If people don't believe their lies, that just means the gamer community is even more toxic, patriarchal and rapeculture'd than they initially thought.

I doubt it's telling people what is true and what isn't though, which is the point (the Dr was a junkie who killed someone on the operating table, going to work on the girl, yadda yadda yadda, not important). The relevance to the SJW topic was the idea being promoted there was that feelings = knowledge.Garlix wrote:Badger3k wrote:Oh, shit - call Dr Hornbeck! We have some real biology here:

Re: Nerds. Nerds EVERYWHERE...
Guess you can tell when I get off work and catch up. Saw the tweets about the CP shit from Jaydefox - screw the leet shit for the moment - a bunch of gamers were involved reporting it, and maybe getting it investigated. But, yeah, it will be used to paint all gamers with the same brush. I also thought of asking if it was Oolon, but figured I'd probably have to explain a bit, and I don't tweet.

Related news, saw a Prius commercial about a kid washing his dads car in the rain to save water. Nevermind that in many places I've had my car dirtier after a rain than before, thanks to the way water droplets form around dust. Unless the kid dries the car off, odds are he's just wasting effort for nothing - a bit like the SJWs. Except their effort is just in the fingers and thumbs, and they may not accomplish much, but they sure leave a layer of shit on whatever they touch.
Last one, relevant to me since I watch the show religiously (even have all the ones I can get in torrents from Australia, Canada and the UK) - reGreta takes on the vicious misogynists at So You Think You Can Dance. Apparently to be equal, you need to have equal time for nudity, including nude arms and legs (yeah, she really went that far). Completely ignores the whole aesthetics of the art, or the story being told. She even counts clothes that are sheer as being nude (they use fabric that appears open, but actually covers everything). One example - didn't copy the picture, but it featured a past runner-up from the previous season, and the story was set in the past (forget the exact time, but it went back to the great tap performers of the past, as both performers main art is tap - 20s, 30s, 40s?):
Seriously? If this is your idea of equality being equal time and amount of skin showing, are burkhas next?
She even brings up (criticizes to me) the outfit that this contestant wore for her solo.
No mention that the competitors probably have a lot more freedom to choose their solos, from music and dress, and they do their own choreography naturally. She also ignores that if you actually watch the show, and remember things (or look them up - I did both, esp since Valerie was one of my favorites - soft spot for tap, but she is a great dancer), and if you watch the Vegas Week segments, where they pare down the dancers to the finalists, all the clips with her showed similar outfits. I somehow suspect that most dancers are not ashamed of their bodies either, and probably are not internalizing misogyny and patriarchy either. The whole post is just a major face palm. She claims to have done more, but I sure am not going to look - I'd hate to think what she said about a cast performance based on New York, New York (from "On the Town') - everybody was in period costumes, and yes, the women probably showed more leg and arm than the men, just as in real life.

In other news, PZ reports on an Idaho professor who shot himself in the foot in class - Ever wonder what would happen if the professoriate were armed?(link to reuters). The professor had a handgun of some kind in his pocket. Serious WTF moment. Haven't heard of holsters?
PZ does have a good point

He didn't accidentally fire the gun, however, it did go off accidentally. Minor point. I wonder what PZ would say about professors who promote hentai rape pictures and imagine their students as mermaids doing sexual favors for them?I kind of suspect that this incident will be discussed at his tenure review. I think accidentally firing a gun in class ought to be an automatic fail, rather like getting into an accident during your driving test.

I used to refer to it as appealing to the slowest common demoninator.

A couple years ago I got off the Virginia Square metro to go to my dentist in North Arlington. The medical building is in a little "office park" alcove with a courtyard. As you go in there was a big nondescript building to the East with blacked out windows. So I see this red plastic bag hanging in the bare limbs of a tree and, being a pretentious artsy type, decided to take a picture of it. The nondescript building only incidentally in the background.
Suddenly three security people are on me demanding to see ID. So I present them my VA driver's license and federal identification. They keep me there for almost a half hour running my information. So long, in fact that Dr. Partrick walks into the building, spots this and says "He's one of my patients". Thing is, none of these guys would tell me exactly why they were so fucking interested in my photo of a plastic bag in a tree.
Later on, it took me exactly ten minutes to figure out that the building in the background to the right was DARPA. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Back then Google maps even did the old "very important location" masking of the roof so, you know, terrorists wouldn't know where to rappel in from a helicopter. DARPA has since moved. No doubt due to the threat from dental patients and old ladies going in to present some roast beef to their gynecologist.
Of course, I would have had no idea it was DARPA if they hadn't made a big security theater issue of it. From that time on, every time I went by that way I would shout. "DARPA! HEY LOOK, IT'S DARPA!"
Nobody cares.

