I'm sure they get more sexual harassment, but verbal abuse, death threats, and people generally saying your work is shit? Nah, I don't buy it. If it seems way, maybe it's because we are currently in a climate where we put female figures in gaming and gaming media on a pedestal. And so when people are mean to them, we are more likely to take notice where people shitting on male figures gets brushed off. --- |

Esrac 07/05/18 11:21:01 PM #127 | Tmk posted... And there's people there religiously hating that GW2 streamer guy Price attacked. That is the kind of thing online personalities like Laci Green and Liana Kerzner have been dealing with for a few years now. Kerzner is a liberal feminist youtuber who used to be a games writer, but got a lot of flak from those types because she didn't agree with Anita Sarkeesian regarding misogyny in gaming. It's likely she has been blacklisted from writing for gaming outlets because she took a neutral stance on Gamergate. Some CON chat logs from 2014 were leaked a while back. One of the people in the log was Zoe Quinn who made a point to talk about how much she hated Kerzner and would talk to editors in gaming media outlets. Kerzner hasn't had much of any writing work since then and has mostly turned to YouTube to put out her content regarding video games and feminism. --- |

They think of their Twitter as a private space that should be free of unwanted input. But it isn't that, unless you set it to private, it's a public forum where anyone can spout any thought out to anyone who want to read it and reply to it. Its why when someone says something objectionable publicly on Twitter and get a bunch of other people say they're full of shit or a liar, they then cry harassment. They think of like people coming into their personal space and shitting on their carpet. --- |

Topic | UK Magistrate Arrested After Defending Home From Assailants |
Esrac 07/05/18 12:07:28 PM #1 | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6662906/magistrate-nigel-stringer-norwich-burglary-assault-morningthorpe/ A MAGISTRATE who fought off an armed gang was arrested himself for racially aggravated assault. Nigel Stringer, 67, claimed his family had been attacked by a group of men armed with a gun, knives and even a crossbow at his Norwich home six months ago. The magistrate and property developer said he had called police as the men stormed his home before facing them with a hockey stick. Mr Stringer believes the confrontation may have been sparked by a dispute with a tenant over rent arrears, with both sides using the inflammatory term "n*****s* Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mr Stringer said: "I went outside and I kept shouting loudly at him to leave and that the police were on the way. "I used my hands and the stick to push him away from the house. He kept punching and kicking me. I was by that time bruised, bleeding and utterly exhausted." But he said the confrontation continued to escalate, claiming to see four other men nearby, calling out derogatory words. Mr Stringer said: "I had no strength left, I only had my voice and I tried to find the most shocking words to shout, thinking that if they came through that hedge we could be killed. There was nobody there to save us, we were alone. "Using their own words, I shouted 'and if you n*****s come into my garden I will f***ing hit you with this'. I merely flung their own words back at them. I am not racist." After the confrontation, the remaining intruder called police to report he had been attacked and racially abused. And when police arrived, they arrested Mr Stringer and his son on suspicion of racially aggravated assault. None of the men nearby were arrested. Mr Stringer, who has served as a magistrate for more than 20 years, is now standing down from his position to pursue private prosecution against the men. TLDR: Man uses a hockey stick to defend his home from (alleged) assailants armed with knives, a gun, and a crossbow and is arrested because he admits to using a racial slur while shouting at them to leave. The armed assailants are allowed to leave. --- |

Yeah. I like the Total War games a lot, but the DLC practices are pretty outrageous. Especially charging extra for blood in a war game. --- |

Esrac 07/03/18 9:51:40 PM #10 | DrizztLink posted... Darmik posted...While your examples are all valid it's not just about dating. It's more that social pressure to be more masculine and tough and being treated like you're a failure or less of a man if you're not. Outside of that you're correct. I don't think it's just that. It's more like attacking traditionally masculine qualities are regarded as toxic under a feminist lens. Like stoicism, aggression, and capacity for violence. If it were just about not shutting on people who aren't traditionally masculine, then I don't think we would have social critics ragging on characters like Kratos for being so toxically masculine. --- |

Topic | is superman still weak to magic |
Esrac 07/02/18 10:07:34 PM #42 | Darmik posted... spikethedevil posted...The argument was if it was THE ONLY THING that could damage the boss. Magic counts as weakness as it's the only other thing that can hurt him. If you've ever played Shin Megami Tensei, magic would be like the Almighty element. It effects almost all targets normally, but no target is weak to it. Compared to targets that take additional damage from fire, ice, electric, wind, or physical attacks. In the case of Superman, he would take normal damage from magic, but be weak to kryptonite and red sun radiation. So, in this video game analogy, attacks with the kryptonite property would deal additional damage and grant an extra turn, while magic would deal normal damage. A_Good_Boy posted... Was Achilles' heel his weak point or just a spot where he wasn't immune from harm? Not really a good comparison when Superman has other things he actually is weak to. So much so that bring some things kryptonite is an idiom as well known as being something's Achilles' heel. --- |

Compare it to a video game with resistances and immunities. Like Shin Megami Tensei. Superman would reflect bullets, resist explosions, neutral to magic, and weak to kryptonite and red sun radiation. Magic doesn't effect Superman especially, he just doesn't resist it. It works the same on him as any normal guy. But he is weak to kryptonite because it harms him in an extreme way that it doesn't harm other people. --- |
