    What's your opinion on "flirty" female video game show hosts?

    I don't really watch video game stuff so I'm going to have to take your word for it, I guess, but I think this is more an indictment of our broader society and where nerd culture fits into it than it is these women. They don't make these creative decisions in a vacuum.

    How do non-americans feel about being the president of the USA in Saints Row 4

    Yeah, Saints Row is a much smarter game than a lot of people give it credit for. Also the game had at least two foreign voices which kind of mocked the whole election process/birthers thing.

    Should Feminism and Gaming Mix?

    Aside from anecdotal evidence/distortion of feminism/'who's the real oppressor?', it's kind of funny that the OP has a Newsroom avatar, among the worst shows currently airing in terms of misogyny and not being an old white guy's corny soapbox.

    it cant just be me...or can it?

    Scroobius Pip is kinda cornball. And yeah, celebrity culture isn't for a lot of people, but I don't see why other people shouldn't enjoy it. It isn't inherently harmful, it just brings into focus elements of our culture which would definitely still exist even if it was illegal to be famous.

    Breaking Bad, the newest episode (ep11), what happened? (spoilers)

    He already suspected Huell of lifting the ricin cig from him in the office. Walt had to convince him otherwise. Huell lifted his dro on Saul's orders, that's what he's searching for while he waits for the disappearer. The cigarette packet triggers relational memory; you have to remember that in...

    I Don't Like Bacon

    I don't eat bacon for religious reasons, although for all I know it could be delicious. Hate cheese and by extension pizza. It grosses me out to see people eating hunks of the stuff.

    Angry mom sends letter to family of autistic child telling them to have him euthanized.

    The difference being that her able children have the potential to redirect more resources than they consume. This woman is mad about the noise this disabled kid is making so she's trying to hurt the parents by bringing up the downsides of their kid's condition, unvarnished. It's a shitty thing...

    Rumor: GTA V Radio Info Leak

    That's like saying 'why give rock music two stations because post-punk from the 80s and contemporary alternative/stoner/doom should be one station'. The division here is pretty clear. Contemporary rap (and that's pretty diverse already) and classic 90s jams (also pretty diverse).

    Angry mom sends letter to family of autistic child telling them to have him euthanized.

    Actually she was complaining about noise the kid was making as part of his disability, not that they would use up precious earth resources. Although I figure you knew that and just wanted to recycle a Doug Stanhope routine on somebody no one would defend. So yeah, congratulations on your misogyny.

    Rumor: GTA V Radio Info Leak

    Kinda wish they picked a different Kendrick song. Not complaining, though. Alchemist is tight as dick skin. Rap's kind of a bigger genre than metal. Way broader appeal, too.

    So people think I'm gay...

    Pretty sure your sexual orientation is decided by who you want to have sex with rather than what you got called in high school. Do you not date people you would like to have sex with? It's pretty fun and would from the sounds of things it would probably make your problem go away, so I guess...

    Dragon Age - Why so much hate for Anora?

    Alistair was a chump. Anora was an experienced, pragmatic leader who never tried to do that bargain bin whedon refugee thing Alistair was basically stuffed with. I was skipping through mad dialog to decap that fool.

    Zero Punctuation: Papers, Please and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

    Wow. Very disappointed by some of the views espoused here. Sometimes jokes do more to dehumanise certain groups than they do to amuse people. I'd like to think that if somebody uttered a racial slur or made a gay joke there would be more backlash against teh joke culprit but I've been...

    So I was just traumatized

    I think the thread title trivialises actual trauma and PTSD. A trigger warning wouldn't go amiss either. Just something to think about.
