Very nice video. "Never generalize" should really be the message.

I have a confession to make. I never played System Shock 2 during its original release. (I know, I know, a gamer faux pas!) But I did buy it on GOG a few months back and I installed it hoping to redeem myself. Let me just put it this way: I've become way too used to modern games. Because holy fucki...

Exactly. It also reveals something else (won't spoil anymore than that), but to Anita that's all it is. She includes Bioshock in a list of 25 games that have scenes with the singular purpose to arouse male gamers and compel them to "treat female bodies to be acted upon" and that one scene from Bios...

But that's a point. I wonder what Ken Levine thinks about Bioshock being put under the "misogynist" category simply because of one scene in it, the reason for which gets fleshed out later. (I don't want to go into anymore detail because people here still hasn't played it and it truly is one of the ...

Pastebin of the deleted post PZ was talking about. It's a good read, and PZ appears to have missed the fact it is highly relevant. http://pastebin.com/XJSDTH5D So PZ misrepresented the them, avoided responding to any of the arguments in the posts, and instead opted for plucking phrases such as "Cat...

I'll answer this. He's trolling and he's very good at it. I lolzed so many times reading his comments and the responses, specially the guy who just posts "Liar".

@Dick Strawkins:

Awesome video. Well, except for Shermer's groping passion for science.

Progedtion is an idiot. Testimony is evidence and multiple testimonies are good enough to convinct anyone of sexual assault. The problem is that "Shermer almost groped me" or "Shermer poured a lot of wine for me" are not testimonies.

Yeah, I get that about Pamela Gay. And I agree "almost groping" can mean wildly different things. But has there been any other accusation?

Personally, I think any hint that anyone in that crowd has a sense of humour should be encouraged if only that it may help some of them to grow up.

I think it's brilliant PZ makes a post about someone he has in his spam filter and tells him not to contact him again. Genius. With that said, the comment section seems remarkably macabre. Joke after joke about wanting Kevin W dead. Trigger warning? :hand: I looked at the comment section and it's s...

For your reading pleasure. Outrage World How feminist blogs like Jezebel gin up page views by exploiting women's worst tendencies.

Yeah, already done it. It was very bad judgement.

So, I've been in semi-regular communication with Ophelia Benson since I arrived here. What's the general sentiment about her? Does anyone think it would be possible to come to terms? Are we too far gone for that? My sentiment is that she's getting too old and senile. Nobody can go on forever and th...

Silly Tony. I thought we had already covered the fact that black people can't be racist. The open question is what happens if a Mexican/American raps? :think:

@Tribble:

Oh my, those are some big red letters, they almost made me miss those bold black ones. Anyways, I assure you I didn't miss your "maybe". In fact, that's why I called it speculation. Your reaction is still funny though since I also used a similar language of doubt and uncertainty.

Hmmm.... Maybe something else is going on. Like a party/social occassion with some people who are touchy-feely extroverts and don't have a problem with that kind of stuff. And certain other people are NOT. And the NOT group, as they tend to do, lack both the awareness and social skills to understan...

My interpretation of what SHE is doing in both of those pictures is that she is posing for a photograph. If you look at her eyes it appears that she is looking towards something in particular on both occasions (everyone in the first picture is obviously doing the same thing - posing for a photo.) I...

I think that's reading too much into it. From no place private, just the wild web: I didn't find many photos of Shermer hugging people, but there are a bunch of him alone, posing or pondering or whatever. Here's Shermer hugging a woman after a lecture he gave in 3/2012, from here ; she refers to he...

If you are saying that Shermer is acting overly familiar with her, especially as it's their first meeting, then I would have to agree. I'm not a touchy-feely-huggy type of person myself and would never think of putting my arm around someone who I didn't know. I can understand why someone might cons...
