Not one video where she states that male gamers are misogynist...


well assuming that you made this comment as a reaction to mine

what i'll say is : why are you here attacking this thread?

is it not because you found this thread to be misogynistic?

well yes you've said many times that because she is a woman the criticism of her is disrespectful

ok fair enough

but that proves my point doesn't it? that all i have to do is question her actions and suddenly i am a misogynist...

I implore everyone to stop supporting feminists.

Why?

There are college courses that my tax money is funding - Professors, scholarships... "research"... etc.

There are SO many problems in this world right now. And there is SO much economic stress. And then, when you actually confront these so-called academics who are contributing NOTHING to the economy...

And I do mean nothing. Humans need food, water, electricity... engineers, laborers... suppliers of SOMETHING tangible. These people are sucking you dry and you don't even know it.

A feminist is someone with daddy issues.

What do I mean by that? They have never experienced a strong male figure in their life. They have issues. Like most of us sure, but the difference is that they are sucking the economy dry and not contributing anything.


that is not the point of this thread

if you want to denounce feminism please make a new thread on that topic

Can't speak negatively in a thread about Anita Sarkeesian!?

I don't even know what to say to that. It is literally the topic.


i'm not saying you shouldn't call her actions into question

but you went further you started your comment with an attack on feminism as a whole

"I implore everyone to stop supporting feminists."

and i suppose that's what leads to guys like champy harping on about women not being respected when really all i'm doing is pointing out that they are aspects to this case that seem a bit odd

You seem hell bent on using political words to define poeple - based on what you know of me and calling names - and what I know of you - you are a communist. 

You spew political propoganda to attempt to silence someone in a discussion that has nothing to do with politics - the halmark of a pinko communist.

I suppose you could be a facist - or both really.  I could be jumping the gun - but if we can throw lables around after one post I don't feel the need to be very accurate.


Nothing to respond to here. Just blah blah.

Although, some would say that calling another a fascist (not the proper spelling) is as bad as calling them by a discriminatory term. You have represented yourself poorly in all of our dealings. It is not my fault that I have a proper understanding of "political words". You, however, have no idea what communism means.

Communism is the death of the Western spirit. I hate it wholeheartedly. Any suggestion that I subscribe to such an ideal is fraught with lunacy. Nevertheless, I was ignorant once, and will forgive you.

May I ask your ethnical/political background? I won't namecall you on any of it. I'm earnestly just looking for perspective.

Should I make fun of you for the word ethnical?  I'm unsure if you are looking for my ethical background of my ethnicity.  If we are being picky about spelling anyway.  If you are really that interested - my question back to you is *why* is that really important for this particular topic - while I admit I think the videos she produces are interesting - I have yet to see where being critical of art in any form makes for political ramifications.

I am serious about the kickstarter also - at no point ever in this history of our great nation, would someone who is handed 10 dollars be labeled a thief.  It may be stupid - but it's not robbery.

Hopefully we can get back on discussion point now... I mean hardly anyone has discussed the original thread, if the post from the police is true, what does this mean? They have found no evidence...? or was the email from the police a fraud/lie....


well apparently the fbi are working with her not the police so that is why the policeman stated that he had not been in contact with her

i have badgenome to thank for that update

 

so at least that part is explained

 

however, its still very suspicious that even though she was logged out of twitter she was still able to bring the tweets up 13 seconds after the last one was posted imo

Last I heard this was a free country where people could give their money to anyone without being attacked for their reasons - go back to Russia where they tell you what you can spend your cash on.


Terrible.

Does that mean that a pyramid scheme is legal? Have you read the terms and conditions of kickstarter? I have. Can you tell me why she needs funds for making her videos?

You fail at making your point.

You may be too naive to realize this, but researcher, writer, narrator, and video editor are all real jobs that people actually get paid to do.

Well, they were, until your New World Order declared it illegal to earn money from making videos.

Well it seems that folks have found out that she never contacted police for these matters and thus likely wasn't run out of her house as was originally told by her. I don't know about fabrication but she certainly embellished the seriousness of the threats.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Anti feminist does not mean that I don't respect women!

That's exactly the idea that needs to be slain.

So Kickstarter is a pyramid scheme enabler?  Better call the feds!  Sorry I got lost there for a second in the unrelated and nonsensical comment.


Potato salad guy got tens of thousands of dollars to make a potato salad - it was funded and paid - you fail to make your point.


1. No. You simply didn't understand my point regarding legality.

2. Potato salad guy is indeed a thief. Anyone who can apply his mind to the matter will know for certain that only devious means could attract those funds.

And regarding your previous "apologies to real communist" comment: No one should ever apologize to any communist. That ideology has been, literally, the worst thing that human culture has experienced. But I don't expect you to know the facts.

Now scoot on off to your little utopia of liberalist values where everyone smiles and dances and has a great time. We don't have time for you in the real world. 


Again you need to learn what a thief is - *lesson* it's not someone who is given money from someone else of their own free will.

 

No go back off to your iron curtain where you can tell people what they can and can't do with their money - and call people who take money given to them (without productive value) thieves. 

What was it communists were against again?  Oh that's right - that someone could get money without being productive to society - no wonder you remind me of a communist.

Do you think I'm willingly giving my money to people on social wellfare?

Do you think I'm willingly giving my money to hospital illegal immigrants?

Do you think I'm willingly paying for refugees from Northern Africa? Their savage social order causes them all to want to take-take-take from the west while I have to pay-pay-pay for them.

You think I support Obamacare?

I have no choice. Don't think I have true capatilism in the US.

I vote FREEMARKET.

Unfortunately the fools couldn't find the wisdom to vote for Ron Paul.

But hey, keep calling me a communist. It's quite comedic.

I have to ask - in what context is me logging into kickstarter - clicking 'I support this' - entering an amount of money to give someone - and clicking go - then *waiting* for the month the kickstarter takes for the money to be taken - again in what context does any of that have to do with taxes or the government?

Isn't me ... myself.... no one else... spending money on something I choose... isn't that the definition of a free market?  Or am I mistaken in that I get to spend money on what I choose?
