Removed racial slur. ~ Gorgon.

Careful, that's an awfully reasonable way of looking at it.

I find it mind boggling how anyone can shoot him down when he makes perfect sense. Transgender isn't about love or attraction, like heterosexuality and homosexuality are. It's about how one perceives themselves. Just because I perceive myself as a dragon, doesn't make me a dragon. It doesn't mean everyone should view me as a dragon when I'm biologically a human. It's a mental problem and instead of working harder to find the underlying cause, we lump it into the pile of equal rights. Would you take Otherkin seriously if they campaigned like trans people? Social justice warriors have perversely twisted gender dysmorphia into an equal rights issue like homosexuality or race.

Future war will be fought with unmanned machines. Followed by the AI uprising and enslavement/utter annihilation of mankind.

That's fine and I understand, but the way our medical understanding progresses, I don't think we should be condoning things like this... http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sex-change-treatment-for-kids-on-the-rise/ Untreated mental heath disorders shouldn't end in mutilation because of misguided political correctness. Do better. As it stands now, you can apply that argument to anything. Take your straw man somewhere else, guy.

Untreated mental heath disorders shouldn't end in mutilation because of misguided political correctness.

The unpleasant truth? More like gossiping. If you have any actual topic to debate rather than Bruce Jenner transition such as transgender issues or whether or not it is a mental disorder then please state that intent on the OP. I can't say that I ever watched the Kardashians or cared about their continued existence. Bruce Jenner is just another victim of the radical lefts misguided views of gender dysmorphia. One day transition surgery will be written next to electroshock therapy, lobotomy, and ADD.

The unpleasant truth?

It's the cruelest thing to let these people mutilate themselves instead of treating them... who's bright idea was it to tack T onto L G and B?

Is there any other serious illness, besides gender dysmorphia, that rather than treating we indulge and even celebrate?

Where in the original limerick does it even mentions trans people? Just mentions him sleeping with a dude.

Idk but did you see those Sand Snakes? Poor Jaime...

It has a lot of really interesting mechanics, but the actual gameplay is so meh that it just doesn't carry the game until you get far enough to mess around with interesting builds and items. Ain't nobody got time fo dat

Nonsense. Everybody does. The trick is (1) attempting to be aware of making those assumptions and (2) being able to set them aside when they're pointed out to you. Human cognition is based on categorization and generalization. It's just the way we tick. It's how we deal with the resulting biases that count. Once again give me examples of where I have made assumptions of groups of people ? Your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. Try reading it again. If you want I can help you.

Path of Exile sucks

It was removed because it offended a trans woman who asked for it to be removed. That's easily the dumbest reason to remove something. "It made me butthurt." "REMOVE IT!" Not really, this is actually a valid reason for changes in many things in civil society like politicians retracting comments or misplaced marketing campaigns that are considered offensive to certain groups People say or do things, sometimes these things are then criticized. Then there is an assessment of the issue and a change is made and sometimes an apology This is the way the world works Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is not how the world works. That's how politics works. In the real world, you will be hurt and offended. You either deal with it, or you cry to mommy and have mommy do something about it. You're a victim, and you teach others how to be victims. You should be teaching people how to deal with the real world. Which country do you live in Faustian? I am interested because it may have something to do with your view " that things cannot be altered or retracted once they are done or said " And this definitely doesn't just apply to politics but my point permeates all aspects of a democratic society "Mommy he called me a name!" "Well I'll call his mother and he'll be grounded!" "Well that turned out well for me, I think I'll complain every time I don't like something instead of just standing up for myself and not being a baby." Can you respond to my question, what country do you live in? I want to understand the context to your views Where do you think I'm from? Clearly you've already geographically stereotyped me.

I'm under the impression that the internet, social media, and message boards is as real as your world gets. In which case, I can see how you'd think crying to someone to get what you want is the best course. You know who else does that? Babies.

Why was it removed? Because it certainly wasn't homophobic. Indiana allowing discrimination is homophobia. A harmless limerick in Pillars of Eternity isn't homophobia. You people need to learn to pick your battles, or you look like petty little children. Calling me a homophobe for not agreeing with you also doesn't help your case.

So the limerick is finally back if you want it ...well that is significant and should change your gaming experience by exactly.......I'm not sure how this changes your gaming experience ? Now before someone says " how does it change your gaming experience by having it in the game " It doesn't but its an issue because of what it represents so for me removing it is more about the principle And that issue is about homophobia The limerick isn't homophobic. Would it be misogynistic if it were about waking up next to an ugly fat woman instead of a transvestite? Are you asking if the limerick was about a guy who kills himself because he had sex with a fat old women would I find it controversial? Yes I would..of course. But it wouldn't be misogynistic, I would say its an issue of ageism...but overall I would just find it crass and childish http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/ageism?showCookiePolicy=true The ****in limerick wasn't meant to be taken literal, but all the gung-ho queers have certainly taken it that way and have in effect censored a backers words. Furthermore none of you even care about it, you're just glad you get to stick it to the straight guys again, because you can't get them to "Stick it" to you. You got it buddy, anytime I get to undermine straight guys I do it...you have exposed the great homosexual grand plan The level of the maturity and logic of your posts is deteriorating at an alarming rate, you sound almost hysterical. My advice is take a break from this discussion for a while, you are not thinking clearly Queer logic does indeed drive me to hysterics. You guys need to grow the **** up, it isn't the 1980s anymore. Your orientation isn't strange or taboo, but your crusade against anything hetero is starting to grind some gears. Ease the **** off already. EDIT: There is no good reason the limerick was removed. Other than some homosexuals got butthurt over it, and it wasn't anything to get butthurt over. We're raising a generation of victims, and the grown men and women, gay or not, who act like victims on the daily are not helping the problem.

Yes. Not that I expect you to understand that. No it wouldn't. Remember, just because you're butthurt doesnt make you right. Just because a fat ugly woman gets her feelings hurt, doesn't make someone a misogynist.
