Which is why I've felt the debate needed to graduate from the gaming sphere months ago, but maybe it's to the media's advantage to keep it there? I'm trying not to be too conspiratorial about it. I don't like lumping 'the media' together either, but I'm not sure what other term to use.

@Damariel Alunnar: That was awesome why remove it? :p
I don't think it's always conscious collusion. These outlets are in competition, after all. I think a lot of it is simply groupthink. They don't know anyone who doesn't think like they do, so they can only imagine a different view as hostile, reactionary, uncivilized, etc.

On the other hand, some it is unquestionably agenda-driven.

In GamerGate that type are the worst offenders, the ones driving coverage that the others are parroting.

About the CH Sommers video, it gets more dull and repetitive as it goes on. I think you get the most important things in the first five or ten minutes.

Good, I stopped at 45, lol.

And a mix of both, that's likely the reality of it, agreed.
 
Lol, that's the last character I expected to see on playboy. Is that chick really sexy to anyone? Fixed up like a spring chicken, looking like a damn peacock, lol. I wouldn't pluck her feathers. Must be just purely done as a joke, because she looks like she's trying to give birth standing up in that first picture.

Or is it just me? Lol.
 
@Unkindled Her style here is not even close to my taste too, but I bet there will be some dudes which would like that. There always are some fans for everything (look Japan :winkwink: ) I appreciate the effort though.
 
Oh Shor, Japan...

Anyway, I do like the middle finger. Just... lol. Had to comment, as that didn't even remotely tickle my tickle bone and thought it odd, since someone in the comments mentioned they could now "Fap while playing vidya". Lol.
 
Lol Sargon. I knew he couldn't resist to rip on Valenti. Love his videos.

Gawker, lol. I wonder how many sponsors we'd need to get rid of to either get them to straighten up (not ever likely), or get rid of them completely. I'd rather they straighten up since I don't like being reminiscent of the lib tactics used elsewhere, but it's better than doing nothing.

You mean Bayonetta or the girl cosplaying as her? I think the girl's pretty damn sexy TBH.

Both really, though I was talking about the girl, since I'm not into anime esque chicks in general, though the actual Bayonetta looks at least more appropriate, I guess you could say. Like it was mentioned before, she has impossible proportions, so this was a good try.

The girl herself is pretty, but with all that shit on her? My dick has never been softer. lol
