Tropes vs. Women / #GamerGate Conspiracies
DusK replied to Brandon Strader's topic in General Discussion
Hello there, Mr. Pot. You know what kind of person resorts to ad hominem in lieu of an argument? Someone who know's they're wrong, but their inflamed right amygdala won't allow them to come to grips with that yet. -

Cute. I'm calling your "if something bad happens to you, it's your fault because you let it simply by doing what you normally do" bullshit out, and that means I can't read? -

Nobody has actually made one yet. Everything you and Meteo have said so far boils down to "they're to blame because they did something". Neither of you can list a single thing that actually makes them in any way responsible for what's happening to them, and in lieu of that, you two post vague stuff like "if they hadn't been doing what they do" and cop-outs like "they should have expected it" -- which again, not a single reasonable person on this planet fucking would. Nobody here has been able to explain exactly what they did that even makes them even partially responsible for what's happening to them other than "they exist and they do stuff". And that's bar none the stupidest reason a person could have for blaming another person for anything, really. You know what it's called to blame someone for something bad happening to them simply because they exist and do stuff? It's called victim blaming. Yeah, I used that phrase again, because the shoe fits. But you'll say you're not, and that Quinn and Sarkeesian are to blame for what's happening to them because they "exist and do stuff". That would be your stance regardless of any possible argument one could make, Mr. Pot. -

So basically, they're to blame because they did... something. I'm too tired for this shit. I'm going to bed. But hey, I'm enlightened now. Thanks for explaining it so clearly. I'll do you guys a favor and pass the word along that if they didn't want to get doxxed, harassed, and threatened, they should have never have "done the things they're known for". And on that note, that goes for the rest of you. Clearly, if you don't want to deal with the heinous behavior Quinn and Sarkeesian have had to deal with over the past few months, you should never "do the things you're known for", because if it happens to you, it's your fault for... doing stuff. -

Blame to go around? Remind me. What exactly did Sarkeesian or Quinn do that makes them "to blame" for death threats, endless harassment, etc? To the degree these two are experiencing it, no. That's the whole point I'm trying to make here. You're being unreasonable in your "boys will be boys" prattle. It is completely unreasonable to expect your life to be ruined just because you posted your opinion on the Internet. Simple concept. How are you not grasping it? -

Every single time you've stated "it should be expected". -

Stupid comparison. A more accurate one would be "You might not have gotten followed home and murdered in your sleep if you didn't leave a stack of $20s on your drivers seat, in plain view, with the windows down." So we should all assume that death threats are just the "typical scenario"? Why? Why, instead of insisting that kind of crap should be fixed, are you insisting that such stuff should be "expected"? Expecting people to disagree (like I do) or even to be mad because you posted your opinion on the Internet is reasonable. Expecting your fucking life to be ruined just because you posted your opinion on the Internet is not, and for thinking it is. -

Uh, yeah. "Boys will be boys" is still a defense. Hate to break that to ya. Doesn't it strike you even the least bit odd how eerily similar your post reads in comparison to date rape apologetics? Think about it. Think about what you're insisting "should be expected" rather than actively opposed. -

ITT AngelOutlaw hilariously defends cyberbullying and harassment. You just decided to be a douchebag apologist here on the OCR forum. Would it also be incorrect to assume that you won't be doxed and harassed for months because of that? After all, if you didn't want to be, maybe you shouldn't have voiced an opinion that would make yourself a target for such things, right? Why is it such a far-out idea that maybe -- just maybe -- that kind of shit is utterly reprehensible and nobody fucking deserves it? And why do we have to live in a culture where it's "expected"? -

Ah, yes. The Quinnspiracy. Lewl. There's irony in this rhetoric. Also, for the record, I'm not in any way defending the faux-feminist Quinn or the misandrist, fan-art-and-gameplay-video-stealing Sarkeesian, but maybe instead of making shit up to attack them, you guys might be taken a little more seriously if you stick to stuff that's actually proven. -

Wooo victim blaming, yeaah! Lemme guess; "they asked for it", right? -

Dislike his work or not, when he said what he said there, he was right. If you disagree, feel free to read some of the stuff being tweeted to Anita Sarkeesian. -

It's José. The accented é is important. Like capitalizing the M in OC ReMix. Happy birthday, Josie!

If you read that thread, you'd know that if your 'mix was submitted after October 14th, 2013, it isn't even in the judges' queue yet. Be patient. Judging takes a long, long time.

I could probably pump out something pretty hardcore for the UMvC3 title theme.

Speeding Towards Adventures: 25 Years of Sonic the Hedgehog - History
DusK replied to Black_Doom's topic in Projects
I'd like to do a track, but two years is a long time. If I make a track, I'd want to jump on as late as possible to ensure that I'm putting everything I can into making it the best I can, instead of making one now and regretting it two years down the road when I'm capable of so much more. I'll be keeping an eye out though. -
I might be on at midnight if work doesn't kill me tonight.
