Now I do recall the earlier picture in this thread but I had no idea avoiding betty swollocks was behaviour so offensive as to warrant a piece in the daily heil,

Anyway as we have not seen misplaced outrage, and courtesy of 2014 wipe it was on my mind...

So failing to mention trans people is "erasing them" but now going out of your way to include trans people is also bad. Apparently, we perpetually exist in a state where we both distinguish them and not distinguish them or be labelled transphobic (I'd say "transmisogynistic," but doesn't that exclude trans men?).

I never knew I was Schrodinger's Bigot.

I guess there's more to chicken gains than I realized.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, AKA screwed coming and going.

On the life cost of meat

I once saw a phrase along the lines of "save a tree, eat a beaver" and that is logic I can get behind. By this logic the one cow that feeds my family of four for some time is but one life claimed, the amount of potatoes, vegetables and plants in general that need to get nibbled to obtain sufficient nutrition* is definitely more than that. Now there would be those that point at things like needing so many acres of farmland to produce one cow and inefficiencies during that chain, however I prefer to look at it as eating that one cow instead saves so many more.

*it need not be pointed out that some of those that this topic concerns have... creative interpretations of proper nutrition.

You say that but I would have read it as #fat-jealousy.

And on another note... Now PCGamer is offended by the "PC Master Race" joke.

I obviously realize that no one is actually saying that PC gamers are the preferred people of Hitler. That’s absurd, and it’s supposed to be absurd. It’s a joke. It just isn’t a joke worth keeping around at the expense of making people uncomfortable about the hobby we're supposed to be promoting—and, selfishly, I’d rather not look like a tasteless jackass. I’d be mortified if my friends and family thought I were part of something called the “PC Master Race.”

This isn’t a plea for political correctness—not associating oneself with Nazi pastiches is just good living. It’s fun to treat our hobby like a club and build camaraderie, but I don’t think a reference to white supremacy is going to encourage club membership.

Wow, just when I thought youtube* and IMDB** comments on films were set to make a comeback (I linked some stuff below but nothing really great yet) games world comes out with something like that.

I observed something and I'm going to shoehorn false claims about what I observed doing something that offends me when really I'm just looking for shit to complain about to get attention and to make something about me.

which is even mnore ironic considering Katniss's character devolves into an atypical female with dependency issues and PTSD, ESPECIALLY when you see her portrayal in the movies.

But no shes female and has a bow, so obviously shes strong and don't need to man... besides peeta... and that other guy... and... yea...

"Well, she got shot by 4 guys." - I guess you could say she was... gangbanged.

I would make a joke about being airtighted but that might be in bad taste given the events in question.

Hence the shoehorning part, 90% of these people's claims are bullshit observations to try to brainwash people into believing something that isn't there.

Why is it that this thread always devolves into cloaked discussion of all our various fetishes?
