I want kids though.  If i get in a relationship, there is always the possibility that it will end up having kids with a mental illness like mine.  I could never forgive myself if that happens.  And yes abortion is out of the question.

But you're not having them now or for the foreseeable future because of your choice?

People might mock you for what you're saying, but Tay-Sachs is part of my background and I can empathize with your thought process because of that. (To say nothing of the hereditary mental illness in my own family tree, suicide flows across like 3 or 4 generations now from one ancestor.)

Not trying to attack you, just saying that your decision might not be as necessary as you think it is.

Never having because of choice.  I have been diagnosed with schizo effective disorder.  I probably cant make a relationship now even if i wanted to as i have pretty much shut myself out from the outside world.

TB was getting death threats and shit before he came out as a GG shill, that's par for the course if you're an internet personality, esp one having anything to do with games.
AHA! So you admit #Gamergate isn't misogynist!

And why was this posted, Damien? Do you actually think Gamergate is about videogames?

It is and it isn't.

People should really read the Disco comparison article i posted a page back, the parallels are uncanny.

tiesto :mynicca

Of course, I'll say "Disco Demolition Night" was a good thing - by sending disco back underground thus greatly restricting its budgets (no more hiring orchestras or top-notch producers as was the norm during the peak of disco), it encouraged creativity to get around these restraints, eventually leading to the birth of house music. Although I can't really relate that last part to gamergate...

TB supports Gamer Gate? Damn. I really liked him. Granted I'm not familiar with 90% of his gaming views. My exposure to him has entirely revolved around StarCraft 2. He started casting amateur games before becoming one of the more prominent casters. I know people slammed him for not being extremely knowledgeable about the strategy or metagame involved but he was very entertaining.

He bought a SC2 team awhile ago and has been a big supporter of esports.

The Cynical Brit TotalBiscuit [*downpitched "EPIC" voice sample plays here*] talks about consumer rights like they are the foundation all human life rests on. Of course he's gonna go eat off some Ethics & Integrity in Games Journalism (which doesn't include him obviously, he's just a blogger w/ an opinion, never mind what the FCC says.)

That led me to these videos and now I'm rethinking everything:








I think I'm going to play Defense Grid instead of Borderlands.

Or maybe Pac-Man CE...

THESE VIDEOS HAVEN'T HELPED ME DECIDE AT ALL.

Yes, yes you are wrong. and distinguished mentally-challenged.

Hey which one of you people was fussing at me for calling folks "distinguished mentally-challenged?" 

Incidentally, at this point it seems that no, you're not wrong.

Neutrality ain't a bad approach to two mobs yelling barely comprehensible insults at each other...

And scattered anonymous internet trolls with "burner accounts" sending death threats and personal information...

No one needs to apologize for those fucks, though.  Just report them.  Apparently this is hardly novel Twitter behavior, either.

It was me.

No, no, it's even worse than that. "This woman doesn't want to be lynched and thinks it would be cool if there were some non-stereotypical, hyper sexualized, cartoonish portrayals of women in video games."

When you put it like that, it becomes clear that she has to be hung.

You understand this isn't just one guy randomly tweeting a threat to you out of nowhere. I mean that's bad enough, but Sarkeesian has had thousands of people intensely angry at her for years, so why wouldn't she take it seriously when some guy that has her address threatens her?

I don't use any of these (post-uplifting, of course) but I'm also not stupid enough to wage war over their omnipresence in Bore Vernacular English. I just don't use them myself and (almost always) never like posts that contain them.

So many otherwise good posts I can't push the like button on because they have special fellow in them as an insult. Tears in the rain. :tocry
