Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Orogun01 replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Way Off-Topic
I'm going to call bull on that, art might be loosely interpreted but it can still be objectively measured. This whole post modernist let's **** in a can and call art thing is borne out of subjective reasoning that equates insanity with reason, is the result of critics' takeover where art is just a fad and they set the trend. There are common elements among art that have been agreed upon before subjectivity got into the scene, now they don't sell works of art they sell ideas of art. It is the concept that seems to be important because its the concept that requires the critic, art based on aesthetic is meant to be enjoyed by all and needs no interpreter. -

True, but D students in my 10th grade English class were better writers than games bloggers. And N. Either that's hyperbole or you went to a gifted school. -

Once you get to fight different types of enemies you're going to have to diversify, particularly when there are enemies which block your skills. I'm skeptical. I'm not sure how enemies could block my skills. I already focus Styx on taking out defenses. On the upside, I'm started tossing Styx and that's straight up awesome. Nearly kills everyone it hits. It has a drawback, Styx has low health and defense so putting him in the middle of battle might not be the best. But I know that lancers can effectively tank your Orc and a lot of abilities are useless against them unless they are hit with a status effect, usually one generated by an attack from Styx. Knowing how to combo skills is a survival must later in the game..oh and good luck against the 3 berserkers.

It's not. Throwing their own absurdity in their faces is not only funny, but exceedingly appropriate and very much called for, in my opinion. Stop trivializing my struggle as octokatkin ****lord. It was funny the first time, now its just getting confusing. -
Another incident with black men getting shot by police
Orogun01 replied to Drowsy Emperor's topic in Way Off-Topic
did you watch the first video in my post? unlike the one that seems to be circulating the media it doesn't pan the camera to the left so as to obscure the fact that when the victim was coming out of the car his hands were visible and it shows that the officer began shooting unprovoked. -

So the cop just happened to open the door and stand back because he wanted the victim to stay in? You can clearly see on the video that the cop is struggling to open the car door and that as soon as the does he stands back and opens fire on a man that was standing with his hands up. The victim made no aggressive moves or sudden, he didn't come close to the officer that had jumped back. You can see that his arms are up when he comes out of the car. Here is a better version of the video: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0cb_1421865901 Edit: This a different video just to prove how making officers carry cameras on their uniform may actually help with situations like these where they have to shoot someone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfTd0PYHKNo Least that could come out of these police shootings is a federal law mandating that officers carry cameras on their person while on duty. -

So if you're travelling with a lady friend and the cops decide to take her and you suspect less than noble intentions as they have been very forward with their actions you would wait until the courts decide after the event that the cops were committing crimes. It may not surprise you but there have been cases of cops committing rape and attempted rape. Or when even if you comply the cops still decides to take out his/her anger out on you or to try to goad you into resisting arrest. Now, yes it might be stupid to resist arrest or antagonize cops but the fact is that courts do nothing when it comes to cop crimes. Really, they refuse to prosecute policemen that have been clearly involved in crimes. Or to do something when their entire department stands behind those crimes. So yeah, I might have to put with it if a cop gets the bright idea that he doesn't like my manners and punches me but at this point the cops seem to be so out of control, the system seems to be doing nothing and whenever there's a cop killer lone wolf type part of me understands why they're doing it. I shouldn't be rooting for criminals just because the system offers no alternative or had been set against citizens. -

So BlackLivesMatter should be WhitePeopleareRacist instead? Either you care that cops are killing people; black people in particular, because otherwise if you're just bothered when its a white guy then you're a racist. -

The Georgina Young one was much more effective criticism. The first one just came off like all the bad anti gg articles. I would think a harassment support network would be something someone who is harassed goes to, rather than something that would reach out to the harassed, so his points fell flat to me. Well, apparently there is a vetting process where they determine if you're the right kind of victim for their company (whatever happened to listen and believe and not victim blaming?). Also they apparently reach out to victims that they feel would make a good fit for their company. Seriously though, why would a help group need to vet people before they help them? I seriously expect this thing to become "Victim.Inc". -

The problem is that when stupidity compounds people become certain of it, is has been proven that the more people repeat something the more truthful it becomes. -

The gun in the glove compartment most likely belonged to the person driving the car, whom could have a weapons permit and be allowed to legally carry it within his car. The cops completely mishandled the situation, the victim didn't make any move that could be considered aggressive. The cop spent a few seconds trying to force the car door open all while telling the victim to get out of the car but threatened him when he tried to open the door (Classic erratic cop behavior of giving conflicting orders) and shot him as soon as he got out of the car. I do wonder how many cops would pass a mental health check. -

They do provide services to GG which is a hate group against women, also sexist: Cable companies Cars dealers MacDonald Burger King Wendy (she has internalized misogyny) FaceBook Twitter These forums My mom My other mom The Federal Government Basically if you don't refuse services to a known misogynist then you are sexist. Long live the age of insanity!!! -
Sorry Malc, I was just joking with Zora...hence the . Of course I respect the right of people to comment in the GG thread...I comment there myself. I see everyone is a little serious today.....amazing how we get mass killings in Nigeria, brutal beheadings by ISIS, Russian troops crossing into Ukraine and that barely gets an emotional reaction. But the Pretty Women thread gets closed down and suddenly no one has a sense of humour Considering that ever since the whole GG thing began members who used to browse the 4chan image boards have seen the last place they would have thought would turn PC ban them it is understandable that there is a fear that this signifies the beginning of larger changes to make the community more "inclusive". Also we're a little testy over the whole affair, might not be a good time to speak in favor of it as it might come off as bragging or condescension.

It might be an irrational fear of overmoderation, what with what its going on on the web right now. The fact is that it wasn't technically against the rules otherwise it wouldn't have had enough thread titles to go through the entire Star Wars saga and Pretty woman and post where moderated on a case basis. So it has to be questioned, why now and why over complaints? Is complaining now enough to get stuff banned, or is this just a preventive measure to avoid moralist rage? So I guess that I would feel more comfortable with the decision if I knew what the actual cause of it is an not a vague response.

Yes but it didn't last long as it was mostly pictures of men's men.
