I thought that was just basic free market reality.

This is just more projection. The entire social justice in media movement is about being entitled to representation. The representation of someone like me in western media (a Russian) is ****. If I was being entitled I would be on the other side.

Entertainment media needs to serve its customers. Not "represent reality".

PoE has more than 3 Acts? Oh my. I'm on a long break after finishing act 2. I've also completed all of the Endless Paths dungeon and all of the side quests in the area. 70 hours in total. I though Act 3 would be final.

I am surprised that sort of thing even happened here. Is this thread monitored from outside or something?

Konami...

It's perhaps ironic given the join date "theory" but me and Meshugger appear to be amongst the very earliest residents of this board.

Hey it's the Internet. People snipe with snide remarks in a game of gotcha over knowledge of no direct practical relevance.

That's pretty dumb.

It was rhetorical since she is an American figure.

Was she ever relevant to any of the specific things we were discussing? Your point?

Ok... Since this seems to be a thing I googled her. Here is something that may shock you. There is a world beyond America and some of us were born there. Where your political activists don't really matter to anyone.

I don't see why I wouldn't pay if i thought it was worth it. If someone invests and makes a real high quality expansion pack I wouldn't deny myself that. I am highly unlikely to pay for small cosmetic mods.

I don't think it's humanely possible to have it any other way to be honest. That's why I see all attempts to reign internet crowds under control as a waste of time.

GG is a hashtag. The only common association are the dislike of media behavior and disagreement with many elements of the... I don't even know what to call it because people hate SJW... "progressive agenda"? And it's tactics and behaviors. If you ever used the hashtag to say something about those things and you're now "out". This means what exactly, that you've changed your mind on your original thoughts? It's just so meanigless. Because if you did not change your opinion then you're still part of GG to them. That's why even though I used the hashtag barely a handful of times in the beginning and I don't think even ever said the words, "I'm in Gamergate," I won't be fighting someone who associates me with GG. Because of the common elements I mentioned.

I don't know who that is.

When it happens in the other camp before our eyes (BW getting crap for talking to Wardell, feminists calling women "gender traitors", etc) you would not use the words hate group. Hence. Projection.

That sounds like the 'other side's' projection.

Cute.

So when is someone going to do statistical research on how many people are abusive in proportion to the overall group? Because if this is going to be "the problem" it's where we need to start.

So if gender is social no one should care about the biological reality. But people do very strongly seek to align one with the other in this case.

But they are linked by the very nature of this discussion. Because it's about people who seek to physically change their biological sex.

I think that would need to be a very complicated discussion. People have done all sorts of things followed all sorts of fashions and codes that subvert or control their natural inclinations. Agreed.

First I'm not trying to fix anyone. I am hypothetically saying if there was a legitimate (and by legitimate I don't mean some crazy abuse) way for them to be happy with their genitals attached to them. They would be better of. And again about "wrongness". When you want to express yourself like a typical female that's one thing. When you think your genitals don't belong to you to the point where you can't keep living as you are, there is something wrong there. And you're saying biology plays no part whatsoever in most people being masculine or feminine? I am not ready to buy that. As to the subject like I said before. Being a feminine man or a masculine woman is one thing. Wanting to cut off a part of your body you think doesn't belong to you is another. What I'm getting here is that both of you are suggesting that the reason people may want to attempt a physical sex change is because society expects their biological sex and social gender expression to align. And it's this pressure that drives them to that point. If I'm reading that right then it sounds like more reason to try and find ways to get one to accept their biology. Especially in these kids who are given physical treatments way before their minds are fully mature.

I do not believe in gender as a purely social construct.
