As a feminist, I can't figure out whether I should censor you or bully you first. The struggle is real. In any case, I'm not sure that our day of reckoning is all that close, but I do believe it is inevitable-- which is enough consolation.

  • Eh, it's Friday and OP is butthurt from yet another FAIL coffee date with some woman he met online on Wednesday or Thursday night. It's just rejection nerd rage. PvP dude bros are the typical targets for accusations of misogyny, but really it's the PvE nerds you have to watch. If these losers cannot handle real men in PvP, how do you expect them to handle real women? I wouldn't take anything posted about women on Bungle.net seriously.

    [quote]Eh, it's Friday and OP is butthurt from yet another FAIL coffee date with some woman he met online on Wednesday or Thursday night.[/quote] Nice try, but I actually don't schedule dates on a friday, unless I'm in a committed relationship, which I'm currently not. =) No doubt, you'll probably take this opportunity to make another ad-hominem attack against me about my current relationship status without making any rational arguments. I'm sure you'll impress plenty of feminists though, with how witty and brave you are by insulting some anonymous guy over the internet on their behalf. [quote]I wouldn't take anything posted about women on Bungle.net seriously.[/quote] This thread isn't about women, it's about feminism and gaming. Not sure you even read what I wrote...

    [quote]or bully you first[/quote] While he's an idiot with a fuc[i]k[/i]ing stupid opinion, that doesn't justify bullying. It violates the Code of Conduct and you would would be viable for banning. I'm pretty sure the OP doing the same, and is already on grounds for banning.

    My sarcasm game must be super off. Here's a brief moment of sincerity: the only threads I take seriously on this site are ones where we share opinions about a video game or console. The rest of them are to be ogled at like zoo animals or poked with a stick (like this one).

  • I got the sarcasm. Was real spot on of how they act lol Don't forget to thrown in a few "you are a misogynist" even when the points being argued don't even apply to the definition of misogyny lol

  • Shame, you might actually learn something if you took threads like this seriously. It certainly couldn't hurt - at least to balance out all the pandering you're getting from your fellow feminists.

  • We be clearer, because ninjas won't ask, they'll ban.

  • Actually, swearing and insulting me definitely violates the CoC. This thread doesn't, however. It's on topic, civilized rational discourse. I'm sorry if that bothers you.

  • I'm glad to see that even my intellectual enemies agree with me - feminism does indeed have a mighty grasp, ever growing in the subculture of gaming.

    Lol, I can assure you that it's not a good idea to use either of those words to describe me. I also wouldn't say feminism's grasp is quite on the level of someone like our friend He-Man. Ultimately, it has much less to do with feminism than good business. As gaming grows, it will become more and more necessary to find new audiences. Alienating potential buyers because they can't identify with aspects of your product is an excellent way to not make money.

  • Taxes and government regulations on freedom to buy and sell aren't good for business either, but they still exist, don't they? Your argument is invalid.

  • Dude, I'm totally taking this argument. This is amazing.

  • Perhaps you could explain how taking part of a small gaming business owners income to pay for layabouts and pad the pockets of regulators is indeed "helping" him?
