The GUARDIAN isn’t left wing enough for them?
I think it was banned because they don’t like Glen Greenwald saying the Russia stuff was a hoax.

I still can't believe they are considering banning the Guardian.
Speaking of the Guardian, it looks like their ex-CEO (who left two months ago to become the Footbal Premier League CEO, but has now had to resign) has got himself into a "me too" situation, after repeatedly propositioning a young, female Guardian journalist:
Guardian's CEO is a Sex Pest
David Pemsel is the CEO of The Guardian and a 51 year-old married man. Above are some of his texts to a twentysomething female colleague. He was about toorder-order.com
He’s an unfaithful douche but she’s clearly leading him on xx
There can be no such thing as equality so long as women continue to claim the benefits of being a woman while also demanding the benefits of being a man xx
I don't know, that whole adding "kisses" thing seems to be becoming quite common, and not just among young women. When I was working in the UK a couple of years back a 50-something year old women our company worked with would always end her messages with "xx". I thought it was a little weird but just ignored it. There was a 21 year old guy I worked with who got a little excited by it, and was disappointed when he found out that she gave kisses to everyone and not just him (he was probably hoping for some cougar action ). Still, I think it's a dumb thing to do. I mean, why are you sending me kisses, you're not my girlfriend.
Why is there so much blowback from people when asking for more gender & ethnic diversity in games?
I want trans representation. Like, in any way. As a major part of a character's story, or the opposite, they're just a trans character and it barely comes up. I want it all. I couldn't care less about it being forced, earned, or whatever other "concern" talking points there are. I just want to...www.resetera.com
I actually wondered about this just as a random thought one day and wondered how you could possibly do it in a way that's not offensive.Wouldn't picking a character they identify as already be enough? Like if you're a trans man, just pick a male character in a game? Or does every video game character have to go through a transition in order for that person to feel related to that character?
Lol. I would absolutely roast these idiots into sniveling wrecks if they had the balls to stick their head out from their basement and face the real world.We have our first casualty. Soldier died in the line of the duty.

This isn't something new and it isn't one person. That is some ridiculous hyperbole that is just causing more of a divide and more toxicity.

Oh and as a bonus, he's not white either.
Rest in Peace soldier. Your sacrifice wasn't in vain.

There’s no hashtags in reality.

When you're in the character creator and it asks gender it has a "transwoman" option and it just plays a dramatic cutscene where the male -> female variable is changed as one morphs into the other rather than instantly changing?
Then every time the character is addressed there's a note like "Excuse me miss (Maya's gender was misidentified at birth) but you dropped this."
To do it in an offensive way I would have a transition tree that you level up and your character gradually transforms into the other gender as you reach it.
Although I'm pretty sure I saw a game labeled transphobic for letting you created say, bearded ladies. Probably Saints Row or something like that.
Also transphobic? Google Chrome for not realizing when I misspell transphobic and also marking transphobic as a misspelled word.
I just imagined a Sailor Moon-style transformation where the guy's dong flashes different colors and opens up like a flower in bloom to create a vagina (or female penis; check your privilege), and I've realized that I do want to see this sort of representation in more games.
Oh god, don’t you dare ruin vaginas for me. Female penis has always been the clit and it always will be. That is a fact and you can’t #fakenews me.I just imagined a Sailor Moon-style transformation where the guy's dong flashes different colors and opens up like a flower in bloom to create a vagina (or female penis; check your privilege), and I've realized that I do want to see this sort of representation in more games.

The clit is the penis that never grew, and the taint is the vagina that never grew.
Science.
When you feel someone is making inappropriate sexual advances, it is probably a good time to stop ending you messages with kisses though. Could help the person on the other side identify you really mean it and are not playful.I don't know, that whole adding "kisses" thing seems to be becoming quite common, and not just among young women.

It’s interesting how ultra-popular watching (and laughing at) ResetEra is.
It’s not even a joke anymore — they’re literally a zoo.
A circus
A circus has self-awareness.

I myself fall into the camp of "it was over 20 years ago, whatever", but the desperation they're showing for not letting that info out in the open is...something else.
Pretty much just admitting they're normies who showed up late to the party.
Racism is not a necessary part of the internet, but it has certainly been there since the very beginning if you include snot-nosed punks who use racist slurs in online games and IRC chat.
The internet is the best place to interact with people without getting slandered for your race, your gender, your age, your education level, etc. However, most internet users are either idiots or sociopaths who deliberately give away their anonymity.
