Except you know black people have way more to fear from whites. And women have plenty of violence to fear from their male counterparts. So no, it really doesn't work on multiple levels.
MOhawk storm has the best outfits, but the worst hair.

Effectively, yes.
Lol, which one >_>
I actually try as hard as I can to mitigate the crash n' burn, because these are genuinely interesting subjects to me. It's also fun to learn from genuine discussion.
At the same time, I recognize that it's GAF, and they will trip over themselves to make any thread about a social issue devolve into madness. I accept it.
What? I'm not talking about Transhuman's post. Comparison of the problems of black people to another oppressed group where it makes sense has helped me to understand the problems of non-black oppressed groups.
Naw man. Like if you want to actually have that kind of journey towards intelligent discourse or you want to know something - don't ask a videogame forum. Unless you're just trying to gauge these guys in particular while maintaining your anonymity and whatnot.
This can't be your go-to source of information.

I guess I'm confused why you feel the need to bring this point up since it's so rarely a good comparison worth accepting and nodding about?
It's completely ironic to use it as he did, since blacks and women share a great bit of discrimination called "victim blaming."

You're right, you're right - it's just that GAF's more active. I actually got the article I posted from my school's feminist club page. No one responded to it there.
You misread Transhuman's post. He was saying that under what he thought to be the feminist list author's justification for her points, a white man that has been harassed by blacks in the past would similarly be vindicated if he prejudicially avoided them wholesale in the future, as a woman might avoid a random man at night.
edit: just misread your post. d'oh. his post still sucks, though
And terrible choice in dudes. Wolverine and Forge? Damn girl you can do better.

Sorry, it was totally unrelated - I was just thinking that I'm not against it in general.
For example, in the feminism thread, you have point number 6 on the list. I've discussed this a couple of times IRL, and so I'm familiar with it. At the same time, I can internalize it better because I think of it this way:
There are plenty of situations in which racism can seem innocuous to the privileged. It can be a small thing, like someone following you can in a store, or serving you after everyone else. But the fact is this is common for black people, even if it happened to a white person once. A black person, then, should generally be given more weight when they say something is racism. You should carefully consider what they're saying before jumping to shut them up.
In the same manner, you have women experiencing sexism. By comparing the two situations, I can better understand what the writer was getting at. It doesn't mean ignore all logic (as explained in the FAQ) - it means that within the realm of experience, they should be given more room to speak. It also doesn't make them right about everything. At the same time, I can understand the idea of giving them the room to express themselves, because I can make the comparison as a black guy.

Mohawk doesn't bother me but I'm not into her clothes that look like she just ran up into hot topic and accessorized.

funny thing is the whole Mohawk Storm look started as a joke from Paul Smith, the current X-Men artist. The writer, Chris Claremont, was having Storm undergo a radical personality change and wanted a new hair-do to match, so Paul drew a bunch of different looks, he drew a mohawk on the side just because he was bored. Claremont picked that, reasoning, "fans are gonna pissed no matter what change we make, might as well go all the way!"
that shouldnt have happened.

Jesus. Okay that's definitely went into Hot Topic and got a shirt territory. That laziness damn.
I loved it as a kid, but I was a kid. I just remember seeing the cutscene with blood and being like 'oh shit this is forreal.'
Still worth giving a try. I recall it getting incredibly difficult later on though. Now Legend of the Dragoon is a shitty rose tinted game, avoid that one.
that whole picture is fucking legit
Its old school. Starts off kinda slow. But one of the better battle systems (one of the best in it's time), GOAT soundtracks, top 5 RPG stories, and there's plenty to do.
It'll never come off my top 5 JRPG list. Game is a landmark imo

This is Storm's new look yeah?
That's better than whatever was linked earlier.
Damn shame cause he costumes up until that one was fresh to death.
