    Moments you lose faith in a person.

    "Ew, you're a feminist?" Yeah, because my personhood is something that needs to be up for debate. I'm not even talking radical feminism here, I'm talking simple "women should be given equal treatment" - hell, not even that, "women should be treated like people" feminism. As soon as person...

    Saddest moments during a game? (Spoilers inbound)

    The end of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky/Time/Darkness. Maybe I just wasn't expecting it. Maybe I was just overemotional because my grandfather was dying and PMD was what I picked up to lose myself in because, hey, it's Pokemon, it can't be that bad, right? I wasn't prepared for...

    Forgotten Gems Of Gaming.

    Jade Empire. Not that you can go really wrong with Bioware, but it's one of the most forgotten Bioware games and honestly one of their absolute best. The storytelling is so damn good and wonderfully interwoven and supported by gameplay.

    Poll: BUTTS, Bootys and Self-Seats

    Few things on this earth are better than a good booty. But personally I'm an equal opportunity plush rump appreciator.

    are you people fucking serious!

    Jesus, how many times do I have to go over this, Serious and I are JUST FRIENDS not fuckbuddies. GAWD. Seriously though, I think people can take a moment to be vaguely disappointed that even if it is just trolling, people decided to spend energy and effort on something so monumentally stupid...

    Stereotypes you perpetuate

    The big one? "Feminists are all bitter single ugly fat girls!" #stillwant2bpaidthesametholmao #misandry I also as a southerner have a propensity towards fried foods and definitely use "bless your heart" to mean "fuck you asshole" in true southern belle tradition.

    Poll: How many people on here suffer from mental health issues?

    Severe depression and generalized anxiety disorder, reporting for duty and ready to be paralyzed by a feeling of impending doom and then be real sad about it. /salutes And yes, much like a purebred horse, I have all my papers in order to show I come by these things as legitimately recognized...

    Problems that men have to deal with

    Ehhh, we may have to disagree on that one. The fashion industry is a really odd creature, and most of it is built around getting people to buy stuff, not about actually appealing to men. Women feel compelled to cater to men, which makes it a different power dynamic. I'd say the statistics...

    Problems that men have to deal with

    I... actually am going to point out that some feminists care about men's problems and actively work towards fixing them, but I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to go off your post since you already know what's about to happen and you acknowledge feminism is a big category? I'll toss out...

    Your memory hole

    Boy, it sure was sad how Legend of Korra quit right before the season 1 ending before Korra could have some amazing character development showing that she was going to be the Avatar to all of the oppressed non-benders instead of something so cliche as Amon turning out to be a bender all along.

    Problems that men have to deal with

    I'm just going to toss a radical feminist idea in here that I'm sure will bring approximately fifteen million people down upon my head screaming at the top of their lungs: Okay, imagine a venn diagram. One part is "problems men have to deal with" along this thread's line. Another part is...

    The Ships of Star Wars

    Well I'm partial to Anakin/Padme of course, but I have a soft spot for Rex/Ahsoka and Obi-Wan/Asajj and - shit. fuck. you didn't mean THAT type of ship... (Seriously though, I have a major soft spot for the Naboo royal ships. Mmm, chroooooome.)

    A short essay on why you should stop calling people SJW

    A shorter essay on why you should stop calling people SJWs: We're all good for warriors, thanks, we need other classes to make a balanced Social Justice party. Consider rolling a cleric, priest, or even a paladin, or perhaps a different type of DPS if you don't like tanking. I recommend...

    GamerGate's Image Problem

    TOO LATE, I'M A SJW AND I AGREE WITH YOU the only recourse now is to set yourself on fire sorry mate v: Seriously though, I agree with this. Succinctly put, it started with people delving into a woman's sex life and harassing her for it. Everything else is, as DA Adam Schiff on Law and...

    Poll: Should Anita Sarkeesian debate games that are within her cultural means?

    If Japanese games display examples of horrible sexism of the type that is endemic to video games, then yes, it's perfectly all right for feminists to critique it. Not everything can be handwaved as "oh well those Japanese are so different you know", especially if it's being marketed and sold to...
