    Comments like this always baffle me since this is the polar opposite of what the "feminist discourse" is about.

    Like the containment forum strategy worked with gamergaters? (Ie. it emboldened them to spew their bull**** all over everything else as well.) 'Containment strategy' showed a fundamental misjudgement of the issue when applied to GG, the situations really aren't comparable at all. Perhaps the biggest differential is that there's a significant grouping who aren't really pro GG at all but are anti anti GG (or anti SJW)- not a phenomenon you get with chemtrails etc. Hardly answers the point I tried (and apparently failed) to make, namely that since people have been allowed to voice their frankly nasty and barbaric opinions about women in gaming, they seem to have become emboldened to voice their nasty and barbaric opinions about everything else as well. Or maybe they've been consistently terrible and I just started paying attention to them more, I don't know.

    Dont you think it can change when they became majority? Which you predict will happen... when? In a century? Two? More?

    Citation?

    Truly, your wit and originality is staggering.

    Did I miss anything or did the article really fail to impart anything informational about the phenomena other than its name?

    As if any of the people holding these stereotypes could be convinced otherwise with data and reasons.

    That analogy is super snappy but also has nothing in common with the current situations. Points for trying, though.

    If they can't handle someone saying mean things about them, especially mean things that are essentially true, they can perhaps try taking their own advice and grow a thicker skin. Or, alternatively, they can try and prove the writer wrong by reacting in a different manner than buying things ("These walking simulators are not real games! Also, journalistics ethics is super important to me, so I'm going to buy Hatred because the people I don't like didn't like it! THAT will show them!"), spackling over memes (oh so many GG memes) and getting angry on the internet (self-evident). Predictably though, that didn't happen.

    Literally every single article railing against "white, male gamers" (hint: there was none; on the other hand, there was a grand total of two saying mean things about gamers in general, without the "white, male" qualifier) specified they meant a very specific subset of gamers, whose unpleasant characteristics were unrelated to their race and gender (although, as they pointed out, due to socieconomic realities, white males are severely overrepresented in said group). There was never an "attack on white male gamers", and anybody who claims otherwise is an idiot. What.

    None of what you just said makes one iota of sense or is rooted in reality. At all.

    I take it you're not big on Blackstone's formulation.

    They are even working with the U.N. through the Lucis Trust. Just like a lot of elites. Don't you guys want to join the big club? Right? right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucis_Trust They sound like an organization out of a bad '90s World of Darkness supplement

    I have a feeling you're not overly familiar with Buddhism Really? So you saying that there are not any branches of Buddhism that teaches reincarnation then? Or that people can ascend to Buddhahood (another unprovable belief)? On reincarnation. (Also, isn't the Dalai Lama considered to have ascended to Buddhahood?) They may have a different method for it to account for their beliefs but it is still unprovable. Have you even read the thing? The buddhist idea of reincarnation is basically a fancy way of saying "your actions have consequences, yo". Buddhahood isn't some super mythical status, it effectively means "you're unfazed by the vagaries of life". Buddhism, at its core, is an eminently sensible and - dare I say - scientifically self-evident way of looking at the world and life in general. It may be cloaked in allegory and mysticism, but hey, what do you expect from a millenia-old religion?

    Believing in reincarnation always seemed like a supremely logical thing to me. You can find solace in knowing that however much you screw up your life, or however many opportunities you miss out on for fear of screwing up your life, you'll always have a second (and third , and fourth, ad infinitum) chance in your next life. And guess what, if it turns out you're wrong, there's no reincarnation, and you just cease to exist when you die, it's not like you'll be around to realize you've been wrong.

    How does that pertain to the subject at hand? Aren't we discussing reincarnation? Didn't you post a link about reincarnation and I'm interested in your opinion I thought we were discussing the buddhist beliefs (or lack thereof) in reincarnation, but then you went and posted this: So now I'm confused.

    Your fascination with an (evil) outside force posing a challenge to the protagonists baffles me. It's hardly the only possible source of conflict in a movie. In a Star Wars movie, it makes perfect sense. It's also a story that has been told before in six movies! Switching up the formula a bit also makes perfect sense. Switching formula is all fine and dandy, but in this case they failed executing it properly. So you don't fundamentally disagree with the goal of creating a villain who's basically a poser and a wannabe?
