[QUOTE=Xenomoose;46527466]TB acknowledged in that TwitLonger that wealth isn't the sole defining principle of privilege. He just used it as an example to show that race and gender aren't defining principles of privilege, either.[/QUOTE]

I went over it twice and don't see it. This excerpt
[QUOTE]When it came time to get a job I certainly did not have an advantage. It was just as hard for me as it was anyone else. When it came to the recession, it didn't matter who you were, you got shitcanned just like everybody else.[/QUOTE]
seems to imply that there was no difference for white working class people and working class people of various minorities at the time. Which may be true in England but certainly doesn't apply to the US.

Backing up what I said about American-centric social justice, there is a wealth of statistical data that shows that yes, race is very much a defining principle of privilege. Again though, not really the time or place.
I was referring to this sentence:
[quote]Even just pointing at "class" is intellectually lazy thinking, it's so much more complicated than that.[/quote]
Granted, I had misquoted a titch, but still, it's an acknowledgement that his example was still a little oversimplified.

Every day I feel more and more like I shouldn't go into the video game industry because of stuff like this.

[QUOTE=V12US;46525140]But you cannot harass white males. They have too much privilege. They will never understand what it's like to be truly, truly harassed.[/QUOTE]
Bonus points when anything directed at you constitutes an harassment attempt if you are anything but a white male.
OH SHIT SON

EC has always expressed good, if really obvious, ideas and created horrible implementations of them.

[B]Geordie Tait and Mike Cernovich $10,000 GamerGate Challenge[/B][/QUOTE]They're live now.
The challenge is apparently... a crowd-sourced muckraking contest, to gather all the horrible things the two have been recorded as saying and place it all in front of a psychiatrist to decide who is the bigger psychopath? The hell?
[QUOTE=JesseR92;46528808]I'm betting Geordie backs out .[/QUOTE]
He already backed out not even a minute into the stream.
It's now nothing more than a civilized shitflinging stream between two guys trying their hardest to not call the other a shithead.
Geordie complained that people take his words too literally. When he said all gamergaters deserved to be burned in ovens, he apparently didn't actually mean he wanted them to die.
Geordie is a retard confirmed, "I don't give a fuck about ethics"

Have you guys read what Gamerghazi is saying about Ryulong? They think of him as one of Wikipedia's best editors and that he has been nothing but fair and just.
Incredible. These people are completely delusional.

I know this is old, but one of the responses to this really stood out to me.

With the name and how uncannily this fits for the anti-GG side, I thought it might be parody, but looking at their [url=https://twitter.com/SJWreptilian]twitter feed[/url] they seem to be knee deep in the cool-aid.
Now I'm just down because I'm interested in that kind self-discovery and developing in response to criticism, but it's obvious that people such as them have no interest whatsoever in a discussion and would much rather take cheap shots for ego boosts.
If A Man in Black were a part of Facepunch, he'd get a restraining order from the mods to stop making new threads in Sensationalist Headlines.

What McIntosh's man-servant fails to notice is that the posts still see Jack Thompson in a negative light. They're just amazed that a loon like him thinks even Anita is a moron. It's not "Wow! Jack Thompson was right all along!", it's "Jesus Christ you know someone is off their rocker when the king of crazies thinks you're nuts".

Jack Thompson's main issue was children and adolescents getting access to violent video games, Sarkeesian and McIntosh think that even adults are damaged by sexist video games.
Thompson at least gave adults enough credit to not be as easily brainwashed as children.

That logic is still incredibly stupid though. Jack Thompson is an ultra-conservative, of course he's against a feminist like Anita.
I've seen posts that are saying that BasedGamer's cash requirements are still beyond belief. What do you guys think?

You mean too low? Because 50000$ isn't exactly much if you want to pull up a professional commercial website.
There is no need to correct words I parroted. I specifically meant too high.
I know too little about this to formulate an educated opinion.
