out of respect

Anything even resembling respect would give weight to conservative views. Especially since reasonable people can disagree on this. This is about deference based on personal preferences, not respect, and it is not obvious at all who should be deferred to.

You think this guy's an asshole? I'll have you know you're doing a fine job you invalidating another person's point of view, personal preferences, judgements, and lived experiences. Sounds pretty assholish to me.

I wish we could all just live our lives the way we want without unsolicited debate.

That requires going to Kotaku though. I'll have no part in their revenue stream.

Same. I used to go to Kotaku a lot until I realized their revolting political bias. It's sad tbh.

nobody is politically neutral everyone has a side to play for

even if you tried to be neutral there's no way you can say with a straight face "donald trump's doing a great job!"

Did you enjoy the most recent Ghost Busters? Why not? Was it because the only real prominent male was really just eye candy?

Eh, it was okay. Not as terrible as people were saying, but not great either. Nice presumption of "No" there, though.

Maybe it's time to pick a different movie to exemplify hatred of women. Why not Alien or Terminator? Is it because they're so old that the hatred and misogyny they faced was worse than they would get today?

"Trump is doing a...job..."

That's pretty neutral.

That's pretty neutral.

that would imply he's actually contributing to something or even doing something but the most he does is tweet angry rants and then tell people he's got great plans and ideas for this country....plans that never happen

which isn't surprising considering most of them are on the "how can i be a giant dickhead today? level

I'll have you know you're doing a fine job you invalidating another person's point of view, personal preferences, judgements, and lived experiences.

You can have all those things and still be an asshole about expressing them.
For example, my humanity is constantly up for debate, and I'm bitter and constantly lash out about it, so my lived experiences have turned me into an asshole.

Aren't you being a bit melodramatic here? "My humanity is constantly up for debate"??? Apparently your lived experiences have turned you into an emotionally manipulative asshole and that's a huge problem with this issue. Emotion based arguments based on muh feelings are always going to muddy the waters no matter how much science you claim to have backing the position when the fallback position is always to browbeat your opposition with your ranking in the Hardship Olympics.

To be fair I question Kana's humanity all the time. It's just something fun to do.

Even people who don't have complexes like you do it, though. You gotta understand when I talk about these things, I'm not really talking about you.

We seem to be having some miscommunication here. People can believe whatever, if they see a transwomen, and think "that's a dude in a dress" fine, it is what it is. If someone goes out of the way to TELL that person "You're just a dude in a dress", that is going out of your way to be hurtful to someone. That make a little more sense?

Uggg... Kotaku. I'm ashamed to have once said I liked them more than Famitsu because I got the names mixed up. At least Famitsu has a cute HDN character while I suspect Kotaku would have an overweight girl with blatantly dyed hair (in a world where lavender is a natural hair color) who gladly screeches anytime the fanservice comes on.

I have a complex...? :o

Umm, I guess? Actually, no.. You've just made a terrible generalization there.

BOY, what a story. MAN, I couldn't even see the point... It's not like he was being a DICK... Someone needs thicker skin. BRO, that's some GROOOOOVEY shit.

Seriously though?
