The Official Psychoanalysis GAF Thread

[Steve Contra]

It's sad that girls don't think more about the precious feelings of shut-in internet nerds that they're damaging when they're taking precautions to avoid being drugged in a bar and then raped. So sad.

Yup, poor guys

This sin't about blanket statements, it's about girls taking precautions in situations that are known to cause problems.  We're not talking about dinner parties with friends of friends of friends where there is a implied measure of safety, we're talking about girls in bars getting approached by complete strangers.  If you start following someone late at night and they pick up your pace do you think "fuck that guy, we're just going the same way!" or do you just wave it off as "that dude is being careful".  Exactly the same thing.

And that last line,

I almost had coffee come out my nose.

It is offensive for a girl to cover her drink like your a rapist upon first meeting you. That shouldn't be hard to understand. I understand the girl may think that due to surrounding influence, but its perfectly right for a guy to take offense from it.

If someone is that off-putting, maybe they should take a hint.

It's more about the systematic problem and the way it removes the individual's chance to to be seen. There's some very problematic things with the way the rape issue is being handled by many involved.

I have no idea what this even means.  But no, girls can pretty much take any pre-caution they need to in order to not get raped.  They don't owe some guy at a bar anything.

It's not about owing a guy anything. I don't know why you think that is the point. it is something that can be taken as offensive and it's perfectly legit to be offended by it. (I am repeating my earlier statement because sometimes it takes three utterances for an idea to find passage through the muck of the forum.) Also, it is something that will lead to issues down the road. You can't be influencing fear of male sexuality and making it okay to treat all males as rapists just as you can't treat any group as any horrible thing by default. Well I guess you can do that, but you shouldn't.  Not just in that its a form of misandry, but that it may ultimately prove harmful towards improving rape awareness. To me, it creates new fears and thus new confusion, and fear and confusion tends to create silence rather than discussion. This latter point is not my main point in response, but more an explanation of my previous comment. The main point is that it's something that holds plenty of power to offend people and for good reason, so why does that fact blow people's minds? Let people be offended by it. If you can't allow that then you're backing up the misandry and any sad attempts to hide it behind "Because you're disgusting and she should" even though you don't know the individuals involved is fooling nobody.

Yes, this is another lecture from me. Don't deal with it. Learn from it.

Yes, you've hit upon an important point here.  Any and every male is allowed to get offended if a girl covers her drink.  Just like every other male is allowed to laugh at their expense for taking everything so damn personally.  We should just paste all of Jon Stewart Mill at the top of every message board so we don't have to go through this every time.

If you are offended by this you are a loser of such epic proportions that this cupping method might just be a brilliant barometer for weeding out basement dwelling fucksticks.

Wonder what the next rant will be : she wouldnt let me fuck her first night because we had no protection! What?! Like i've got aids or something?! So offended. Bitch.

In Etiolate's future self defense classes will be taught with not supporting misandry in mind.  "Make sure he's really attacking you before you run, what if he just picked up a receipt you dropped!"

"My Time"

I struggled with this pain inside, but it was too strong
you looked so catatonic, ya knew it was wrong
destructive, tainted, heated words scraped off your tongue
singing wholly sinful song

If you feel the way I feel, and you want to go to heaven for the first time...
one more time [repeat]
You wanna know the reason why I am the way I am
you wanna hear the truth the love the way that only I can tell
you wanna hear a song that moves and hangs inside of you
you wanna feel and see the magic that only I can sell


I'm gonna plug it in, turn it up, settle in
and turn the self indulgent matrons over belly up
I'm gonna find a way to touch you...
and blow away the hate for you to hear this fallen angel's song


[chorus]


My dear friends out there, standing atop the mountain
did you find your faith in God
when you found that you were buried at the bottom?

Is it really that much different from the FPS game community, though? I mean, yeah, it's wrong either way, but I don't think this is necessarily some problem that exclusive to fighting games.

