You know there are black people that say the same in regards to white people, or asians, or middle easterners...
It's common for all ethnicities and races on the planet, but if you spend a lot of time around people that are not like you, that can change over time.
It's a similar thing for when someone says "all X people look the same to me" - it is because they haven't spent much time living around or interacting with people of that ethnicity/race.
And not everyone gets the chance to live in a cosmopolitanistic society, though many more live in a multicultural one with enclaves of different groups of people living together and almost never interacting with people of other backgrounds.
Actual "Classical Liberals" are being pushed out of the way by SJW's and radical third wave "Feminists" - with hints of Maoism, a lot of white guilt (like any "race" is truly innocent in this day and age... everyone's been enslaved and tortured by everyone else, amongst other things), and even apologia for atrocities committed by adherents of Islam.
No, Muslims are not bad - make no mistake though, the people who practice Islam and commit terrorist acts and atrocities in the name of it ARE Muslim, a specific kind of Muslim, and they do need to be addressed, along with any culture that promotes ideals that these extremists espouse (which is where Muslim reformers come into play, and they do exist - but they have bullseyes on their backs from adherents of a strict view of Islam).
But when you hear these SJW's.. no, Regressive Leftists, making excuses for the people that shot up Charlie Hebdo, it is fucking infuriating. But because of their (the regressive leftist's) ideology, they either truly believe, or claim to believe (for various reasons) that the Islamists who killed a bunch of cartoonists were simply.. unfortunate "victims" of oppression and this was them lashing out.
This is unacceptable in the extreme, and the true course of action that should have been taken was for the attackers to make their own cartoon mocking the French, the west, or whatever.
The right, especially the religious right, has been fractured in the US - and the far left has taken advantage of this and started to show their true colors, much to the surprise and confusion of many other leftists, classical liberal especially (such as Seth MacFarlane, dismayed that he was chastised for his portrayal of the left, but praised for his portrayal of the right, by leftists).
The "alt-right" has arisen in response to the far left, ranging from moderate rightwing and nationalists to full blown neo-nazis and white supremacists.
Collectivism is on the rise again in the world, in a way not seen since the 1930's, on both sides.
H1B's get a bad rap but it's not their fault. It's the people that want more of them, more indentured servants, their fault. The CEO's and bean counters.
Also last I heard, there were people living here BEFORE the "native americans", but that doesn't get talked about as much.
That "50% of gamers are women" statistic includes mobile and facebook games.
Highly inaccurate - but there are still quote a lot of female gamers playing the same games a lot of guys play - not as much, but still.
Most people they hire aren't going to command "six figure salaries", ha!
Own up to it man, you're a social justice warrior, a slacktivist who can't bear to ever actually try to combat ACTUAL MISOGYNY like in certain cultures where women are at best, second class citizens - and can't drive, can't go out in public without a male escorting them, get punished for "letting themselves get raped"...
Because the actual people fighting against that, reformist Muslims, ex-Muslims, actual human rights advocates, get legitimate death threats sent to them - some of them even get killed. THERE ARE ACTUAL BASTIONS OF MISOGYNY, PATRIARCHY, RAPE CULTURE, AND SJW"S NEVER HELP TO COMBAT THAT - they'd rather focus on "MANSPREADING" LMFAO, or "MICROAGGRESSIONS" HAHAHAHA
"Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions. "
If you've ever been to the KotakuInAction subreddit, you can see easily enough that freedom of expression and speech, creative freedom in general, is held up as paramount for video games (though for all media, really).
If someone wants to make an Intersectional Feminist video game, that's fine. Most people only care if the game is good or not, but the moment you try to ban things, or cultivate a hostile environment in the media that scares away Japanese developers... You're in the wrong.
I've only heard bad things about "Gone Home", but I've never played it. But all I see is walking in the videos so I'm not interested.
A game I'd recommend instead, if you are into "metroidvania" style games, is Aerannis. Main character is a male-to-female transgender woman whom was made so at birth because it is a Feminist dystopia where men have either been wiped out, or forcibly made into women via gender reassignment surgery+hormone therapy and some sci-fi shit I'm sure given it's in the future.
