"‘Watch out if known/reputable news sites are not also reporting on the story"
But that's the problem. All the MSM were reporting things like that Trump was losing the election, and Clinton was moving to Victory, Victory, Victory!
Which means we lose faith in them.
Just as we did when the Elliot Rodgers story broke and the MSM blamed men's rights activists and even GamerGate for his actions. They copied and pasted false information, and refused to acknowledge as they drifted - knowingly - into full on propaganda.
I spoke to a journalist called John Birmingham. He knew what the facts were. He just didn't CARE.
Zimdars to decide what YOU will be allowed to see.
The MSM no longer prints facts, it prints propaganda, which is why their sales are plummeting and people are turning elsewhere. Would it be nice to have some objective body tell us who is factual?
Certainly.
Is Zimdars someone who can be trusted? No evidence has been provided, we have just been told to trust her; but the fact that Buzzfeed-style webpages are not included makes it clear to me she has an agenda, and she wants only her side to be heard, and others to be silenced.

And there it is.
She's interested in teaching SocJus, and wants antifeminist websites censored through this back door.
Feminist: You wouldn’t believe how much men are oppressing me right now. Men are just constantly telling me how fucking gorgeous I am. It's making me sick.
Driver: (*silent, face twitches as he watches the road*)
Feminist: (*louder*) I sayyyy, it's making me sick!
Driver: (*quietly*) My son has cancer.
Feminist: Did you not hear me? Were you not listening to a strong woman of colour when she is speaking to you?
Driver: (*looks in mirror*)(*sees a pale young white woman dressed in the clothes his wife will never be able to afford*)
Feminist: Hello! Are you not respond-ding? That’s domestic violence, you know, I should have you reported. And what is that on your dashboard?
Driver: It’s a toy... it reminds me of going on holiday. I don’t get many holidays.
Feminist: I don’t like it, ugh! Get rid of it.
Driver: It was a gift from my wife.
Feminist: It’s oppressing the continent of Hawaii, which you would know if you had bothered to educate yourself.
Driver: I’m not going to get rid of it. Just don’t look at it if you don’t like it.
Feminist: Helloooo, don’t you know who I am? I am the leader of a super-secret cell of Feminists, and we are going to smash the Patriarchy, and if you piss me off, we are starting with you. I can get you fired, just like that. Or I can call the police. Do you want me to call the police? I can call them!
Driver: I’m not getting rid of it. I’m going to drop you off.
Feminist: I AM GOING TO RUIN YOU. You will be made into a meme! Everyone will laugh at you and your stupid son who supposedly has can-cerrr! More like brain cancer for being born with a dick, hahaha! Now fucking take me to my destin-nation!
Driver: Get out of my car.
Feminist: No! I want you to drive me like you are supposed to! Drive me, stupid fucking man!
Driver: Get out!
Feminist: How dare you oppress me?!! This store-reee will be on all websites, and you'll be sorry!
(Driver speeds off, leaving her in the dust)
Feminist: Fucking scum. Fucking incest-loving rape-apologist scum! Hello, Gawker? You'll never believe how much I was oppressed! (*garbled reply*) Yeah, let's rape the fucker!
I support her villainy and misandry I support her emotional trauma I support her hatred and rage I support her finally being able to express these emotions I support her uplifting downtrodden women I support her awakening the anger of other sex workers I support her showing these women how to inflict harm on their abusers I do not support the obsession of Victor, compliance of Jekyll, and betrayal of Dorian in trying to make her a “proper woman”
“ I support her villainy and misandry”
If someone bathes in blood, it's usually a hint that they might be a bit evil...
If they have orgies in the stuff, it's the writer using a megaphone in case you just fucking don't get it.
It’s good to see feminists out and proud about their misandry.
But oh - so brave of you to admit you love villainy.
Come out of the closet and expose your true nature to the light - unless that will mean you will shrivel like salted slugs?
“ I support her emotional trauma”
And the fact she murders men - thus causing emotional trauma not just to them but to every friend or family member or just the person who relied on them for their community to work? No?
“ I support her hatred and rage”
Which is directed at people who have done nothing to deserve any of it - she never actually attacks the people who abused her.
Was Hitler a Social Justice Warrior? He, too, supported hating people because they had a characteristic in common with those he felt had injured him. He wasn’t full of hatred to men - or women - per se, however, so they’d probably expel him as being some sort of pansy.
“ I support her finally being able to express these emotions”
Pity she only managed it after murdering an innocent and training a gang of psychopaths in terrorism. Oops!
