Again, this is because you are all men and can indeed chose to remain apart from it all. And you all say you don't care, however you care enough to come into the thread about the subject and explicitly say you don't give a gooseberry fool. I'd actually say you do give a gooseberry fool and that the argument in fact makes you angry or uncomfortable in some sense. Which perhaps speaks more about your own personalities than the issue at hand.

First one has to accept that a 'microaggression' has occurred. I'm afraid, in this context, I just don't; I actively resent the claim, in fact, but I am troubled at how casually such a claim can now be made - and in so doing become, somehow, a fact just by the act of making it.


Case in point: man admitting he is made uncomfortable by hearing opinions different from his own.

And Cal, it is not a fact. It is my opinion. Moggy does not agree and in my replies to him I explicitly said his view it isn't a problem is as definitive as me saying it is: ie not at all.


My own personalty is that I am not some skinny little SJW who has never been laid LMAO. Next it will be: "We need gender neutral characters!" "We need a vegan role model" etc.


This is some top class thinking here, intimidatingly so. I can't compete with this sort of high level critical analysis so he wins. Call it all off. Sexism is good.

And I appreciate the complement but I'm definitely not skinny any more.


So, how would you describe yourself?

I’ve often lamented the lack of character creation in games where the protagonist need not be white.

Pics!



To go back a few posts - "Cuck" I hate. Mainly because it's usually from some spotty pale moloid desperately trying to make themselves feel like "a real man" (even if most women wouldn't touch them with a barge pole through a shower of disinfectant) by demeaning non-virgins.
