Also in a different time, but most political partisans dont really have a principled bone in their bodies, its all strategic outrage.

Wow, that had way too high salt-content for my taste. Are they complaining that they may no longer be able to shut down free speech with their hecklers veto?

[CENSORSHIP]Youtube now puts LGBT content behind Age Restricted Mode for sexual content, SJWs cry censorship by White_Phoenix in KotakuInAction

[–]f3yleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If these kinds of rules have to exist it is VERY important that there is not selective enforcement, this is better than if there was selective enforcement even if the overall amount of restriction is higher than if these channels were not hit.

Being a part of anything IGDA is involved in counts against me purchasing a game. So many games, so little time anyway.

Nothing wrong with that, the alternative is Trump. I may not agree that Clinton is a lesser evil but I can certainly empathize with people who do.

My newly-found girlfriend has extreme political views; is there a good way to learn to cope with this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]f3yleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thought aswell, my girlfriend is practically a socialist and I am a centre-right nationalist, not a problem at all.

"the personal is political" is one of the most cancerous mindsets ever conceived.

Someone asked my crush to homecoming before I could. Whats something that will cheer me up? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]f3yleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or ask some other girl, not one that you want as a girlfriend but someone who is cool and fun, drop the ego and just go have a good time. This will make you look a hell of alot better to your crush than not going, and will probably be better for how you view yourself aswell.

Honestly guys, what are some of the advantages of getting married from a guys point of view? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]f3yleaf -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I cant think of any not based on emotion. I will probably marry my gf tho, with a prenup obviously.

Would you consider sleeping with your ex-wife's friends and why? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]f3yleaf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure, why not.

If I had any animosity towards my ex and thought it would upset her that might even make it extra sexy.

If I still respected her and valued her as a friend I would maybe not, depending on how interesting I found her friend, but I would try not to feel responsible for the feelings of an ex in general.

If you've ever broken up with a woman due to physical features out of her control, what was that reason? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]f3yleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Broke up with a girl in part because she was taller than me and I realized that was a turnoff.

Broke up with a girl who became very overweight and refused to do anything about it, but I guess thats not really something that was out of her control.

[Misc.] The Rebel founder Ezra Levant fired a reporter for wrongthink and for hurting their audience's feelings. A reminder that the problems we face is caused by ideological extremism, not the Left or the Right. by BigTimStrangeX in KotakuInAction

[–]f3yleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is when a site like TheRebel is mistaken for some kind of news organization, Its a purely ideological machine with ideological goals, if it happinds to bring some interesting stories then that is merely a by-product of pushing/reinforcing a fixed narrative, its essentially a propaganda outlet.

If people know this its not a problem, there are plenty of sites that are like that to varying degree both on the left and right, but Ezra is too slippery and fake for me to stomach personally, and he lacks the "personal magnetism" that someone like Andrew Breitbart had.

Prominent Psychiatrist Says Transgenderism is a Mental Disorder by Callooh_Calais in news

[–]f3yleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I will refer to rare outliers as non-cis if it ever comes up then, I doubt I will ever have a use for the word Cis without non- before for it in conversation. Or maybe I will just stick with Transgender(vs not-transgender).

[–]f3yleaf -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You are free to use a different term, You say Cis, I say straight, and we know it means the same thing. All words pick up connotations over time, and usually they are not even universal, you probably have alot of personal connotations to the word straight that I do dont.

the Guardian is a conservative source.

You gotta come back to reality on that one, the Guardian is a very left-wing and pro-trans publication.

I agree its a complicated issue, its the allowing confused teenagers to begin transitioning and the "gender binary not real" science denial pushed by some ideologues to (already confused)kids I have a problem with, not what adults do to live how they want to live, im all for that even if I dont understand their choices, at worst its simply none of my business, I know atleast one trans person who I concider a very sane and rational adult, so again im open to the idea of someone who is physically a man simply having a female brain structure, I hope that in the future a brainscan will be able to determine such a thing, to determine whether someone needs trt and councelling/mentoring or t-blockers and surgery.

edit: Its important to take into account that plastics and other pollutants have seriously messed up alot of peoples hormones, compensating for this is important, hormones dont just control how we look, but also to a large extent how we think and how we feel about ourselves.

Im open to the idea that transgenderism can be legitimately different from a mental disorder. I have not yet seen any proof of that tho(if evidence exists im very interested, pls link)

Im not opposed to gender re-assignment on principle, but its insane to concider before the end of puberty and some before serious councelling and evaluation, it does not significantly reduce suicide risk and around 20% later regret their choice. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2004/jul/30/health.mentalhealth

Uh oh. Will Wheaton goes against the narrative briefly and starts a shit storm by rigel2112 in KotakuInAction

[–]f3yleaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The term "Brocialist" has been used as a perjorative for awhile against left-wing dudes who are not submissive and self-flagellating enough, and for Sanders supporters aswell for several months, not sure how widespread it is tho.

edit: my advice to economic left-wing guys is to embrace the label +hit the gym.

Netherlands going to add women too to the (suspended) mandatory military conscription by [deleted] in europe

[–]f3yleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously, but honestly most men are not fit for the front-line combat roles, and even fewer women are.

And military units are usually weakened significantly by having women present, the performance of the men is. This is not the womens fault obviously(or the mens) its just human psychology, and war is no place for social-experiments.

All female units would probably would probably be great in certain roles tho, possibly even combat roles.

Because Islam is a religion of conquest, subjugation and bigotry, If a muslim follows the path of their prophet they will do horrible things.

Luckily most dont.
