    Unrealistic Expectations

    It looks like the original video was taken down and a quick search of youtube turned up some commentaries but not the actual video.

    Misused Terms You're Sick of Seeing

    When someone uses the phrase "begs the question" to mean "presents the question". Begging the question is circular reasoning.

    Where are all the Male Targeted Romance Novels?

    Their point isn't that there should be male romance novels. The point of the rhetorical question "where are all the male romance novels?" is really to question the idea that each and every cultural niche should appeal equally to each gender. If you look at gaming or comics and realize that...

    How do I tell this guy he has no future in what he wants?

    I would start by explaining to him, as gently as possible, that the future that he is imagining for himself is entirely speculative. By this I mean he has no knowledge at all of what it is like to work in that industry much less to even take a college level course. All he knows is that he likes...

    Misandry

    I think you're misreading Roosh here and it is inaccurate to describe it as misandry. What I believe Roosh is saying is lamenting the state of society while at the same time acknowledging the necessary callousness that is required to adapt to such an environment. In other words, he is saying...

    Was Star Trek (2009) responsible for killing the Stargate franchise?

    I suppose that I'm in the minority in that I liked the idea of Stargate-but-not-Stargate and in thinking SGU was an excellent serial drama. I think serials are a great format in that it allows the creators to tell a much more complex story. The problem with serials is that they have a much...

    Respecting "opinions," frustration, and media influence?

    Those two reviewers probably tend towards the negative because roasting a game can be funny and entertaining. Ditto for any other product. Red Letter Media's Plinkett reviews are probably the best example of this in film. As far as a game or whatever getting treated unfairly, I wouldn't worry...

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    But the ultimate source is a text book. Please note the yellow highlighter. I wrote before that Sarkeesian's tweet was representative of feminism, that it was the "consensus within feminism". What I intended to say, and perhaps I should have chosen my words more carefully, is that Sarkeesian's...

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    I clarified my earlier post on page 3, 5 posts down. If nothing else, check out the hilarious image in the spoiler.

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    When I read the OP I was quite familiar with the statement in Sarkeesian's tweet. I have already read it elsewhere from others, phrased slightly differently but conveying the exact same content. Sarkeesian herself isn't the originator of the idea, she is simply writing in accordance to theory...

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    It isn't just Anita saying this, this is the consensus within feminism. You could always take a screen shot and upload it to imgur or some similar service.

    Poll: Do you enjoy Moviebob's content?

    This is so awesome! lol where does the chin stop and the neck start? Seriously though, what comes across most prominently in Movie Bob's outlook is a mind with a narrow set of life experiences and almost completely cloistered in nerd culture. Has this guy ever had to work a hard manual labor...

    Poll: Do you enjoy Moviebob's content?

    When he isn't soapboxing Moviebob is OK but what he has to say isn't particularly unique. His politics and straw manning of his imagined opponents are annoying but are also the most (only?) interesting thing about him. There is a rubberneck effect going on where I will watch his videos just to...
