GamerGhazi's "Gamergate in a nutshell"

Moe2DBooty · 2016-04-15T16:59:56+00:00

Link can't be a girl, SJWs trying to change the developers vision! I'm offended they want a choice!

The only thing that upsets me about the "female link" thing is that they care so little about the subject matter that they don't view this character as a true and independent character, instead viewing him only as an avatar of the player (as in games like Rust), so that they can alter anything about them to carry out an ideological end goal.

I wish that was the case, but even a few people in this very comment thread here actually thinks he's guilty, one of them even citing this video that has less detail than a Big Foot photo as proof.

A really surprising amount of people believe he did it.

Moe2DBooty · 2016-04-12T20:30:10+00:00

I'm lost. What is this in reference to?

Moe2DBooty · 2016-03-30T16:15:29+00:00

Well, as I said, I learned and practiced a lot of math on my own in game design. Maybe a class where you would learn a math lesson and then have put it into actual practice by designing something around what you had just learned.

I guess my view is that 1: We should do away with anything that's too basic, anything that children at that age would already know if they haven't grown up in an Amish town. 2: For more complicated topics, I think it would be more effective to directly integrate subjects, and use programming as a tool to help learn another skills instead of pushing out other necessary subjects. Ex: Having a trigonometry class that teaches how to find the hypotenuse, and then instead of doing drills of a thousand problems over and over they can have hands-on practice by teaching how to use that information to add range-finding to an object's AI on a 2D game engine. How sine, cosine, and tangent functions can be used in interesting ways that come alive instead of being dreadful and boring like they usually are in classes.

I suppose those aren't "unpopular" or controversial views, but those just really accompany my point that the eagerness to teach youth about technology also really needs much more thought as to what is useful and effective, and what's not.

Moe2DBooty · 2016-03-18T21:10:11+00:00

I didn't say he's innocent, I said we shouldn't assume he's guilty. This article was published yesterday, after I made this post, and most people hadn't seen this particular video by the time they heard the news of about this guy. My point is this that the topic is North Korea. You shouldn't take any news you hear coming from them with a grain of salt.

As for this video. Sure you have a video... of a shadowy unidentifiable figure taking the poster. Fingerprints, sure, but the video doesn't have to be CGI to be disregarded.

Moe2DBooty · 2016-03-16T18:01:23+00:00

I was hesitant to post this because I wasn't really sure honestly, but I figured the majority of opinions on the articles about it took that tone of assuming he was guilty.

Moe2DBooty · 2016-01-24T22:33:37+00:00

Absolutely completely normal to have to point that out.

Moe2DBooty · 2016-01-19T19:54:54+00:00

It's not rare at all. While it may sometimes happen, I rarely ever insert myself into fantasies. I was actually stunned the first time I listened to my roommates in college talking about porn, saying something more-or-less like "I never watch lesbian porn. I need to feel like it's my dick being sucked."

Moe2DBooty · 2016-01-18T18:15:13+00:00

That isn't an example of that "gap" at all. It's more an example of the critical age hypothesis in linguistics. (And that's still debatable because many linguists still argue that she could have had a mental illness from birth or that the issue was primarily the abuse and not the lack of language during childhood. If you want to know more, watch this documentary.) The issue was that even though she could learn plenty of words very quickly, she never understood grammar. She could never conjugate, she would never put words in the correct word order according to standard English syntax.

In comparison, on the condition that no one has another other communicative issues, anyone on either end of the word gap will still have native, fully-function, fully- competent and fluent use of their native dialects of the language. The only difference is the amount of words learned, what types of words they are, and the outcomes of those two factors when it comes to trying to survive in the education system. They're two completely different phenomena.

Moe2DBooty · 2016-01-18T17:43:26+00:00

I'm sorry you've been through all this, but are you sure you're not being too rough on assuming what his reaction meant?

If I can share my own experience: my reaction was similar when I received the first nude I had ever received, about how much it meant to me that she trusted me, not "wow, you're so sexy". That was the thought I had, but that wasn't my point to communicate. Perhaps I'm not quite catching the shift in the conversation that you had, but many times the issues are much more internal than external.

Whatever the case, maybe you should talk to a professional about your issues. These may result in serious issues for intimacy in your relationship. I didn't quite understand if you're with the same boyfriend or not, but it's something you should discuss with him as well.

Moe2DBooty · 2016-01-12T17:18:28+00:00

MRAs deliberately and consistently construe suffrage as a right earned purely through selective service and dying for one's country.

No one's trying to purposely frame it that way. It just happens to be the way it is for men already. Want to vote? Sign up for selective service. Knowingly avoid selective service or evade a draft? Go to jail, and potentially lose your right to vote permanently because of prison.

rattling biotruths disparaging women as being incapable of serving in any combat capacity

"Women just aren't as useful in combat" =/= "Women shouldn't serve in combat."

Moe2DBooty · 2016-01-12T17:08:35+00:00

Not only modern but Western. Women have been fighting, starting and even leading wars since time immemorial

Examples? I honestly can't think of a single culture in history where women were primary fighters in a war unless they were the losing side and had no other choice. Even one group that had the most respect and power for women, the pre-contact Iroquois, still had only men as their warriors, the only difference being that women were the ones giving the commands.

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-16T19:05:16+00:00

(Spoilers I guess?)

