I’ll expand on a point or topic if I feel it’s something worth expanding upon and if it is likely my expanding will achieve anything (as I have done on numerous occasions on this forum). The majority of the time I’m just prodding to see others views, pick faults in others positions or to otherwise just be an annoying little ****head (my interaction with these forums is limited to when I’m looking for a quick distraction). This particular instance was an example of me prodding to see where the OP was going with his train of argument. As I suspected it was no where good.

Oh lord here we go.

Except that is not what is happening right now. It's quite possibly the opposite.

That sounds like feminist talk to me.

You're right. Tackled implies that despite only being used as an anti-feminist platform the issues themselves are still being addressed. Perhaps replacing the word "tackled" with "acknowledged" would work better. Insightful as always Volourn.

Sad how male issues are only tackled through the lens of "HAHA TAKE THAT FEMINISTS" rather than any actual care for the issue itself. Good god the thread has gone crazy far quicker than I could have predicted.

If the circumstances are suspicious I'm probably wrong. I haven't read ADWD since it came out.

Your opinion is objectively false. Unless there's some fan theory I'm unaware of, it was Ramsay.

Perfect opportunity to repost that **** pic I made: "First the gamers will take back journalism and then the world !"

Would you like me to find better examples of actual "unethical journalism". The "SJWs" don't exactly have a monopoly on fighting trivial issues.

Nah, conditions are still pretty ****ty in the legalized countries. The Nordic model is the way to go.

Australia. Why?

Expansion. What I mean is the modern (Western) left’s analyses and praxis is highly individualistic and highly submerged in the consumer mentality. Although they’ll certainly pay lip service to X oppressive structure their understanding of it comes from an ultra-liberal idealist perspective so they inevitably always focus on how this effects the individual and more importantly how the individual chooses to respond to this. This is where we get tumblr po-mo nonsense like “agency” and free choices which leads to ridiculous positions like support for institutions such as prostitution or pornography and support for acts like beating and strangling your girl-friend. There are of course those who are somewhat more radical and they’ll highlight that such choices are not free but due to being ignorant of or rejecting the existence of a societal “superstructure” they will then fall back on liberal tactics where they try to challenge them through consumer habits and consumer “shaming”. Another example would be the modern “gender” and “social justice” movements. Gender, rather than being a social construct, a hierarchy or what have you is now a way for the individual to express their own individual style and is an expression of your own agency. Rather than examining what creates and reinforces gender, what purpose it fills and who it harms and benefits the modern leftist instead focuses on “finding which gender fits best” which tends to mean buying a bunch of products and then throwing a label on it. Likewise with “social justice” the emphasis seems to be less concerned hammering out concrete tactics to challenge the existing power structure and more focused on “performance”. I.e. Wearing the right clothes, drinking the right coffees, buying from the right people and shaming those who don’t . Rather than being a movement for liberation and challenging the status-quo modern leftism has reduced itself to a commodity which one can buy to portray an image of uniqueness and individuality. Honestly this is pretty rambley, but what do you expect it’s nearly half past one in the morning here.

Assuming I' reading correctly, that's what I meant; it represented a massive break from academic Marxism. I'll expand what I mean in relation to modern leftism in a bit. Making dinner.

You do realise the post-modern "there is no absolute truth, only subjectivity" **** represents a massive break from the previous Marxist traditions and has only spawned ideologies and movements that reinforce neo-liberal dogma.

Wow, I was way off.

Is that Johnny Cage?

Will work well with my priest of Skaen.

I had literally never heard of "Bloodborne" until this thread.

Weebooism is a precursor to tumblrism.

Yes. It has a single player campaign called Squadron 42.

I mean when people say "African American" when they mean black or African.

I know, just a pet peeve of mine.

Although not Obsidian Josh Sawyer did back Sarkeesian. Black =/= African American.