The main character isn't a perfect goody-goody two shoes or awesome at everything either, they're quite crass and crude (don't wanna reveal their little backstory though).
Funnily enough, a few "Feminists" (in quotations because they were more of the fainting couch variety rather than equity Feminism) lambasted the creator of the game because you can kill women in it - but there are no men left in this world, you're either killing women, trans women, or robots. So of course most of your enemies would be female.
Let me know when they stop imprisoning people for possession of loli/shotacon (underage anime/hentai porn basically), where no children were actually harmed, and yet in some states it's somehow equivalent to actual child pornography where there is actual harm (or worse).
Even if he is homophobic, as long as he doesn't let that influence any of his hiring processes (how would he know someone was gay anyway? maybe if they were ultra stereotypical gay men/women..) or (most likely he did this) delegated such duties to others without a similar fear...
Who cares? He donated HIS OWN money to something to prevent gay marriage, NOT MOZILLA'S money.
I mean shit, they basically forced him to resign because they didn't like his views on the matter (since NONE OF MOZILLA'S money was used).
I myself am firmly for marriage between any two consenting adults, and as far as anyone's concerned what two consenting adults do with each other is nobody's business anyway.
No... The "gamergate controversy" article on wikipedia is currently a clusterfuck with the likes of Mark Bernstein and other dedicated trolls (or maybe true believers? who knows...) keeping the article on lock down and making sure it can never be altered by anyone who intends to make a correction with sources. Or even minor corrections.
Wikipedia is a shitfest when it comes to anything remotely controversial. Metallurgy? Fine. Donald Trump? Nope. Hillary Clinton? Nope. Chemistry? Fine.
Friend, you're either a goon, generic troll, or you've supped from the poisoned chalice of (anti-)social justice. They don't care about actual hardships, they care about making themselves feel good for being a "good person".
It certainly sucks when comments sections are able to easily contradict the clickbait article and undermine the modicum of reputability the author had.
There have been efforts, notably the gamergate anti-harassment patrol, to try to police the hashtag and certain forums, to report people that actually publish details of a person's address/phone number.
Those running counter to this have never called out their own, except when they step out of line for a moment (such as Brianna Wu when she dared to have coffee with Brad Wardell to chat in a friendly manner over some of the issues involved in this big debacle).
Randi Lee Harper is one of the biggest serial harassers online, having even doxxed and had people send death threats to the CEO of a debt collection agency because they had the gall to try to collect the money she owed. https://archive.is/3oTek
She's made at least one fake review of a book published by a male feminist, claiming all sorts of hateful things of him - he offered to send her a free copy of the book to amend her review as appropriate, she refused outright. https://archive.is/aOXu9http://www.reaxxion.com/9311/r...
She's been doing this for over 10 years. She thrives on the attention, and people are too stupid to look her up and see that when she "fights" harassment, she's really just covering up her own bullshit.

Noone alive today was directly affected by Wounded Knee, or participated in it. Or even around when it happened.
This was the single worst terrorist attack on US soil since September 11th, 2001.

Is all I hear from you - since you seem to genuinely believe that gaming has always been a "boy's club" and it's only -NOW- that it is changing.
You're just as out of touch as those retarded identity politics swilling morons.

I loved the game, worth the $4.99 imo http://store.steampowered.com/...

Correct skin color? Wealth largely trumps any superficial BS people get hung up on.
If your family is extremely wealthy, and careful with their money, yer gonna have an easy life no matter your skin color or ethnicity.
Doesn't sound very different from reality.
The most dangerous people are the true believers, the fanatics, the zealots.
They believe everything they do is righteous, that they are the "chosen ones" to resolve any iniquities or injustices.
No tactic beyond them.
No target, in the end, is too sacred.
And they can never do any wrong, for they are in the right, and going up against the forces of "evil" and chaos.

Project Wonderful is the only ad network I've whitelisted across the board.
Mainly because on the sites I see it, they usually have ads for other things I'm interested in, like other webcomics.
What a cop-out. You won't even stand by what you said with conviction.
They don't reject it per se -
They simply won't stand for disingenuous criticism, which no medium should stand for.
