Thanks all.
Also I forgot to cover the results of the search, turns out it might be possible to not know, possibly owing to a lack of lesbian vampires, if you were otherwise really fat.

"Condoms? Sure, let's perpetuate the stereotype that women are responsible for what they put inside their vaginas instead of doing what we should do - telling men not to have V.D's."
"Vaccines? Sure, let's perpetuate the stereotype that women are responsible for their own bodies instead of doing what we should do - telling those nasty diseases to go away!"
"Seatbelts? Sure, let's perpetuate the stereotype that women are responsible for their own safety instead of doing what we should do - telling bad drivers to get better!"
"Helmets? Sure, let's perpetuate the stereotype that headgear is an essential part of a woman's outfit on a construction site instead of doing what we should do - telling debris to just f*ck off."

Nobody's forcing women to wear "roofie-detecting" nail polish, much like nobody forces women to ask their more random partners to use condoms, nor is anyone forcing them to get inoculated. Thing is, there's such a thing as "facts of life" - knowing said facts allows you to be safer.

Fact of Life #1 is that if you sleep around with partners whose sexual history is unknown to you, you should probably protect yourself from S.T.D's since they're a thing that you can get. Fact of Life #2 is that pathogens exist and cause illnesses - illnesses against which you can build an immunity if you get vaccinate. You don't have to, but you probably should unless you fancy catching a viral disease from a random stranger on the bus. Fact of Life #3 is that there are rapists in the world who put roofies in drinks. You can choose to have a litmus test for your own protection or you can just accept drinks from strangers and leave your drink unattended hoping that everything's going to be fine because #SJW's got your back. I don't fancy your chances in the latter case.

tl;dr If you accept drinks from strangers or you leave your drink unattended "stuff can happen" and it's your choice whether to have something that could potentially save your skin or just going with the flow and hoping for the best.

General triggerwarning and may contain nuts.

This whole pile of shit would be so frigging funny if the extremists of both sides wouldn't really believe the shit they are spreading: "He winked at my char in WoW (which is a Game that only offers two gender choices)! Rape! Rape!" vs. "Oh noez! The lesbocommunists want to cut my balls off!".

Shouldn't the goal be to simply not care about age, gender, heritage, whatnot and treat everyone like they treat others?

My basic behavior (aka my first move in game theory (the logic/mathematics stuff) lingo) to a new person I interact with is friendly/positive as long as I don't know for certain that it is a shitlord/dickhead/bitch/troll/lazy ass/not nice person.

But noooooo, some poltical correctness thought police needs to shove their believes down my throat because I'm a cismale white german middleaged educated gamer and thus unable to feel the plight of all the currently oppressed snowflakes. The facts that I'm bisexual and got a chronic disease doesn't seem to matter, I should advertise those two facts more often and become a special snowflake too.

Yes, there still is inequality, even in the western world. But no one can change that by spewing acid ("worse than ISIS") or creating a new language (for those of you that (believe) they can read German: https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=addeacc3 , a breakdown of http://akuniwatch.wordpress.com/2014/01/31/februar-2014/ ) riddled with "_" and "*".

If someone want's to be treated equal they should approach the others as equals and not slave masters.

Same goes for the defenders of freedom and truth: No shit Sherlocks, the gaming industry is a corrupt cesspit of nepotism, elitism and lobbyism? Just like nearly every other social construct (media, politics, sports, companies, etc)? Who could have believed that!

Yes, I know I'm preaching to the coir here, but I simply had to vent this and don't use twitter or facebook.

I just noticed something though, both hulk hogan articles are by men, both JL articles are by women, and all 4 articles are by different people. And the JL articles say Jezebel so I'm guessing its a different site.

Different sites but both are owned and operated by the same company (Gawker media, which also owns kotaku, lifehacker and Gizmodo among others).

Granted in some ways it is kind of like pointing out that the Wall Street Journal is owned by the same company as the New York Post but it does speak to a few things.

would you rather they all have the same opinion just because they're under the same roof? wouldnt that normally be a much stronger indication of corruption/bias than different people having *gasp* different opinions? :P

I mean that's basically what this thread is about. Even the internet aristocrat points it out in the above video- that these gaming sites are behaving in unison as though a single PR firm is engineering the whole thing.

rditr: my bad. on second thought gawker and Jezebel arguably do have the same opinion, which is that women are to be protected but not men. if that's what the image was trying to say then never mind. I thought it was saying "hurr hurr these people contradict themselves" :P

Sooo... a BA in English and MA in "Corporate Communications / Technical Writing" (whatever the f*uck that is - I didn't know that tinfoil hat-folding while holding a megaphone in one foot and a pen in the other is a specialization, but it sure is technical) versus a Ph.D of philosophy specializing in late 20th century feminism and a university professor? That outcome was to be expected.

People with degrees in Technical Writing I know are responsible for creating documentation/manuals in a language the user understands.One writes help texts (F1 as well as mouseover" for a tax calcualation/filing software, another service manuals for elevators. Kinda like a missing link between engineers and [language] degree holders.