Perhaps the pit needs its own fainting couch with smelling salts on the side!
Vulgarity doesn't bother me. I find snooty, monocle wearing, tone policing arrogant asshats to be more offensive. Remember folks, one can behave "respectfully" and be highly immoral, whereas another can use naughty words and images and not have an unethical bone in their body. The SJWs police your tone, yet see no problem with maliciously doxxing people. I do not trust those who put image ahead of everything else.

I know some people are so damned serious, take themselves seriously, and think this is all so very serious. Mostly I attribute that lack of a sense of absurdity to a lack of dimension on their part.
So let me explain how this works: It's not that I particularly like poop images, although, really, what's not to like, but the very act of trying to limit people is what's going to get poop animations posted. Why? Because I can. And you can't do a thing about it.
The act of posting, in all unearned seriousness, that topics should be limited on this, the most open and free-wheeling section of the SlymePit is going to get people going out of their way to digress and tell you to go fuck yourself. Why? Because, despite your conceits, people can. And you can't do a thing about it.
Having a fainting couch moment over someone posting a picture designed to shock, offend and generally gross you out should make you ruminate not on the psychology of the person posting it, but what thread of discussion lead to the "Because I can" reaction. Is that victim blaming? You bet it is. You poor thing.
Now, when I come across something that I find particularly gross, offensive, incorrect, my reaction is to note it and move on. If someone wanted to post something legitimately racist, for example, great. Go right ahead. I don't need to be protected from it and I wouldn't presume that someone else would. The stated reason why someone turns to censorship, when you strip away the set dressing, is a belief that the censor isn't protecting himself, but, since everyone else is lower on the ethical ladder, he is trying to shield those impressionable idiots from exposure to it. You know, someone might act on it. The theory being that you don't post actual information on autoerotic asphyxia, which figures prominently in mysterious deaths after the family zips up the kid's pants and stashes the porn mags, because the mere mention of the subject is going to make little Johnny go out and try it. Or become a racist. Or poop.
That's to say, the urge to censor, and if not going that far, to control and tailor discussion, is derived from an unstated, but pretty fucking obvious, presumption of superiority. They know what's best for you, for the discussion, and if you let them take your hand and lead you, you will be a better person for it. It's kind of paternalistic horseshit, but where you get abducted off the street by some asshole in a van who declares himself to be your daddy.
If you don't like some topics raised in this thread, find some images bothersome, or just don't get the joke, then note it to yourself. Then shut the fuck up. Please try to restrain your urge to declare yourself the arbiter of what's right, good and relevant. You don't set the standard. What you want isn't a moral imperative. Get the fuck over yourself.
That being said, you can go right back to claiming I'm a scat-enamored attention whore.

"Nudity parity watch"?? Sounds like something from one of those "Christian movie reviews" sites.Badger3k wrote: Last one, relevant to me since I watch the show religiously (even have all the ones I can get in torrents from Australia, Canada and the UK) - reGreta takes on the vicious misogynists at So You Think You Can Dance. Apparently to be equal, you need to have equal time for nudity, including nude arms and legs (yeah, she really went that far). Completely ignores the whole aesthetics of the art, or the story being told. She even counts clothes that are sheer as being nude (they use fabric that appears open, but actually covers everything).
And isn't this "African Jazz" routine like five different kinds of problematic for a SJW? Oh but there's "rough nudity parity", so I guess it's all right.

Or this one? Blatant cultural appropriation, tsk, tsk!

So you're saying that it passes the Bechdel test? :think: Or would it have been better if it was about shoes?Jessica & Valerie, Bollywood
Both women have bare midriffs, bare shins/calves, bare shoulders, somewhat bare sternums
Note: Of course, the theme/story of the Bollywood number with two women is about how much the girls like their clothes and jewels.

I'm not a fan either, but as a moderator of the Pit and what it's supposed to be about, my most important job is usually to do nothing. I get more pissed off when a small group of people selfishly hijack the thread with stupid pointless multi-day spittle-flecked arguments over nothing than I do the occasional image in very poor taste.Søren Lilholt wrote: Yeah but scat porn is just...I dunno.

I think it would be fantastic if Stephalump joined in. Watching everyone tear her bullshit apart right to her face would be the most fun this place has seen in a long time.Besides, if we're not careful Stephanie Zvan will start posting here.

Normally you negotiate pay for your articles, or try to get hired by a company. You don't just twat around on twitter waiting for hand outs based on how marvelous you think you are.didymos wrote: Your actual face is your avatar. Your account name is your real name.

...now that i think about it, the slymepit owes me for whatever odd opinions I retch out on an irregular basis. I am just that magical. It's not like you can just hop on the internet and expect people to be writing their opinions all over the place for free.
