You All Depress Me: Something We Need To Acknowledge.

[Angelblaze]

And on that day, no one really gave a fuck. Because after all, who cares about the free speech of things you don't like, right my fellow escapists? Very nice job, very nice double standard. Real proud of you all.

Hey, hey, HEY
YEAH
YOU
OP

Don't lump me in with the rest of these people, I don't just hate Pillars of Eternity (What even is that, anyway? Screw it, hate it anyway), I don't just hate SJWs but I hate "Je Suis Charlie" in general, fuck satirists, for the most part, anyway. Bunch of 'throw shit and ***** when it comes back to bite them' ingrates. Who ever got big social change through drawing a sketch? Nobody. Nada, zip, zilch. I hate satirists (social satirists anyway) because ever since the Je Suis Charlie shit, everyone who ever drew a stickman with his dick in one hand and the Declaration of Independence in the other has acted like some sort of brave, Tiananmen square type fuck. And that's what the internet is, a bunch of people stroking their ego and acting like they matter, whether it's post count or it's the phyrric victory you get from ear fucking someone so hard that they quit out of frustration, it's all ego.

The games industry is one big septic tank of raw shit and so's the internet. And so are you, OP, arbiter of the good man, the JUST MAN, the "These guys are hypocrites and I'm going to generalize because that's the high road". I pray for the sweet embrace of death everyday because of types like you.

Get fucked.

1. No thanks, I'm asexual.
2. 'Just Woman' you mean.
3. You just generalized satirists, artists, the games industry, the internet and judged me for generalizing a separate group of people, then judged me for judging hypocrites. /applaud. I think we found the 'Mirror mirroring mirror' of posts ladies and germs'

Though, in your defense (judging from your post history) you're the type of person to be a hypocrite then claim you aren't being a hypocrite because you're 'accepting' of your hypocrisy.

1. No thanks, I'm asexual.

You must be fun at parties.

2.'Just Women' you mean.

And what gave you that assumption? I hate all races, nationalities and creeds. I'm insulted that you'd marginalize me like that.

3. You just generalized satirists, artists, the games industry, the internet and judged me for generalizing a separate group of people, then judged me for judging hypocrites. /applaud. I think we found the 'Mirror mirroring mirror' of posts ladies and germs'

And yet, I still came off less smug that you did. There's a comforting equality to be found within hate. Hell, I never even said you were a bad guy because you generalized people, merely because you did it in such a sensational display of masturbation.

Hey, cognitive dissonance is how half of us function.

And seriously, edit your posts, this is forum 101 right here.

Edit 2: I would like to make a secondary amendment right here and say that it's rather amusing that 'Angelblaze', a self proclaimed woman would jump straight to the misogyny claim. Just gonna leave that there.

1. Thanks, I am.

2. Your words:

so are you, OP, arbiter of the good man, the JUST MAN, the "These guys are hypocrites and I'm going to generalize because that's the high road".

I corrected you by saying I was a woman. I never claimed you were wrong.

3. You told me to 'get fucked'. You kinda threw stones there. Excuse me for believing I'm under attack. And yes I put myself on a pedestal.

Edit 2 RE: When...did I claim misogyny? If you're talking about the 'Just Woman' line, I was just correcting you about my gender, no insults meant.
Edit 2.1 Re: HE NINJA EDITED MY POST TO SAY 'WOMEN' INSTEAD OF 'WOMAN' AND IS CLAIMING I'M INSULTING HIM. NICE JOB.

2. 'Just Woman' you mean.

2.'Just Women' you mean.

Forum 101: Just because I can 'edit' my posts doesn't mean I will. Not here to please your eyes.
Forum 102: Don't assume I haven't screen-shotted your language and letter change edits.
I have.

Edit 3.screw you: K here's your edit, I will no longer be responding to your posts since you clearly are more focused on faking fights then making rights (ha. Stupid joke). I leave you with this:

I have screenshots of your edit.
You've left more then one inflammatory comment
You're on your last warning.
Be careful.

I corrected you by saying I was a woman. I never claimed you were wrong.

I will concede some misinterpretation on my part but you know what would help you in the future to avoid this? Actually quoting the section of the paragraph you were referring to. Just a thought and the "just man" statement was really in reference to the 'zealot preacher' trope.

3. You told me to 'get fucked'. You kinda threw stones there. Excuse me for believing I'm under attack. And yes I put myself on a pedestal.

Very nice job, very nice double standard. Real proud of you all.

I'm not the best linguist/sociologist but last time I checked, passive aggressive insults still constituted an insult. Just letting you know for future reference.

Forum 101: Just because I can 'edit' my posts doesn't mean I will. Not here to please your eyes.

