Re-read your post. You presented Bayonetta being marked down as an example of “unethical journalism”.

Multiple generations of living in poverty or near poverty. I'm not a fan. Out of curiosity, which state?

You're welcome to provide some statistics of the class make-up of the average stripper. Well of course. At its height feminism recognised the direct relation between class and sex and sought to liberate women from these chains. Unfortunately the feminist movement has been co-opted by neo-liberal ideology and watered down into a movement that rejects liberation from oppressive systems in favour of "expressing agency" within them. It's no surprise its the male pimps who sponsor this nonsense. (from what I've got on this laptop) 89% of women in the sex industry said they wanted to escape, but had no other means for survival And from the same study: 73% of women in prostitution have been raped more than five times

And yet this was your starting point. This is what it will snowball from. This is so-called “unethical” journalism. All this example shows (which is painfully obvious) is that GG is just people getting pissy about the “SJW agenda" in game’s journalism. It is why the “opposing side” consists primarily of self-proclaimed “SJWs” and its why 90% of GG discussion is merely MRA styled hissy-fits about feminism/Anita Sarkeesian. Like I said before, had the various news outlets that covered this stupid fluff piece uncritically condemned the “anti-GG” I’m confident “Gamergaters” would not be filled with the same self-righteous fury. It's curious that those who "choose" to do the job seem to almost entirely come from people with the fewest choices.

Here we go. I’m sorry THIS is the biggest fault in news media at the moment? Someone had the audacity to give a review of a videogame, and you don’t agree with it? THAT’S what we’re going to snowball from!? Could you be any more painfully transparent. And I’m confident had this story uncritically condemned the “anti-GG” side you would be filled with equally self-righteous fury.

Lol

And I wasn't arguing Bruce's point. I was merely using Malcador's quote to clarify my own position.

Of course not. Poor representation of females and minorities is indeed an issue, a much greater one then "Ethics in Game's Journalism". My issue with anti-GG is their praxis and how they waste so much focus and potential collective action on trying to fix one issue that's symptomatic of much larger issues. Combat the big issues and the smaller issues will follow suit.

Well that's not what I was getting at all.

And said side is comparing discussions with "the opposition" to some kind of military cease-fire or truce. Its all quite melodramatic. A tendency common to both sides.

Sure it does.

It was the easiest way to sum up the whole GG/anti-GG thing in as derisive a way as possible. I suppose "videogames are serious business" would have also sufficed.

I keep my expectations low. "Ethics in Game's Journalism" is serious business.

You were projecting.

You're clearly too tired. The "feminism has gone too far" line exists outside the hyphenated points and is a sarcastic remark being made in reference to how "accommodating" the previous three points were.

I'd love to hear what Wu meant by this.

Mum: Namu, honey, clean your room. Namutree: FASCIST!

Edgy liberals from what I can tell.

Leaving the internet alone is the best solution. The internet is awesome as it is. Lets not get carried away.

I like these.

....what? Off the top of my head. Iran: 1953 Syria: 1957 Iraq: 1990-1 Afghanistan: 1979-92 I was going to go into some detail with these examples but come on, seriously !? EDIT: I've got some free time tomorrow, maybe I'll write something then.

I'm not up to date on my "flag etiquette" but I'm pretty sure the "official stance" is when its damaged (e.g. tattered or covered in mud) you're meant to burn it.

It's strange (although not surprising) how often I see WWI; the war that killed 15,000,000+ people, the war that caused the collapse of 4 major European powers, and the war that led to an explosion of revolutionary fervour that completely reshaped the global landscape, reduced to simply being a consequence of vague and outdated notions of glory & nationalism (or worse simply because of a series of treaty obligations after an assassination). In reality it was an imperialist war between two blocs hoping to redivide a divided world (i.e. the repartition of colonies, spheres of influence and spheres of influence for the investment of capital) in a way that satisfied their own ruling few at home.

Never forget.

I've yet to hear an explanation of pan-sexuality that doesn't sound like complete bull****.
