No but it's dumb in general. He was/wasn't something so it is/Isn't bad is just stupid cause you can attribute anything to being bad or good that way.


This isn't "Hitler liked music so music is bad". Extreme nationalism goes hand in hand with the bad things he did.


But that doesn't mean nationalism in and of itself is bad

Hence dumb logic

The type of people who would make this argument are the same that would say communism or socialism could never work because of the bad examples. And if they understood the concept of self awareness, they'd realize that.

Socialism or least socialist ideas have worked in the right circumstances. Even communism has worked on very small scales. Name 1 time nationalism benefited the common man. "Made bigots have to deal with less minorities" does not count.

Nationalism has never worked to make its own country better, just more isolated. "Less Jews/blacks/gays/etc" is weighed far heavier than "better education/healthcare/wealth for the citizens"

The bible is a pretty good place to start.

I've read the Bible. That is not evidence. A book treating something as if it exists does not prove it exists. We have no tangible evidence of the existence of a God, past or present. If the Bible proves God exists, then all holy texts prove all gods exists.

Like I said, I simply cannot believe in things. I am open to literally anything existing, but things basically don't exist before evidence

If you're attracted to the feminine aspects of them, then no. No one is attracted to someone because "they were born X or Y". If you're attracted to men/women then it's probably because you're attracted to traits that are typical in men/women.

....Granted that's putting things simply.

Basically. We don't have some innate chromosome radar or whatever. It's kinda funny how worried some people are at the possibility of finding someone attractive that turns out to be trans.

If they stopped screaming racial epithets, hating non-whites and regurgitating Third Reich talking points, then maybe people would stop confusing the alt-right with Nazis.

Until I have reason to believe otherwise, no.

The safe bet is to not believe in things with 0 evidence. It's weird how different we treat believing in God compared to believing in Bigfoot. I guess I just find believing to be pointless as a concept.

maybe because God and Bigfoot are dramatically different things

Yet neither has observable evidence as we speak, which currently makes them as equally plausible as anything else. Their actual functions are meaningless until they prove to exist.

remember when all the games websites published "gamers are dead" articles at the same time lmao

A lot of them lost their virginity to Zoe Quinn after years of being male feminists. So of course they were going to put down male gamers and promote feminism. In their minds, being a male feminist got them laid. Really, Zoe Quinn wanted to manipulate reviews. It wasn't actually a reward at all.

Depression Quest would be a multibillion dollar franchise with rave reviews if a brave man didn't stop this vile woman.

People got mad that a no-name developer allegedly slept with someone to get a good review for her no-name game. It didn't happen.

Jackasses started harassing her. In response, video game sites started talking about how gamers suck. A bunch of stupid bullshit followed. "Ethics in journalism" became the excuse despite there being actual examples of unethical behavior before and after that "controversy". I'm sure it was pure coincidence that this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Bitterbeards have gotten mad at every representation of women and minorities in games since.

Or create an account and contribute. That's what I did.

*sigh*

It's already been addressed multiple times in this topic...it costs more for taxpayers to fund an execution than it does a life sentence without parole.


I understand that. Im questioning our long and drawn out process as well as the sentence. There are people on death row who admitted to murdering entire families, and it takes many years to get rid of them.

Due process is due process. If we throw it out when we're double dog sure that someone is guilty, then we are opening up a huge can of worms. When is sure sure enough?

It's when they cheaply ham-fist it into games and make it so obviously interjected that it's less "progressive" and more "virtue signalling" that it becomes a problem and ruins the narrative flow of the game.


When was the narrative flow in any Bioware game ruined by this.

Andromeda for certain.


When?


-random discussion about terraforming-

"By the way did you know I'm trans?"

Boy, that random NPC you don't even have to talk to sure did ruin the narrative flow of the game

Why are you bringing facts into this? We have to blame games we don't like on SJWs. We can't blame other things because..... stuff.

Why focus on this instead of the gameplay or story

People dug up his profile and started ranting about how the SJWs are going to ruin Dragon Age. All he did was respond and say "We're going to handle the story and characters the way we always have." This guy is the narrative director after all. This isn't an official EA game reveal or something, just a guy talking about the part of the game he works on.

You know what. I would have no problem with CNN giving deniers a voice so long as it was done proportionally with the scientific community. So if they have a climate change denier on, it just needs to be balanced with 99 scientists who believe it's a problem.

that gets back to my point about drowning out the opposition. discussions are supposed to make you think, not piss you off because you feel like your opinion is being criticized.

How will not criticizing someone's opinion persuade them to change that opinion?

is it odd that people shit on a news station trying to show both sides of a topic? especially when those people claim they show unfair bias?


Being unbias does not mean showing crackpot theories as legitimate.

there is no counter argument to climate change that isn't crackpot...


I mean. Showing climate change deniers to be present yourself as unbias is not a good way to do so.

I'm just saying in regards to your comment about presenting both sides. Sometimes one side just doesn't deserve air time and not showing it doesn't make you bias.

news groups need at least the illusion of discussion, otherwise they become fox news.


Some things don't deserve a discussion.

There's no good reason to give air time to climate change deniers and focusing the debate on whether or not it exists is a problem.

Good journalism would focus on the fact that climate change is a problem and the steps that can be done about it.

Since basically the entire scientific community agrees it is happening. Also a discussion on whether or not humans are a main cause would also be a waste because it really doesn't matter.

simple fact is humans dont change their mind easily, especially on topics they've dug their heels in over. you're not going to change minds by blasting dissenters with the same message over and over, you might change minds by debating the points of both sides of an argument.

>Humans don't change their minds
>A debate will change minds
