/baw/ - General Discussion

What's your take on the entire GamerGate situation? It's really gotten out of hand quickly and a lot of dissent could be quelled if moot just answered a few questions/it was contained to 1 thread on /v/ or /pol/ with a 'no dox' rule.

Seriously, /v/ has always been shit as has been /pol/, but the shitposting is reaching unreal proportions.

It's basically the same fucking thing as the radical parts of tumblr, except on the right side of the political spectrum. Emotionally unstable and vulnerable people getting lured in by a sense of belonging and unity, who then just end up magnifying each others fears and weaknesses to drag each other in a neverending downspiral of paranoia and persecution complexes, painting anyone as malevolent enemy who doesn't share their twisted and radicalized views.

Woops, I thought this was the "Speak your mind" thread. Don't mind me. I'm not the janitor. Sorry.

So are we still fighting? Is this a fight worth continuing?

it's probably over, calling your representative and telling them you support classifying isps common carriers is the most you can really do, and who knows if they will even vote according to their constituency

Oh lord this image is going to be awkward now.

>>393176
Because the image is heavily reminiscent of what people expect the moment a person hangs themself.

I win most everything, because I don't take on challenges that I think I might lose.

In kindergarten I won a coloring contest. I got a coffee cup and some crayons.

When the little annual fair near my house wasn't just a bingo hall with a dirty inflatable slide, I'd make a point of winning a knife and a bottle of soda each year in the ring toss games. Got pretty good at it, too.

No, yeah the bullshit is obvious. They sprinkle it with spots of truth so its not that far-fetched but I do know there's stuff here (and the other image) that's actually real.

...Hint: Its the stuff that sounds less outrageous.

In order to convince your mom that you're not gay you need to say
>"I don't care if you think I'm gay. The only people whose opinion matter on that subject are my own and any person I'm currently fu.... leave that last part out... "
That's the advice? I couldn't say that to her!

>>393099
Then just tell her that while you appreciate her concern, your sex life is your own business.

>>393087
I wasn't the same person, and didn't even know I was even replying to the guy who was originally asking for advice.

The UK made drawn images part of their child porn laws over a decade ago. Good ol' nanny state. They tried to do that here in the states, and some states do have it on the book, but the federal attempt was struck down by the SC.

BOO!

That's creepy. My mom told me that when my grandpa died (at 90, I was about 3 years old) a few days later I was standing in the corridor saying "Opa come!" "Opa come!" and pointing in a direction. My mom who's semi-religious quickly prayed that she appreciated grandpa saying his goodbyes but please leaver her alone. Age 3, weird...

I thought we all agreed this is what heaven looks like: //youtube.com/watch?v=QmZYIyySxPE
They had me at "...latest vidya games."

Oh I'm not a Ohio-anon. I just find the whole thing funny as all get out.

I can't believe 1/7th of the Wold population are going to watch a bunch of guys kick a ball around on Sunday.

I would normally bait this out and ask what you do for fun then explain that other people would likely find that boring, but I'm just going to skip all that and call you stupid.

Especially for posting it in the sports thread of all places. Is this bait? Because it's not very good bait. And I don't even watch soccer.
