Phil_Giordana_FCD wrote: Yes, "non-assistance à personne en danger", which is one hell of a "damn if you do, damn if you don't" catch-all.
I remember learning about that (heavily, for some reason) when I was in Germany. If there is an accident and you do nothing, you can (and probably will) be prosecuted. It goes heavily against the ol' "if you assist and in *any* way the person being assisted suffers *any* sort of injury (whether physical, mental, or otherwise), you will be prosecuted" of the U.S.

I've been out of the loop once again. So, who are the FfTB/A+/SJW/asshat group vilifying and burning at the stake now?

Ape+Lust, that's fantastic work. I'm in video production and do a lot of image manipulation. I'm wondering how you got the light glare to match the original image so well (as it might help with a problem I've been trying to solve).
Hey, thanks. The lighting is simple -- just a couple of layers with a sampled color airbrushed onto them. No blending, no opacity adjustments, just the golden color.

The image of PZ is set over a base layer of a sampled dark gray, and PZ's opacity is set to about 60%. Then the gray is duplicated atop the PZ image and set to Grain Extract blend mode, which pulls the dark gray out of the image in a coarse way, lightening it. This sandwich gave it a more realistic washed out effect than just desaturating/lightening would do.

Then finally, the lighting layers.

It's looks a little wonky from the 8-bit colors, but here are the steps:

Thanks muchly, and while the 8 bit color might making things wonky in an aesthetic sense, it's probably even better for instruction. Now it's easy to see more precisely where the airbrush was applied. I'll have to try this out on Monday.

Well, you'll notice that we rarely face incursions from SJWs here in the 'pit. But we do nothing to physically restrict their registration or anonymous posting. We even encourage it. 8-)

If they're unable to resist 'pit taint, it only proves they don't have enough faith in Emprah Peezus yet.

For now, the forces of Social Justice seem to content to limit their incursions to sermons from the FTB pulpit and a few forays into the Eye of Twitter.

Indeed, Giliell, you are sheeple.
Giliell, professional cynic -Ilk- says

[Michael Nugent wrote:]Each time that we have discussed these concerns, you have responded that you will tone it down, which to some extent you have. You no longer encourage your commenters to tell people to shove a rotting porcupine up their ass, and they no longer tell people to die in a fire or fuck themselves with a rusty chainsaw.
Which is, btw, complete bullshit.
To the best of my memory, PZ had nothing to do with the Horde’s [read: the Flock's - J.S.] discussion and subsequent abandonment of certain phrases. But it feeds nicely into the idea that we’re not actually people who have brains to think for themselves, but just mindless cult followers who heed every word PZ says and never ever disagree with him, his loyal minions who will lash out without ever even stopping to ask what has happened.
Sheeple, in short.
http://web.archive.org/web/201409201430 ... edictable/

Complete bullshit, you say? Didn't Peezus once encourage the use of the porcupine meme in the fucking commenting rules? Look, I found it:
This is a rude blog. We like to argue — heck, we like a loud angry brawl. Don’t waste time whining at anyone that they’re not nice, because this gang will take pride in that and rhetorically hand you a rotting porcupine and tell you to stuff it up your nether orifice. If you intrude here and violate any of the previous three mores, people won’t like you, and they won’t hold back—they’ll tell you so, probably in colorful terms.
http://web.archive.org/web/201112042222 ... -practices

And it was Peezus who later decided it was time to tone down the violent rhetoric. After this, the porcupine was quietly deep sixed:
New commenting rules

What are they?

The ongoing meltdown in Thunderdome and the departure of Chris tell me we’ve got something that needs to be fixed. I don’t quite know how to fix everything, so let’s crowdsource it — you people leave comments here telling me what rules you think might work to get the knifey-bitey-smashy atmosphere to lighten up a little. Just a little.

From the CHS video (@3:38):
These critics have made some useful points about sexist tropes and narratives.
[youtube]9MxqSwzFy5w[/youtube]

So far from stating there is no sexism in video games, she is conceding there is some.

Yes, we already knew Anita's a dishonest, scarecrow constructing, goalpost shifting propagandist. But another piece of evidence doesn't hurt.

And the video she linked to? While quite clever in its execution, the content is ludicrous. He's nitpicking, and even fails miserably at that. A sample:
Christina Hoff Sommers wrote:Has the gentle sex taken over video games and are video games rife with sexism?
songadaymann wrote:Well, those are two different ideas and the title of your video is 'Are video games sexist?'
Sure. It's impermissible to cover two related topics in one video when the four word title only mentions one of the topics. He continues by saying (well, singing) 'and I don't think you answer this'. The second part of her video focuses on the question of video game sexism. He may not like her answer, but she definitely addresses it.

He responds to Sommers' concession that Sarkeesian et al have made some useful points by asking "which points?" He considers this such a clever response he repeats it. But just prior to her concession she said:
Christina Hoff Sommers wrote:Why isn’t gaming more inclusive? Why must there always be male heroes? Why are the few females always portrayed as either Damsels in distress or sex objects?
Points along those lines, asshole. Do you have the attention span of a ritalin popping ADHD two year old? His rebuttal is almost comically weak when the plain words are laid out. Does he think singing them with a sad look of concern on his face strengthens them?

Maybe SpecialEd rattled them so much that there isn't a back channel anymore. Maybe they're dying for a group conference. Maybe soon they'll be communicating with strings and cans. Maybe there's a Bigfoot?

You should definitely point out Zvan's conspiracy theory paranoia over at JREF just to show them what you're dealing with.
This is particularly amusing because it comes in response to the fact that Nugent sent them a draft of his post ahead of time to both PZ and he copied Dawkins and Ophelia Benson as well. For some reason it is particularly irritating to Benson that she was copied as well as Dawkins. Imagine that, Nugent sent them the information ahead of time, and it still pisses them off. You can't win. PZ is unusually chatty on another blog so he must be really butthurt about this one.