“I support her uplifting downtrodden women"
Which she is going to do by killing their husbands, their fathers and their sons? Yeah, that’ll work out well. Even if she somehow succeeded in this lunacy, she’d just make humanity extinct. And I bet all those women would just love not having anyone to support them when they got old.
“ I support her awakening the anger of other sex workers"
Who, because the writer/s are feminists, are imagined as universally victims, and not just people working in hard conditions.
Like the men were. And the boys were. Life was tough. Teaching people to murder people who haven’t harmed them doesn’t make it easier.
Not exactly subtle about her plans. Not exactly hiding her nature.
Watching a TV series with SocJus is like watching a documentary of the Holocaust with a Nazi.
They keep cheering at all the wrong moments.
It doesn’t do much good to the people murdered by your fucking ‘Social Justice’ either.
“ I do not support the obsession of Victor, compliance of Jekyll, and betrayal of Dorian in trying to make her a proper woman”
Neither do I, it’s really bad writing.
He might as well have donned a fedora and started yelling “go home, gamer girl”.
He’s completely out of character, but he’s just a Strawman, a representative of the mythical Patriarchy, and he no longer speaks like Victor Frankenstein.
Congratulations, SocJus. You managed to fuck up Victorian era drama by being unable to drop 21st century gender politics even for half an hour.
Me, I’d just put a bullet in her brain. But if a lobotomy could work - why not? I’m sure it’s better than allowing a genocidal maniac free rein.
Of course, it won’t work because it’s Penny Dreadful, and Victor will always fail, because raisins.
Not strictly relevant, but it made me laugh myself silly.

"Milo Yiannopoulos is not a conservative. Milo Yiannopoulos is a neo-Nazi."
Of course!
A gay Neo-Nazi!
That makes perfect sense!
“ I’m not exaggerating.”
No, you are outright slandering. There’s a difference. “ proudly carries Hitler books”... you realise a lot of people have books on Hitler? It’s pretty much compulsory for any student of modern history? Books and movies on Hitler are one of the most popular parts of popular culture?
Your idea that anyone who has a book on Hitler must love Hitler means that you think Winston Churchill was a Nazi - as he owned a copy of Mein Kampf. Oh, lemme guess, you have no idea what that is.
“All was there—the programme of German resurrection, the technique of party propaganda; the plan for combating Marxism; the concept of a National-Socialist State; the rightful position of Germany at the summit ofthe world. Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.” (source)
“Although eugenics flourished in Nazi Germany, the ideal of a blond-haired, blue-eyed master race wasn’t Adolf Hitler’s. It may surprise many to know that, in Mein Kampf, Hitler credited America with helping formulate his ideas on eugenics, and he admitted he’d studied the laws of US states to familiarize himself with selective reproduction and other eugenics issues.” (source)
Does it have a Swastika? No. It is sort of edgy? Yes.
The Volkswagen was produced by the Nazis.
Here we see one of it's prominent members, off to annex the Sudetenland
"The Black Cross emblem has become in a number of Anglo-Saxon (British and American) subcultures since the 1960s, in a phenomenon related to the mock-"Germanic" aesthetics also expressed in the use of blackletter or the so-called Metal umlaut.
In the 1960s, American surfers started wearing Iron Cross medals brought home by their fathers as war trophies. Cal Look, Volksrod and other Volkswagen enthusiasts often use the emblem as a symbol that reflects the car's country of origin. Ed Roth created accessories for surfers, hot rodders and bikers derived from German World War II trophies, which included the Surfer's cross and the Stahlhelm (also popular with the VW scene).
Motörhead introduced its Snaggletooth mascot, featuring an Iron Cross, in 1977; lead singer and bassist Lemmy could be seen wearing an Iron Cross live, and often in interviews as he owned a very large collection of German memorabilia. There is an American hardcore band called Iron Cross (1982). Roy Orbison has been filmed wearing an Iron Cross necklace while performing.[year needed]Metallica lead singer and guitarist James Hetfield has an Iron Cross tattooed on his left elbow,[year needed] and has a custom version of the ESP Eclipse (based on the Gibson Les Paul) with the Iron Cross emblazoned on it;[year needed] this version is known as the "ESP JH-6 Iron Cross".
Mortuus, the singer of the Swedish black metal band Marduk, was seen wearing an Iron Cross on a choker chain.[year needed]The Cult incorporated Iron Cross medals and imagery extensively for their Electric (1987) and Sonic Temple (1989) albums. WWE wrestler Triple H (Paul Levesque) has made a variation of the Iron Cross his logo since the early part of the 2000s; the symbol appears six times on his wrestling attire (front and back of trunks, on both elbow pads and on the sides of his boots)”
Goddamn! Look at all those neo-nazis! Maybe it’s that young people just like to stir up shit?
