Oh I know. I'm wondering why these programs do not exist outside of the military.

My real point is that us white people like to pretend that our school washardand that we deserve success because of all the hard work we did in school. And it's all a complete fucking joke.

I too am in agreement with the idea that if you set low expectations that people will tend to rise no further. Mist should definitely be made to do at least three pull ups.

I'm a German American. I would appreciate if you would respect my heritage when you discuss my race. Thank you. To lump me in with a group of people that I have about as much racial heritage as I do with the Palestinians show tremendous disingenuity and disdain.

The one thing that I have determined after looking into this uproar within the gamingand techcommunity and in our campuses and all the way up to the lips of the President himself, is that if we are not mature enough to immediately sniff out political manipulation this obvious, we deserve what we get.

Rocking back and forth on your fupa using the momentum of your flappy fun bags ricochetting off of the ground does not count as a push up. Believe me, I know.

I'd to tell a story that I believe is lost from the global narrative. At one time in history, there was an empire so vast and powerful they dominated three continents. They made slaves of everyone. They brought all the slaves together and engaged in campaign of breeding for traits so extensive that the effects are obvious and documentable to this very day.
Eventually this empire declined and disintegrated, but the slaves remained. Largely divided into several castes, including the group that had been bred for war, and the group that had been bred to be the scribes and run the empire. And with the crumbling of the empire the scribes retained the capability for writing and they held on to this control dearly. The kept this knowledge so secret that the rest of the world descended into a deep dark age. The scribe caste despised the other slaves so much that they disavowed their singular heritage and common origin as a product of this slave empire. And through their total control over the means of writing and mass communication they manipulated history and enforced a segregation. Eventually, many many years later, after all the other slave castes had successfully integrated and adopted a singular culture the scribe cast refused to adopt their brethren. They maintained a total control over this slave nations politics and economy, until finally the lower classes rose up and toppled the scribe usurpers. Yet somehow, to this very day, the lower classes that revolted get the credit for the hatred and segregation and bloody revenge that being controlled by the scribe class had caused.
So, would you like to know what it feels like to be on the losing side of a propaganda war?

clearly you infest every topic from the same lense, saying that you have no choice in what you choose to talk about is hilarious.

I honestly don't know if you're being intentionally obtuse or not. The sexist asshole gamers are giving gamers as a whole a bad name. Instead of creating sub-categories of gamers based on level of assholeness, the author is talking about gamers with a specific focus on those of us that are sexist assholes. He makes it clear SEVERAL times that not all gamers are like this, but you're choosing to be offended because the title was shittily worded (aCrackedstaple). Myself and many other gamers can read that article and never once get the impression that we are being unfairly judged or categorized. Again, I think you need a pre-existing chip on your shoulder to be angry at a guy for calling out sexist asshole behavior as being unacceptable and harmful. But whatever, you ignored what I had to say about this already so it's pointless to go around in circles.
You're just being silly now. Seriously. I've said repeatedly that there is valid criticism of Sarkeesian. I have linked valid criticism of Sarkeesian. I have expressed my own valid criticism of Sarkeesian. You know what all of this valid criticism had in common? Nobody expressing this criticism said they wanted to drink blood out of her ripped open cunt. If you need to threaten to rape and kill someone to criticize them; if you need to refer to someone as a "cunt" or "whore" to criticize them; if you need to use explicitly misogynist and hateful language to criticize someone, then guess what? YOU ARE A SEXIST ASSHOLE.
You WANT to believe these sexist assholes have a good point but are just expressing it the wrong way. Unfortunately, you're completely and utterly delusional and it pains me that you can't see the forest for the trees. There are many good fights worth fighting. Do you know why this one is so popular? BECAUSE IT ALLOWS SEXIST ASSHOLES TO FULFILL THEIR DESIRE TO HATE ON WOMEN. I honestly don't understand how you can't see that. There are so many injustices in this world, so much corruption, so much cheating and lying and abusing and outright killing, but apparently the one issue that all these guys consider worth fighting for is a woman who thought it might be worthwhile to criticize the portrayal of women in video games. That's the greatest irony of all. People complaining that Sarkeesian can't be criticized when her one contribution to gaming has been constructive criticism, and that's what all these guys HATE. Yes, Lith, the "core reason" for why Sarkeesian and Quinn were targeted IS different from why Thompson was targeted. You WANT to believe it's not, but that's just an assumption on your part. Unfortunately all the readily available evidence points otherwise.
So you're anti-bias? That's fantastic! Bias exists on a gargantuan scale within a tremendous spectrum of ideas expressed in the world. If the one sliver you choose to focus on happens to be the same one that the lowest scum of the Earth have chosen to hijack for their sick and twisted reasons, I don't know what to tell you. I would think if there was actual concern there, one would try to shut these assholes up since they're doing so much obvious harm to the actual "legitimate criticism warriors" (LCWs) trying to draw attention to actual flaws within gaming journalism. If there was no actual concern there, I imagine the only rational decision would be to choose another of the many examples of bias in journalism.
You don't have to "feel bad" about demanding more from mainstream media. But that doesn't mean you have to jump to conspiracy-theory level shit just because a bunch of sexist assholes are criticizing something that is actually worthy of some criticism (unbeknownst to them). You think Sarkeesian is worth criticizing? Fucking criticize her! If you can do it without references to her genitals and it's worth reading, people will read it! We have access to unlimited information sharing and you're complaining because the one slice of media that is guaranteed to not cover all worthwhile topics reasonablymight possiblynot be covering one particular worthwhile topic because the greatest sexist assholes the world has ever seen have single-handedly demolished any reasonable conversation that could possibly happen about the topic, well... it seems a little iffy.
