I dont much about the website it just was the first thing Yahoo search found but that webpage does contain links from George R R Martin himself so I assume you aren't questioning that? No, I am talking about "themarysue" the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cirdanx Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Journalism should only be named that way when it provides both side of a story on a neutral manner laying out the facts and thus informing the people. You don´t find much of that in traditional media though. Of course, there is no such thing like real objectivity. There will always be a little bit of bias in one way or another because a human being wrote it, and no matter how objective you try to be there will always be an influence from your personality. Which can be a good thing. If we rule out biased coverage of media we can still find a lot of mostly objective reviews/first looks etc for games thanks to the internet/youtube. There is something for everyone which is a good thing. "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, the man who never reads lives one."

Lexx Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 So now I had to google the name as well. Is this another transgender person? Makes me wonder why there seem to be so many in this event thingy that is going on. Is it just because they are making so much noise or what? Or is it true what some girl on Reddit a while ago wrote "it's mostly men who want to be women complaining about men"? Pls someone enlighten me.

But i would speculate trangenders (why is 'tranny' a slur? it's just a shorter and easier word?!) automatically congregate since this is mostly about identity and gender politics.

evensong Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (why is 'tranny' a slur? it's just a shorter and easier word?!) It used to be perfectly acceptable, even a preferred term of reference, but it's gone through a couple of rounds on the euphemism treadmill, basically. Here's an old piece by Steven Pinker explaining the concept of the euphemism treadmill. "People invent new "polite" words to refer to emotionally laden or distasteful things, but the euphemism becomes tainted by association and the new one that must be found acquires its own negative connotations. … The euphemism treadmill shows that concepts, not words, are in charge. Give a concept a new name, and the name becomes colored by the concept; the concept does not become freshened by the name. (We will know we have achieved equality and mutual respect when names for minorities stay put.)" 1 "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." -Marcus Aurelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
