"If you pay to go to a public school, you can't complain if you face institutionalized discrimination"

Yeah, what a guy
You guys really need to stop throwing around terms like 'institutionalized discrimination' where there is none, because all it will ever end up doing is denigrating actual cases of institutionalized discrimination.

The university didn't offer what these idiots were looking for. Boo fucking hoo. They either have a choice of bucking up and choosing something else, or moving to another university that have the major they want. Crying wolf and throwing temper tantrums accomplishes nothing.

'Institutionalized discrimination' fucking lmao. Anything to establish a victim status for these people.
jfc

Nobody's talking about the fuckin' major. Who gives a shit about the fuckin' major?
the protesters
kek
The point on the major is so far-removed from the primary point of the protests that I literally hadn't even heard that point brought up until today.

And beating up a reporter for practicing his natural rights instantly undermines any validity, not that there was any to begin with, your cause had.

Also "safe places" are unlawful
Lmao

Please explain how

And you do realize that literally everywhere is a "safe space" in some form or fashion, yes?

Not offering is very niche subject as a major isn't discrimination.
Occidental is also a private school.
Not saying it is, but he's doing the "le ebin free speech, no safe spaces" shit. Nothing to do with majors.
Free speech should be the most cherished right of any free nation.
And? That doesn't mean you don't have the right to formally complain when the faculty and staff of an educational institution are calling you "nigger".

And 90% of those minority students have a scholarship specifically because of their skin color.

Fucking morons.
Lmao

You realize that "diversity quotas" help more white people get into Ivy League schools than minorities, right?

Do you realize how many Asians places like Yale and Harvard turn down?

That just takes you to his trade inventory. His coat isn't in the trade inventory.

He's got another outfit that I thought was the coat, but it's some bullshit that isn't

This thread would make him proud.
Freud had a number of silly ideas tbh. Probably doesn't help that he was such a narcissist.
We have a thread full of people arguing about dicks and sticking dicks in things and dicks being stuck into things. The man was right.

Or maybe the ancient Greeks were all just gay.

Maybe. But consider this...

A man is straight, but he wants to find out what all the fuss is about shrouding gay sex. He has a man enter his anus.

Now at first, he doesn't like it. But maybe he thinks it's one of those tolerance things. So he does it again, and guess what? He likes it. He now has gay sex with men. He isn't attracted to men, he just enjoys things being shoved up his ass.

Gay sex isn't homosexual at all. You can get fucked by a man without being attracted to him. Being homosexual is different from having gay sex, and so, being asexual is different from not having sex.
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and go kill myself

This may be the dumbest thing ever said

If you're a straight dude, do you need to try sex with another guy to know that you're not gay?

No, because being homosexual has nothing to do with having sex with the same gender. A straight man could have sex with men for fun.
My head hurts from the sheer amount of dumb this is

"Asexual people just need to try sex. Then they'd like it."

If you're a straight dude, do you need to try sex with another guy to know that you're not gay?

Do you need to try getting fucked in the ass by a bronco before you realize that horse cock just isn't for you?

Oh my, is it already that time?

Well actually I usually post these on Thursdays so it was that time a couple of days ago, but...fuck off, it's that time again now.

Welcome, one and all, to Spooky Skeleton Cindo's thread of the week where I will attempt to post a topic on Serious that will actually generate conversation and that isn't about god damn fucking politics holy fucking shit this fucking board always fucking talks about politics god damn.

And don't bitch at me for writing a wall because, god dammit, that's what these threads are made for.

So what's the topic of this week's lovely thread? Well last week's was a bit of a bust - people weren't really opposed to anything that I was saying and that sort of ruins the fun of the thread, now doesn't it? So I thought long on hard on what topic to make this week's thread about until I finally arrived on an answer. This forum was founded from Bungie which was founded from gaming, right? So let's make a thread, I thought, about the type of thing that people on this website should get fucking FIRED UP about - sexism within the gaming industry.

Now, before I continue, let's establish one thing - I don't like Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian, but I also don't like those fuckwits over at /r/KotakuInAction or /r/Gamergate. The former is a group of people who overreact to pretty much everything that could possibly have harmful implications and the latter is a group of kissless virgin neckbeards who are angry that their sacred "gaming" culture is being invaded by people who they feel owe them sex.

So, anyways, onto the actual post -

The culture surrounding gaming and the development is sexist as a baseline and that's pretty much a fact. Say what you will about the continuing careers of Quinn, Sarkeesian, and Wu, but the initial "Gamergate" scandal was nothing more than a bunch of people harassing some girl based off of shit her ex-boyfriend lied about. Her game was abject shit, no denying that, but when an entire movement forms out of a claim with no base that some woman might be whoring herself out for money, it's pretty evident that there's a problem.

As for sexism within the games themselves, I'll say that things are getting much better. A large portion of the reason that said media appears as sexist is simply that it's appealing to what has, for the majority of it's lifetime, been the primary audience - straight white dudes. It makes sense that most of the women are busty, attractive girls that love wearing skimpy clothing and that most protagonists are the "generic white dude" that shows up in pretty much every game ever, but that doesn't mean that such things should continue as gaming becomes more popular for all involved. Naturally, all games don't need to cater to these things, but the culture should shift in that direction. The fact that so many games including women as playable characters is looked at as a "bonus" feature or something that the developers couldn't really spend time into is evidence of said problem.

HOWEVER, I think a key point is often missed in the fact that sexualization =/= objectification. Sure, if a female character's only purpose is to stand around and look hot, then that's just ridiculous, but a female character being sexualized isn't inherently wrong if there are also other aspects of her character. I always use League of Legends to argue this point only because there's a large portion of the fanbase that gets all up-in-arms about how sexualized all of the female champions are and how they all "show off too much skin" and have "unrealistic body proportions" - this, in my opinion, totally ignores the fact that there are plenty of champions and skins that have buff hotties with chiseled abs walking around next to the busty girls.

This post was kinda lower-effort than my last ones, but, oh well. Sue me. I wasn't as organized.

Also consider this a place to rant about the cesspool that is everything to do with Gamergate, because I love ranting about the cesspool that is everything to do with Gamergate.
