Anyway, to get back on topic....

KasperHviid: Once, against my better judgement, I clicked into the thread ‘Belgium under terrorist attack :(’. Yup, plenty of racist nutters inside.
...when I first read this title and saw this line, I thought you were going to start abstaining from those toxic political threads. That's probably the smartest move.

zeogold: Hugs? I think you're looking for the conversational free-for-all thread.

omega64: Now to create the controversial free for all thread. :p
I thought that was the #GamersGate thread.

No, then it's no longer a free-for-all thread. It immediately becomes a social justice thread.

Meh I've seen him do quicker. I'd say 5 on average. All it needs is for one person to take the bait.

On average? O_o

dtgreene: Actually, it is clearly gender specific, as "brofist" easily comes from "Bro". "man" and "dude" are also gender specific, and therefore exclusionary, and there is no reason to use those terms anyway.
If guys can be feminists (a gender specific word!), then girls can be dudes and bros. Seems pretty equal.

One of my favorite copypastas, though I've never seen that variant. Still amazing.

This, of course, assumes that they themselves choose the label. Using a term like "feminist" as an insult is not OK; however, identifying as a feminist (regardless of what gender you identify as) is OK, as is calling such people "feminists". Self identity is an important thing, more than most people realize.

I bet Omega that this would be the only post that dtgreene would reply to, while ignoring everybody's comments about him.
I was right.

You failed to consider the fact that I just had to go out just now.

Also, I am not a "he" or "him", so please don't refer to me as such.

Actually, no. You just happen to be only looking at some topics; in particular, in topics about game design that I post in, it doesn't tend to become political.

So calling them feminist is ok if they call themselves feminists but only if it's not meant as an insult? Great.

Don't ignore everyone's posts we're all friends here right? ;)
