Sweden Considers Implementing 'Sexist' Label on Video Games

[warpus]

uhh no this is wrong, his and hers is still there, what's added is the word "hen", which is gender neutral, which is used when you do not know the persons gender, instead of saying his/hers. This is something that other languages already have

I see, that's a lot more sensible than what I heard elsewhere.. which was pretty much sort of insane.

My apologies to call you potentially insane. I just call em as I see em!

 

[Snorrius]

I'm not sure exactly where the country is headed. On the surface it seems like gender equality initiatives can be worthy of our praise, but some of it seems way over the top. I haven't really figured out if they're insane over there or super awesome or something in between.

They are just a bit more progressive than others. But you are right - progressivism is madness.

 

[warpus]

Progressivism is a broad philosophy based on the Idea of Progress, which asserts that advancement in science, technology, economic development, and social organization are vital to improve the human condition.

Yeah, sounds horrible.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Is it not much better to enjoy hunting peasants with the modern weapons we have now?

 

[Snorrius]

Yeah, sounds horrible.

It is not as much claims of progressivists are horrible but results. Revolutions in XX century was made in the name of "progress", Stalin, Hitler, Mao, feminists of all sort, social justice warriors -- everyone were doing in the name of progress. Crazy bloggers who are bashing spacecraft scientist for impeding "progress" by his T-shirt - also do this for "progress". De-colonization which threw African continent into chaos and misery - was done for the sake of "progress" too. Ridiculous idea of "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité ou la mort" was also done because of progress (well, "La Mort", I admit, is the thing progressives do very well).

This is one thing what they say, another what they do.

Yeah, but also people in sexy t-shirts launched space-ships to comets in the name of progress, so it is not all bad.

lolol feminists compared to mass murdering dictators, truly the opponents of feminism always give the best reasons to support it

Feminists themselves said gamergate is "worse than ISIS". Both sides of this debate seem keen on mudslinging.

 

[Traitorfish]

Feminists said that. All of them, collectively. The Intergalactic Feminist Directorate, representing all feminists everywhere, throughout time and space, said Gamergate is worse than Isis. That's what they said. That's what feminists said.

 

[bhsup]

Sorry, TF, but that is indeed the case. I have proof for you.

 

[Traitorfish]

Blast, that Milliband is always one step ahead!"

 

[JollyRoger]

Trillions of unconceived babies have been killed by Gamergaters during the course of the debate - worse than ISIS by a long shot.

Is it okay if I quote this next time someone on here makes some sweeping statement about people who use the gamergate hashtag or MRAs? It's quite a nice little comeback, would be a shame to see it go to waste.

"How many MRAs does it take to change a lightbulb?"

"Who's there?"

"Uh, no, I'm not telling a knock-knock joke."

"Yeah, but, did you know that knock-knock jokes also happen sometimes?"

 

[Manfred Belheim]

I look forward to you contributing some actual thoughts at some point.

 

[JollyRoger]

You first.

Spoiler :

One to screw in the lightbulb until it breaks and a thousand to blame the light bulb for sending mixed signals and asking for it anyway because of that skimpy dollar store packaging it came in.

 

[BvBPL]

This is about ethics in lightbulbs!

Held by the standards by someone that thinks those that compare feminism itself to mass murderers:

lolol feminists compared to mass murdering dictators, truly the opponents of feminism always give the best reasons to support it

So if you're going to say "hahahaha the anti-feminism people compared feminism to mass murdering dictators"

I'm saying "hahaha the pro-feminism people compared gamergate to ISIS."

 

[BvBPL]

So you recognized the flaws in adopting that strategy, but did so anyway.

Great.
