Shakespeare disdained and mocked the Petrarchan lover in his sonnets and even in Midsummer's Nights Dream. And Dante was creepy when he was writing about Beatrice, there really isn't two ways about that one. He was in loved with an idealized Beatrice not the real little girl.

Congratulations, you now have a better understanding of Romeo and Juliet than your high school teacher. It's an accurate play about hormone filled teens. Mercutio isn't the only one aware of that fact, read it again and pay attention to the Friar. He thinks they're both pretty stupid as well...

Actually goons and the chons have a bit of a rivalry with each other. It's not likely that people from 4chan/7chan/420chan will be present in large numbers in the Goon Swarm. Though I could see this being used as an excuse for the BoB to get their stuff back and not have to suffer the...

Well, there was that prior mentioned point where the Band of Brothers got schematics from the admins that kind of put them over other people. What was their solution? Keep the admin on board and ban the guy who revealed that it happened.

They've recently reallowed discussion about EVE again on the forums, but they want to keep the Goon Swarm drama out of the SA forums and let it stay in the Goon Swarm forums.

Given how old Something Awful is, I really significantly doubt you're going to see them "stumble" from any amount of back lash. That's kind of like suggesting 4chan'd be shocked, appalled, and crippled if some one trolled them back. Then again, Something Awful forums has taken a minimal talk...

Isn't Band of Brothers the corporation/alliance/whatever that was revealed to have gotten their ultra precious hyper rare Titan schematics (If not full titan) directly from the GMs? I mean, yeah, it kind of sucks to have your group taken down by corporate espionage, but I haven't exactly heard a...

Specific campaigns need a story. It is the life blood of the campaign, what makes it more than a string of combat scenarios. Not to say combat isn't fun, but role playing in your role playing games makes it all the more satisfying. The best stories are the ones involving the people that role...

The humans the Tau used aren't exactly treated very nicely.

Well, I wouldn't say they're inherently sexist in the Imperium of Man, since if I remember there isn't a law against female High Lords of Terra or Inquisitors and those two are the real people that have the power, it is in the canon and, as stupid of a scientific reason as they give, it's not...

This is not a conversation about Space Marines in vidja games, this is about Space Marines in the 40k universe, which canonically are universally male save the maybe one female chaos space marine.

Actually, there aren't nearly enough space marines out there to justify mass producing it, if I recall correctly, and most space marines have very orante and very individualized armor. They're all saints, their stuff gets a lot more attention when it's being crafted than a guardsman's cardboard...

I'm fine with even advocating a crime, because that's just too vague to tie to anything. The people that are going to listen are already probably interested in doing something anyways. Censoring the message "Kill the gays" won't decrease murder of gay people. It'll just put a pretty dress on a...

You are aware I'm against censorship, right? And by explicit instructions, I'm talking about things like obtaining and properly utilizing GHB in a non-medical function. I don't think we should censor even opinions such as misogyny and homophobia. That's never going to solve the issue those...

Well, you can invoke fear without cursing and blood. Lovecraft did it very well. But he also did horrific beings from beyond the stars, horrible horrible hallucinations, and there was still murder. It was just never particularly described, and usually hidden as a plot point. And as dark and...
