Mod replies,

I'm trying to decide if this comment is supportive or just bad grammar and spelling ( Read more... )

Friend-of-friend:
TS3 should be good but why the boycott on TLA?

Me:Short answer? Racism. Long answer-- they took a fantastic, sensitive, well-made cartoon that was respectful and loving of its roots in east Asian mythology, martial arts, and languages, cast the (Inuit and Tibetan-parallel) main characters as white kids, cast the (Chinese- ( Read more... )

Is it just me, or is it not very feminist to blame any choices a woman makes that you disagree with on a man, or men in general?

BUT I WASN'T!

Joy to Wiki, keeping me up-to-date on humanity's insanity.

... WTF. Hokay, I can understand the leap of logic of "A gamer commited a violent crime! The games are at fault!" But I can't follow "A neo-nazi commited a random crime with a weapon described by his favorite rap band! The games that there is no evidence of him owning or playing are at ( Read more... )

One of my favorite forums-- between the six or so people that post, we might make two "active" posters combined-- got a new member. The forum's modded by the nice Canadian lady who created TONFA, if that means anything. It's a generally smart little group-- most of us can spell well.
