Peridiam 07/20/18 1:04:23 PM #249:	Apparently missed Rockstar doing the oh-so-enjoyably-overdone pots and pans to Brett, saying he has a "micro penis" over and over. Well, at least she's bringing the drama and isn't turning into a wallflower. That said, the persecution complex, "white male privilege" angle, it feels too forced and misplaced. Like it's happening for the sake of it, instead of actually because of it. I don't know if me being liberal (mostly)/feminist/etc. makes a difference from my critical lens, because I'm also white and male, but I don't condone her critical assessment of the situation here. I WANT to be on the same page as her because I often am, but the substance behind her judgment in this case is... shallow, and her execution is immature. Brett hasn't socialized much with her but at the same time he's done nothing else to instigate the ire outside of attempting to blow up her game last night. He's truly not a "bully" like she wants to label him. I was bullied in school (to an extent, nothing crazy) - and it sucked - but Brett is not that guy. Or at least not from what I've seen so far. I believe she thinks Brett represents an archetype of a person she loathes, instead of actually being that person. Last night she kept going off on frustrating rants based on the premise that Brett is "constantly getting his way in 2018". She says "How is it possible a straight, white, male is constantly getting his way in 2018?" It's because he's in a dominant alliance that controls the swing votes, girl. That she resorts to this shallow line of thinking as her default is VERY disappointing. There are smarter ways to approach this situation but her MO spoils the broth that is what actual social justice stands up for. She draws ire with so many fans because of her approach and her flawed analysis. It also doesn't help that she's pretty bad at the game too (and is threatening quitting because she doesn't get her way). This is my own little rant but I just want to bring up the line of thinking Rockstar has and why I disagree with it in this case, despite actually agreeing with it in the big picture. If I'm wrong in some way with my assessment of this, I don't mind be corrected. --- https://imgur.com/6Lra0Xf https://imgur.com/fZbEYu0 <cite>Peridiam posted [p:905419255] in Survivor/B...