Ermahgerd! It’s Santa!!!
When I was young, we had punks roaming around with all sorts of military symbols, communist symbols and nazi symbols. They didn’t believe in any of it - they did it to push buttons, and it worked.
“ When called on this, he’ll claim to be Jewish. But he’s not. He was raised Catholic. “
You don’t seem to understand what the word “Jewish” means, idiot. According to Rabbinic Judaism, a Jew is anyone who was either born of a Jewish mother or who converted to Judaism in accordance with Jewish Law.
Jesus Christ, this is some lazy-ass bullshit. The Nazis killed lots of people who were Catholic, because Judaism is an ethnicity as well as a religious identity - and Neo-Nazis believe Judaism is a genetic pollution, so it doesn’t matter if you are raised a Catholic or Protestant or Atheist, you are still tainted.
You have presented absolutely no evidence that he is lying about being Jewish. Or that he even said he was, for that matter.
So what other evidence have you presented? A joke about the Holocaust - you know, that event Neo-Nazis say never happened, and even if it did, it wasn’t with Hitler’s knowledge?
You don’t know shit about Neo-Nazis, do you? Couldn’t be fucked checking any of this.
“ His beliefs are very much in line with those of the Nazis “
Citation needed. They weren’t big on men sucking dicks. Can’t see them defending free speech either.
“ He’s immensely racist”, as demonstrated by the way he can’t stop fucking black men.
“sexist”
Oh, you mean anti-Feminist? Yes, yes he is. But discriminating on the grounds of sex? You can’t prove that, fucker, you just assert it and your idiotic sheep will bleat “Listen and Believe!” in reply. “ transphobic”
You don’t suggest people need therapy if you hate them, you treat them with violence. The idea that gender dysphoria is a mental disorder is in fact the consensus. It’s not a fucking lifestyle choice - if you think you are trans, but you don’t have dysphoria, then you are a SocJus wanker desperate for attention - and you aren’t special, except as a waste of everyone’s time.
(CNSNews.com) -- Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.
“The overall mortality for sex-reassigned persons was higher during follow-up (aHR 2.8; 95% CI 1.8–4.3) than for controls of the same birth sex, particularly death from suicide (aHR 19.1; 95% CI 5.8–62.9).
Sex-reassigned persons also had an increased risk for suicide attempts (aHR 4.9; 95% CI 2.9–8.5) and psychiatric inpatient care (aHR 2.8; 95% CI 2.0–3.9). Comparisons with controls matched on reassigned sex yielded similar results. Female-to-males, but not male-to-females, had a higher risk for criminal convictions than their respective birth sex controls. “
He posts images of himself with men doing things straight guys don’t fucking do.
Do you really think Neo-Nazis like to cuddle like this?
Y’know what? I’m done with this shitpiece. And normally I’d disdain Wikipedia as being strongly corrupted by SocJus - but even they don’t have this shit. Instead, they have a ton of references anyone can check up to see the truth - and to see what fucking awful people are attracted to the Social Justice label.
You know what? It’s Social Justice that are the true Neo-Nazis of our time. They burn books, physically attack people who are simply speaking things they don’t like, and constantly belittle people on the grounds of their race, their sexual orientation and their skin colour.
“It’s 2016 and I would expect all students should be able to wear pants if they like,” he told 3AW.
For one thing, the it's [current year] argument is meaningless. You could justify anything by just saying the current year. "It's 1941! Of course we are exterminating the Jews! Don't you know it's 1941?"
The other thing that worries me is that this is a religious school, not a secular one, and while i wish all schools were secular - in fact i wish religions didn't exist, I also have to defend people's right to religion. If the State imposes rules upon religions, it has to have a really good reason.
Yet we keep seeing religious rights stripped from Christians - and yet the same are granted to Islamic schools. I can't imagine such a school being forced to tolerate schoolgirls in the outfits most girls wear.
I also have to wonder - why bother going to a religious school if you don't share their faith?
What's the point?
Pagan Pope 2016. Accept this, or you are racist sexist misogyny.
It's not like she couldn't be catholic and go to a secular school, lots of people manage that. Was it that she wanted to control the school, re-write the religion?
And where do you go from there?
Will it be decided that the next Pope must be a gay transexual pagan? It's discrimination otherwise! #PaganPope! It's Current Year, after all.
