Journalism and sexism in the games industry
If two people casually hook up what protections are in place to protect against false allegations if no proof beyond an anecdotal confirmation of consent exists? Perhaps college students in California keep much more detailed notes on such matters than my peers, but in my personal experience consent is given orally the vast majority of the time, and that isn't something that is easy to prove.

Reading the text of the law, intoxication needs to be to the point of incapacitation. Not sure how being really drunk, but still conscious will be handled but I assume we will see soon enough. Something I find troubling is proof of informed consent. With my ex I would often try to start sex in the morning or after a shower without talking first. If she didn't want to, she would hit me or tell me to **** off, but there were times we had sex without verbally agreeing. Not sure how it would hold up I'm court, but I could see someone who had a sexual encounter like this find themselves in legal trouble if the partner decided to raise issue.

""Yes means yes" is the first law in a US state to make the language of affirmative consent a central principle of school sexual assault policies. The rule defines consent as "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity." Lawmakers say, however, that consent can be non-verbal, if it is unambiguous. The aim is to improve the way that campuses deal with accusations of sexual assault, and to challenge the notion that victims of sexual crimes need to have resisted assault in order to have valid complaints. The legislation also says that silence or a lack of resistance do not constitute consent. Under the bill, someone who is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep cannot grant consent." Someone who is drunk can not give consent? I suppose that means the few times I had sex with my ex while drunk I was being raped then.

The culture of Rape, Bill Cosby Story
What is a sexual act? For example in India a kiss can be considered a sexual act. Is undressing a girl with my eyes and staring creepily a sexual act? Yes ****lord.

It seems that if the encounter is over 2 levels above, you're probably going to be wiped. Then again, the tactical view is so awful that my tactics seem to be over ridden.

The culture of Rape, Bill Cosby Story
Aye, I guess a lot of grief could be avoided in these discussions if you dirty feminists could just use a terminology that's not so damn inflammatory / you ignorant twats would just look up what people actually mean by using words that have very specific meanings in the specific context they're mentioned. (Everyone feel free to pick one according to the tribe they feel like belonging to). Can we be the Obsidian tribe? I really don't like the other people on the web. Soon we will be forced to go somewhere else, so get comfortable with either 8chan or the Codex.

Bad judgement call there young grasshopper, its okay to assume guilt if you are right about the accusation The pattern and frequency of the rape charges tell us something, celebrities don't get this degree of victimisation unless there is something to it But you can't know if you are right about the accusations. Anecdotal evidence is not valid proof. If you do not want Cosby to be thought innocent, you must prove him guilty.

*Reads article* [Citation needed] As to Cosby and rape, I have not seen conclusive evidence that he is guilty, so I will presume innocence.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
I've had a few crashes on start up, the tactical camera is wonky, and crating could be simpler. In addition, combat can be pretty hectic and I would prefer to be able to see equations for attack resolution and other stuff. I don't like the front only restriction for the shield sustained and IMO the lack of healing magic sucks. I think larger and more varied skill trees would've been good as well, as it is it feels too cut down. So far I'd say DAO was definitely better, but it is hands down a more solid game than DA2. I don't agree with the direction it took, but so far it seems to be good for what it is trying to be.
