So this is from Salon.com. Anyone surprised? I've followed a few of this woman's articles (glorified blogs). I feel bad for this woman. She has stage 4 cancer, which I believe means it's terminal. And she finds time to attack Dan Bernstein, but because she is such a phony bleeding heart, she can't even do that right.

So here's her article on how Bernstein's apology IS NOT ENOUGH.

http://www.salon.com/2015/03/27/spare_us_your_apologies_dan_bernstein/

Here's an article she wrote on why she posed nude for Glamour (be still your beating heart, George Costanza):

http://www.salon.com/2010/01/20/mommys_first_nude_shoot/

But it's not only ok for her to do this, it is...EMPOWERING. It's empowering, that is, until a guy says he wants to see your boobs. Then, it's disgraceful. For men. It's absolutely, 100% an abomination. For a man to say he likes to see your boobs.

Not only is this the wrong woman to say anything about Bernstein's flaws as a human being (I think we do a much, much better job)--but I mean...Emma Watson, where are you?!? YESALLWOMEN? NOOO! Give me a #notallwomen.

I suppose we're to be very thankful that a Dead Womyn Walking is taking time out of her schedule to educate us and scold us on how evil men are. But couldn't she at least have dug a little deeper into Bernstein's misogyny? I'd hate for her deathbed confession to be that she would've wanted to read more of the Bronte sisters. I mean, really get into it, hon. Dan Bernstein has said way way worse things. Or does your acidic hand only reach the Twitterverse?

VERY. IMPORTANT. FEMINISM. HERE.

I think someone somewhere said here that the new political correctness is the art of not noticing, or something to that effect.
I may have gotten the quote wrong, but the sentiment is spot on.
Did people just realize in 2015 that people sometimes say questionable things?
Does anyone watch stand-up comedy anymore?
Watch R-rated movies?
(Much of) Society has become a bunch of pussy whiners.
It's not like Bernstein crashed a plane into the Alps or committed a crime whatsoever.
This is so fucking boring, so the last thing I have to add is BIG TITS ARE THE GREATEST.
ESPECIALLY IN HD.
Even though I don't get the Chicago channels. I have no idea who Dan was even talking about.
tl;dr

tl; dr is exactly what i'd like to attach to almost every sociopolitical "story" i see in the media.

There is a modern strain of "feminism" which can't seem to decide if women are capable and strong or damsels in distress. It reaches its apex in the broadened definition of rape wherein if a woman who freely chooses to imbibe in alcohol or drugs (a choice I fully support anyone of any gender having the ability to make) subsequently cannot remember pulling a man's cock out and sucking on it, said man is guilty of a criminal act.

You are correct, but when the little shit that does it took the last 5 years to point out how bad everyone else is for not living to his high standards, guess what, here comes the media attack right back at ya!

Granted, she doesnt know Bernstein and in this case, she is probably just jumping on the mob bandwagon, but thats part of it as well.

While I just dont listen to them anymore, I wonder if anyone is even allowed to bring it up in one of Dans famous arguements when he takes low blows at guys that dont sound so smart and he says "Duuuuhhhh"...can that guy say something like 'At least I dont degrade women"....or does that get dumped now?

One of the dumbest and most misguided hashtag "movements" in the history of twitter.

what? dude i was there since #burgersandfries day 2, aka the 2nd day of the thing that eventually became #gamergate (when adam baldwin first used that term). i bet you read some media stories on it and they programmed you to say that, but if you wanna know what it was really about i'll tell you, seeing as i was actually like.... you know... there. watching it all unfold. doesn't count for much when the blogosphere/media makes up its mind and tells you #something is bad and this is what you need to think.

what blew up #burgersandfries and eventually #gamergate was the immediate swift and systemic censorship on 4chan, reddit, and lal over the internet. that's what made it a thing. it started off like "whoa this dude eron posted a blog about how his ex, a game developer, was cheating on him with industry people" and then when people were like "woah" everything started getting deleted/banned/etc which is what made people go "wait... what the fuck is going on here?" and nobody really cared about the original chick as much as much as they cared that people in power told them "you can not talk about this" and that's what blew everything up.

but i bet you think it's their hatred of women, right?