Oh it's not about 'pleasing of the eyes', it's about keeping your shit consistent. So someone can't go back, edit it at a later date and actively make the poster in general look bad for 'overlooking' something in the previous post. So yes, put an edit tag in there.

Edit: Everything below

Edit 2.1 Re: HE NINJA EDITED MY POST TO SAY 'WOMEN' INSTEAD OF 'WOMAN' AND IS CLAIMING I'M INSULTING HIM. NICE JOB.

Believe it or not, that was accidental on my part. Because you didn't actually reference the specific part of my post that you were referring to, I saw "Just Woman, you mean" and assumed that "Hey, they are implying that I hate women specifically, instead of just 'SJWs'". Again, quote the bit of the paragraph. XOXO

Edit 2: Oh this is gold, "I SCREENSHOTTED YOUR POSTS, HA HA HOBO", this is great.

Edit 3:

THERE IT IS, YESSSSSSS, CALL YOUR HOUNDS, FOR I HAVE ALREADY WON.

This is beautiful, I am transcendent in this moment. You've not only gone full passive aggressive, calling out all of The Escapist, none the less, but now you're threatening me with, what, exactly? Mod intervention? Banning? As if you are in any position to make such threats. The mods were already going to see my 'inflammatory comment' and 'misconduct', for which they will do their job and act according to the rules and regulations of The Escapist. But you get a doff of the cap, just for the effort and the sense of.. superiority? Yeah, I'll roll with that term.

Man, it is refreshing to know that those you're 'arguing' with are just as petty as you are.

Moral disengagement combined with purely opinionated response hidden as fact. Very nicely done.

Spoiler

THANK YEW, THANK YEW. I WORK VERY HARD ON MY LOGICAL FALLACIES.

In all honesty, I'm sorry if my (admittedly flippant) response wasn't what you were looking for. Still, you wouldn't have gone looking for dissenting opinions if you didn't make this thread (or at least I hope that's the case).

To seriously address your concern, I would argue there's a fair difference between misplaced indignation from moral busybodies vs. feedback from focus demographics and leave it at that.

 

[Scars Unseen]

Don't we already have a forum for stuff more relating to the gaming industry than gaming itself? I swear we did.

It's fine, honestly. I just wanted to point out that there's a rift in what people are willing to claim is a battle against SJW's and what isn't, and hopefully open a few eyes in the process.

Admittedly, I put FAR too much worth on what people say, due in part to being considered to be one of these blanketted SJW's who are attacked from both sides (I like sexualization, but I hate objectification, but I'm totally fine with it when it has a purpose but- UGGGGGH SO HARD TO TRACK) and...

Being part of tumblr which has a serious case of constantly falling into the Fallacy Fallacy logical argument using unmentioned variables. (ExCUSE ME BUT OMG ARE U SAYIN THAT SINCE POE, FFM AND BATMAN HAD THEIR ISSUES THAT THEY ARE TEH ONLY 1S WORTH CARING BOUT? #femaleshitlord #checkurpriviledge.)

In actuality, it was kind of unfair of me, in that original post, to call your logical fallacies without calling out my own (which is a fallacy in its own right) Technically speaking this post is somewhat slipping into the Anecdotal fallacy.

Don't we already have a forum for stuff more relating to the gaming industry than gaming itself? I swear we did.

We should, probably. And this would probably be more suited to it.

BTW Nice avatar. On a side note, Kaiki's kinda hot. So at least I still have that going for me. *Hugs pre-outfit change pictures of Mevius*

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

See that's just where I disagree. How her writers have chosen to portray her is still shamelessly sexual. Not personally confident, but shameless.
Tell me the difference between these pictures, apart from the named character. 'cause I find I'm having a hard time telling which is blatantly sexual and which is OMG so empowering!

I mean if you want to be shallow and keep judging characters based on still frames go ahead but if not, if you're genuinely wondering then here's a hint: Context actually matters! It does!

Fine, I'll put them in context for you. The first picture is a screengrab from an official trailer, meaning it was chosen to sell the game to you. Meaning her being 80% naked was consider viable to market the game.

The 2nd and 3rd are promotional pictures. Meaning "meant to sell". Meaning this is what the game is. Cheese-shots of a woman in a skintight leotard. Buy this game and you get this!

So yes, context is important. Problem is when put in context, its even worse! Without context its a sexy woman in stupid poses. In context, those are imagines meant to convince people to buy the game. Bayonetta spreading her legs for you is sooooo encapsulating of the game that it chosen to sell the game to you.
Whatever character people think Bayonetta has, they need to remember her spreading her legs for you says enough about her "agency" to become promotional.

This thread title depresses me. This isn't civil or discussion of a topic.
