I agree. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, what’s between the legs makes no difference. And it’s no secret than roughly 99% of straight men are insecure of their masculinity.

The double standards these folks do. Its a god damn mess.

As much as I hate to say the words "Agree" and "Novid" anywhere in close succession, I do have to admit I generally believe that you do not gain empathy and respect for your argument by taking it away from others. It's not a zero sum game. Now, for those Reseters and GAFers reading I'm not talking about racists, sexist and rapists, get out of here with that thought stopping reductio ad absurdum crap. I'm talking about statements like "Everyone know that 99% of men blah blah blah." If you were to take that sentence and replace the word "men" with "jews" or "women" or "black people" or any other demographic, it doesn't really matter what the rest of the sentence is, chances are it'll be grossly unfair.

Ergo, why I never bought into Bish's race baiting "Haha! You're so white you make mayo look like chocolate pudding" shtick. Because, as we've all seen, should someone reverse that onto him they'll get promptly, and justly, banned.  In essence you're just punching your opponent below the belt because you know the ref won't stop you but will throw your opponent out if they did it to you. In the end, it doesn't prove your argument, or move it forward, or convince anyone that isn't already on your side about anything. All it does is inflates your ego. It's self-serving, intellectually dishonest and lazy.

Now I know, there's people that like to say, "B...b..but their privilege!" But really, I've always believed that it doesn't matter who "they" are and what "they" do. It matters who YOU are and what YOU do. But even so, having grown up in Utah I have way more than my fair share of conservative white friends, and far too often I have to be like "Dude, stop. You're not a minority, you haven't had those experiences, you don't have a frame of reference to understand. Let me try to explain..." But even so, there's a huge difference between that and saying, "Ha ha! Shut up. You're white (or, cis, or a man, or hetero, or whatever the privilege of the day is)"

All of this isn't to set myself up as some paragon of intellectual integrity. One of the reasons I never signed up for an alt on GAF or an account on Peter Cetera is that I know I'd get sucked into these kinds of conversations and I just don't care enough to apply the intellectual rigor or integrity that such topics deserve. Part of that is because the level of discourse is different. It's not like back in the day when you would be going up against a PD, or a Guileless, and if you didn't have your ducks in a row you'd be publically eviscerated. Now we're at the level of "What would disney have to do with Lucasfilm, kiddo?" or Just the old "Quote the post, say 'Wow' and wait for the eventual dogpile" stuff. But the larger part is that I'm just too lazy.

The bore suits me just fine. I know I'm a shitposter, he knows he's a shitposter, she knows she's a shitposter. And for the most part, most of us don't pretend to be anything else. Which is more honest than can be said about some other places

yep.

they dont get it and they never will. How can they say all women should be treated in that way when Miss Cox dabbled in Prostitution (admittedly). She has no right to say that about dudes when she was apart of the same system and met her man by the same system.

Look, im just gonna keep it real with yall. There hasn't been a honest women in the industry in decades. They have all dabbled in Prostitution/Yacht Culture for years. I even know that Both Lohan and Del Ray are still talking to Harvey at this very fucking moment. The people promoting such double talk never had a sexual experience they didn't pay for or they never even had one. Im even at the point somewhat that aspects of the Church despite its massive, massive hypocrisy dealing with sex had a point - that sex and its consepts belongs to God (imo belong to nature) and not to man because if it belong to man then man will use it to destroy his own self.

Prior to the purge if you took my posts at face value without context you'd think I was a toxic, racist, sexist, gamergater, white, Nazi member of the alt-right. In reality, I'm black, voted Obama twice, and Sanders. I voted Trump this time around because of a core group of hard left leaning, identity politic group hijacked the Dem party, and also continues to, in my view, degrade the quality of games & game companies with their agendas. I'd say Neogaf moderation was full of these types of people in fact, along with many of the posters who left in the purge. So it's not that I'm "alt-right", but I'm working with them because I dislike the "Social Studies Warrior" even more.

I think Sanders could have been a fine candidate had he not bowed down to the Social Studies Warriors and Hillary Clinton. For that reason I've adopted an extreme anti-Social Studies Warrior stance, which naturally gets confused for me being alt-right, but I'm anything but.