Well, yes. The problem isn't exclusive to fighting games. But the "bad apple/dick to good people" ratio is skewed slightly higher in the fighting game circles. It doesn't help that those players aren't condoned like they would be in other genres or games. The comments in that article just prove him right: They want to keep their "good ol' boy club" image and that's exactly why no one will take them seriously. Half the time a fighting game genre thread pops up and people are like "WHY AREN'T WE MORE POPULAR" people post examples like the above and they go "WELL THAT'S NOT ALL OF US!" Well, no shit: But you don't tell those people to sit the fuck down and shut up and never speak up again. And that just lets the problem fester.

I mean if you look at Starcraft/Quake 3/any other stream you don't see the commentators pull off some of the shit that the fighting game commentators or "notables" get away with. Shit, that Street Fighter x Tekken sexism event where (forgetting his name) talked down the girl who later removed herself from the event got a bunch of "what's the big deal!?" from SRK kids. Which just shows the issue.

I wouldn't say confidence, I'd say "wins on the belt so they think they're hot shit when it's simply a game." But I guess "confidence" can also fit in that slot.

looks like the fgc managed to browbeat that article writer into eventually apologizing/taking it back

they're a well-organized bunch of losers, i'll give them that much

I wouldn't call it like that.  The guy is arguing about the "FGC" and cites a bunch of online comments, one video from the worst group of idiots in the scene (CORN, the dudes who made that video), and youtube troll comments on that video.  That wasn't even good cherry picking, it was some guy who spent two minutes researching and wrote an article on how everyone needs to stop playing fighting games    If he really wanted to get down and dirty, he could've copied chat logs from twitchtv streams, SRK comments, found videos of top players arguing and talking shit, etc.  This article could have looked somewhat legit.  Even then, that's just online bullshit.

The writer has never been to an event in real life, his opinion is invalid, end of story.  He'd still find plenty to criticize, but he wouldn't have written such an insanely imbalanced article.  Put another way-- he got intimidated by a youtube video and comments.  This guy is a complete man-baby by any metric and not very intelligent at all. 

[Don Flamenco]

He did get people clarifying things, which is why he back-tracked so much.  The anonymous dickwads will come out for any article critical of anything video game related ever, we know this.  Plus, he said he did research for that article, when he clearly did not...it's a knee jerk reaction that focuses on the negative.

The problem is, we say "FGC," as if it means something, but there's no official regulating body that can control what people do and say online.  "FGC" is largely a constructed idea.  The people who are really into it consider it an IRL social activity-- they get together to play and talk theory and improve.  "FGC" is this thing people use to generically refer to that.  But it's also used online to attach all the bad stories that come out of it to an entire group of people...which is really stupid if you think about it because no one is actually in control.  It's not "the FGC is misogynist," it's that Aris (the guy from the SFxTekken web show) was being misogynist.  Or a couple of individuals who are being misogynist or sexist or homophobic, etc.  It's also not "the FGC likes making fun of guys till they cry," it's that the people who made that video like to.  And then you have your assorted online riff-raff who agree with shitty behavior because they're anonymous trash.  You can have the organizers of EVO speak out about the bad elements and the online shit heads will troll the fuck out of them, while most level headed IRL players will agree or ignore it.   

To be fair then, the good stuff can only be attributed to individuals too.  So when we ascribe the good and bad stuff to the individuals who do them, it looks less like an official organization that has a PR face to put forward and policies on new member recruitment and all this stuff.  It's just a bunch of people who play games...some of whom are assholes, some of whom are cool.  It's a niche and loosely tied together with tournaments, so it's easy to throw all these people in one spot, but it's not really that fair. 

Please see it that way instead of buying into this Fox News level of reporting shit. 

[Don Flamenco]

basically, i'm saying that guy was doing this:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/16/colorado-governor-points-to-violence-in-video-games/

on a smaller scale. 

[brob]

Many in the spectating crowd considers itself "FGC" which is what fucks it up. The audience is largely adolescent boys with low social intelligence and loud mouths.

  It's not "the FGC is misogynist," it's that Aris (the guy from the SFxTekken web show) was being misogynist.  Or a couple of individuals who are being misogynist or sexist or homophobic, etc.

This would be true if not for the circling of the wagons that followed - because that shit was remarkably ignorant. Regardless, the biggest fuck-up in that situation was Capcom not having the balls to tell Aris to sit the fuck down.
