There is a portion of the advocacy groups that seem intent on controlling sex.

Man, the bar for "sexual assault" is getting pretty low if #metoo includes flirting and giving attention to with a woman who was flirting back...

What about pulling someone's bed out of their living area, peeing on it, then throwing the pee at them?

CONTEXT MATTERS

To be fair to Ami, most of the gals he's into pee their beds as well.

It is gracious of you to not hate me. I have struggled a lot with trying to understand power dynamics and my own approach to flirting, and that is why I've turned to outside help. But this is not an excuse for making you or anyone else uncomfortable. Again, I am sorry.

what a dummy

Tough to be a famous nerd these days.

- No regular female wants to fuck you, because you are a nerd
- Can't fuck girls who would be attracted to your nerd power, because power dynamics

And apparently the bar for being an uber-powerful nerd who can be accused of taking advantage of their position is pretty low.

OH WELL BACK TO HENTAI

Man, the bar for "sexual assault" is getting pretty low if #metoo includes flirting and giving attention to with a woman who was flirting back...

10% of Men and 5% of Women of age 18-24 allegedly believe that a Man asking a Woman out for drinks constitutes sexual harassment.

Relatively low, but still astounding that these percents aren't 0. Also that 10% of men are probably skeevy as fuck.

https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/11/01/sexual-harassment-how-genders-and-generations-see-/

That said I'm all for actual sexual misconduct being exposed. But it just goes to show that some people will try to latch onto any victim movement as either the victim or the white knight.

I'm loving that so many scumbags are getting outed, but if we are going to start dropping allegations with a bar so low I've got a few #metoo posts I could make about a few clingy girls (and guys) from my past.

It's just sort of a reality though isn't it. No matter the domain, someone is going to abuse the situation without a shred of irony.

I was flirted with over DM and that is *~`|{[NOT OK]}`~*. Still recovering from the words.

See I guess this is the problem. I have a hard time joking about this stuff because it's a very real issue, but I'm not sure she did anyone any favors. Maybe she left a chunk out, maybe this is a relative aggression where to her it was a huge deal, and to others it wouldn't have been. She needed a friend to really help her through this one before posting on social media because if she has some emotional issues (as she has stated) she's about to have a very bad time I would think. 

This idea of depending on self-affirmation through likes is getting out of control.

@austin_walker At what point do I boycott a gaming outlet (Polygon) when sexual misconduct becomes commonplace and they do nothing about it?

I'm very angry at Phil, but also know that the site has a lot of women on staff (including in management positions) who do great work. It is a complicated decision, and I don't think I'd hold it against anyone either way.

Has anyone used the term 'Gentleman Kollar' in an article about this creep yet?

[fistfulofmetal]

I'm worried that we're reaching a point where smaller situations are being blown up and put on public display and are being treated with the same equivalence to the Harvey Weinstein deal. On one hand I don't want to tell a victim how they should feel about what they went through - on another I think not everything needs to be aired publicly.

[I'm a Puppy!]

man, and just this weekend I was telling my son to be careful of crazies because there are certain kinds of people that if they're not actively embroiled in some drama, they'll simply create it.

Case in point.

the stories told about him when I was with 1UP seemed to suggest that he used pretentious takes on "polyamory" to push women into situations that suited him.

So you’re telling me that @sdirtythugnasty would try to slide into peoples DM’s?

It’s almost like going to @deeznuts for a nuanced opinion.

guys reddit is amazing, why are people going to RE instead

[injurai]

Well, EA was voted the worst company in the US two years in a row thanks to Reddit. Even beating out banks that at the time were involved in scandals against the American people. Not surprised EA earns the worse rated comment in Reddit history.

that one should really be taken off the ledger against them

the NFL wanted to go exclusive, like it was doing with all its licensing at the time, EA was going to pay almost anything to keep Madden

the NFL was also upset with 2K's selling their games at $20 as they believed it diminished the NFL brand especially when EA lowered their price to $40 to compete, the NBA was also slightly upset with this practice but always had effectively an "anyone who wants it" licensing policy

2K stupidly fucked the whole thing up by letting that loss turn into a bidding war over MLB rights which were so bad the company never made money off of it and stopped putting out the games as soon as they were able to under the agreement...this also indirectly led to them bailing out of NHL games too

i always thought they should have backed out and let EA eat that MLB cost too as a sign of good will

[etiolate]

HOT TAKE: The NBA becoming just a 2k franchise has been just as shitty as Madden getting the NFL license exclusive.

But the NBA isn't just a 2K franchise. EA has never dropped the license, even acquired the NBA Jam name, while Midway and Sony both continued to hold a license until 2010.

It's become a 2k franchise, not that it's contractually llmited as is the NFL case.  EA helps this by fucking up Live, but 2k running out the same faulty approach every year without any real competition is just as lame as the Madden scenario.

That's what 2K's always done with it. It's what they did with NFL too.

VC's NBA 2K engine truly dates back to NBA Action 98 for the Sega Saturn/PC. It's like Call of Duty in that you can play the games in order and see how they've dabbled with it over time. I'm sure there's nothing left of it but even if you went 98->2K->2K3->2K6->etc. you'd notice the similarities and evolution in basic mechanics especially the animation handling.

EA's had the opposite problem in that they've scrapped and started new engines over and over, even when they didn't need to. Rather than doing anything incremental for more than a year or two. The best considered Live games historically were always second or third iterations of the engine.

Madden's had a bit of both as its issue over the years.

FLASH FACT: VC worked on the cancelled PS1/Saturn Madden 96 and were one of EA's sports developers before EA brought that all in house. After the cancellation, they did NHL 97 and split off, before landing in the warm bosom of Sega.
