I want to be open to changing my mind. If I am wrong, point it out. I do change my mind about many things. And if I am too harsh I try to be softer in the future.

My point was simply that video games are not a good medium for depth. That doesn't make video games any less artistic or great. Games are just a poor medium for enriching your mind. In the same way that Playboy is a poor medium for enriching your mind. Imagine if Playboy tried to make itself high-brow literature. That would be silly. I feel like Jonathan Blow is doing that with video games and I don't find it effective. Obviously that's just my opinion. You don't have to agree with me. But hey, you are welcome to run the experiment. Play one of Blow's games, watch one of my videos, and compare which one enriches your mind more. This isn't exactly a matter of faith. @Natasha Tori Maru I am unusually blunt and this turns people off because they aren't used to such a thing.

Guys, argue your points without personal attacks or insults. Just because someone has a different view on an issue doesn't make them sick or evil. We need to get beyond such kinds of dialogue.

Keep it civil, without personal attacks. If you argue your views rationally and respectfully, then there is no problem. When you communicate from a pissy place, you undermine your own points.

We have a wide range of views here and I don't like to control anyone's views. If there are views you dislike, that's diversity, that's democracy. Community naturally comes with weird views that you will dislike.

I am not going to play these games with you. I explained how the male sex drive works. Don't shoot the messenger. You are white-knighting a bit too hard. Nothing I say is against respect and kindness towards women. Treat them as you would like to be treated.

@gengar Dude, you love to take things I say and twist them into way more than it is. It is like you are hunting for things to be disgruntled about. I don't place my art above anyone. The themes of human literature are shallow and grossly overrated. Nevermind video games. A profound video game is like a profound story in a porno.

Good topic. Thanks! We need moar!

@birds_of_attar Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Happy for you

Men are not merely socialized to objectify women. This underestimates the depth of the issue. If only it were so easy! The truth is that men's sex drive objectifies women. That is the source of the socialization. You can't just blame everything on socialization because the socialization itself needs a source. Socialization is not arbitrary or whimsical. It follows physical and biological realities. The reason these lofty leftist ideologies fail is because human nature is not taken seriously. Men have an objective attitude towards sex. You will not train that out of men. Men view women as sex objects because that's how men are wired to view them. This is hard for women to understand because women aren't wired that way. This is where feminism fails. It doesn't understand the depth of the issue. It's in denial about the truth because the truth is too ugly for a liberal's precious ears.

Scientists are like hungry hyenas looking for their next meal on the savanna. Survival. Survival never changes.

I don't know a single matriarchal society. This is some liberal fantasy.

Adds a whole new level of meaning to JP's advice to "clean your room". Clean your room, or your room will eat you.

Now you know how police feel.

@Jodistrict Changing the entire economy is a huge, huge issue. It's just much harder to do than gay rights. Gay rights ultimately harms no one.
