  • You’re right, the OP wasn’t serious. But same as with misogynistic jokes, a lot of people could believe the Joe Rogan thing. I mean he does like carnivore diets, he puts vaccine skeptic people on his show, he took Ivermectin, and there is likely some other dumb shit he spews that would be harmful. I could easily see someone believing that he was a part of if not a big cause of male deaths in during the pandemic if you’ve not read the article.

    The examples I gave were intentionally bad to show the difference in reaction in this community. But TBH, I see now that the reaction is not as one sided as I saw in the first place. Still fucked up though.



  • It came rather easily if not even a bit eagerly to you for an argument against it.

    I don’t even know what that means.

    I was being aggressive by illustrating different situations to show that it’s unacceptable to anyone to make sexist jokes. But when it’s a sexist joke against men you don’t seem to care.

    But what the hell am I derailing? The article said that suicides and overdoses are on the rise which cause early deaths disproportionately for men. Then the commenter said some dumb shit about health choices from Joe Rogan. There is no conversation here, OP just saw a chance to shit on meatheads but chose the wrong time and place.

    And most importantly:

    and despite how youre trying to sell it

    *You’re

    So It misses the point your tying to argue it makes on so many levels.

    *You’re




  • Does this mean that I can also make jokes about the massive gaps in other situations against women?

    There are way more male than female politicians: Maybe if you stop bickering about emotional bullshit you’d be liked and voted for.

    There are way more men than women in the tech sector: I mean hey women know how to make a good dish and men know how to code a good porn site.

    There are more men holding executive positions in public companies: Listen, that’s on you if your work goes to shit for a week every month.

    I could go on but you get the idea. Is that OK?




  • Sure acheivements don’t have inherent value, but the skins do. The idea of a captured flag or whatever is how good you are at the game and the fact that you had fun doing it. Skins are the same as clothes. You don’t have to get the best, but people pay obscene amounts of money to get some bullshit they think looks good and shows off status. It’s the same here. But you don’t see people advocating for the shutting down of LV or Gucci or whatever.

    Not even the game itself has inherent value. Why would I pay $60 for a Mario game that I don’t like and it lasts like 50 hours when I can play the $20 Binding of Isaac (masterpiece) that could easily last me hundreds of hours. Other people would say the opposite.
