Djaron: oh btw... not so related but tonite at evening news i heard some folks here in my country saying cheek-kissing women coworkers to greet them on working day was sexist as it was an obvious difference of treatment from male coworkers...

well, i'm not sure all those fine ladies are ready for my hugbear spinebreaking embrace i used to welcome my work fellows with... but, sure, if you feels like it is less offensive and discriminating, i'm fine with it and i happen to know a very competent kinesitherapist if needed.
Do be careful...

If "arm around shoulder" is "ownership" a bearhug may be considered "violence towards women"

That's odd. I recall women e.g. "hugging" my arm when we were walking, either with one or sometimes even with two arms. Isn't that a similar case of showing ownership, telling other ladies to stay away? Or some like to keep their arm on the waist. Women don't often put their arm around guy's shoulder due to the height difference.

My wife also seems very strict that I always have the ring in my finger (I only take it off if I am going to e.g. swim, just in case). The bastard!

Not to mention that quite many girls seem to like or even expect their boyfriends to be protective towards them, and even show it to the world. If a girl doesn't like an arm around her shoulders she should definitely say so. But unlike Mirren seems to believe, I think women don't generally mind it or even like it, seeing it as a form of affection.

Plus, it is mainly a thing for fresh new relationships anyway so if it is some kind of "problem", then it usually goes away when the couple has been together for awhile. Amount of kissing also tends to go lower over time.

People like Mirren give feminism its negative reputation, seeing gender inequality in silly places.

lol Ghazi paid that dipshit wiki editor for his fine work on the wikipedia page concerning the willful misinterpretation of their enemy : https://archive.is/NdxXM , https://archive.is/NdxXM , https://archive.is/MuJSt

Yeah they claim there's a cis hetro patriarchy working against them and they struggle for everything to protect minorities. lol what actual garbage is this? Paying a guy who willfully factually misinterpreted a group you don't like?

Also, @Vain; argument ended again? Or were you offline? Should I continue?

Wedding rings are all about ownership. Wearing a wedding ring means you belong to somebody else. In places like China that's more obvious as married people may wear an engagement ring, wedding band or nothing at all after they're married depending upon specific circumstances. It confused me at first, but eventually I understood that marriage as a concept over there is even less homogeneous than it is in the US.

And BTW, swimming is a good time to remove it, but any time you're working with your hands around machinery and similar you should remove it as well. The last thing you want is to lose the finger because the ring got caught on something and ripped away the skin.

Also, it's a good idea to get the ring resized from time to time if needed.
OH! Again, we start 2016 with FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, and this uber-amazing Rights-Warriors fighting to save the world from the evil influence of Rock Music, Violent Movies and Pixels...

Hold your iPADs, wield your Smartphones, hit your keyboards!! The great battle for humankind is here, in my f... chair, at home, IN THE INTERNET!!

It is happening now, prepare your eyes for the anti-violence treatment!

Well hey hey Goggers and G'gaters and ... um, other creatures. Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here's one for the road ...


The two James - Corbet and Evan-Pilato - look back at 2015. (Tin-Foiler Alert!)

Scientists declare: "You're too stupid for democracy! Yes, you there."

Ethan Krupp wins puchable shitlib of the year.

Buzzfeed feeds the American Alt-Right.

Europe swings to the Alt-Right. Shocking! :^O

Alt-Right talks video games. Even G'gate gets a mention, once or twice.

Banned from GamerGhazi again; this time I got in like 7 posts in and they seemed to be up to talk but the pedo mods banned me and someone thought thought I was European. They seem to support Milo's right to speak, which is good I guess.............

At least it started a conversation on why us neckbeard harassers are considered vermin on there right?

So I take it Vain has scooted again and I don't need to look for points in advance? Like; you always complain about tone and never care to elaborate or respect the opponent.

Vainamoinen: The only thing I'm reading in here is that apparently you seem to think that nazism endorsed free thought and welcomed the social sciences, and apparently I'm making a capital mistake, bordering on mind control, in embracing free thought as well as the social sciences.

