I just had a reunion with some people I went to a camp with a while back, and one girl (pansexual, shockingly) started talking about how all words in English were masculine (instead of, you know, non-gendered). She also talked about how the LGBT movement was male dominated, because she was calling the

When your editor also doesn't know shit about video games.
I also like that RapeLay is a "popular" video game and not, you know, a niche porn game made for a foreign market that feminists made well-known by throwing a fit over it.
EDIT: Went and looked up the author of this section. According to his ratemyprofessor page it looks like he actually taught a class on a ethics and games. Also he's a crazy vegan or something.

Jesus Christ. I didn't know my book was *that* horrible. I even pointed out in my essay on the chapter what was wrong with the article and why it could be ignored. It bizarrely segues into some sort of rambling about capitalism being a new form of fascism from what I recalled.
EDIT: I should also note that this is a mistake an editor could have fixed by simply GOOGLING THE GAMES IN QUESTION.
The entire book is shit.

I remember that SJW professor I had mentioned this in class. And it is certainly funny for SJWs to chimp out over porn games.

I would never have even heard about this game if it weren't for a Something Awful review about how horrifyingly shitty it was.

Theres this woman at my University who became an editor in my university's paper. Prior to her joining the newspaper the articles were hilarious, pushed limits, and were interesting to read. On the back of every newspaper was always a one-page satire section that had a series of fake articles poking fun at everything (one article was an op-ed of a woman who wanted a man to whisper into her asshole and accidentally eating prunes and resulting in disaster). My personal favorite was when they made a map for incoming freshmen basically shitting on the campus ("Go to the art department if you feel like being judged by unemployed people").
Then this woman joined up and the quality of the paper nosedived hard.
Every week without end she would nitpick some inane aspect of campus life ("we shouldn't allow men into the feminist club because blah blah) or pop culture (the stonewall movie is problematic because it doesn't follow my exact guidelines for tokenism/diversity). The final nail in the coffin was when the newspaper without irony, dedicated an entire 3 pages on her gender and pronouns (which were fae, faes, and faeself).

Was she just given her own column in the paper to spout her own nonsense, or did she also get all the fun articles removed because they offended her?
Cause I'm cool with the former, not with the latter.

The newspaper regularly cycles through editors (with the head honcho being in charge for maybe a year at most). What I think most likely happened is that like-minded people flocked to the paper and filled it up with articles they liked, while "rejecting" articles they didn't like, hence her articles appearing over and over again. The newspaper is read a lot less lately (since broke college students can't really relate with articles about intersectionality and how holding your fist up above your head is appropriating black culture) and people are switching over to the other 2 papers on campus (the corporate run monthly paper and the daily paper ran by journalism students/department)

I just remembered something that would fit on tumblr perfectly.
So a few years ago, my dad died. I was a teenager and of course, that really fucked me up. Spent a week crying, yaddayaddayadda. Anyways, the day my Dad died, I just needed someone to talk. Couldn't talk with mom, who was crying even more, so I went on a site I used to be on every day. German Anime-type of site, pretty big back then. Basically, I wrote a journal entry like "Oh man, I can't believe my Dad died. I'm really sad since I love him a lot. RIP Dad. Anyone up to talk for a bit?", nothing big. Just a "I'd really like to have someone cheer me up" kinda thing. I was seventeen, sue me.
Anyways, ten minutes later, my journal had a comment from someone I once talked to, pretty briefly. It was something along the lines of "Uhm, it's really insensetive to say that. What about people with abusive Dads? Or people who lost their Dads when they were little? You can't just post something like that, those people might be hurt by you saying good things about your Dad! I never knew my Dad."
TL,DR, random girl basically claimed that me being sad about my Dad's death could trigger people.

That was so shitty and insensitive that it left a horrid taste in my mouth. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Please tell me you told her off.

