Gender equality
The latter. The hot lady thread got closed because some of the pictures were "too lewd" and once before because oby. For it being a strange fit it seemed to get a lot of activity though. And if I would have to hazard a guess why this forum is a sausagefest, it's probably because the games discussed don't appeal to women as much or they have better things to do then chat with a collection of pseudointellectuals.

Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
From what I can tell it didn't. I haven't seen it yet but everyone I know has said it's 2.5 hours of incomprehensible depression interrupted with boring action sequences.

US Elections 2016
If obvious hyperbole wasn't obvious, the hypothetical self-interested white might even have a point. Well there is the Nation of Islam that unironically advocates for such things, so the hypothetical self-interested white turning to white nationalism would be the rational response if such things were true. Of course they aren't and the truth of material conditions results in the hypothetical self-interested white being a socialist. A thing doesn't have to be new to be bad. Te southern strategy was identity politics and has resulted in lower standards of living for everyone in those areas.

I can be an advocate for Old Nick as well. If they're claiming that whites and non-whites are natural enemies, wouldn't the rational response from a white person who believed them be to view them as enemies and try to either drive them from white territories or kill them? Why should self-interested whites kill themselves rather than eliminate natural enemies? Aside from distracting from class issues, the problem with identity politics is the implications they have of continuing racism or sexism or whatever for the sake of self-interest of the privileged when taken to their logical conclusions. While yelling "kill whitey" or "kill all men" may be therapeutic to some, it's only going to further entrench opposition compared to advocating a system where race or gender don't provide privileges or disadvantages.

US Elections 2016
Yes. In short: "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" To expand upon this, the Democratic primary is being revealed for the farce it is with this and other shady **** that seems to negatively effect only Sanders. I figure some Sanders supporters(particularly the younger ones) are going to be pushed left, mostly to being socdems who read Jacobin though, and stop voting democrat. I think it will be even more extreme of Shillary loses the general and polls show Bernie doing better.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
I agree. For me though it's largely that 5 would in theory have more...tight formations while 6 always felt a little clunky to me. Of course class balance and variety also factors in, and I usually try to build a well-rounded party so I'd hope that 5 characters could be built to collectively handle most situations.

Gawker found guilty in Hogan Case
The fact that Gawker has been held liable for damages that may or may not run them out of business and consequently indirectly punish their employees (both those guilty and not guilty of the wrongdoing that's causing Gawker to be held for damages) is, by my own estimation, primarily Gawker's (and their guilty employees') fault, not anybody else's. I feel bad for those who haven't done anything who may lose their jobs as a result, but I blame solely Gawker and their fellow employees who did wrong for it. If Gawker doesn't have the money to get away with doing illegal stuff...then maybe they shouldn't have done that illegal stuff. You won't see me saying, "But I don't have the means to withstand the results of a murder trial!" after I decide to murder somebody and get arrested for it....P.S. I prefer just being openly aggressive rather than passive-aggressive, personally...but that's just me. Silly Barti...you make me laugh . But we shouldn't punish writers for what editors do ?

Why Communism Is Coming Back, and Guaranteed Basic Income Will Be Inevitable
For your only solution you've managed to list three different things. Communism would only happen after Socialism and the absence of the state. I highly doubt the latter is going to happen anytime soon while the former is unlikely to happen without some major upheavals. Socialism would require a large shift in material conditions and probably a revolution or civil war. Mass automation would certainly be that shift, but I highly doubt socialists could overcome sectarianism to build a united front. UBI is the most plausible, and will likely be used in place of current welfare programs and as a supplement to low-wage jobs.
