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.

All well and good to apologize even  better to not keep repeating the same behavior. Who knows when the next poster or post will trigger another meltdown. Only to be given another apology. Maybe it's time to take a break from this forum or the internet in general.

It's completely understandable to be in a state of personal flux.

Friends advise friends to re-center themselves in private rather than public.  If you have to apologize more than once after hitting a man, then fists aren't something good to use at the moment.  Same goes with the tongue.

Sure I do. His name is Jesus and I do it to Him just about every day. Somehow He keeps forgiving me for it, and I try not to do it again... but I'm really bad at it.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;1089088Anita Sarkeesian is the Fred Phelps of the Left.

Seriously, she needs to get her ass kicked by a guy like Archie Bunker.

After she gets beaten like the bitch she is, Anita Sarkeesian should make Archie a sandwich and give him a blowjob. And if she doesn't swallow his cum, then we'll deport her to North Korea!

Here is a great video where Archie Bunker utterly annihilates the concepts of "intersectionality" and "critical race theory"

Quote from: Lurtch;1089096There is nothing white people like more than a pretty white woman. Good thing she has no market power.

Dude, I know Hollywood has been lowering the bar on what's considered attractive, but Skankeesian isn't remotely pretty.


Quote from: GeekyBugle;1089128Sometimes the conartist starts believing their own tripe.

That's my take on her as well.

She jumped on the SJW bandwagon because it gave her fame and money, and its questionable whether or not she totally had drank the Kool-Aid in the early days of Gamergate, but by 2016 it was clear she was signed on wholeheartedly to her crusade.


Quote from: shuddemell;1089142Signs point to "in need of medication".

Doc needs to get his ass off the computer and walk in those beautiful Appalachian woods. Fresh air and exercise would do more for his head than a bucketful of drugs.

Quote from: Gagarth;1089046Here you go  the Anita Sarkeesian GENCON 2018 appearance showing she knows fuck all about TRPGs and even when given a softball question cannot even answer it properly. https://watch.thefantasy.network/gen-con-industry-guest-of-honor/season:1/videos/gen-con-conversations-anita-sarkesian

Uncommon conversation? More like awkward conversation.

I'm surprised they released the video at all considering how ignorant it makes her look. And despite claiming she's tired of being 'retraumitized' talking about her harassment still included a question about in the stack so she could talk about it.

Quote from: SHARK;1089072she said something like.."Once you learn about all of the misogyny, racism, and oppression...you begin to see it everywhere!"

Of course you do once you've been conditioned to interpret everything in that context! That's how conspiracy theories are established. That's how mass hysteria starts. That's how mentalists mess with our minds.

It's also why #SJWs label everything which counters it hateful, harmful, and immoral. It's why they silence critics rather than engage in debate. It's why they see inquiry as a threat. It's why audience members were not allowed to film or ask questions.
