If I was a troll wouldn't I have joined this forum after Gamergate started rather than a year before? Also I don't think an article by someone with very limited experience in the games industry is going to change my mind.

Right, ignore all the links the article cites. Completely dismiss it in its entirety because it was written by someone you claim has limited experience. Because you know so much better than the author. Nah, its still trolling and contrived excuses in favor of your "side".

Dismissing anything contrary to your own preconceived notions with flimsy excuses, does not a conversation make...

yumyalls: With #TPP just around the corner i'm surprised people are not talking about it more. Freedom of speech online 'and expression including our mods' and Food quality standards are going bye-bye if it passes.
Seems semi-related to this thread since the UN are using Gamergate and hurt Professional victims as a cover to help old media get a stranglehold on the internet as of late.
I know. the TPP worries me too, and nobody seems to push against it even though it curbs free speech and net neutrality.

True that, and it sometimes even spreads to anti SJWs who behave like sjws. I was banned from a supposed anti SJW page in facebook for saying that criminalizing love relationships with mature teenagers (Someone arround 16 to 17) while someone magically turns legal overnight by becoming 18 made no sense.

And anti SJW trans people are just as bad as SJWs most of the time, because you can't say anything un PC about them or else you get the boot.
As I have constantly posted I have a very un PC view on transgenders and made up genders. You can't even have your own opinion nowadays. And I have seen many anti SJWs being treated like shit by peers for saying they are neutral to the whole circumcision or abortion debate. It seems group mentality and collectivism make you an SJW no matter the side.

Just a few bits of info about above mentioned. But it's all tinfoil paranoid fantasy right?

TPP explained

Big Picture (sorry [227])

TPP being fast-tracked

Agenda 2030 (that's the UN name for it)

And is that Joaquim "Commodus" Phoenix in the pic? '...Maximus ... Maximus ... Maximus ... " X-D

They're at their worst when they're policing their own. If there's anything quasi-religious fanatics hate more than unbelievers it's "heretics" within their cult. Check any face book or twit conflicts between sjws - one of them departs from doctrine and its dog-pile, open season, no mercy all around.

I remember when I questioned a MGTOW because he took the extreme stance of distrusting all women, he called me a feminist. Can you believe that? It is funny to see that sometimes anti SJWs become so fanatic too that they would do the same. Of course it is less common than with SJWs, but still happens. Fanatism is dangerous and unhealthy. As a left leaning friend of mine says. If what you or your group does starts to resemble what religious cults do, it is time to stop and reconsider the path you have taken.

God, I am glad nobody asks me about my stance on the age of consent laws in my country so often or I would have a bounty on my head from both camps.

The fun part is that suddenly my rep went from 22 or 23 to 19 not so long after posting this, and your post, which in my opinion is reasonable, is marked as "Low rated". I bet the downrep ghost is back.

You're committing the unforgivable sin of thinking for yourself. Individualism is a mortal enemy to those who support group think. Think about political correctness for a second. Someone might say, 'it's not ok to call that person that name. We know it's wrong to do so.' Ah... so many problems with that concept. Most importantly, who's WE? Exactly which man (or woman) passed the mandate for that new social rule? Who designs the rules for what and isn't acceptable to call someone or how to view others? At least religious nuts have an invisible man up in the clouds to follow. Political correctness dictates just like religion, but without any moral compass or even set tablet of laws. It's hard and fast rules, dictated by whichever loud mouthed, thin skinned college kid happens to embrace it at the moment. Essentially, political correctness is a nebulous mixed bag of hysteria, jumbled concepts, and subjective opinions - all blendered up and meant to masquerade as concrete truths. And if you oppose that, you can be ridiculed today... who knows, maybe even sent to prison for it one day. The ministry of truth is being built as we speak.

That left leaning friend of yours is actually quite correct. Our ability to think for ourselves becomes mired in slogans, group memberships, and personal and professional compromises. Usually when we find our viewpoint or lifestyle being imprinted on others and great success happening, that's when we need to step back and wonder if maybe... just maybe we had to step on someone else's shoes to get to our lofty heights, or maybe that by exercising our own liberties, we ended up sacrificing someone else's.

We can find peace in that when we know that at the very least we thought for ourselves and tried to do what was right. Most people would just assume that to be an obvious statement, but in fact introspection is probably more rare than we think. I think most SJWs probably think they're doing the right thing, but many of them lack the ability to analyze or critique it in any way, mainly because there's an epidemic of people who suffer from having very little SELF-AWARENESS. We're dangerously close to having a quasi-religious/political cult on our hands, especially with these armies of impressionable youth. When spouting rhetoric and fighting on the internet, we tend to laugh it off. God help us when/if these people ever get real power one day. Utopias can turn into Dystopias pretty fast.

These are great. It's also pretty ironic to see "minority" countries taking a piss on sjw ideologies.

Yup. All this seems like a really bad joke from a rational perspective, which they seem to have.

Yes, because one Youtube video made by a small group of people from a different county is clearly representative the widespread rejection of the great SJW menace.

And because one stupid trolling jerk making this claim means a damn thing...

Poo poo all you like, you just prove the point that so many of these SJW's like you are just unintelligent trolls with nothing to contribute to any conversation.

At the very least it shows how even other countries are starting to see how stupid and contradictory the SJW movement is...

You say the SJW movment is stupid, and contradictory. Then why do this thread treat them as such a threat when ignoring them would be more productive?

Fairly interesting discussion between Needle Drop (music reviewer) and Sargon of Akkad (social commentator, apparently), mainly on individualism v. collectivism, current us politics and sjw's but also touching on gamergate a few times.