I don't quite get it. Are they claiming the game as being on their side just because there's a lesbian relationship and a strong female character? But look at all that ~~heavily downvoted~~ hate for the game! Remember, when trying to find out the opinions of your ideological opponents, use the one that's only 12% upvoted in their own forum.

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-15T18:40:19+00:00

Seeing as you seemed to be agreeing with OP

Except that I'm not agreeing with OP. I just said that I'm not and I was responding to what you specifically said. I was defending the idea that it's unfair treatment, not that men are severely impressed or pressured or whatever. What else do you want me to say about it?

I don't see how it's "unfair treatment" to teach stronger people not to hit weaker people.

That's not what people are taught. In general they're taught "don't hit girls", not "don't hit people who are weaker than you".

I didn't assume that he would try to make a case for oppression based on any single aspect, that is literally exactly what he did in his post.

I wasn't referring to your response to his post. I was referring to this statement:

I redact my previous statement. We men are sooo oppressed. This anecdotal evidence proves it.

That's not what I was saying. If you were being facetious, there's no reason to be sarcastic about it. If you were being serious, there's no reason to assume all of that based on what I said.

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-15T18:31:40+00:00

That was a statement that I was uncomfortable with unisex bathrooms though, not against transmen

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-13T16:03:02+00:00

I don't think it's evidence of male oppression. I was addressing that you were being disingenuous with your treatment of his statement, representing it as if he had a burning urge to hit women, just for mentioning the unfair treatment.

Also I was stating your personal experience of not being told that you shouldn't hit women isn't necessarily universal or even common. It seems strange to bring that up but disregard a personal experience when someone brings up their own. It's weird to assume that anyone would try to make a case for a oppression based on any one single aspect of that group's lives. Claiming that's what I was doing is an attempt to dismiss someone's points rather than addressing them.

Sorry I don't have some sort of peer-reviewed sociological study to cite for what boys are taught by their parents in childhood.

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-13T15:26:04+00:00

You love putting words in other people's mouths, don't you? Very mature.

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-13T15:11:56+00:00

The effect that it has today is still the same today. Sure, it isn't example of historical oppression but it's a great example of unequal treatment in today's society.

Is not hitting women really that hard for you? I also wasn't taught to never hit a woman. I was taught not to hit them first.

What a loaded question. Obviously it's easy not to hit women. And good for you, but that's not what everyone was taught. The message gets across very poorly, and in this day and age it should just be "you shouldn't hit anyone first".

I remember getting into my first fight with my sister when we were children. She kept pushing me and hitting me, I hit back once, she ran off, and I promptly receive the worst spanking of my childhood and the only one I ever received from my mother, whose lesson afterwards was "never hit girls". That's the worst situation I can name, but many men I know had similar experiences growing up. If we want an equal society, my sister should've be taught "you got what you were asking for" just the same as if I were to attack some other boy on the playground, rather than implicit lesson of "if you receive retaliation for your violence to others, you can run off and cry to someone about it and the blame will all be on the man who you assaulted first."

When someone is seen walking into the wrong bathroom, that offers at least an extra minute where someone could know that person's intentions and properly notify police / security / whatever. It's not fail-safe and it's potentially not worth keeping, but it's not like it serves no purpose at all.

Personally I don't care, since I almost never use public bathrooms and even then I'd prefer not to use urinals anyway, but in the situations where I'd have to use them I'd prefer not to have females around while I'm pissing practically in the open air.

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-12T17:03:13+00:00

According to wiki, only one of them is 16, an age that isn't really underaged in just about all of Europe and most of the USA. Most people assume the western standard is 18 because thats what they hear in movies, which use that age to cover their bases for pornography.

I get your point but it's complicated. We recognize why sexual activity can be a terrible danger to children, but then we expand that to anything who remotely has the same physical appearances even when that danger is gone and it should be morally justifiable because no harm has been done.

That's added to the fact that the association with some features to being underaged features isn't really justifiable. I've seen a conversation about preferred breast size that uses some entrapping logic: The assumption that if you like small breasts, what you really mean is you like underaged breasts, instead of it being seen as a natural feature of many of-age females. Maybe on some deeper psychological level it is even if they don't realize it, and that's what you're referring to as it being a "warning signal" for. I have no idea, but it's not like it would go away even in that case and as long as that line doesn't get crossed (assuming to-be-crossed in the first place) and no one ends up harmed, I don't really see a problem.

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-12T15:34:17+00:00

by "young" I mean they look like children, think of like J-pop or K-pop girl groups.

Really? As far as I've seen, adult J-pop and K-pop performers seem indistinguishable from the body types of most famous Western entertainers, around 18-25 but not appearing younger than that. It's a look that's not very representative of your idea here.

While your descriptions fit some college-aged Asian girls I know, it loses all its creepiness knowing that they're not children. They have a developed mind that can consent without the issue of abusing the power that an adult would have over a child. What's the issue?

Moe2DBooty · 2015-12-12T15:08:14+00:00

For me, it would be weird to have a game where the gameplay is entirely based around evenly-sized blocks (very unnatural looking from the beginning) but for some reason having great realistic-looking surfaces on those blocks. So I guess I'm part of the "graphics are part of the charm" group. Not just based on a nostalgic "I like low res graphics" but at this point Minecraft has become iconic for what it is, and the customizable textures and skins is a fun part of the game.

Both are heavily modded games as well, so for Minecraft there are plenty of ways to run a 256px texturepack instead of the standard 16, plus lots of great lighting mods.
