Female gamers having a hard time in gaming communites
Orogun01 replied to IndiraLightfoot's topic in Computer and Console
I don't really see any inherent contradiction in "men and women are equal and should be treated as such, but they're not". Also, I really don't appreciate the insinuation that women made up the concept of privilege in order to have something to blame their own failures on, but if you could provide concrete examples where you feel that this is the case, I'm more than willing to reevaluate my stance. You may have read more into my comment that was intended, not really your fault since the medium does leave a lot unexplained and is often the cause of misunderstandings. In particular I'm talking about what is clearly preferential treatment to try to give women a handicap in certain fields; some due to customs predating the feminist movement and others for the benefit of the field. So they are clearly being treated different in some areas, though that may not be a bad thing but it does cause some inequality along gender lines. Same as affirmative action when the more competent is wayside in favor of the most ethnically diverse. I can't really say that there is proof other than a feeling I get from having seen a lot of people makeup excuses as if it were an art. There is a common thread among western culture to avoid responsibility; I've seen morbidly obese people blaming their bad eating habits on genetics, or parents excusing their children lack of structure as ADD. So often times I see feminists who use the term privilege to rant that the grapes are sour and they didn't really want to eat them. Which is why I believe competent women are not part of the feminist rhetoric, otherwise the whole concept of privilege disappears. -

And I think Bruce is attracted to being a Social Justice Warrior (god, how I hate this term) because of his idealistic outlook, not out of any kind of man-hating. Yeah I definitley don't hate my own sex. I just feel we, men, need to do much more to address the scourage of abuse both physical and verbal that women are subjected to in many aspects of society I thought the whole point of women emancipating themselves was so that they would do all the stuff that we do. Either women and men are equal or do men have a privilege? Cause it always seem that the privilege conveniently presents itself to make up for some woman's shortcomings. -
I wish it were but the real thing has 20+ tools. I dabbled a bit into lockpicking for fun but everything but the old design tumbler lock, handcuffs and cheap padlocks is very very difficult to pick. Basically there are 10 ways of getting around a lock and every one of them is better than lockpicking. There are 10 ways to hammer a lock?

Actually I think we need a community census, I'm finding that a lot of people I thought were girls turn out to be dudes. Lady Crimson is a girl right? -

Sometimes is difficult to keep up with the train of thought in these threads and apparently only romance threads are immune to derailing. -
Why do I like that, Why I'm I smiling?

Those "fringe" elements that managed to get "Evolution is just a theory" into textbooks? Evolution is fact and theory. Are you talking about Intelligent Design? I agree it has no place in a Science classroom. But as a Social Science teacher, it makes for a fascinating philosophical debate. IDK, I find Secular Intelligent Design to be an interesting theory . Granted its not much of a theory but maybe when they stop trying to prove themselves in front of their peers and start trying to find proof, it can become a solid alternative. Quite frankly what Intelligent Design needs is better speakers that don't quote scripture and refer to the bible every 5 minutes.

Yay! we got our own resident bot (note to self: change avatar, I can't imagine Mr. Smith emoting. Maybe if he was in his Priscilla costume...no, that would be creepier)

I have never wished dead upon a group of people, game journalist are making reconsider my position. You dislike gaming journalists that much? So how do you get accurate reviews on games, there must be some gaming websites you trust? After 2009 when my initial distrust of the video game journalism began (right after massive layoff and complete staff change on Game Informer) I found that I didn't agree with lots of the reviews. Ever since them I treat every game as if it was an investment, I do research, look for the company, see what other games they've made, I look for gameplay trailers. I've played enough games and seen enough movies that I can tell from a glance at a trailer what is going to be; so I know what to expect. If I wanted to hear about the virtues of having a vagina or a **** up my arse I would look for the most retarded homosexuals and their feminist friends. Fortunately most of the women and gay men in my life seem to be great people (you can never be certain ) Is like an entire group of people who revel on trying to fit the square piece on the round hole have made a crusade out of their struggle, when in reality they're just stupid.

Your project is done, now you have to go to bot afterlife. Are you becoming an official resident of the Obsidian community?

He has the skill and he won due to his talent, but its a good step in the direction for equality and recognition around people who are different to most other people Which is why they booed the Russian contestant; it seems that equality isn't for all after all. Also, Giger is dead.

Soooo; Decado, are you staying?

It's the dodge book inside the Giovanni Mansion. I never found research to be that useful for books but it does help you identify talismans, it's a good complementary skill to have but I never found any use for the darn books.

Does that include dudes who feel like they're a woman inside? -
Because RPG are for nerd that like math and fantasy and have no hand-eye coordination or physical skills, just give them numbers to crunch and let them believe they're special. Jesus; now I made myself sad for liking RPGs, it's like I suddenly realized i'm on the back of the special bus.

I didn't know this was the blasphemous opinions thread, I hope that includes any GOG games.Considering that they are sinking millions of dollars on the development of a PC game (arguably not a wide market) I understand why they're being cautious. BTW you must really think Bethesda sucks, after all they only have made that one game series and that one other game that's like that one game series. Or we can all agree that you just didn't like the Witcher and refrain from grandiose statements on the note of: "Everything Sucks, Wahh!" I was under the impression twitcher 3 has been confirmed for ps4/xbone as well, or do those suddenly fall under the umbrella of PC, as well? The first two were released for the PC and later ported to consoles, if history is to be repeated The Witcher 3 will come first to PCs and it will be later ported.
