A Crash Course in Feminism Mk. II (or, why everyone should be a feminist)

[eldargal]

That's the big lie of the US gun lobby, they say nothing can be done to fix it while ignoring virtually every country that has seriously tried as managed it. Then they say the US is special and what works their won't work elsewhere, but then they cite other similar countries to demonstrate high gun ownership isn't unusual...

Not against gun ownership, I own guns. But being able to walk around with a loaded weapon designed to kill people is obscene. Especially since in this same state (I think) a black man was shot and killed for trying to buy an air gun or something in a store filled with white people carrying loaded rifles.


The second one...

The actual threats printed in the verge article don't mention gamers or games and sound more like the rantings from that MRA nutter that did that shooting not long back.

hurray for america, where owning guns is more important than life, rights, or anything else.

I don't care about gamer gate as I almost exclusively play sandbox games, mainly simcity, minecraft and spore

I would have expected the media to print that one.
Still not acceptable, and not representative of the majority.

It's not that far from representative. She has been dealing with threats of violence, rape and death since her Kickstarter, this just escalated it to a massacre of anyone seen to be aligned with her. The gamergate crowd are celebrating her backing out of the talk as a victory too, if you needed any more evidence of the kind of filth we are dealing with.

The vast majority condemn the harassment.
I haven't seen any of the antis condemning the harassment from their side.
Currently the anti side is renting bots to tweet support that also support ISIS.
The entire thing has the extremists shouting, the moderates pointing out their issues, and the trolls are laughing their arse off playing both sides.

Every country needs a hobby.

I didn't even know you could get Fedoras with built in Balaclavas.
