    Zero Punctuation: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

    I can't speak for this particular character but fetishizing a young girl with no emotions is definitely a thing [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EmotionlessGirl], especially in Japan. I also thought of the MLP fandom while watching this video. *sigh*

    Bureaucracy-Em-Up

    I'm trans and I actually want people to use the word tranny more. If we start using it casually, the way we use "queer" casually, eventually it won't even register as a slur. And in this case it was obviously used in the "wow, look at this evil bureaucracy" sense, not in a way that was meant...

    New York Teacher Tells Kids There Is No Santa Claus

    It's fucked up for parents to lie to their children in the first place. And let's be honest: the real reason they do it is because they find their kids' behavior while laboring under this delusion entertaining. It's like blowing pot in your dog's face - something you do for your own enjoyment...

    Poll: Can you hate gay culture and not be homophobic?

    evilthecat hit the nail on the head. Gender and sexuality can still get you killed in some places, and fired/evicted/ostracized in others. And you lot are griping about having to watch a shirtless man gyrate his pelvis? Talk about privilege. What you fail to grasp is that the flamboyance is...

    The acceptable face of middle aged women being attracted to minors.

    Lads, you're confused. There are two groups of people who want two different things. On the one hand, you've got folks who hate everything that's happened since 1962. They're the ones in love with Bieber, perhaps inappropriately as this commercial indicates. The little chipmunk is everything...

    Stupid sexist advert

    These commercials are so stupid and so annoying, I really wish escapist would get someone else to advertise here. For one, it's demeaning to suggest that the kind of advertising that will resonate with me is a bunch of ugly neckbeards driving around and being the gender police because some dude...

    Poll: would you die for your country?

    War is a stupid way to resolve conflicts, plain and simple. Think about the Iraq War: all those poor people died on the streets and in the desert, but Hussein - the actual bad guy - gets to be on TV while wearing a nice suit. Sure he got hung in public, but that's not any more painful then...

    Trailers: Child of Eden: Synesthesia

    This looks like what people 30 years ago thought video games would look like. Remember all those scenes of space bars with bright, flashy colors and moving abstract objects all over the place? It's finally here. Now we just need flying cars...