_________________

The moment I stopped reading.

right. see, you're going to trust some media outlet to tell you what something's all about as opposed to someone here who was sitting there watching the drama unfold as it happened. that's the sad/scary thing about what happened here.

my favorite thing was that zoe quinn herself copped to messing around with the industry guys, but newsweek eventually up and decided to say "it has been proven that the allegations against zoe quinn were proven false" and then the next round of e-mags/websites all said "NEWSWEEK REPORTED THAT THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ZQ WERE FALSE!" and after that the next round could say "many media outlets have reported that the allegations against zq were false" and then that spirals outward and somewhere in that a well-meaning lipidquadcab comes in and reads it and goes "wow, those #gamergators are truly nuts.... this whole thing is sad" and you have your opinions and stuff.

and that's what's going on here and it's clear to me that you've been indoctrinated to such an extent that when you have me here saying "dude i literally watched this shit as it happened and i kept up with it and i can tell you what i saw" (i barely participated. me and my brother were just fascinated watching all of this shit go down because it was a thing) and you're already like NOPE. THAT'S IT. YOU WERE THERE AT THE #GAMERGATE AND THAT MEANS YOU'RE COMPROMISED BIASED AND WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN SINI?

that's the truly scary part about all this shit. it's basically what actually happened versus what the media told you to think and guess who won? PROTIP: it's not what actually happened, seeing as you yourself just prove you have no desire to actually know about that as much as you do have one to be on the "right" aka "socially acceptable" side of this, as i picked up on a long time ago.

Well we made it a bit further this time...

so you're allowed to basically think i'm indoctrinated and then you stop reading, but i'm not allowed to think the same thing of you?

#okthen

brian williams really fucked it up for us intrepid on-the-scene reporters, eh?

_________________

When the fuck did I say you were indoctrinated? I never made this about you.

You're the one leaping to conclusions about how I've formed my opinion. Not the other way around.

ok then let's take a time out and ask how you got to your opinion then.

forgive me for being biased because i've experienced a whole bunch of cognitive dissonance on this subject and when said subject brings up a "THE MOST MISGUIDED TWITTER MOVEMENT EVER" or whatever you said, well, i'm personally feeling cognitive dissonance because from what i've experienced i've seen way too much "NUH UH, [THIS IS WHAT IT IS]" where my opinion and experiences are discarded because i'm not toeing the company line.

the other super-hilarious thing was when there was the whole "#gamergate is worse than isis" thing isis themselves had to tweet that they and NOT gamergate is the one true caliphate and etc etc. that just about made my life right there =D

Jorr, thanks for making me lol. Weaving current events together is a thing of beauty. I think we're all basking in the glow of teambernstein's caliphate imploding.

This is as a good an analog as I can think of.

Like a Jihad that seeks to establish a caliphate you saw BernSTINE spread out in all directions using violence and subversion to capture large swaths of territory, indoctrinate the weak willed, establish a hierarchy and make those that practiced any sort of different belief system bow their heads to him in fear he would stunt their careers or, worse, take their heads off. Well, he lied to those poor sods because 670 and radio in general is littered with the stinking, headless corpses of those that were made to submit. Parallel to this his ranks grew with those that couldn't think for themselves, marching in all directions, spreading the same message by hatchet, ax and saw. A message board ALS was also formed by those who had no ability to critically think, they towed the line as well, they spewed the bile, they tried to drown out free and righteous thinkers...the ALS isn't innocent in any of this, they are to ride the elevator to hell with their fallen "hero."

That time is now coming to a close, the BernSTINE Caliphate is crumbling, its occupants still living in a bubble, unaware of what is about to come crashing down upon them. The armies are ready, they are at the gates, the shelling is about to end and the fortress will be reduced to rubble.

It's over.

I personally gave up on the gamergate thing when one night on 8chan some lady from a christian videogame watchdog showed up and I was like "hey I get stoned and play video games with Jesus a few times a week and if you want an interview just say the word!"

My post was deleted and I was shouted down by ~10+ people as a shill and told to go to other boards cuz this is SERIOUS BUSINESS HERE and rah each rah. I realized they didn't give a shit about free speech/expression and furthermore they were being co-opted into another variety of what they were ostensibly fighting. C'est la vie.