Here's the thing, Social Studies Warriors are working with literal communists and anarchists. I'm about to get REALLY controversial and my even get banned here for this, but hear me out. Nazis were horrible monsters that did unspeakable acts in the name of discrimination against specific groups. Absolutely unacceptable. However, Communism has, despite it's good intentions, killed millions more people regardless of their sex, race, gender, or religion. So while Nazis actively discriminate, they still have killed significantly LESS people with their ideology than communists have.

So while yes Nazis are horrible, communists are arguably even worse. I really wish the media and the Left would denounce communism the way they do Nazis, but they never do. It's always an excuse about how it wasn't true communism. However, because communism isn't racist it's actually seen in a better light by Social Studies Warriors, and Nazis are the number one evil because they were racist and mean. So I'm far from being pro-Nazi, but I think it's disingenuous to freak out over Nazis when Commies are arguably worse, yet there's not the same fear for some reason.

Yet again identity politics provides cover for terrible ideas and excuses it from persecution. That's basically the whole reason I hate Social Studies Warriors.

Horizon Zero Dawn, Mafia 3, and Watchdogs 2 as examples. All three of these games made quite a deal about "diversity" and "inclusion", and if you dared speak against the very obvious agenda being pushed in these games with the way certain characters were included and implemented in the story, you were either called racist or sexist. The problem isn't with having women or blacks in games, the issue is that said groups are often times shoved into games to make a political statement of some kind by Social Studies Warriors. That's what causes controversy.

For the most extreme example just look at Wolfenstein 2. Jesus Christ, the marketing team directly implied Trump and his supporters to be Nazis multiple times with their twitter campaign.

But again, I'd be boned regardless with Commies in charge as well. So in an absolutely worst case, I'd rather take my chances with Nazis than live in a Communists state where no matter how equally the system views me, I'm still screwed.

Perhaps I am, but that doesn't make me wrong. You can't tell me that Communism is a lesser evil than Nazism. Social Studies Warriors hate Nazis, but are basically totally fine with Communism taking over. I think the alt-right would be far less likely to become full Nazi than Social Studies Warriors to become full Commie.

If I voted for either of those two then there's a very good chance Hillary Clinton and her Social Studies Warrior horde would have won. I don't trust Social Studies Warriors to have power. The alt-right aren't that great either, but I think they're far more open to logic and reason, despite their racism/sexism, than Social Studies Warriors who operate purely on emotion and are easy to manipulate.



Look up Communism's kill count vs Nazism. Less people died in the Holocaust than Commies have killed total, by like millions. Despite that Social Studies Warriors don't at all share nearly the same hatred towards Commies that they should, that's not acceptable.

What exactly about my arguments do you find "asinine", that I believe Communism to be the far bigger evil than Nazism despite it's good intentions? Are you saying Communism is ideal to Nazism? What exactly are you taking issue with? Do you believe Social Studies Warriors are less likely to be brainwashed and go full Commie than Alt-Right going full Nazi?

Be specific about what you don't agree with. My contention is that Communism is far more evil than Nazism, and that Social Studies Warriors, being as overly emotional as they are and easy to manipulate, are much more likely to go full Commie than the Alt-RIght is likely to go full Nazi. Both are terrible, but one is clearly worse than the other, with a group much more likely to be indoctrinated.

There's some argument that it's actually increased since Obama, if not in numbers then increased in ferocity. My first instinct is that for some reason that tribe feels threatened and the outpouring of behavior is in response to that. What threatens them? Not sure.

Colin gets hate because he was within the clique and left. He was in the bay area, a part of the whole douchey game journalist vibe, and was on a pod that GAF liked. Then he started saying "dangerous" things, made a joke, and peaced out. Not only that, but he moved on by essentially saying game journalist was a side thing and his real love was history, which sent the terrible message that vidya  and vidya press isn't serious.

Islam is a genuine fear for a number of people for obvious reasons. Right-wing populism has seen a significant upsurge particularly in Europe, which I imagine is fueled by Islamic terrorism and the migrant crisis. A lot of people no longer have the stomach for it any more. The levels of immigration into Europe has been absolutely unprecedented over the last decade, and people are now worried about what it means for the future. The thing is, the Left doesn't have any answers, in fact the mainstream political parties from all sides don't really have any answers, which is why there has been an upsurge in populism to begin with.

