simple enough. [View all]

not all of us want to live in the entertainment of sexism, racism and homophobia.

i mean. i really do not feel like that is a way out there statement. lots of us do not like the shit. we do not want to see, wade thru the trash of it, the smelll of it. we arent entertained.

so, with the video game issue. and another stupid ass study stating it does not make a misogynist, racist.

cool position to take. change the damn conversation and argue it.

ya. brilliant.

then bring it to du and proclaim, right..... !!!!!

whatever.

i listen to the argument. the reality is. as you tell me... simply fantasy and fun. and why not?

ya, ok..... get entertained by your rapes, murders, .... your strippin' and selling.

entertain yourself with "jokes" jabs.... at women for a chuckle. your entertainment. gotcha. i hear ya. a hoot, to you. and your right. damn straight.

not all of us want to live in the hate and the ugly. the insult, the demeaning, the humiliating, for a good laugh.

surely. that is not an extreme position.

no one in my family wants to live in the nasty hate for a laugh. we just are not that people. we like to feel good. watching people humiliated, denigrated, shamed, abused, raped and killed, doesnt do it for us.

are we really that far out there? i dunno. surely there are others like me.
