You're a progressive that wants to kill people. That's like a caricature. 

Only because they're committing racially-motivated murders and rapes like it's a religious experience to them. The alt right are pure scum.

Because everyone on the alt right does all those things right?

This thread went about as well as expected.

And yet it was probably more civil than the video that sparked me to ask this question.

...which I did not watch, since I don't need more of it on my feed either.

SJWs are awful, and their right-wing counterparts are awful. Why Is this trainwreck of a useless thread which contributed nothing to nobody still open is my question. Shove into politics discussion next time, there is a very clear reason why a large part of this website is filtering that section out.

tbh I think the GameSpot people just didn't word their point properly, which caused people to misinterpret.

Because they mention that, the video accuses Gamespot of being SJW's, "beta male" was mentioned in the video.  

I think we can safely disregard anyone who uses the term "beta male". Code words like that make it so much easier for us rational humans to detect bullshitters.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Honestly speaking the far left and far right lately have ruined a lot of things. It is hard being moderate in the current climate.

Ignoring one person or one video is not the same as ignoring an entire side of an argument.

Yes it is, because you're ignoring it not based on the persons track record, but based on whether they used certain phrases or words that triggered you, and which represent the world view of a large group of people that you're hiding from.

I'm sure there are people on the same side of the argument that refrain from using the words SJW and beta-male unironically. Besides - not watching a video because it contains some phrase is not the same as being triggered by the phrase. I'm not triggered when people use words like SJW and beta-male. I just take those people less seriously. It depends on how much you value your time. You have to draw the line somewhere as for what content you'd spend your time watching. I'm not advocating that you avoid content that differs from your viewpoint, but you can still have some standards as to what level of quality you expect.
