Very good point - and strangely accurate to the progressive mindset.Robovski wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 7:11 amJustice is 3 people not paying for tickets to the game? Those thousands of people inside the stadium all have fine seats and can see the game because they paid. Whether those who do not pay can all see is a bit irrelevant as to the fairness of the situation as what they are doing is inherently unfair to everyone who paid and to the teams playing.

Re: Youtuber Sargon of Akkad declares his intention to run as an MEP
Tbf, I can sympathize with people who are upset with how women are represented in games. I'm not sex-negative, I'm a sex-positive Feminist, but the big problem is that in a lot of games, women don't get out past the secondary supporting roles, or how they are overly sexualized. A lot of that has to do with our societal views on gender and gender roles, tbh, and not the games themselves, but point stands, these brats are just an exaggerated version of what needs to happen naturally. Phasing out the objectification of women and replace it with something more equal. Of course, that has to come through choice and force of intellectual persuasion, not bullying.

And how do you know they don't have tickets, or that there are even tickets for admission?

That cartoon is really just a really ham-fisted excuse for supporting the idea of equality of outcome over the idea of equality of opportunity. Of course it completely glosses over the oppression inherent with that outlook.

name me a stadium that large with no admission fee. And if you have tickets you are not standing on a box behind a fence.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 7:58 am And how do you know they don't have tickets, or that there are even tickets for admission?

Really? Because only in the second picture do they have equality of opportunity.

Why are your views modern and forward looking?

Is it really? I feel like I could make a case for either one. But it seems the outcome is pretty sufficed at that point. That is, if watching the game is the opportunity.Draco Dracul wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:42 amReally? Because only in the second picture do they have equality of opportunity.
