    How can "gamers" and "social justice warriors" get along?

    You can be a gamer and an SJW. OT: I don't think gamers and SJWs can get along if gamers don't want to be SJWs because SJWs hate people that don't want to be SJWs. Why wouldn't you hate someone that doesn't want things to change for the better?

    Blizzard Dev Offers Apology for Response to Sexualization Question

    Yeah that's just an example of internalized misogyny. Are you trying to say it's okay because they're supposed to exclude women? If half of gamers are women and developers are ignoring that to target only men, despite it being the complete opposite of a good business model, then that's just...

    Blizzard Dev Offers Apology for Response to Sexualization Question

    Eurgh I hate commenting about things like this on the Escapist because I know there's just no way some of the people on here are ever going to change their mind or be willing to learn something. Anyway, I've played WoW for a few years and now I play LoL, I'm a gamer and a nerd. Many people...

    The most awful thing you've ever actually done to someone during online play

    In a game of League of Legends I once noticed someone had a Game of Thrones summoner name and proceeded to type spoilers in all chat every time I died.

    If you were a Pokémon...

    Ditto. A thousand times Ditto. Gee I really hope I'm the first one to say Ditto because /thread; the answer is Ditto.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    I think it's only racist if you say "I will never date -insert ethnicity-." but I don't think it's racist if you're naturally not attracted to a specific race.

    What's the most boring book you've ever read?

    The Catcher in the Rye. Christ, fuck that book. Pretty surprised by some of the books people are mentioning here though, To Kill a Mockingbird and 1984? I could read them a hundred times, just wow.

    Tropes vs Women SECOND VIDEO - "Damsel in Distress: Part 2"

    I agree so hard with you right here! I keep thinking that the term feminism gives some people the wrong idea about feminism but every time I want to use Equalist instead all I can think of is getting my bending taken away. OT: Anita pisses me off. Her voice, her face, her big hoops, her...

    Rampant nerd fanboyism you want to beat with a stick.

    I've heard Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber therefore all music is shit. I've watched Godfather 3 and Spider-man 3 therefore all films are shit. I've played Other M and Action 52 therefore all games are shit. I've read Moll Flanders and The Bell Jar therefore all books are shit. A...

    You're gonna die today , any regrets ?

    I regret not being nicer to people in the past and a lot of the other oversights that came with youth. Other than that I don't really regret anything but if I could go back in time and change some things I would.

    The weirdest ship (ship-dom(?)) you've ever encountered?

    Pretty standard question. I've only just been exposed to the full extent and hubris of shipping and I've seen it can be far more twisted and deranged than just the classic JokerxBatman ship. Something I've recently discovered from Game of Thrones is Thramsey (TheonxRamsey) which almost had...

    Princss Bubblegum

    I'm thinking of her treatment of Princess Cookie, Ice King, The Duke of Nuts etc. she doesn't give people the chance to explain themselves, she's tried to conquer death four times now and she clearly has some screws loose - thinking of the mermaids and Pepbut here. I call Marcy liberal rather...

    Princss Bubblegum

    Hahaha, that's a very good point. She does seem to have some kind of God-complex which is probably why she clashes with Marceline so much who seems to be a lot more liberal. I wonder if PB could ever stray into villainous territory. I'd say she's chaotic good at the moment it would be nice to...

    Is 'The C Word' Sexist?

    Well I use the word **** to refer to men and women as much as I use the word dick to refer to men and women. Seems pretty equal to me. EDIT: Also I wrote a dissertation on insulting language for my linguistics course and it concluded that the syllables that make up a word are actually what...

    Michael Bay Apologizes For Armageddon

    I actually don't mind Michael Bay. I like the over-dramatic action; it's a laugh. Nothing he does is going to leave any lasting memories but his movies are still fun, in my opinion. Queue no one ever taking me seriously on The Escapist again.
