I think here in the UK, the pendulum's swung too far to the authoritarian side since Blair. When your average protest is kettled and democracy square torn up, something's amiss (and Tomlinson's death was a clear example of this). I don't see a problem with this, however, so long as the...

http://theweek.com/article/index/269377/intels-awful-capitulation-to-gamergates-sexist-thugs To name one, from a possible plethora (I'm not in the habit of collecting articles that demonise us, so I'll leave the rest to yourself/others).

Actually, you've just made our argument for us. Chipman & Sterling are anti-GG, and yet we rally around Escapist because they're offering alternative viewpoints as well. Gamasutra and the like tolerate no other viewpoints, and for that, they're completely different, and are easy to write off.

Course it hasn't, because with an outlook so blinkered from the outset there's no evidence that'd dissuade you of it. You're genuinely arguing that the USA is a case of 'ever-increasing size of public sector' and over-taxation? The polarisation isn't helped by Baldwin, and his 'suspicions'...

I'm not sure if you can be undateably bland, because it'd usually take a date for someone to discover. But I do believe you can be unloveably bland (probably stick myself in that category) and reject the feel-good horseshit that everyone's got a potential partner. Sorta reminds me of the...

A mixture of two and three. I'd stop talking to them, too, although it'd weigh on my mind while I tried to forget them.

There's quite plainly a counter-argument: one thread that is related to the recent DDOS that brings up Gamergate, outside of the main Gamergate thread, doesn't - to any reasonable person - constitute a "flooding". But we've long established you're anything but reasonable.

No, the world has definitely gone to shit, and I can't even stand watching the news anymore. Global conflicts and horrific movements like ISIS aside, the thing I find most depressing (as a leftist) is actually the economics of the world: global capitalism goes unchallenged in an...

I've been amazed how quickly the self-professed progressive/Good? side has been in employing bigotry in their spiels. I don't for one moment believe devin didn't specify the subset of gamers he was talking about because of Twitter's character limit - it'd literally take one more word (prefixed...

You heard it here folks - the best comparison to people associating themselves as gamers is an identity that's ridden with criminality, and it's on our heads if we choose to accept that(!)

Excuse me? You're in a thread where 'gamers', with no care to define or absolve the overwhelming majority of non trogdolytes have been referred as worse than ISIS, and too dumb to read - which you yourself were only too happy to fall all over yourself to excuse in your opening post in this...