HINT: You've been thoroughly misinformed. Maybe have a look at the authors the books of whom the nazis burnt and what those authors stood for before embarassing yourself with such comparisons? Start out with Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Erich Maria Remarque and Kurt Tucholsky. Oh, oh, no wait, start with Berthold Brecht, read the Caucasian Chalk Circle!! Doesn't take long. Man, the nazis really hated those people. And damn do I know why.

HINT2: Sorry but you're coming across a bit racist. Just sayin'.
First of all please don't put a new response into an old post since the person you are responding to won't get notified about your reply.

Secondly keep in mind that the word "vigilant" means to keep an eye out for or be watchful of - it's not inherently bad or negative word.

Thirdly there is a good reason why SJWs or radical feminism is often referred to as feminazis and that is because they use the same kind of censorship and silencing of opposing views that the nazis did in the sense of trying to scare the opponent.. Just like the nazis had big book burnings so to do the SJWs want to ban or burn the types of media they don't like such as video games like Hatred, DOA Extreme, GTA etc. That is why people speak out against the feminazis BECAUSE they censor stuff and try to bully all that disagree with them by calling people racist, misogynist and so on when you try to engage them in civil debate. As for the authors you name I have read them all except one and loved most of their work. As for you calling me a racist you are gonna have to explain that better since there was nothing about race in my post (Germans are not a race but a people).

Like I said in my first post then I am against bullying in ANY form. I have nothing against people that have a different point of view than me and I even welcome it but I will never accept bullying or harassment of people and will speak out against anyone who try to do that. So don't go around and accuse people of racism and don't deliberately misread what someone is saying. If you have a position to argue then do that but keep the debate fair and balanced. If you don't then there is no point in a debate.

TStael: Very classy, I might say, slightly sarcastically. ;-)

But I asked the OP quite earnestly. I want to know if he/she is up for it. And in case you want to make an earnest point yerself, I will listen.
avatar
Shadowstalker16: That was kinda earnest. The OP is more than a year old. The thing started many wolf moons ago and this is a news thread where news is sometimes posted. This thread was made for news posting and the first two were the discussion threads at the time. But they both died out and this one didn't. So yah; that is the gist of it.
I appreciate yer amicable gist of the education. Thank you, Swadowstalker16.

I also like what is topical, rest assured, yet: this never has made me think less of the source-criticality, rather the contrary.

Should a thread be OP'ed a year ago, should a thread be replied to four weeks ago, or more, or less - it makes no objective difference if the stated position is meritorious or not. Or does it, to you?

If source references of an OP do not last a year - I draw the conclusion that the OP could not find strong source references to begin with. But also - I ask the OP the repost, to allow me to rethink.

Nah; I think when this thread was started, he was just trying to make a balanced thread to discuss news with primary gamergate discussion being in the other threads. Either way, sources can become relevant and irrelevant as new info comes up, so keep that in mind before assessing the reliability of one based on how long it was considered to be valid.
Apparently An episode of Steven Universe had a part that was "localized" for the UK & Polygon is crying "Censorship!"

the scene is when Greg (Steven's dad) was making a music video with the Gems when he was younger (not a dad yet), Pearl & Rose Quartz do their fusion dance but on the UK version a part of it cut to Greg's guitar for a moment when the original had the two gems look lovingly into each other's eyes as they moved gracefully around

very minor detail, it shouldn't have warranted a cut, then again I stand for free creative expression.

You really can't make this shit up. Weeb games get cut apart by "localization" and those hacks laud it as manna from the heavens, but when the shit put out by some other hipster gets tinkered with it's not ok of course. Fuckign culture vultures.

Exactly what I was thinking. Westerners can't get lewd anime /Specially lolicon and shotacon) uncut, and if we do the "progressives" get angry, but we are forced to tolerate the things they like or else...

This has motivated me to make a video game with lolicon elements to tell the world "FUK YOU! I WILL DO WHAT I WANT!"

I also made some homosexual characters for other projects and i considered removing them because of "progressives" tarnishing the depiction of homosexuals. But my sister (Sort of a personal advisor and the brains in the team) told me I should not give up on my original content and curb my free speech to spite those idiots.

So yes, I will make a video game which everyone except for those who really support free speech will hate. A game with violence, homosexuals, lolicon, drugs, traditional and trully progressive values and everything in between (Except rape because I don't feel like depicting it).
