    And until she does to your satisfaction, go bullies and harassers? Yay for you, you most be proud of that moral victory, or something.

    No one's buying this one. Better think up some new reasons to take Sarkeesian.

    Whatever it takes to avoid talking about her actual criticisms, right?

    I noticed 14D has taken up the bullshit motto of Sarkeesian and her ilk. "If you disagree with my unfounded assertions, why, then you SUPPORT RAPE!"

    14D can suck a dick because that is the only response such garbage deserves.

    You have missed 14D's picking up of the "... THEN YOU SUPPORT RAPE" mantle? It was a favorite of Sarkeesian and her supporters on twitter and it is a complete load of horse shit. One can easily disagree with her positions and yet not be guilty of "supporting rape".

    Yet it is her favorite argumentioned when she loses a debate. It is a load of horse shit and exposes how intellectually bankrupt her side is.

    Do you have a link to that? Because I suspect you're simply bad at reading.
    I have your permission, do I? :polarslam2:

    Demonstrates that you aren't paying much attention. Maybe if you paid more attention, you wouldn't keep embarrassing yourself with juvenile stupidity. I know why you make the mistake on the neo-con ad homonym, but where does the rapey stuff come from? That's you who supports rape, because you hardly mention it in your rage posts.

    I have now officially lost track of this argument. Where do the porn stars come in?

    Apparently you can't complain about how women are depicted in video games unless you're also rushing to the aid of porn stars/rape victims whenever you're asked?

    I think it's more about laughing at useful idiots who are on Anitas bandwagon.

    When part of your criticism involves feigning offense at the plight of sex-workers, yeah, people kind of expect you to be consistent.
    I know, wacky concept, right?

    I'm actually depressed.
    I knew people could get so wrapped up in their ideology they could lose sight of logic, but leaving morals behind, that's really stunned me.
    I'm seriously disappointed in a lot of people here, and I don't know if I can find forgiveness for them.
    I mean, I know I've said before in sarcastic jest that I feel uncomfortable here, but due to what I've seen today, now my flesh really crawls seeing new posts bump up from these people.
    I'm actually kinda nauseous.

    Well that's why I don't take this place too seriously.

    Some people are OK, and some are just fundies of whatever their ideology is.

    EDIT: That's why I don't rally to either camp here, both tend to demonstrate equal levels of dogmatic stupidity.

    LOL...after the way your side has been blowing each other you have the nerve to say that?

    Man, I used to think you were reasonably bright even if I disagreed with you. But lately you're making baba look like a MENSA candidate.

    They are misdirection, and come in at the point where Dicky realizes he's lost the argument.

    Ah yes, the time honored tradition of just declaring yourself "the winner".

    Maybe it'll fool someone...probably not.

    If you re-read the thread you might feel better, after all the things you claimed I was saying never actually happened so I can't imagine everything else you might have imagined.
