The two movies ask fundamentally different questions about human nature. Robocop, regarding Murphy, is centered on the question of identity. Murphy actually dies, and Robocop has to piece together memories and his current context to determine if he really is Alex Murphy, if Alex Murphy...

genitals look weird as hell, but I'll be damned if I don't get aroused when I see 'em.

Yes, Robocop is perfect. It is in the pantheon of timeless self-aware action movies with disturbingly deep messages and questions.

There are times when it helps to acknowledge that many people on the Internet and young and dumb. This is not disagreement with you, by the way.

GamerGate invented the term 'SJW', just like GamerGate invented all words and phrases that oppose identity politics. Oppressed? Nah. Forced off of most websites, libeled and misrepresented in the media constantly, yeah.

To be fair there were threads on 8chan about Mortal Kombat X, but most of the concerns were about character redesigns for 'realism' purposes. The majority of posts ended up liking the new designs, thinking they look better (I agree, except in the case of Mileena, I think they made her face look...

That is a pretty stupid thread. Apparently people are upset that...companies...might not be...sincere...and are interested in making money by catering to a growing demographic? OMG, there are gays in Outworld. With so many sweaty muscly guys grabbing each other all the time, who would have guessed?

Didn't read the thread beyond the first page. I'm siding with the users that are fine with a gay Mortal Kombat character. Maybe it's pandering. So what? Not like there aren't gaymers out there. "Opposing the SJW" is a stupid stance to default to, because you will shoot yourself in the...

All you have to do to be considered 'pro-GG' is allow people to talk about GamerGate on your forums. Neutrality = support in newspeak. "No platform" has been ultra-progressive policy in most spaces regarding dissenters. Worst case scenario us [vile misogynist racist transphobic conservative...

Okay, so I'm cop phobic. I'll admit that. The plural of anecdote is not data. And yes, I see the majority of humans as potential threats. That could be called paranoia. I'm still not wrong for thinking the guy with the authority to legally dispense death, injury, theft and property...

Cops are very human, and that's what is so frightening. It's not a generalization to observe that as members of the executive branch on the ground, you have more power than the citizen does. It might be a phobia, but it's far from irrational. Most police I have interacted with have made it...

I will never, ever trust a police officer. Someone who has the power to ruin my life just for pissing them off is not someone I have any intention of being around. I view them like predators. You don't show fear, but you do play dead. Reading a cop is incredibly important to getting leniency...

I don't really see to what degree I, as an individual, am entitled to another individual's resources. I am inclined to befriend the rich, so as to learn the methods by which they became rich and replicate them.

You're really really unlikely to be shot in the USA unless you do one of three things: 1.) deal in hard drugs. 2.) trespass onto a rural loony's property. 3.) be a black American and interact with a police officer (African immigrants are not targeted as heavily for some reason). If...

And so it goes, here is Larry's response http://monsterhunternation.com/2015/04/09/a-response-to-george-r-r-martin-from-the-author-who-started-sad-puppies/
