"...your immutable characteristics and everything to do with your actions. " that's blatantly false. I've seen gay people and women being verbally attacked for being gay and/or a woman. a lot.
Death in Mario is temporary, the imprisonment is forever. So, would you rather be trapped in a room for all eternity? or outside where death means you get to come back?
Did you really miss the posters point so badly? Do you really not realize the Peach is a helpless victim with no choice and Mario has a choice?
Believe the Church's teachings and observe all the Church's directions. Defend the Church. Respect and defend all weaknesses. Love your country. Show no mercy to the Infidel. Do not hesitate to make war with them. Perform all your feudal duties as long as they do not conflict with the laws of God. Never lie or go back on one's word. Be generous to everyone. Always and everywhere be right and good against evil and injustice.
"There is no "gaming community" in the sense feminists talk about;" Yes, there is. You'r statement is , frankly, stupid. Like saying there is no 'football community.'
". The shortcomings and predilections of teenage heterosexual males neither matter,"
A) even teenagers threating to beat and rape a women is BAD. B) Sadly, it turns out most of them are in their 20's and 30's.
Gaming culture has very much been part of/. since it's inception. " It lets them engage in their Two Minutes Hate." Yes, being angry because you are constantly verbally assaulted is so unreasonable.
So what if gaming culture isn't black friendly. Does every. single. fucking. thing. in existence have to be!? So what if gaming culture isn't gay friendly. Does every. single. fucking. thing. in existence have to be!?
Are you really that stupid? There is a difference between an entire culture and places within the culture. Run you're own private servers? So, make it a boys only, no one gives a damn.
"This idea that everything should be either female-only (because these special snowflakes need special non-man spaces for their unicornness) or unisex is absofuckinglutely misandrous and absurd."
And? regardless if this person did that or not, my point still stands.
Nothing proves my point more then the fact I got modded troll because I point out that women, as a group, get harassed regularly in the gaming community. I know a lot of female gamers (my daughter, my wife, all her friends, my table top friends who also play video games, etc...), and all of them had basically play a male character and use a male sounding handle just so they wouldn't get harassed.
I do not give a damn about Zoe, and the issue surrounding he is so complex and heat filled it's pointless to discuss.
There is a culture that makes it so women can't do things they want. IT's not as bad as the 60/70s but it's still there. THAT is what it is about. opportunity.
When a girl gets put into a easier math class because she is a girl, that's a problem. When a women can't get a promotion in the gaming industry because 'women don't game' that's a problem. When a women is trying to point this out and then has her personal life dragged into the public and is threatened with rape and death, that's a fucking problem.
And guess what? IN those situations society needs to make an effort to level the playing field.
I heard that same damn argument you made, and most of slashdotters seem to be making, in the 60s and 70s. It didn't hold water then, and it doesn't now.
A Scotsman fallacy is when you say a person born in Scotland doesn't count as a real Scotsman because he doesn't drink.
To point at an American in a kilt ans saying 'he isn't a real Scotsman' is an accurate statement.
There are people who are not feminist claiming to be feminist. Excluding them is not a Scotsman fallacy.
If I said I was a world class golfer, and was excluded for the list of world class golfers in Golf magazine, that wouldn't be a Scotsman fallacy, what would be accurate.
"and what I care about is that she slept with those people for publicity she did not deserve," except the person she allegedly slept with didn't actual review the game.
Yes, they are. There are companies pouring billions into different research so something will pan out and they can make money. As someone who has had an idea stolen, and implemented ti a big success, by a large financial istution I may be biased. OTOH, had I got paid I would have been able to fund my lab and quit working.
"But patent trolls being forced to design and build things? " which is wrong. The inventor of the LASER did not have the tools or money to build the first laser. It would have not been technically feasible to do it in a garage. So, he should have been completely screwed? What if you invent a new type of neutron back-plain for a nuclear reactor? should you not be able to get compensated because you can't build a nuclear reactor? afford the material?
Keep you're ire for business method patents, software patent, and people who patent things that already exist.
I ahve heard that having an idea, patenting, and then wanting people to pay you for your idea is wrong, and no data sows it actually hurts innovation.
Patent troll used to be someone who patented something already in use, but not patented and then demanding payment.
Now if I invent something, but can't afford to get a working copy going within some vague period of time, suddenly I'm a patent troll, and that is bullshit. The industry has taken patent troll, and twisted it in order to make things harder for small inventor. Again.
and it was left ut of the summary. "At 25 Mbps, there is simply no competitive choice for most Americans. Stop and let that sink inthree-quarters of American homes have no competitive choice for the essential infrastructure for 21st century economics and democracy. Included in that is almost 20 percent who have no service at all!
Things only get worse as you move to 50 Mbps where 82 percent of consumers lack a choice."
So he recognizes a problem, wants people to have access to faster broadband, want's congress to do something, but most of you people just spew hate

"...your immutable characteristics and everything to do with your actions. "
that's blatantly false.
I've seen gay people and women being verbally attacked for being gay and/or a woman.
a lot.
No, that is not needed. Grabbing people and beating the shit out of them doesn't solve problems, it causes stronger and stranger escalation.
They need to be shunned. Behave like that? Out of the tournament. Do it again? don't come back.
It's what I did when a ran a bar, and it worked great.
Crete a 'female user id'* on slashdot, copy that post into it. look at the different responses you will get.
*yes it's stereotyping, but that's kind of what we need for the test.
well said.
well, you can leave slashdot and go to reddit; which would have the added bonus of raising the average IQ in both places.
When that group is society, yes, it is misogyny.
So ti wasn't racism that caused people to be angry becasue black people want to be treated fairly in society?
Death in Mario is temporary, the imprisonment is forever.
So, would you rather be trapped in a room for all eternity? or outside where death means you get to come back?
Did you really miss the posters point so badly? Do you really not realize the Peach is a helpless victim with no choice and Mario has a choice?
The police can't do anything until something happens.
So you whole premise is false.
I assume this means you will calmly rethink your post and point of view on the subject.
" No women were harmed."
how do you know? how come no women could sign up to die for her country? Or are you just assuming they are men?
Chivalry is a crock. ISIS is chivalrous.
Believe the Church's teachings and observe all the Church's directions.
Defend the Church.
Respect and defend all weaknesses.
Love your country.
Show no mercy to the Infidel. Do not hesitate to make war with them.
Perform all your feudal duties as long as they do not conflict with the laws of God.
Never lie or go back on one's word.
Be generous to everyone.
Always and everywhere be right and good against evil and injustice.
I'll replace 'chivalry' with 'kind', any day.
"That isn't exactly a review but it sure is a ringing endoresment."
A ringing endorsement would have been a whole article and a 9.9 rating.
I know. Is he being threatened with death because he slept with her, giving up any journalistic integrity?
Classic double standard.
You got laid? That a boy!
You had sex? You Whore!

Yes it is, which is probably why it isn't true.

oh, well one post on the internet, that settles it.

setting your interesting take on thing aside, if true, none of it means anyone has a right to threaten to beat, rape and kill her.
There are many public server run by private individual.
of course there are adult themed minecraft server.
"and what I care about is that she slept with those people for publicity she did not deserve,"
except the person she allegedly slept with didn't actual review the game.
Game reviews are all crap anyways.
Yes, they are. There are companies pouring billions into different research so something will pan out and they can make money.

nope.
They aren't public servers. They don't have to be on the internet. They can do multiple authentications types.
Most compromises occur because server need to be forward facing and used on the internet by the average consumer.
