toe to toe with Darth Vader in a fight in Jedi despite yoda never training him with a light saber. yeah yeah,  I'm done now

Maluco Marinero posted:I kinda regret comparing the treatment of competent female characters vs their male counterparts given the amount of Star Wars discussion it triggered, but it is kind of telling that rather than address the broader point it devolved into arguing the mechanics of plot & particular films ad infinitum. Y'know it's okay for pieces of art to be flawed mechanically, especially pop culture art for mass consumption which is almost guaranteed to be. The constant droning on about plot mechanics to validate this or that is why cinema criticism has become such a wasteland. Nerds on the internet like to argue about Star Wars? Well I never

rkajdi posted:Uh, Rand had incredibly crazy things to say on the front of fairly basic feminist things like consent. Just read the Fountainhead. The idea that Libertarians are level-headed comes from listening to the 4.99 minutes before the crazy starts to come out of every orifice. In the experience I have with Libertarians, most would have been rep pillers if the philosophy was around back then. It attracts dregs, and dregs are looking for any reason why they are human failures besides themselves. Is that the one where a man rapes a woman and the woman falls in love with him because he "takes what he wants" or something like that?

An unfortunate amount of people genuinely believe that you cannot be racist unless you have explicit intent to do so. And also, they realllllly want to say the n-word.

Probably the highlight of that interview was the Google guy saying that managers at Google keep a "blacklist" of conservative employees that they share with managers of other large companies to prevent conservatives from being hired. https://twitter.com/jamesadamore/status/908016532835287040 Considering he doesn't seem to understand how Google works I can't imagine he was that great at his job. Maybe the problem here, James... is you. Also his twitter bio: "Nerd centrist interested in open discussions and improving the world by fixing perverse incentive structures.
