The origianl games revolved around martial sports; javelin, wrestling, archery, etc. Then came shooting, pentathlon, biathlon etc. So limit it to the games actually used in warfare such as drone strikes, gunship strafing, and the perennial favorite thermo-nuclear war. Though the last one would actually be pretty boring. The players would have to do nothing to compete.
How does this differ from:
"Dear Customer:
We are now charging a small monthly fee for the use of your utilities. It will be due in 30 days otherwise your heat and hot water will be turned off and your air conditioning will no longer function.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Your utility company."
In the US it would require a Constitutional Amendment to remove them completely.
The only ones who deserve it are actual combat veterans. Filling out paperwork to order toilet paper does not count.
And Beorn, the most interesting and mysterious character in "The Hobbit" much like Tom Bombadil in FOTR, was never developed. Or how Gandalf used trickery and mind games to get Beorn to accept dwarves. Now that would have been interesting. The eagles could have also been explored as a race and characters. Instead we get an elf and dwarf falling in love. WTF? And an escape scene that looked like a Disney ride or an abomination out of the "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Most of the men never saw a shot fired in anger. For every JFK there were several Richard Nixon REMFs sitting at a base playing poker.
I doubt it was in the Sears & Roebuck catalog.
In it's prime, the catalog had EVERYTHING.
And IIRC up till the 80's they had a "special request order" thing where you could request something not in their catalog and they'd try to get it for you.
Obviously he gave some shit, or he wouldn't have responded. Obviously he gave some shit or he wouldn't have even came close with "Sarkesian".
And I'll add dumbshit sockpuppet to your title too because it fits.
Of whom?
Oh really? RHEL? They've favored RH based distros in the past.
How so? I do not see a causal link.
Duh, turn up the temperature. Or do you not know the difference between the temp going up and down?
Their goal is to turn all gamers into feminists, and impede any gaming that isn't conforming to the dogma By force, if necessary.
Whose goal? And where did you get such an idea? No one is saying that they should stop making CoD or LoL or whatever it is you play.
No ones stopping you from enjoying your games. Why do you think you are being stopped?
we live in a society with "rules and social niceties".
Some people might be aspiea or sociopaths or psychopaths or just be self-absorbed selfish jerks. They might feel those rules are wrong or don't apply to them
But they still do, and people will expect them to follow them.
You can make jokes.... but that doesn't mean there won't be social consequences. You tell racist jokes, you might find people not wanting to hang around with you. You tell a rape joke and people who have been raped or who know those who have. (I know people who have been raped)....will show their displeasure.
Simply put, control your jerkass behavior.
However, if one day I fire up Civilization or Diablo and find that I'm required to attend some form of "sexual harassment" training before I'm allowed to play a round or two, and IF (big if) I learn that it's only because of my assigned gender at birth and those who have the legal status of female aren't required to take sexual harassment training,
Come on, you know that's not going to happen.
Another trigger would be if I log on to Star Citizen (assuming they ever release the female avatar they promised) and I find that I am unable to select a female avatar and I am forced to use a male avatar because of my assigned gender at birth.
That's not going to happen either.
But who cares... look at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, the attacks on TFYC, the continued transphobia of feminism.
The 70's rad/separatist feminists, are not all feminists. There's plenty of trans friendly feminists, I know, I'm transgendered myself.
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. -- James F. Byrnes
