Keldroc: "Persistent courting" is the definition of harassment, regardless of the outcome. Yes, sometimes harassing someone will get you what you want. That doesn't make it a good idea or an acceptable behavior.

Djaron: and what about puppeting/manipulating target's friends so they act as your personal army to speak to target on your behalf anddrive target into dating you ?

doest it falls in what you call either "persistent courting" or "harassement" ?

i ask about it to such an expert as you are, as i felt victim for such trick because of someone who tricked my friends into pressuring me to date this someone
i dont call that harassement, i call that sick and disgusting selfish manipulating scam ! and i only figured out the whole stuff afterwards
what should i ever expect from soneone that is ready to go that far to chase after personal little selfish delusion dreams/fantasy/wants ? (without second thought to the target except for reducing it to a simple object or token of one's own fantasies)

since then i never let anyone getting close to me in fear of being tricked a second time because as the saying goes, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
since last two decades i had been fortifying my life against any intrusion or siege attempt and now i accepted the idea of dying alone and unmissed. Because it's too late to undo it and go backwards.

don't BS me with your little "persistent courting is rape" thing ok ?
Firstly, they didn't say that 'persistent courting' was rape.

Secondly what happened to you is also horrible for the exact same reason; it's pressure that ultimately ignores what the person wants. You didn't want to date this person, but people pressured you into doing so; that's fucked up. Likewise, it's also fucked up if you keep trying to force yourself on to someone when they do not want you.

That right there is real committal to diversity. People who want to use the ''too sexy'' cards can do it and those who don't can ignore it.
Oh well, almost everyone is low rated here, I give everyone +1 in this page to make up for it.

I bring news,

A judge has ordered 90 per cent of a couple's assets to the housewife in a victory that should be celebrated

I am sure all the men are so very eager to marry after this.

So, does this mean that even when feminist say that all womens are independent and perfectly capable of providing for themselves...a judge decide that because she can't earn enough money because....meh, her ex-husband MUST still support her, and somehow that's a victory for everything feminist stand for?

Hypocrisy at it's finest i see, nice

I am sure that if the opposite would have happened...wait, it would never happen, after all if a men cannot support himself anymore it's his own fault, but if a woman can't somehow is still the man fault;

You know, if the ex-wife cannot support herself, WHY SHE GOT THE CUSTODY OF HER CHILD IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

Also i really liked how the "judge" said at the end, he can surely rebuild his finances; yes i am sure he can, while he live in his car, if he still have that, and work 16 hours a day only to reach the end of the month, that or risk to live in a park somewhere using the public fountain to wash his teeth in the morning and charity just to eat twice a day

He may be the richest man in the world and still be perfectly fine after this shite this is still bullshit

90 fu'@#ng percent, can he still have underwear at least, or she want those too

that's one of those things made reality by past feminists IMHO (custody before that used to go to the breadwinner) that current feminists consider (or at least say) is part of "patriarchy"

Sorry, I did not give full information, he did not even get the 10% The pro 90% website choose to omit several important facts.

Another judge, Judith Hughes QC, ordered the husband last July to pay £77,000 for unpaid maintenance and other debts “from his share”, effectively leaving him with nothing from the marriage.

Also he is 51 years old. yeah sure very substantially larger earning capacity into the future

I don't know when, but now it is assumed that the husband contribute nothing to the marriage. If both contribute equally, neither husband nor wife need to pay each other.

The government always let the wife get child custody because it is always impossible to get child support money from the wife.

They just find the most effective way to get the MAXIMUM money. Do you know the divorce industry get 50 to 175 Billion a year? They cannot do that by giving the husband child custody.
The husband is not up against the crazy wife alone, but a whole industry of money grabbers. Little chance he can win and why feminist gain so much support. They make good money.

It will avoid those strange stories, also you help humanity in a SJW compliant way because then you also avoid giving birth to a (oh the horror) male child...

and more seriously, there are already many orphan or abandonned child who could use a home and one caring parent (if not both, but lets say one at least) so why keep insisting on making new ones already with someone who would potentially break up with you ?

So...ahem, while I step into uncomfortable territory, could someone explain the whole Alison Rapp situation? Was she fired from Nintendo seriously for doing softcore shoots?

