    i really hate social topics

    cops murdering blacks. gamer culture being tied in with rape culture, whatever the fuck that is. racism apparently being a big problem in america. fucking feminists around every goddamn corner bitching about how women are portrayed in fantasy, the next thing you know they are going to complain that bacon is demeaning to their image.

    you're criticized for being passive and apathetic. but when you express an opinion to one of these people, they resort to ad hominem despite all of their gloating about how educated and fucking worldly they are. and for fuck's sake, most of these people are women! But hey, maybe this is the fucking correlation here - it's not about misogyny, it's just that a lot of outspoken women are hung up on shit that is stupid as fuck and doesn't even matter

    i instantly lose respect for someone the second they say they are a feminist or even utter the word rape culture. i literally fly into a seething rage every time i have to hear that gamer culture is about being a 12 year old kid on xbox live and that I can't be a fucking normal person who likes to slay pixel dragons for fun.

    it's so frustrating to know people this stupid actually fucking exist.

    How do you deal with it? A fifth of jack? punching a hole in the wall? masturbate furiously to german dungeon porn? smoke three bowls?

    I love social topics, I usually get banned quickly though, which I don't love. There are a lot of facts in this brain that they don't want people to hear, so they do all they can to silence me.

    Legitimate social issues must be raised. There's no escaping that. That is not to say uneducated, bias and uninformed people unfortunately do not join the conversation; loudly I might add.

    Yeah, clearly you are a "normal" person....
    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

    slowly inhale........... exhale.............inhale.............exhale............

    it's healthier than rambling.
    People just pick up on it, and feed on your rage.

    And I get that, but its like wow really I can't even tell people I enjoy video games besides mario kart because of bad experiences women have had in gaming and articles about bad experiences women have had in gaming read by women.

    And I just think it's funny, because they are the same type of people who turn around and try to tell you that your distrust of a certain type of person who is usually a specific ethnicity is completely unfounded and you shouldn't be as wary, careful or cautious around them because that's just bigotry.

    This might blow your mind and it's a strategy that takes years to master and it's even harder to pull off in real life.

    Don't click and read things that frustrate you.

    we were talking about usernames. she asked me if i was into reading books. i told her rpgs have enough dialogue that they might as well be books.

    she says she is anti-gaming. i ask her why - not like in a challenging way or anything. and then she explodes me with shit about how video games are an escape from reality and a gate to misogyny, something about #gamergate and guys who play video games are losers.

    I wish that I could have clicked out of that. I wish I could delete it like it was the porn on my hard drive.

    Agreed.

    It's sickening listening to people parroting talking points from the media, whether that be fox news, msnbc, cnn, pbs etc. I've gotten rid of my TV, don't use Facebook or twitter, no cell phone, don't go out to bars. Only hang out with a small number of friends. Basically rejected a large part of American society.

    It's pretty easy to get away from once you turn off the TV and computer. Smoking 3 bowls and painting, while listening to Game of Thrones audiobook is my vice atm.

    lol....... that's one of the possibly dumbest answers one can give to such question..


    she says she is anti-gaming. i ask her why - not like in a challenging way or anything. and then she started explodes me with shit about how video games are an escape from reality and a gate to misogyny, something about #gamergate and guys who play video games are losers.

    You've lost her with the book answer.. Anything after that, was just her getting back at you. Trying to lure you out of your shell and see if there's more hidden..

    Well, it used to be a LOT worse. They didn't criticize you or resort to ad hominem attacks in Soviet Russia. They just busted down your door in the middle of the night and hauled you off to a prison camp for the rest of your life. Other civilizations would just kill you on the spot. At least its just words.

    I'm a bit worried when Al Gore starts talking about banning people from politics if they don't believe in global warming, or when corporations seem to start wielding what power they can to isolate those who have "incorrect" views.

    Sounds like you dodged a land mine with that chick.

    You wouldn't to happen to have that conversation saved or screen capped? For the lulz.

    RPGS ARE A GATEWAY DRUG TO MISOGYNY!!!!!

    THIS IS WHAT A FEMINIST LOOKS LIKE!!!!

    Creating a social topic to discuss how much you hate social topics. Irony.

    If you don't like Social Topics..ignore them.

    Don't mention politics during dates.

    Better yet, be a Clinton supporter.

    What difference will it make? I don't see contray opinions like that ruining most relationships. If you're just looking for a bootycall, you'll be done before a revelation ruins a relationship.
