Why does this sound similar? https://medium.com/@aristoNYC/social-justice-bullies-the-authoritarianism-of-millennial-social-justice-6bdb5ad3c9d3

I didn't say that Ebert was objective, i said that he was good at presenting on what works and why in a good manner. TB has the same qualities even if the medium is different. And i do not see games as art that is to be critiqued. Doesn't stop anyone from doing it though, but that is not what i am looking after when i want a review. For example, I do not care one slightest how the gameplay makes the reviewer feel. I care if it works and why/why not?

I somehow think that you're not as serious as you portray yourself to be. But if you are: Ethics: Objectivity: A goal to strive for, not an end. As for being a good game reviewer, see Roger Ebert on how to put aside personal morals in favour on valuing on how good the movie is in itself. Total Bisquit understands this concept pretty well, eventhough i do not agree on his taste on games.

I get your point on concepts and how they are created. But in this case i cannot even find in anything in popular culture. I feel like the boat sailed and i was not even aware that there even was a boat to begin with. But back to topic, Carla Ellison is in more conflicts of interest: http://pastebin.com/u2334JcG

It used to be perfectly acceptable, even a preferred term of reference, but it's gone through a couple of rounds on the euphemism treadmill, basically. Here's an old piece by Steven Pinker explaining the concept of the euphemism treadmill. "People invent new "polite" words to refer to emotionally laden or distasteful things, but the euphemism becomes tainted by association and the new one that must be found acquires its own negative connotations. … The euphemism treadmill shows that concepts, not words, are in charge. Give a concept a new name, and the name becomes colored by the concept; the concept does not become freshened by the name. (We will know we have achieved equality and mutual respect when names for minorities stay put.)" Uh, people understand the concept of "****" being offence as it was a widespread way to talk down on people just because of the racial features they were born with. It's been in movies, books and of course, in music. So back to tranny. Where has it been used as a negative connotation to anything? I sure can't come up with anything.

Sorry, i do not know either. But i would speculate trangenders (why is 'tranny' a slur? it's just a shorter and easier word?!) automatically congregate since this is mostly about identity and gender politics. Somebody should do a study on this phenomenon

*looks up who this Anna Antrophy is* .... ... .. . . .

Oh, i know that feeling. You can eat, walk and carry, but your mind isn't really there and you end up with that thousand yard-stare. All the senses feel slightly numb and you cannot really think of anything. Yuck.

Oh.

It all started with ethics in game journalism, now i have see myself staring at the statue of Jefferson and thinking aloud: "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. https://archive.today/pyCMp

Godammit, i noticed how my insight, grammar and ability to express myself has gone down the drain the last few years. Dementia, here i come!

I like how we discuss his exterior features and potential social standing that attributes to it instead of what he has to say. He looks like typical spanish guy. Out of context, i would guess that he was galician fisherman.

He's hispanic not white. He's Transcracker according to certain ideologies.

Here is a summary http://www.themarysue.com/hugo-awards-george-rr-martin/ Its really just more GG hyperbole about " SJW destroying everything we use to hold dear..and unchangeable " Apparently you missed my previous link about the subject. It really was an excellent article where he makes great points and i highly suggest that you read it

The Taiwanese indirectly explained the mindset behind most aGGros:

Correia writes an open letter to Martin to explain the situation. http://monsterhunternation.com/2015/04/09/a-response-to-george-r-r-martin-from-the-author-who-started-sad-puppies/ The parallells, man.

The Blockbot on Twitter that was supposed to block those horrible gooblegamers has blocked, Dawkins, Sommers, and even the Pope. http://archive.today/0VQ4G

Err, isn't this a felony?

I'd suspect (but don't know) that the argument would be something like this: *Western society approves aggressiveness and outspokenness in men but discourages it in women *Women are trained in western society to not question authority or to stand up for themselves *therefore society respects and responds to an assertive male, but not an assertive female *therefore men negotiate better than women because this is what society thinks is acceptable; women will be seen negatively if they negotiate and are trained by society not to negotiate Also, since Sad Puppies was brought up here, George R.R. Martin on Puppygate/Sad Puppies: http://grrm.livejournal.com/417125.html I would say this is accurate, but I also believe this is more a problem outside Western countries. I do not see this changing before we change human nature. My guess? give it about 10 to 20 generations after women do not have monopoly on childbirth. //edit: Hopfeully Martin will channel that sadness into finishing his books. Where's my Winds of Winter?!

Let's make a better argument. Why do you need someone to rule over you?

Don't worry Hurlie, we will always love you, despite that you seem to call it a movement when it is a consumer revolt. In other news, I don't know if it is BS or not, but aren't RICO laws something used when going after organized crime?

Ok, what's so special about Sad Puppies that will make people say things like these?

Excellent post! You make some great points and I highly suggest everyone read this post
