This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Reckall;558556Actually, what you are missing, and big time, is how a rapist wants "power, or anger, or other related headfuckery" through my body. Hence the rape - by definition a violation of the most private belongings, both physical and mental, of the individual.

I could also point out, BTW, with all your attempts at "modern, wise thinking", how you constantly assume that people around you equate rape with "beautiful women" and only when they are "wearing a string bikini". Rape can be man on woman, woman on woman, man on man or even woman on man. Rape is perpetrated by an individual against another individual. Gender, race, way of dressing, religious affiliation etc. can all be an initiating factor according to circumstances (like a war) and the mind of the perpetrator - but not "THE REASON".

So, please, spare us words of wisdom like:



...Which only prove your inability to read what others actually write, not to mention your faith in the "Forces of Banality". Two cents for you: we were already there. And "prevention" can just be that: don't go in a dark alley while you are drunk. Or, even better, don't drive while you are very tired - even if the one who at the end burns the red light is the other guy
...signifying nothing.

Quote from: 1989You walk around showing off your body . . . don't be surprised if something bad happens to you. You were asking for it. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying, accept the advice as the truth.

It's just common sense. These women dress like this to show off, to get men's attention. It's no secret.

Finally, someone had the guts to say, hey, you're dressing like sluts. There was some cognitive dissonance in the minds of these women . . . "hey, society has come to the point, where, yes, I am allowed to dress like a slut . . . and, hey, it's true, I am dressing like a SLUT!" The truth hurts. They took offense. They want to dress like sluts, and not be labelled as such. They want to have their cake and eat it, too.
Yeah, like others, I'm not buying this.  This is a thin excuse to use the issue of rape to push a Puritanical view, but rape isn't set off by showing off one's body.

I'm in Canada, where this whole slutwalk thing originated.

That police officer was telling like it is, and giving prudent, commonsense advice, the same as a parent might give a child.

But, of course, the feminists, young, idealistic, and uneducated as they are, had to jump all over this, and take ombrage.

Same thing on RPGnet. Young, entitled, and uneducated.

Summer dude, shit gets hot and folks dress skimpy to beat the heat.
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

Exactly, especially here in the Midwest it's been 100° two weeks running with the typical humidity.  You're insane if you're not wearing at least a Sundress with some open toed sandals to work like me.

Benoist is hated?

I think that the only people who hate Ben-wah are the human-shaped counting machines from the gaming den, and they hate everything that has a soul.

If I meet Ben in real life, I'm totally gonna buy that nigga some draaaanks.

Note the quotation marks. It's a joke son, but seriously I like him lots and respect him even though I disagree with him on some things. I still want to be as respected as he is. You could call me a fangirl, he has views and he has the set to defend them. That's what I call awesome in my book.

Quote from: The Traveller;558550Lets try spelling this out. A mugger wants your money. Hence the mugging. A rapist isn't particularly interested in sex.

Except that he blows his load at the end.

I hear people say that rape isn't about sex, but I don't know if I completely buy that. Some of it has to be. Any crime where the criminal pop his cork at the end has to be about sex on some level. My problem is that as soon as someone throws that out there they are just a couple steps away from being accused of blaming the victim.

Defending views doesn't take a "set" and is really only commendable when you aren't wrong, as a general thing.

I don't think that Benoist's views are often wrong, but I would like to point out that the Westboro Baptist Church defends their views as well, however poorly.

Are you meaning ejaculate? Sometimes it doesn't happen. But the thing is it's the domination in all forms that trip their trigger, clothes have nothing to do with it.

Good day to do it but I like him and trying my best to give me an excuse not to IL him. People mess up this is his Mcguffin for me. He does clarify downthread but he has work to do to completely convince me. Luckily I 'm fairly "coolheaded".:)