There were two FtMs that went to high-school with me. For the most part, they didn't do anything drastically SJWy, but they did pull some pretty stupid shit. Since these are actual people that I know, I'm just going to call them Zarb and Karb.
For a little bit of background, I was decent enough friends with Zarb. We sometimes hung out during lunch and played some cards games with each other. She was a memer, but all and all, she was an alright person to be around. That is, until Karb came around. I only had a few classes with Karb and I didn't know her super well, and it was by sheer coincidence that she, Zarb, and I had Family Health (basically a health class that teaches first aid) together during our junior year. I forget how exactly Zarb and Karb became friends, but they were pretty much inseparable from each other. When they weren't doing class stuff, they were browsing Tumblr on Karb's smartphone. By the time senior year rolled around, both of them were convinced that they were transgender and started to date. They were massive attention whores. They had PDAs every chance they could have, they tried to be as showy as possible when making romantic gestures, and if you hung around them, they would remind you until kingdom come that they are a trans-homo couple. Naturally, this garnered the attention of some other tumblrina outcasts and started to hang around them non-stop, but this was just the beginning. I have three moments to share. Two with Zarb alone and Karb alone, and one with both Zarb and Karb.
Zarb never did tell anybody that she became trans, and just expected everybody who knew him to use new pronouns without having to ask him. I caught on on my own, but one of my friends asked why Zarb was wanting to be called [new name]. Unknowing of what would become of it and me not feeling comfortable enough to tell him, I told him to ask Zarb himself. So the friend did (we were all in the same class together at that time and he was directly in front of us). He said that he was FtM, but not in an explanatory way. It was in a semi-aggressive biting type of way. The way you'd tell someone that your mom died when someone makes yo' mama jokes non-stop. Fast forward to later in the day and I overhear Zarb and Karb talking to each other. They were talking about how Friend was being a colossal douchebag for "misgendering" him when he clearly didn't know that Zarb was trans.
I don't remember when exactly this happened in the year, but Karb was one of the writers for the student newspaper decided to make a headline story about correct pronoun usage. I didn't read the entire article, just skimmed through it, but the point was pretty much "If someone asks you to refer to them with a set of pronouns, you must do it no matter what. If you don't your a transphobic white cishet shitlord." In the same paper, there was an article about our school's Gay Straight Alliance written by a different person. The page that it was on had a massive picture of everyone in the GSA, and big surprise, it was Zarb, Karb, and the group of tumblrinas that I mentioned earlier. I didn't see a single man in the picture. I asked one of my gay friends about it and he said that he left because the other members didn't allow him to say anything.
At the end of the school year, a lot senior class was scrambling about to get the Most Likelys. Zarb and Karb we no exceptions. They had a giant (at least they thought it was) online rally to have people vote for them to be cutest couple. This is the time that they went in full fuck force with the PDA and their pretentiousness. They did not let up, and made sure that everyone in the school knew for a fact that they were dating and they were transgender. Eventually, the senior class had an assembly to reveal who the Most Likelys. Zarb and Karb did not win cutest couple. At some point later in the day, I hear Karb literally yelling at the class president for not making him and Karb cutest couple. He called him a tool of the "trans-queer patriarchy" and demanded that the yearbook be altered, as if he had anything to do with the voting process.
Zarb and Karb also did some other things, but they weren't noteworthy at all and I barely remember them. In more recent days, I found a post on Zarb's facebook calling his dad a privileged bigot. I can't post it because he blocked me when I called him out on it, and thus ends The Saga of Zarb and Karb.

EDIT: The post that started it :
This hysterical nut started shaming and defaming this twitter user just for making a suggestion about sports at her (i think this is how it started?) and that is of course patronizing and sexist and then justified her accusations because he dared disagree with some women on twitter. She also appears to be pro Gen Zed, for what it's worth.

So my friend just called me and told me that she's "genderfluid." When she asked how I felt about it, I decided to be honest about it, but in a polite way (I guess she noticed my knee jerk hesitation when she told me that). I told her that I feel like "genderfluid" is an identity that people who don't like traditional gender roles try to get away from yet end up enforcing said traditional roles by going "Oh boys like X and girls like Y! Oh, you're a boy/girl who likes both X and Y? You're genderfluid!" She then told me that she's been feeling this way for a long time and she's "sometimes" hates her boobs and vagina. I had my own objections to that by I kinda shut up after that.
Thing is, I really don't know what to think. If she does have some legit form of dysmorphia, then I feel bad for her, especially for kinda being a dick to her. She's always been a bit of a tomboy as well. But here's the thing. She's isolates herself and only spends time on Tumblr and her work buddies (They're nice people but I always feel like they encourage bullshit like this). She doesn't even like to spend time with me and our other friend anymore. I'm kinda wondering if she drank the Tumblr koolaid of "Oh if you're a girl who doesn't like typical girly things then you're not a girl. You're genderfluid/genderqueer!", which is a very sexist mentality to have.
I don't know. Is she really "genderfluid" and I'm being a bigoted asshole or is she just being a special snowflake?

I think the normal-as-fuck state of being dissatisfied with your own body combined with wanting to opt out of being a woman (because being a woman is really hard but it's also not very special) has combined into a desire to be something else. So, yeah, I think it's a valid concern.
Best case scenario, it's a phase and she'll come out the other side of it with a renewed sense of self having a more solid grasp on gender and gender roles, and how she fits into them.
Worst case scenario, she keeps doing this shit and isolating all her non-SJW friends until she becomes a complete crazy person.

One of my friends I knew since junior year of high school came out as otherkin last year, she was normal when I still attended high school, then became otherkin all of a sudden. She claimed to "not feel human", yet had recently gotten into tumblr around that time.
At a crucial moment in life, her graduating high school, she flushed it all down the toilet.
What's even funnier is that before she was otherkin, she had good grades and was on honor roll. After that, her grades plummeted and she graduated with a C average.
