    CNN overreacting and claiming Manga is child porn

    Well, I care enough to mention it when people talk about how crappy CNN is. I did it on my home forum and on TGWTG just today.

    CNN overreacting and claiming Manga is child porn

    By that same logic, then, a pedophile doesn't desire to rape children unless what they find attractive is the child's inability to give consent. That's the aspect that is rape, not the attraction itself. Also, a pedophile is not necessarily attracted to childishness--at least, if you are...

    CNN overreacting and claiming Manga is child porn

    I finally found the cover [http://cc.bookwalker.jp/coverImage_819062.jpg]. I can't tell how old they are supposed to be, but they don't look like children to me, and they appear to be fully clothed and just holding each other. Even if you think they are children, I don't see why you would...

    Choo Choo! All Aboard The Hype Train!

    First game I've felt hyped about in a long time is the Grim Fandango remake. I got sorta hyped about South Park: Stick of Truth when it was first announced, but that'd died out pretty quickly. I'm still pretty stoked about GF, though.

    What's the difference between mocking an evil character and endorsing an evil character?

    It worked out well for his spiritual predecessor, Archie Bunker. Sure, some people glamorized the guy, but it sure didn't hold society back in any way.

    Ubisoft: DRM is Ineffective Against Piracy

    They've "come a long way" in realizing that not all pirated games count as lost sales. They've come a long way in realizing that offline DRM doesn't work. That doesn't mean they'd get rid of Uplay or DRM in general. The most realistic thing they could do is make it seemlessly transparent. Get...

    Do we need more LGBTQ+ protagonists in video games?

    The objection is not to tokenism, but to the reason why tokenism is decried. It may not be tokenism, but it's still minority status being used a gimmick. In both, a minority is added to make people stop complaining about them not being there. But that's not the ultimate goal. This need not...

    What does 'Fem!' mean?

    That still doesn't explain not using -, which would be the grammatical answer (whether dash or hyphen), or some other programming construct such as _ or . or CamelCase. At least those symbols would look like variations of natural English.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    The part I've quoted is what makes you not racist. Unfortunately, the original poster did not give this caveat, and the guy in question never said it. When you act like a jerk, like that guy did, people are more likely to not give you the benefit of the doubt in things like this. And, note...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Yes, it's racist, because you are deciding ahead of time by race. People are not attracted to race. They are attracted to physical characteristics and character traits. When you say you are not attracted to ____, you are saying you think that all ____ have those bad characteristics. And judging...

    YouTube Comments Get a Makeover From Google

    Parents should already know their little kid's account name. No parent who cares is going to get the kid in trouble just because there's a real name attached. What it might do is alert the kid's friends of his assholishness, but, chances are, the kid already hangs out with other kids who talk...

    YouTube Comments Get a Makeover From Google

    You mean, the same comments you already don't see because people always mark them as spam? And, duh, some people are okay with it. That doesn't make it okay to take the choice away from those who aren't. That's the problem. Facebook works because it's a separate part of your life. Google has...

    YouTube Comments Get a Makeover From Google

    Using real names doesn't make people nicer. It give people a way to track down people in real life. Yes, that may scare the few people not smart enough not to use their real names, but it much more greatly affects the people who aren't trying to be trolls and get tracked down by trolls...

    YouTube Comments Get a Makeover From Google

    Now, leaving out the Google+ part: what this does is make sure that the trolls have even more power. No troll is stupid enough to use their real name. No troll is going to let their comments be connected to anyone else. All that's going to happen is that the people with unfavorable opinions will...

    YouTube Comments Get a Makeover From Google

    How the fuck is the Google+ thing supposed to help? How many times do you actually view a YouTube page where anyone you know has commented on it? Google+ is LOCAL. YouTube is GLOBAL. They don't intersect at all. And, yes, I also don't click the button, because they are trying to force me to...