In other news:

Mother of two, 34, is arrested for 'sexually assaulting' three 15-year-old male students at the high school where she taught.

Seems to me that there is an epidemic of this kind of thing going on. I dunno about you lot but practically every day there is a news report about a woman sexual predator and authority figure teacher charged with the rape of some sweet innocent underage teenage boy!

(And why the fuck did this never happen to me when I was a little lad? This is so fucking unfair!!! ... all boys school with five female teachers in total and most of them over 60 years old SMH).

Also did a search and apparently the number of lucky victims has been upgraded to five according to this report: Cops: NJ teacher now faces 5 counts of having sex with students.

ANYWAY WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FROM THE USUAL SUSPECTS???

Gamergate actually revolves around Zoe Quinn, although it's expanded somewhat. Believe it or not, Quinn is much more odious than Sarkeesian.

I'll steer clear then (as much as I can considering people I follow tend to bring this stuff up). I'd rather be happy with seeing both men *and* women scantily clad in games and beating the ever-loving shit out of each other :D

I haven't been here long either and I still can't figure out if I find it complementary to be the bad guy in their world or if I should be upset that everyone seems to buy their bullshit. It's a strange balance to find. Sometimes it is hard to just shake my head and laugh when they are at their worst though.

Well Valenti's new brainfart is nice. I wish i could get a gig writing "women are greedy bitches" only to have the moderators clean the comments of women who are upset about being called bitches.

"You see ladies if you were less defensive less people would think you are bitches."

Seems legit.

You even got a free robe, for a game that you will probably never play!

I should say, a free *wizard's* robe, just to make sure that everyone is suitably impressed.

The thing is, this kind of satire would be very effective coming from the anti-Shermer brigades. It would have particular sting because it has an element of truth. But they're wrapped up in the 'Shermer is a rapist' narrative, where no humor is allowed. And because the evidence for Shermer being a rapist is so scant, the claim is easily discounted and Shermer will get through it basically unscathed in most people's eyes.

Dimentia. The appropriate spelling for whatever it is Ophie is suffering from.

Obviously this led to actual gamers being a little upset and pointing out that some of them didn't even have a basement, in some cases happen to be female and yes, some of them are actually black. I believe a few may even be black women. :o

I think the reasonable thing to do is simply to go to the source and then judge for yourself.

Oh, sorry for misinterpreting. I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but It's probably a good idea to use quotes when there are several active topics being juggled.

I was trying to think of the right way to phrase it. It's definitely bigger than Zoe Quinn. But she was the Big Bang event that got things going.

Tee hee, I made a double entendre. :)

And I completely understand all of that. But the thing is, Sarkeesian has brought this crap out to public light (at least online). And she's the one sheep-minded idiots turn to. I get Mykeru, believe me. Been around him and chatted a bit with him over the past year-ish. My whole entire point is that it's a load of fucking rubbish. In the *ENTIRE* realm of video games, MEN AND WOMEN are sexualized. Narrow minded women like Sarkeesian think it *only* happens to women. But then she's not looking into games that put men in skimpy and sexual outfits, is she?

I like in the comments of Valenti's articles "study" after "study" are talked about, but nary a one manages to get cited. I think this all goes back to the not a 101 level discussion bs. These people just "know" thesr studies exist becausr someone else in a "non 101 level" discussion brought it up. It's like feminism is creationism.

Excellent post overall, but this bit... A couple of drinks loosens me up a bit, but if I get properly drunk I get really quiet, self-conscious and easily embarrassed. Alcohol's supposed to suppress your inhibitions. I figure I'm so inhibited naturally I've had to learn to suppress my inhibitions just to function. These days I'm quite sociable sober, but alcohol suppresses my ability to suppress my inhibitions. Or something. Anybody else like that, or am I totally bizarre?
You're totally bizarre. But then again, we all necessarily are in some fashion or another. The closest thing I can think of to what you're saying is what happens if I smoke weed but nobody else does (which rarely happens, but not never). I realize my mind has been compromised and I must seem very foolish to the people around me, so I'm very careful with my actions and words. I tend to double and triple check everything before allowing it out of the gate, so to speak.
paddybrown, your experience isn't bizarre. Alcohol typically depresses inhibitions early on, then depresses brain functions more broadly as the blood alcohol level (or, more to the point, the brain alcohol level) rises, leading to coma & cessation of respiration if the level rises far enough, fast enough. Alcohol has a widespread & relatively global effect on the brain but there is variability between people depending on all sorts of factors, both situational and those intrinsic to the person's genetic & neurochemical makeup. For you, the relative depression of different (handwaving here) area(s) of the brain that make your experience a bit different from many people - but that in itself is not that unusual.

In the *ENTIRE* realm of video games, MEN AND WOMEN are sexualized. Narrow minded women like Sarkeesian think it *only* happens to women. But then she's not looking into games that put men in skimpy and sexual outfits, is she?
Sarkeesian is trying to do more than just pointing out sexual imagery in video games. If she simply complained about how sexualized female video game characters are, people wouldn't have cared about her opinion and would have called a bigot straight away. What really gets people's attention, and what really pisses off gamers, is that she's arguing that games are actively dangerous to women, that they're designed to arouse people through a "perverse mix of sex and violence".

She doesn't seem to notice (or more probably she pretends not to notice) that if games were really dangerous they'd be far more dangerous to men than women, given the impressive amount of ways you can get away with if you want to show how to kill a male character.

The claim that video games turn you into a potential murderer is ignored and laughed off by most of people in the medias. But when Sarkeesian claim that video game turn you into a potential rapist, influential people (including the likes of Joss Whedon) lap it up and parrot her views everywhere.
