Things that I wish wouldn't exist in the world

[veehro]

1. PC speech

This has so much power these days that its not even funny. It can ruin businesses, get people fired and even ruin lives. Its stupid because its just words. It also adds censorship in a world where there should be freedom of expression and ideas.
Also sometimes i feel as if people are just pretending to get offended by some words because its "normal" to get offended by them, not that they're actually offended.
Finally sometimes it bars certain constructive criticism. (try talking bad about islam in the british press for instance)


2. Religion affecting society

This one is by far the most annoying for me. If some one wants to believe in something, thats fine. But the moment that person forces his belief on others is down right sickening. Example of this is people fighting against gay maridge, but are clueless on the fact that a muslim who has 4 wives, can come in america, and his maridge is going to be recognised.

Another example is people fighting off abortions for purely religious reasons. Now if they have another reason besides religion, its fine. But when its just something THEY believe in and they impose it on other people its sick. Also most of these people that i have spoke with are pro gun. I mean wtf. How are you pro guns if in the same bible it clearely states DO NOT KILL. You should be against soldiers in general, even for defense because guess what? They also kill.
They should also be against death penalty, drone strikes and everything else that includes a human dying.

3. Feminism in gaming

I see it more and more and its abhorent. Most of the time the feminist bloggers are going to cancel and censor any cirticism they recieve, even the legit one, so its very hard to combat it. When you point it out they play the victim card and say that they're a woman and you're picking on them because they're a woman.

Most people are now complaining that ubisoft doesnt have a female in Assassin creed. This is just retarded. Imagine if people would go to Mark Twain asking him to add more female characters, or people going to Tolkien and saying they wanted a female lead for lord of the rings.
Games are stories made by the devs, if they feel like adding a female character then they should, if not then they shouldn't. Its their story.
Not to mention that a female would hardly fit in Assassin Creed.
Not only females were not warriors in that age. But most of them were forced to wear dresses because the bible forbit women to wear mans clothing.
It would be ridiculous to see a woman in a dress climb on top of buildings or be booed in the crowd if she wore pants.

Another point is that people consider that females are over sexualised in games.

My answer is that men are oversexualised as well. What is the last game you've played with a fat bald dude or a teenage boy with his face full of acne? Or a stupid fat average guy like homer simpson who just tries to get through his day to day life?
You dont see that. Because games are ment to escape the world of mundane, to get players in a fantasy world.



4. Keeping violence down in video games and movies


There are absolutely no studies to show that violent games leed to violent behavior. There are billions of people playing games and most of them are violent. Yet there is no increase in violence worldwide then it was 30 years ago.
And as a med student I find it so unrealistic whenever I see a movie with people shooting at each other with assault rifles and there is not even the tinyest amount of blood going on.

What's the point of this thread? Your original post is too unfocused for me to know what I'm supposed to respond to.

Whiny Social Retards and Social Pariahs who use message boards as their personal dairies. Who think that others really want to read about the source of their pent up angst. While said outcasts give the other readers an example as to why no one listens to said outcasts in the first place.

You're a horrible person. Onions are really good for flavoring and whatnot. I almost feel sorry for you and your philistine peasant-tier taste.

Narcissism. Sociopaths. Those two are pretty much the same.

4. Keeping violence down in video games and movies

America is pretty backwards from the rest of the world. While other countries see sex as something natural and not to be ashamed of, thus including it in entertainment often, America will give anything sexual an extremely restrictive rating. Other countries are that way about violence, but America will give super violent movies a PG rating.

You were not prepared.