What is clear though is, the Left no longer speaks for white working-class voters and this is a big problem. They are only exasperating the problem.

Hmm.. how does Seattle, probably the most liberal city in the country, and one of the fastest growing, fit into your narrative?

And cities where all of the jobs are, thus a huge portion of the tax revenue, are a burden on the State and Federal governments?  The fuck?  lol

its called creative accounting, all of the major cities do it. See whats going on in Illinois, motherfuckers raiding the pension box.

Well first of all, the destination of migrants tends to be the richer European countries as opposed to the poorer ones. That said it is the sustained levels of immigration year over year where it is unprecedented. Take the UK for example: before 98 the level of immigration was around 40,000 a year. In recent years it was around 300,000 net and increasing.

Not sure I was clear. The tribe I refer to is the social justice tribe or the "racism everywhere" tribe. Right leaning populism (even tho the same populism shows up in pretty socialist leaning anti-immigration forms in Europe) is clearly about the dissonance between immigration impact and public messages. Both political sides know Islamist ideology is a threat, but I agree they have no clue as to how to deal with it and so they don't talk about it. Anyone who pops up to at least name it can get support.

The "everything is racist" tribe isn't a response to that response, as it precedes the current populism movement.

Globalization without a commitment to Human Space Exploration, is Exploitation of Human Beings to the point of Global Slavery.

Yikes. Who would ever want a hot woman to do that to you? Not me, because I’m a good male feminist.

Go "I'm black" as cover for when you bitch about games having diversity and inclusion. A black man bitching about a video game talking about race and featuring a black person? Lol.

Right. Hahaha. Right, riiiiight.

Yes, how can a black person have different views than other black people? As we know all blacks are Hollywood movie black people now, not one of them hates SJ Ws, or is obsessing about "communism", or doesn't like liberals obsessing with diversity or in fact likes that idiot Trump, or even has wrong opinions. Blacks are all following a specific stereotype, I mean stereotypes are wrong but you can make them right if it's a positive stereotype. Like, you know, all asians are good at math.

...turns out horseshoe theory is correct.

What if a Left leaning black man questioned the level of police brutality against black people? I wonder what Bish would think about that.

Oh wait... look

Yeah, this isn't surprising to me. A decent part of the left that isn't distinguished mentally-challenged has realized that they're being played by the neoliberal status quo and their corporate media with this onslaught of identity politics bullshit. Spiked is part of that left.

That is not to say that we have fixed society and racial/gender relations, what they're saying is that this identity politics obsessed toxic environment that media have created and the gullible liberals and even leftists blindly followed and helped preserve has made matters much MUCH worse for everyone.

Yeah. In terms of Spiked, I kind of like the argument brendan O'neill made about the Left not being Left. He called them 'reactionaries'. I kind of like the idea of riling them up by denying their leftist credentials. lol

Can we discuss this than the pseudo populist shit?

Because some users in Resetera are really competing for show who is the most woke.

I still can not believe that Colin Moriarty is too consevative for anyone. The man hates Trump with a passion and can't shut up about it. He is more socially liberal than most Libertarians, and is moderate as fuck on economics. Is this all still about the dad joke?

Nah, he's batshit crazy in some opinions which made me dislike him. Maybe he just comes off as an utter tool on Twitter, though.

Black people have our own opinions. But a black person being mad a video game had a diverse cast? A black person? They might be apathetic to it but consider it part of the problem? In a medium that is historically overwhelmingly lacking in black characters? Every black person I know who has saw Mafia had a similar reaction. I cannot fathom a black dude being MAD that entertainment is trying to become more diverse and include black people. Not all black people think the same, but we all agree that representation and seeing people who look like you is important. At most, you'll find an ambivalent black person who doesn't care. But being mad at it? Saying it's part of the problem? I can sniff out a cac pretending to be black online like a fox hound and that person ain't black. The only kind of diversity black folks have a problem with is showing LGBT people as normal. That dude is 90% most likely a cac.
