And you'd think he'd understand by now that his antics aren't anywhere near the word "hilarious". Dear God....

How often have you been told not to use image macros like that ? Why do you keep ignoring that ? It hasn't been funny for over a decade.

Many women have courageously spoken out about how they experience alienation and harassment in gaming. Despite this fact, too many male gamers still dismiss the issue as "no big deal" and insist that there isn’t really a problem. One of the luxuries of being a member of a privileged group is that the benefits afforded often remain invisible. This blindness allows many men, even well meaning men, to remain blissfully unaware of what roughly half of all gamers experience on a fairly regular basis. With that in mind the following is a checklist of some of the concrete benefits that male gamers automatically receive simply for being male gamers.

LOL I can say with strong certainty that by finding this video hilarious I perpetuate my gender as sexist pigs!

Not so much, it is the why you find it funny that might be the perpetuation.

Sadly, many people have their cause and forget to understand that there's more than two parties in the stance. People are too busy trying to make a point that they forget that people are hurting, and if their ulterior motive is to inflict pain, they forget to think that maybe their motives will inflict the most pain on the group they are supposed to work for.

However, this might be just capitalism trying to capitalize on a cause. A clothing manufacturer was contracted to make these shirts, and they wanted to get the most money out of it, plain and simple.

"This is the argument we hear every time violence against women is mentioned," she said, when asked about the game's predominantly male on male violence. "Even on White Ribbon Day, there are cries of 'But it happens to men, too'.

"In this case, the male gamers are saying they don't mind violence against themselves in this game. Implicit in this is the recognition that if men don't mind, then women have to put up with it. This is hardly a gender-neutral argument. Implicit in it is the very misogyny we are rallying against."
Nice. They're not fighting because they're discriminated against or victimized, no. They're fighting because they're treated the same as men, and they want to be treated better. Who cares if men get the shit beaten out of them, women should have it better.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.
