    So what do we call actual homophobia?

    I mean both the gay panic bullshit of old and the word hydrophobia. Hydrophobia doesn't mean fear of water it refers to the process of some chemicals (famously fats) to push water as far away as possible from them, forming layering effect. But, the modern phobias homophobia, transphobia...

    Batman is exactly why I don't PC game

    Yeah this game is broken on PC, some are. That's no different than console. When I look into AAA news, I notice the majority of games have day one patches even on consoles. When I talk about broken games I often use Dark Souls as an example. Blight Town is famously awful on consoles with some...

    Suggest an MMORPG that's BETTER than World of Warcraft

    I think most MMOs are actually better than WoW. The only difference is that WoW has one thing it hits right out of the park and that's raiding. WoW's continued success is really mostly due to the amount of cash they can pump into it and it's cultural inertia. When someone thinks of a MMO they...

    Your thoughts on Gen 8 so far

    Ehh, I'm pretty satisfied with my Wii U but honestly, I don't really see any value in the other systems, I would want a stead stream of solid exclusives that will stay exclusives in order to be interested. As is only Bloodborne mildly interests me but not nearly enough to buy such an expensive...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    No one actually knows the percentage of transpeople, as to my knowledge there has been no wide scale surveys on the subject matter and the general clumsiness of most surveys offering a option from transpeople leads to few people actually checking it (most of them say male, female, transgender...

    Poll: There are only 2 genders....right?

    If you didn't care you'd just refer to people by their chosen pronouns. Like you're actively choosing something that causes you more conflict AND makes people unhappy, that's not a lack of care. And pronouns being linked to gender isn't an opinion it's a fact, as in the authority figures on the...

    Poll: There are only 2 genders....right?

    I don't expect me calling you a dick would annoy you, nor would you calling me a man or he etc would. Neither of us really cares what the other thinks of them. But the example was that it's willingly using a term to try and offend someone under the bullshit guise of "correctness". It isn't...

    Poll: There are only 2 genders....right?

    So basically you're willingly being a dick. By that logic I could, rightfully so, refer to you as a dick in every regard and you'd have absolutely no problems with it. And no you don't deliberately misgender transpeople because it more "scientifically accurate" because it's not (seriously read a...

    Poll: There are only 2 genders....right?

    It's absurd frankly, the fact that people say I'm something between the (arbitrary) poles of Male and Female is direct proof there are more than two genders.

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    It's technically possible, Turner's Syndrome is when someone doesn't receive a X chromosome from one of their parents, this technically could be combined with the father's sperm containing two y-chromosomes to create a zygote with two Ys but such a zygote would not survive.

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    For some Transpeople, yes. There are some people who are only interested in transitioning socially, which means being referred to as their gender. The sex gender crossing is the defining aspect of being trans, not the severity. That's why some people only transition socially, others keep the...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    In particular the term TERF stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. Ironically though transpeople are often included in the SJW category we're (especially transwomen) likely to receive hatred from the radical feminists. The only connection between feminism and transpeople is the higher...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    Mostly correct, when people think of a woman or a man they're actually thinking of around 3 different things that in the vast majority of people line up as opposed to being crossed. These categories are Sex, Gender and Gender Expression/role. Sex is the one that everyone knows male, female and...

    Zero Punctuation: Half-Life 2 Update - Gravity Gun > Modern FPS

    I don't think that anyone really thinks new player would player Half Life 2 and think it's one of the best games ever, only that it's good. And you always have factor in technical limitations when considering whether a game is excellent or not (otherwise we'd have to remove all console games...

    10 Best Red One Drops

    I refuse to believe Vexing Devil is awful it's two really good choices. I mean it's not like Delver of Secrets, Goblin Guide, Tarmogoyf and Dark Confidant which are very, very, very good (I can't think of an analogous creature in white, the best I could think of is Restoration Angel) but it's...