It's uncomfortable territory because there are accusations that she got canned because Nintendo took a tip from Gaters. :V

if the game is good, i dont give a damn about the pictures on it... if the pictures are well drawn (graphic style, technic...) i dont care what they do represent or display... if what they display anyway also pleases me it's an unexpected bonus

boardgame club fellow of mine began to completely retheme the game "splendor" with pictures from a rather "sexy looking" mobile tcg game from korea :) can be good because even if splendor is fun game, the visual are just pretty dull...
I like to play barbarossa and kanzume godess, not because of the pictures on the cards (can go to 4chan's /b for worse anytime for free) but because they are damn good deckbuilding boardgames, and i play a lot of them already...

i honnestly dont know but it could al:so only be related to nintendo's core marketing target and company image against the stance miss Rapp publicly took/spoke regarding pedophilia and child pornography...

could be a "relevant" concern for a firm like nintendo which whole public image is base on family friendly products mostly and heavy (but not exclusive) child/young players market-target and audience...

(source https://medium.com/@jkellytwit/nintendo-s-public-relations-employee-alison-rapp-now-vocal-for-pedophiles-656f9965c6e9#.dp4au0xuo though i dont know this website, it was 1st google search entry when just googling "alison rapp" without any additional keyword so blame the site or google if you dislike the article or if your own sources tells a different story)

Apparently, the "official" word is that Alison was let go due to having a second job. But I'm hearing if it was anyone it would be the Wayne foundation at the forefront of getting Nintendo involved.

I just saw the updated thread go live on Gaf with the story so far. I'm not sure what to make of the decision.

I understand that she was in PR, which means she could have been fired for any number of reasons. I have heard talk of her being a cam girl, that her college thesis was pro pedo, that she made pro pedo comments on twitter and that she also made other politically charged comments on twitter. All of this while marketing herself as Nintendo PR.

Probably her biggest mistake was thinking she could voice an opinion that was not Nintendo approved. When you are in PR you parrot the company lines and make other safe comments. Things like "I like kittens" and "look at the beautiful sunset out my window." That is what the job is.

Unless you're a dog breeder or an astronomer. I did see a picture of her posting in a bed in lingerie with a Nintendo product. But if I were Nintendo, and not an obstinately conservative company that doesn't realize that kids don't have two quarters to rub between their fingers, I'd realize that this picture could do the company image a lot of good. An adult, willing to be seen with one of their own products, in a photoshoot.

Of course this company is also tone deaf, seeing as they have a game where the objective is to make clothing explode off of anime girls and a waifu dating simulator disguised as a tactical strategy RPG.
I don't like the outline of the whole Rapp thing. It was NOT a victory. If she was fired because of what Nintendo said, then it was not a victory, and if it was because of the Wayne foundation (Which makes me think of Batman) then it was because GG lowered to the AGG levels and made sure she was punished for wrongthink.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am against child pornography. I am not against underage sexuality, but the monetization of it is totally wrong, and sexuality in prepubescent minors should be something between children, not something recorded on camera, packed, and sold to some shady guy on the deep web. But still making sure she got fired and using something very stupid she said to do so is something SJWs do.

Of course it could be that Nintendo noticed the tweets attacking gamers and advocating censorship as well as other stuff she published as their PR and they decided to cut her because she was doing a shitty job. But getting the Wayne foundation involved was using the same methods SJWs use.

Edit: And for what? There is still censorship, feminazis and SJWs are not gone for good, the actual localization team got away with butchering FE and other games, things stayed the same except that an idiot got fired. Nobody won, and I get the feeling everyone lost.

Man, you make it sound as if those games were a bad thing. But you know what? She did so many stupid things as PR that Nintendo had a good reason to fire her even without Wayne foundation getting involved and without her cheese pizza thesis. If I was a Nintendo exec I would have shown her the door right after she began to post about intersectional feminism on behalf of Nintendo because Nintendo sells games, not feminism, especially not intersectional feminism.

LeonardoCornejo: -snop-
So basically, she was already on borrowed time, but Nintendo could have dismissed her with far better timing and reasoning?

As for the games, I'm in a bit of a snarky mood because Nintendo tries to act like it's a kid friendly company when as another example, crashing the moon into a town, and ripping out the eye to shoot blood at you as an attack.

And those were E rated. :V
