TFW a forum site run by an alleged sexual harasser & formerly modded by a convicted pedo is in remission and the Escapist is at Stage 4 and somewhere between depression & acceptance. Don't worry though, guys. I hear ResetEra is a utopia of proper thoughts.

It's very much an Us vs Them mentality. It'd go off-topic, so if you want I can share with you my insights in PMs if you want. To the first two paragraphs, I believe you may be reading too much into the timing as specious rather than the idea that Notch did something that was considered...

Such is the consequence of free speech. In a society that values critical thinking and logic, such concerns should fall the wayside as evidence proves one side more correct than the other. Dawkins not debating creationists is a personal choice, but he hasn't called for them to be no-platformed...

This is largely a side-effect of other outlets refusing to give that type of opposing viewpoint any oxygen. You're going to see any capitalistic publication seeing a niche market and filling the void. If one wants to avoid the construction of echo chambers from without or within, they have...

Wow, what a natural, organic interview. Very candid. No messaging, no brevity due to rejecting pre-screened questions or editing out responses. No attempts to catch the person being interviewed in an uncomfortable moment to drum up drama. A real breath of fresh air. And Notch probably...

Well, if we're in a world where we have to remove content that makes people uncomfortable and we have to be totally cool with it, at least it's being applied equally. :^) And as the demographics in that region are swelling with cultures that actually pretty homophobic, I would expect more of...

I find it amazing that there are people on the social medias who get bent out of shape because a comedian or a sitcom did something they didn't like or didn't find funny. You just want to say to them "Get over yourself." The comedian or show is successful, despite of not appealing to your...

Some people just have a maddening hatred of other people enjoying something they've found some reason to be offended about. How dare they enjoy something without critically thinking about who may be offended it by it? The nerve.

There was, for a time, a subset if the 360 community who owned them specifically for the synched Netflix parties and ability to converse in the Xbox Live party chat. Was great for long distance relationships and I knew a number of guys who bought an Xbox for their gf specifically for that...

Not to be a total downer, but barring medical breakthroughs, the cancer's broke containment, meaning cancer cells have traveled from the original site via the bloodstream and are everywhere, too small to see until it grows sufficiently. That the liver was the first to show up is no surprise as...

I would be very curious to see how this thread would have gone if it'd been about denial of service for a gay wedding rather than denying service as a store front... Oh wait... I'll let others do the digging to find where inconsistencies lay...

This is why I said stick with things that use it as a framing device rather than the plot. Like the Negima manga. It's awesome for at least the first 20 books, then fsck Ken and his inability to wrap up a story. I'm not sure if Freezing counts as one, but that manga was like harem manga +...

http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/24103/Prototype-Pimp-Daddy?it=1 Shhhhhhh, no one let the No Fun Police know that this made it past their internal review process. Seriously, the entirety of White Wolf's "Black Dog" series being up for grabs, which in some cases intricately details...

Negima! had a good run up until the point Ken Akamatsu lost interest and torpedo'd the ending: Diverse cast that didn't rely on a lot of boobs. I was impressed. That being said, big fan of Monster Musume

No, hipsterism is that plus the addendum 'by everybody liking it and look what a special snowflake it made me for liking it first.' Which I, and other nerds, could give a flying fuck about. If everyone likes the Killing Joke, that's fine. However, if they think the Killing Joke needs to be...
