!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Dude, you do realize that that still has nothing to do with the comment you responded to?

If you had made it as a top level comment of your own, it would make sense. Maybe that's what you intended; I know I've fucked that up many a time.

Again, my only issue is that what you said wasn't connected to the comment above it, but the content of your statements.

I thought the connection to the initial comment was made very clear. The initial comment said:

Someone is going to make a long post about how women is being portrayed as sexual objects in games and will absolutely refuse to acknowledge this post.

audaxreik's initial reaction basically just berated them for saying this, but in the most recent post audaxreik explained this hostility. Loosely speaking, the initial comment was an unprovoked strawman attack against feminism - and audaxreik wanted to push back against that.

In any case, I think the discussion here has run its course.
