Game of Thrones

[perverse]

Which would be all well and good if we hadn't met and hung out on several occasions.

It's a classic argument winning tactic to deprive your opposition of their credibility before they've actually made an argument, so I can't hold it against you. I've done it many a time myself.

Well trolled, sir.

My intention was to point out that no-one was engaging the topic, just attacking me. No more than that, I'm sorry that offended you and I'm glad you did decide to respond to me.

That whole nonsense about Mad Max that was attributed to MRAs tracked back to a single blog post by a guy who wasn't even an MRA.

It was highly amusing to see the same people who lapped up delicious male tears over that were then openly boycotting Game of Thrones a few days later.

Come to think of it, it was the same 2-3 girls who had laughed long and hard about that 'scandal' who were quick to announce why they'd never be watching Game of Thrones anymore.

Are you talking about TheMarySue?

Edit: Sorry, you obviously were.

I try to save my serious debating energy for less illustrious territory than a rugby league forum's movie section.

That's what the NRL Gameday forum is for :lol:

It's clearly working out for you.

It's working well enough - I have a really good, fortunate and privileged life.

I just debate where there's debating to be had, lol. If it fits, i sits. I definitely agree with you that feminism is anything but a united front... but neither is any religion, business, government or other identifiable organisation that I can think of. Feminism isn't an institution, it's an ideal with a lot of different flavours and opinions, as you've said.

 

[firechild]

If feminism was about equity as you suggest, it wouldn't be called feminism.

 

[perverse]

It would if the default position was one of male dominance when the movement was started.

 

[bileduct]

Yes, because egalitarianism makes it too clear that equality should be for all people.

Feminism is about "equality" (newspeak) for middle and upper class white women.

It's a relief that you've arrived to tell me what I believe, bileduct. I can finally stop thinking for myself again. I wish you'd never leave.

 

[bileduct]

You're part of a cult, dumbass. You should be thankful for people like me.

[perverse]

lol, now I've heard it all. What's your definition of cult, friend?

Jesus, it's a cult epidemic. Regardless, cults in and of themselves are not an intrinsic evil. Religious cults can be dangerous... but humans exhibit cult-like behaviour on just about any given topic. It's probably better that no-one interact, ever... especially in groups or about ideas.

I wouldn't go that far. Just nazis, feminists, and otherkin for now.

 

[perverse]

Now this is getting interesting, what do you have against otherkin? :lol: Are you a reformed ex-dragon?

 

[bileduct]

No, I am a furry.
