it was satire. exaggeration and hyperbole of the opposing viewpoint to expose its fallacies and absurdities.

please, don't flatter your self

ladios stands on the side where both sides are taken (or at least attempted to be taken) into account objectively and free of bias. which isn't a side at all, really.

I'm saying it's easier to tell with other forumers.

Probably because you just try to weasel your way into discussions for the sake of arguing and don't pay attention to the thread itself. His first post in the thread makes his opinion abundantly clear. Here, let me show you it.

She reviewed a game, the same as many a person had done before, except she started being threatened with death. Thats kind of a big loving deal, so yeah it makes sense she would be pissed off.

Like say you saw a blockland build that was making fun of black people and told the people on the server "this build is tribal". The people on the server then claim you are trying to destroy the server and hunt you down physically so they can make threats to you at your actual residence and they state they will kill you and such because you said that there was something that could be construed as inappropriate. Not only is that a big overreaction from the people on the server, but you would feel frightened for your life, and obviously would want people to know, hey there are people threatening to kill me so in case, you know, I die because I said something they didn't like, you know its going to happen.
Its not her making a big deal, its protecting herself.

I really have never understood how people have this opinion of her. She never comes off as condescending or angry or abusive in her videos. While she does pick at specific cases, she is brings up the fact that these are the specific cases she has identified in the games she has played.
Meanwhile you have people like Yahtzee and Jimquisitor screaming and cursing and saying the nastiest of filth while complaining almost always about the same problems in games. And yet these people recieve no threats of rape or death, people infact laud their abusive style as entertainment.

The fear people have with that what they might hold to be true might not be, and how much people cling to and respond to that fear is at the heart of the issue right now. There is no reason for this attitude towards people who are honostly trying to provide you with a better and more diverse play experience.

You should be smart enough to figure out his position on the matter by reading this. If you can't, well then what are you doing arguing with someone whose viewpoint you don't even understand? How can there be any form of constructive dialogue if you don't even know what he's arguing for?

I'm saying it's easier to tell with other forumers.

Every time a man kicks a kitten, there has been a kitten kicked.

If you honestly couldn't tell that this was exaggeration and hyperbole, then the problem is with you.

Thank you for bringing his original post to my attention.

As far as where it became difficult to see where he was coming from, the post I made that you quoted was in reference to when he initially diverted from serious discussion to a satirical stance from the other side.

Aside from that, you seem to take pleasure in attacking me. Even if I am leaving openings for that, it's still uncalled for. I don't appreciate it.

Serious discussion about feminism is an oxymoron.

You're an agitator who brings nothing intelligent to the discussion.

To be fair, he never said he wasn't an agitator.

I don't see that as an attack, more like an accurate description of your actions so far. Your statement "serious discussion about feminism is an oxymoron" has no intellectual value and is an empty phrase used to devalue some movement you have misguided beliefs about.

[Kishgal]

...You're right! What a strange world we live in.
