The insane social justice thread

HuffPo figured it out. The "patriarchy" did it.

Headline is weird. They decided not to have her taunt other characters by slapping her butt and that's censorship? That's probably a business decision based on more and more female gamers, along with a realization some of the games are devolving into porn you can play and reversing the trend a bit.

To the uninitiated it seems like a business decision just to make the characters popular with the most people possible. And to some extent that's probably true. But also behind it is the fallout from "gamergate". There is a strong sentiment in the gaming community that companies fear femivists' retribution more than they care to produce cutting edge games. So it's not just about taking out a slap on the ass, it's the perception that activists are pursuing political correctness in games.

And maybe some of that is an overreaction. Of course the gaming community, being mostly younger people, didn't react very well to gamer gate. Both sides participated in mob-shaming. But I think it's understandable given the ridiculous nonsense the feminists were pushing and the lengths to which they were willing to go. This seems like such a little thing, but it's just one skirmish in a vicious internet cultural war.

The people that they perceive to be complaining aren't gamers.

I certainly can see why some women wouldn't want to play a game where their character slaps their ass to taunt their opponents. I also can't really see the kinds of women who would be offended by that actually wanting to play THAT game anyway. If they are doing it to be more inclusive, I don't think it's a very large playing audience at all.

They should make it extra inclusive and remove fighting.

Once they say "offended", that sets off my BS-meter. Self-censoring (allegedly without external demand) is wrong, and is a direct result of an overly-PC, SJW culture.

Exact same situation with Koei Tecmo not bringing DOAX3 to America.

Okay, but how many sales are they really going to lose from this decision? I'm buying SF V, and I really don't care that an ass slap was considered and rejected. I just don't see anything resembling actual harm here.

Yes, it's a ridiculous title, but I gave them a click just to see for myself what it's about. Sounds like he's making more of a case for "assimilation".

Let me explain something to the Farook family. There is nothing "normal" or "All-American" about segregation of the sexes, let alone women clothed head to toe in a garment where one can only see the woman's eyes. We may tolerate such antiquated behavior here, but it is by no means "normal."
​

The gist of the article is basically this. Because of their strict backwards Wahhabist interpretation and the whole "women don't get to talk" thing, the family couldn't have gotten to know their new daughter-in-law enough figure out that she was a terrorist. Never mind that their son, who presumably is allowed to talk, didn't seem to clue them in either.

Perhaps the misleading title was just to get the attention of the average HuffPo reader.

I self censor all the time. I wear pants outside. I don't tell every jackwagon I meet that they are a jackwagon.

Slapping an ass is cutting edge gaming?

It's perception. I'm just explaining the sentiment.

Okay, THAT is a mental disorder. And I'm not advocating being rude to them. But let's not treat it as if it's a normal behavior.

This guy abandoned his wife and kids (presumably adult by now) to pretend he's a "little girl." I'd **** on his frilly socks.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

That really is an excellent point. I myself am perplexed when exactly these fools started having any leverage. I am a relatively recent grad from college and a post grad school, finally finished in 2013. I can tell you I never remember seeing a large, or vocal, community out there for these freakshows and SJW's. I'm sure they were around, but I don't remember a time when any ridiculous complaints or demands ever swayed anyone's behaviors or policies like they do today. I have a hard time believing there is actually a majority of college aged students that believe this tripe. I'm guessing the SJWs are just so damn annoying that anyone that has spoken up for normalcy has been shouted down by an overly vocal minority, and decided to just ignore their causes as best as possible.

IMO I feel that eventually their cretinism will get to the point that even the libtard college professors and administrators will be fed up to the point that they will stop giving in to the demands and start fighting back...I will have a good laugh when that day comes.

Frankly this reminds me of how colleges became battlegrounds due to the "Anti-War" movement in the late 60s and early 70s. Wouldn't surprise me if the same organizations which started THAT movement is behind the current disruptions. Of course, it COULD be just an ironic harvest of what colleges have been sowing for the last decade or two.

And yet, word is leaking out that the mother was involved in terror-friendly organizations and daddy is under suspicion as well. Someone raised the question yesterday: There were multiple witness reports of "three masked and armored men" who entered and opened fire. Even if multiple witnesses mistook wifey for a "masked armored m(a)n", what happened to that third man? From the neighbors' remarks, there were a number of people going in and out of that house late at night and police report the residence was "a bomb factory." What happened to rest of those people? The French continued to look into the third attacker at that concert in Paris until they found him; why haven't we heard about a continuing search for more suspects?

The world needs less tolerance.

The world needs less tolerance.

I am hoping the child is PhotoShop'd in. If so I really hope they are into surfing off SF.

Dinesh D'Souza goes to the heart of the hypocrisy of SJWs. It is interesting to watch the entire video to see how thoroughly indoctrinated the student is in viewing the world in via a racial grievance lens. If you want the short version, you can start watching from the 10:00min mark.

If he'd have been expelled if he'd have said they ARE hot. That's the same as rape now, isn't it?
