Those women in the Middle East have no idea how lucky they are by not being oppressed by video games. I take getting stoned too death for getting rapped over a video game which sxualizese women any day.

I really don't buy that this is a meaningful fallacy. Like, you may indeed be suffering due to one thing or another, but that doesn't necessary make your suffering legitimate, or as important as somebody else's plight. Some people really do suffer because they're too dim-witted to realise how good they have it.
never complain about any of your life's problems, EVER, because there is ALWAYS someone worse off in the worldis that fair or rational
Quote from: Verbatim on August 18, 2016, 05:25:03 AMnever complain about any of your life's problems, EVER, because there is ALWAYS someone worse off in the worldis that fair or rationalThe point is when the suffering is self-imposed because the person is too stupid to broaden their perspective. Such as being annoyed at the title of No Man's Sky.
The difference here being that these people perceive themselves as oppressed champions of women's rights by complaining about the title of a video game while ignoring and even enabling the abuse women receive in Muslim countries.It's not like saying "don't complain about your shitty food, kids in Africa would kill to eat that". That would be the fallacy.

Now why don't you give your own opinion on the original point? Since you went straight to fallacies and the middle east instead.

QuoteI hope this has been mentioned around here before, and I don’t expect anyone cares, but historically “man” was a gender-neutral term (back in the middle ages the prefixes wer- and wif- specified “male man” or “female man”). This has a legacy in our modern language in the same sort of way that words that came to us from French origins have a different feel to them than German-based words we use that mean the exact same thing. We’re a lot more preoccupied with inclusiveness and gender than those that came before us. Languages have a lot of historical inertia and change over time mostly organically, so it’s a lot more likely for average people to notice an oddly named video game than to be bothered by something with “man” in the title. The “man” in the title of this game isn’t intended to be exclusive, it just has a different feel to it than saying “no one’s sky” or “no human’s sky” or “nobody’s sky.” I don’t think the studio probably thought that far into it and I expect they had no intention of making the title gendered.all i’m reading rn is penis penis penis penis penis penis

How fucking dense to you have to be to not realize that the article is just bait? Jezebel doesn't review games.
