Impoverishes the rest of us though. What are we going to do when we're 5 pages deep in the debate about whether Angelina Jolie's breasts are large enough for Lara Croft to be a good role model for pre-teen girls and we need someone to put us all down in a bluff Australian accent by telling us about the size of the spiders he has to remove from his shoes every day?Zhukov said:
You've got a responsibility, Zhukov.
I honestly feel the same way. Especially when it comes to LGBT issues and the like, which almost always erupt into massive flamewars. I feel almost like a soldier dropping in to provide support for my side and to be perfectly clear, that shit gets exhausting. I mean, fuck. we have a subforum for that, within the volcano that is Religion and Politics. If you want to post shit about current societal issues, for fuck's sake post it in there. Off Topic is for kittens, funny stuff, and other cool shit. KEEP SOCIETAL ISSUES THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY CAT PICTURES! Ahem, sorry. Carry on.
Yes, things have been getting a little crazy and depressive.
Feminists have been turned into the boogeyman of the hour and it makes it really hard to be a reasonable feminist, and a reasonable person on this forum.
I really don't know why people have gotten so angry recently, hell, even agreeing to disagree with someone offends them now.

*Whiny voice* But Fappyyyyyyyyy! How will people know where I stand on an issue if I don't act demeaning and hostile towards thehhhhhhhhhm!
Yeah, I could go with a little less of that attitude around here - the grandest forum of them all, some say!

Oh yes, I can vouch. 'Twas impressive.T0ad 0f Truth said:
I heard that song on the radio the other day and that vid was the first thing that came to mind. No idea who actually sings it, for me it's just the Farming Simulator song.Daystar Clarion said:
I think I'd find it quite jarring if I saw it on tv and that wasn't the accompanying video. The internet has done weird things to my understanding of pop culture...
It is hard to be a reasonable person on this forum these days, yes. But, I think that has less to do with "feminism", and more to do with...Phasmal said:
I've been likened to a woman-hating MRA nutcase simply because I took issue with stuff a woman did somewhere. That's not feminism. That's Sith absolutism.
Unless you agree with me 100%, you are my enemy.
Also, here's a gratuitous kitten picture:
There have been a lot of Mr. Grumpyfaces around the forums lately.
The topics that have been coming up lately seem to bring out the absolute worst in certain sectors of the gaming community.

In the end, you don't hate women, I don't hate men, but we're both getting lumped in with stupid generalizations because people don't want to use their brains. I imagine if people listened to the things you or I were actually saying they might realize we do not hate anyone or fit into the generalizations they will not let go of.
Basically nobody will listen to what people believe because they are too busy TELLING them what they believe.
I personally found the sarcasm to be in perfect proportion to the other guy's insults. Pretty funny to read, actually.T0ad 0f Truth said:
Pretty much, yea. And it's not just you not getting points across well; it's basically people getting so desensitized to all this they have a hard time even recognizing points, and I see I just fell victim to that myself. And that's a good cue to say to myself "Hm, maybe a short break is in order".Phasmal said:
I suppose some people here have a point when they suggest that such threads be moved to R&P instead...but on the other hand...that's a scary place.
Bottom line is, we need less battlements and more kittens and maybe randomness.
Oh and I'll remain a heretic; I'm sorry to all the people who are in Cult of Daystar Clarion, but I want to start my own religion one day, you see.
