Any news from the Might No. 9 team?


I don't have the links on me now, but there was a bit of a shitstorm recently. Dina's blocked people from the forums and the game's twitter for supporting GamerGate. This includes backers, the people who funded the game in the first place; one person was blocked despite giving $300 to the Kickstarter.

Shit's bonkers, yo.

Turns out childism is actually a thing. Sort of. I though the above pic made up the term childism as a joke, but there is actually a book called Childism. There isn't a Wikipedia page for childism, though. Not yet.

edit: Wait, does childism mean the abuse of children, or being against the abuse of children?

racism = bad
sexism = bad
feminism = against sexism (good)

OK well I think the book on childism uses childish to mean abuse, so childism = bad

meaning there is currently no word for being against childism.

edit: android keeps fucking autocorrecting childism to childish. Okay, I get it, childism is not a word. No need to rub it in!

So I watched the south park episode... I am not sure it ultimately said much of anything. However with me frequenting this topic I might be more... culturally aware than I normally am so I might have overlooked what was otherwise a nice primer. Mind you this might be a marginal repeat of the Muhammed thing (they already did it many series before).

This is what happens when you get offended by something without even seeing it. The episode itself was pretty evenhanded, and treated the issue with actual delicacy. Then again, the message was less about trans people and more about how great Lorde is, which I can't argue with.

Good thing these people don't watch any Steve Brule, though, or they'd be triggered to death by now.

Here's an update on the South Park outrage.

How embarrassing.

Speaking of embarrassing...

All the self-awareness of a calculator. Give the calculator some credit, though; at least it's useful to society.

That's a good point, asker. However, why are you so preoccupied with your gender identity? There's starving children in the Congo that would kill for gender dysmorphia if it meant they could enjoy your cushy first world existence. Check your privilege. /s

Because of course.

Actual Quote said:
A lot of advice is thrown at women to be considered equals in the workplace — lean in, speak up, be confident, demand raises and promotions, don’t dress “slutty” — which in itself is problematic because it places the onus on women to correct the culturally entrenched male dominance in workplaces.

For someone championing women, she seems pretty horrified at the thought of women having responsibility.

You mean all those times I said "I quite like this [paid for] book, however you can pick up a lot it from [this free website]" (also substitute as appropriate for software where you might just have to do a bit more work) I was in fact a bad person?
