    Poll: Would you take a pill that makes you bisexual?

    If someone made me asexual? As in, some brain surgery or someone did something me medically to make me asexual? I dont know to be honest. I probably would because I regard it to be closer to my current state if I have a sexuality as opposed to not having one - but it would be a band-aid and...

    Poll: Would you take a pill that makes you bisexual?

    Hell no, Im happy with who I am and it is a little saddening to think that someone would think its a good idea to take any kind of medication, fictional or not, to try and change your sexual orientation - regardless if it is Dr Kellogg trying to cure homosexuality or some pill trying to change...

    Don't hit a girl?

    Gender equality. Pure and simple as that. If I am assaulted, I will defend myself regardless of my assailants gender. Since I am a rather strong guy, I´d most likely not want to hit anyone regardless of gender but I would not mind immobilizing my assailant with whatever means are nessecary -...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    Good and fair point I must admit. I think many people are caught up massively in the AAA business and completely seem to ignore the smaller scale which makes quite a decent living on much much leaner means. Anitas kickstarter funds alone should easily pay for the creation of 1 game done in a...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    If i felt strongly for it and worked the better part of my life against it, I would take whatever action I was reasonably able to take against it. Being a poor student I would try and collect signatures, being a well off banker I would donate money to whomever was combating it in a financial way...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    "Academically" is a pretty strong word for someone so clearly caught up in information bias that she named her entire project after what she was expecting to find. I understand your post but i also belive it ignores the vast problems she encounters when looking at her points in an academic...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    I thank you for your kind words and await your actual arguments with anticipitation. The fact that I share his views on that particular topic changes nothing. If he has the views, belives them to be right and has the possibilities to change them then he should act on it. Period. Edit: Also...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    *** Removed this first sentence because of peoples inability to read on and set it into context *** If he thinks he could do better for the consumer and still make money, it would make a lot of money, a lot of consumer goodwill and eventually a very successful publishing company which could...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    I definatly think there should be discussion and debate but it shouldnt be dominated by one group calling people who disagree with the "bigots". It should be dominated by facts and the people in those groups who have the means to make a difference they think should be present should actually get...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    I have no idea why you added that last line and I find it sexist. I never said I disagreed with her based on her gender - I said I disagreed with her based on her points and her inability to follow her own logic. That said, I have been helping in the development of dota 1 and the transition to...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    I am not interested in making youtube videos and I am quite capable of finding what I like there and ignoring what I dont. What I would prefer though is that you dont call me hypocritical or ignorant - I have made my case, supported it with arguments, none of which are fallacies to the best of...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    I actively vote and I dont have the assets to set aside time to run for office if I had the possibility. If I did have, I´d most definatly run for office because there are things I´d love to change. The main key word here is "possibility" though.I recognize many people dont have the chance to...

    Serious question for feminist critique of video games

    I have been wondering the last few years why feminists like Sarkeesian complain that much about womens roles in video games. If she is so much against it and know so many other people are also against the way women are portrayed in video games, why doesnt she just become a video game designer...

    DotA vs LoL...which is better?

    That doesnt really say anything about the complexity though. Power is relative to the game but since all it does it make everyone on a team hit harder, the only real answer to when the opponent team killed Baron would be to stick together and turtle until the buff is over. Aegis gives a ton of...
