To counterbalance and take the opposite side for a moment (yeah, throw tomatoes at me ^o^):

I've seen through Twitter that Reaxxion creator (Roosh) has written quite a piece on rape on his blog...
http://wehuntedthemammoth.com/2015/02/17/pickup-guru-roosh-v-end-rape-by-making-it-legal/
ORIGINAL: http://www.rooshv.com/how-to-stop-rape

TLDR: rape should be legal so girls/women would act responsibly, not get drunk/drugged to get fucked and playing the "victim" card afterwards due to "buyer's remorse" (lol, I remember the PUA lingo from 15 years ago)

Needless to say this train of thought screams "desperate with women" from its author and is again bad publicity for GG (as Reaxxxion is mostly linked to)

I can't even take this fully seriously, because the guy's obviously deranged. Still, it's pretty darn despicable, and it frightens me to think there might actually be people who think like that.

I'm pretty sure this is a troll aritcle from Roosh. After all this was in the first paragraph "... so I carefully examined the articles on Salon, Buzzfeed, and Huffington Post that were written by professional journalists who pursue truth and justice over mass hysteria and delirium."

Roosh also had a video follow up.

Roosh is basically calling out the rape culture hysteria. Unfortunately he didn't do the best job.

Brasas is right, they may surprise you, though I suspect he was hoping for a more noble motivation than the one I'm about to provide - some parents have a way of compartmentalizing hypocrisy that allows them to continue their reign of homophobia while giving their own kids a pass.

I figured it was a such an attempt.

Here's something fun. Compare what MCV claims Jim Ryan said:

With what he actually said:

Incredibly dishonest and misleading.

In terms of "rape culture"

Yeah, I saw that video too before posting but his thinking is still awkward (not sure it's the right word as I don't speak English). BTW, when you read, his "welcome" post on Reaxxion, you can clearly see the guy has an agenda that has nothing to do with journalism ethics/policy (nor with games and even picking up girls...). He's just the MRA version of AS, better at antagonizing than uniting.....

(in fact, re-reading this welcome post makes it full of "tweetable" quotes, duh....)

No spit ...
The mother was a bit of a control freak. And not enough choices for answers. I stopped when she asked "which one is the woman". There should have been a fourth choice like - "Ok. Thats it. I'm leaving!" And the way the text moved made me feel a little nauseous ... and is it really a game ...tic toc tic toc ... ;-)


Aaand ...

I know it's prob old news by now, but Jordan "Sarkessian Effect" Owen does a suprisingly good breakdown of the now notorious(ly bad)Law and Order anti-gaming propaganda ep.

It's a story where progression is directed by player action. It's very much a game. Whether you like it or not is another matter.

As for the mother throwing up... I actually didn't mind not having the final option of leaving. Since the player is meant to embody the free will of the PC to the extent that the PC is willing to take a certain course of action, it makes sense to not have certain options available. Here, the character is trying to either come out to both parents or stay in the closet; since the 'which one of you is the woman' thing happens before the father coming home, I can understand the character being reluctant to leave prior to interacting with the father.

My brain hurts now.

Sargon has a new gamergate video up.

tl:dr The Escapist removed some staff and will be working with Lizzyf620, Brandon Morse and Liana K. This is significant as Lizzyf620 and Brandon Morse are pro GG. (Lizzy left GG after she was doxxed) Liana K is a feminist but has critisized Anita's Tropes v Women. (So she is also a mysoginist. :-p) Liana has also debated Sargon on his channel.

siding with a side vowing for journalistic accuracy and against corruption makes a statement methinks
