"I'm salty"
JHM 2015

I'm sure that 18th C territory negotiation law or whatever isn't going to apply here.

There are more interesting, listenable videos than this on the subject, but maybe that was JHM's point?

Anyway, Sarky would be evil as fuck if she got her way on things, there's no doubt about that. I don't think the fact that gamers (all gamers must die, of course) threaten her changes the fact that she'd be a draconian overlady that Stalin and co. would be proud of.

If you're talking about Mundane Matt, I disagree.

You mean, if the SJWs were to stage an armed revolution, repeal the U.S. Constitution, and install Anita Sarkeesian as dictator for life? Because-- and I want to be COMPLETELY clear on this-- I'm against that.

>>I don't think the fact that gamers (all gamers must die, of course)

Oh, of course! (Jerk-off gesture)

>> threaten her changes the fact that she'd be a draconian overlady that Stalin and co. would be proud of.

I don't think the word "fact" means what you think it does.

If you were joking, please tell me and I'll apologize for mocking you. PLEASE, PLEASE tell me you were joking!

well, as usual in this subject area, fuck you JHM

she has enemies who are shitty and evil and insane
=/=
she's not shitty and evil and insane

>>well, as usual in this subject area, fuck you JHM

Well, fuck me, indeed!
I'M supposed to prove that she's NOT shitty, evil and insane, and I haven't.
ergo, SHE'S STALIN!

I don't really have a opinion about whether Anita Sarkeesian is shitty, evil and insane. But I do have an an opinion of this kind of logic you're using. Three words come to mind right away. Can you guess what they are?

John Holmes, motherfucker.

Really? In a context where the wasn't a big fat nonsequitor, this might be a good comeback. Congratulations, however, on the accurate word count.

There's no chance of Sarky being brought up on light treason, nor of her dreams becoming reality. She would be a monster if she had any real power.

All this is clear to you, right? Do you really want to come to her defense over whether she'd be a horrible tyrant? Saying you don't like my logic (meaning some rhetorical move I made) is stupid quibbling.

It's not a minor point of rhetoric, its the biggest honking logical fallacy EVER. "Disprove it or its true.". And its taken you light years out of your way. Here on planet earth, we were talking about YouTube videos.

This is what misogyny is all about, the fear of women's power, exaggerated into a twisted nightmare. If she's allowed to lost her pop culture videos without any harassment or character assassination, the first domino will fall.

There's almost no one who would make a good dictator. That's why there are so few good dictators.

Once again, I oppose the "ALL GAMERS MUST DIE" Initiative, although as Gamergate continues, my opposition has softened just a bit.

"all gamers must die" = me joking

Sarky the tyrant: there's no way she wouldn't lump threats with "fuck you, bitch" and try to outlaw them both.

I did not say "disprove it or it's true", in the above sentence or previously. I posit that these things are true and you don't like it. Also I said that just because her enemies are shits doesn't mean she's not a shit.

I urge everyone here to sign this so that we can save video games

Look, you jive turley, right now in the real world, people are using propaganda, character assassination and harassment in an attempt to impose mob rule and suppress unpopular opinions, and I'm supposed to care aboutsome hypothetical future dystopeia where no one can say" fuck you bitch"? Fuck you bitch.

Go on and delude yourself that you're defending free space. I wouldn't have the heart to force the truth on you, as if anyone could.

uh, defending free speech

"people are using propaganda, character assassination and harassment in an attempt to impose mob rule and suppress unpopular opinions"

a) this is what thousands of people like Sarky are doing to American universities, where ideas should be shouted down the least

b) and the alternative is to ban these uses of words on the internet? Those aren't threats. Threats are threats.

c) "in an attempt to impose mob rule and suppress unpopular opinions"

LITERAL mob rule??
And by "suppress unpopular opinions" what do you mean..?
Do you mean with jackboots, or just shouting them down? Those are some weighted words, JHM. And they're kinda misleading. Sounds like propaganda to me.
You don't detect the irony in defending Sarky by saying she's up against propaganda seeking to suppress unpopular opinion? On the same page as this video??

You just don't like it when it's not for you side.
I like you JHM, but man are you a dipshit white knight sometimes. You are the first person I've ever called "white knight" on the internet. Congrats.

Money for nothing,
But no chicks for me

Just think of the fascinating conversation we could be having!


Knobinal
Boy those people who gave money to Anita Sarkeessian sure were suckers!

Dat guy
Don't even get me started.

Knobinal
I know, right?

Dat Guy
All Gamers must die, of course!

Knobinal
It's the final solution. SARKEESIAN UBER ALLES!

Dat guy
*****

But not quite as big suckers as the ones who donated to the Tropes Vs. men project which literally stole the money. Or any of the other anti-feminist kickstarter-y bullshit projects which either never materialized or, if they did, were of such inept value that the term sucker is not even near enough.

Let's not forget the people who have donated money to groups like AVFM only to have their money basically being used to pay off debts and such instead of..I dunno..going towards men's rights.

The people who gave money to Anita Sarkeessian's kickstarter got exactly what they wanted. An all right feminist critique of videogames and the tears of angry gamers.

Here's an excellent article on just how full JohnBirch/GlennBeck/AlexJones the gators have gone since Anita and Zoe spoke at the UN, lobbying for world censorship and announcing the new world order.

You're an idiot if you don't think The Dark Knight is Nolan's best film.

I haven't seen all of Nolan's films, but I have seen Memento. I'm not sure that Memento is better, but I'm sure that thinking that Memento is better wouldn't make you an idiot.

Anyway, The Dark Knight probably cost more to make than the Sarkeesian Effect.

I have a soft spot for "Insomnia", which is probably the most underrated of Nolan's works, probably because it's a remake of an (arguably) superior film.
