This pretty much sums up how I feel about most post-reddit internet movements.

I'm waiting for the day for reddit to die, but it probably has already made the internet a worse place.

not gonna lie the way nintendo has handled samus lately kinda pisses me off.

It kinda bothers me that the male suicide rate is way higher than the female and barely anything is being done.


But I don't consider myself a feminist nor a MRA. Both movements has some valid points but there are enough things I disagree with that makes me not want to label myself. Oh well, one of those topics I never discuss with people because I always feel so attacked without reason when I say I'm not a feminist. I obviously want equality, and both women/men shouldn't have to live in fear. I just disagree with how feminism brute forces themselves into places. Like the 50% male/female ratio is dumb as fuck.

I'm not certain Reddit is the cause as much as the symptom. There are a fucking lot of people online now, and most people are not particularly good.

you mean that high heels samus that was designed by a woman?

It could be designed by multi-racial-group of gay-trangendered-socially-minded-vegan-communist and it would still be shit. The only Samus the world needs in the one in the suit, dropping bombs and shooting missiles into frozen enemies.

nothing works in such a big scale. It's not like TL's system worked in those huge threads that moved a few pages a minute.

The problem is that a term like "feminism" (fuck if I know the nounal form of MRA) is extremely fucking BROAD. It's like trying to say something about Christians. You use that word, and you're covering everything from the unbelievably batshit fundies to the fucking Elder Zossima. Whenever we try to say anything about feminism you go from people who are trying to stop Indian women from getting raped by everything in sight all the way to the insane few who think that womyn are the master race and that men should be extinct. That's why I refuse to say anything about these groups or to classify myself as one of them.

And my views, for what it's worth, are egalitarian. Not radical, but just simple. Equality is good, and let's try to move towards it bit by bit.

not really. I'm talking more like when Idra or Naniwa did some dumb shit or any big SC2 drama. It's just people saying the same thing over and over again, then people getting map other people don't read a full 30 page thread.

Dota in TL was always too small for it to be a big issue.

Also let's talk for a moment about the horrible developments on Starladder. SKANKS224, that bastion of graceful naming habits, has been renamed to 224 for the duration of this game.

I would like everyone to join me in mourning this tragedy.
