What exactly are they trying to achieve with that? Truly first world problems.

I liked that because I thought you were being ironic, but the stuff I find browsing Twitter is making me doubt that. You were joking, right?

 

Well, I was thinking of petitioning the Powers That Be here to get rid of white lettering so I could have letters of colour on a background of colour instead of having the important parts of the forum be near uniformly privileged and hegemonic white.

 

(yep, somebody out there doubtless would think that unironically. Though they really shouldn't use twitter if they do since its default colour schemes involve lots of white as well)

Well, who cares really, Polygon these days lives of click&bait articles to stay alive. Nothing worth reading there. If more people would just ignore that crap they would have to close, which will happen one day anyway.

She's an evil sexist piece of crap. That's old news. Then again, she doesn't even have that high of an opinion on women who she views as weak, pathetic, childlike, whom need to be babysat and enslaved because of their 'internalize misogny'. L0L

Harry Partridge was one of my favourite youtubers already, and that upped his status even more.

New study finds no link between gaming and sexist attitudes, implying that cultivation theory is incorrect or at least doesn't apply to video games

But they don't claim that gaming causes sexist attitudes, they claim that society causes sexist attitudes and media can affect people's attitudes, so therefore games can stimulate sexism that already existed. Of which there is no proof of either, just giving you guys a heads up in case you get in an argument and someone tries to weasel. Taking to task the non-argument "media affects people" is a good opening salvo I've found, also remember you are arguing from a position of strength when asking them to prove their claims if you claim not to have seen enough evidence to support their hypothesis.

"Media affects people. But it doesn't affect people in any way we are willing to meaningfully define. Because then we will have to answer to that".

 

Ok, got it...

The key is to be very vague about what you mean in order to avoid admitting you've said something stupid.

In other news, the Honey Badgers, a group of women, were kicked out of the CalgaryExpo for gamergate art on display. The above was the evidence used to show that it was a plan to infiltrate a community they had been a part of for decades. The irony of SJWs getting women kicked out of a convention is also hilarious in a sad way.

I'm telling SJWs are the mostr acist and sexist group.  Not surprising. It's run mostly by prvieldedged white men half of whom are now women. But, inside, they are still white men, therefore, by SJW definition, they are racist, sexist, rapist scumbags. :)

I just don't understand how SJWs can justify that for themselves. They kicked out women, because they were anti-censorship. Doesn't it go against all SJWs say they stand for? How can you still stand on moral high ground after that?