After listen to TJ talking on Twitter, I have decided I am not a libertarian. I don't think universities should deliberately teach untruths, especially when one of those is that a group of people is dangerous and should be exterminated.
I don't think it's the free market, because they are tax payer funded in a huge number of ways - universities have had special treatment from the governments for a century at least, on the grounds that they produce good citizens.
That's the basis of publicly funded education in the first place.
I'm sympathetic to libertarianism - but I remain a social democrat. A leftie, a liberal in the old sense of the word. And I think I'm in pretty good company.
This goes into depth but if you have seen the one above and are already aware of what SocJus is, you can skip it.
Janice is very thorough and a little dry, so grab a cup of teas and some biccies. I always get the feeling I should be taking notes, she really should be teaching this stuff as an academic course.
Personal Note:
One of the great tragedies of my own life is not being able to finish university, to finally complete a degree.
I've listened to lectures on Political Science, read essays on Medieval History, and texts on such obscure subjects as the history of drug laws, and when a relative of mine was attending university and doing politics, I was thrilled that she would have the chance that I did not.
Unfortunately, what I discovered was that all of the Political Science courses were now just re-badged Gender Studies, meaning her degree was worthless, and that all it would do is teach her to be a professional victim, surviving only on subsidies, creating nothing1.
So I have signed that petition, and I hope it at least creates some interest in the upper regions of society, some faint curiosity, as to what has changed, and whether that change is desirable.
And if it's time to change back to academic rigour and the pursuit of objectivity.
I think it is.
Do you?
1Whereas I live off a disability pension and create... settlements in Fallout 4. Yes, i know, but i'll wave the cripple pass and say that at least I did have a reasonable working life for a while there
I've played lots of games with gay and bisexual characters, and I routinely play a lesbian character in Fallout 4.
Do what you want to do, be what you want to be. I care not.
But oh! This is just painful.
The trans character introduces themselves as a Speshul Snowflake right from the bat with the bit about their name which is completely jarring and pretentious and honestly reminds me of "My Immortal".
It doesn't make sense to be trans in that world anyway since the definition is that you experience gender dysphoria - and since that world has heaps of sex-swapping magic, it's a non-issue.
The game universe is full of these things. Completely safe, no injections, no surgery, completely reversible. People would be doing it on their weekends.
It's like playing a character in a world where everyone can regrow limbs, but you lost a leg one day and so limp everywhere afterwards crying for special treatment. Stop whining and grow that bloody leg!
Deadpool gets where I'm coming from.
It would actually have been interesting if all they had said was that they wanted to change sex and would pay for a magic item to accomplish it. Players will automatically go for that - but it wasn't the sex swap that was important but the preaching from a pedestal that the author wanted to do instead.
And Minsc throwing dung at computer gamers?
Minsc is famous for being a noble, kind, somewhat thick-headed warrior. All of that character was sacrificed for the sake of SocJus.
Really?
Is that how you sell games, Beamdog?
How do the investors feel about losing dividends because the game decided to go off onto political rants rather than being fun?
Imagine if Beamdog had decided to spend their investment on supporting Clinton or Trump.
Imagine if the characters were saying slogans and slagging the people who voted differently.
Would that be well received? Of course not.
Ok, it would be - if it was done like this.
Yet here they decide to turn this beloved computer game franchise into a propaganda outlet.
Stuff that!
Feminists hate fun.
That's not hyperbole, it's an accurate statement of their beliefs, and is often repeated by them.
"What members of the dominant class and culture call "political correctness" are simply demands for respect and common decency towards the less powerful. Humor only works between peers: otherwise is simply an exercise in dominance"
Only in totalitarian states does your rule apply, which is why it must be inviting to you - you want to sit in Stalin's chair, deciding who is allowed to laugh.
How Baldur's Gate's Minsc became a bland SocJus mouthpiece, and how to alienate your audience in three easy lessons.
What is it about this game that makes people excited about it twenty years later?
This is an important article about the controversy of a new Social Justice Expansion to a popular classic, a computer game called Baldur's Gate.
It attempts to be fair to both sides, although in my opinion that's like having a panel between a Jew and a Nazi, where the moderator decides the best solution has to be somewhere in the middle - only kill half the Jews.
SocJus has such political power now that simply disagreeing with comments like this can get you a visit from the Thought Police - I mean, the Glasgow and Ontario Police Force.
Definition - What does Role-Playing Game (RPG) mean?
You don't know it, but you already know how to play a role playing game. Chances are that.. you've played one before.
..it might have been "playing army" or "trip to Mars", but more often than not it was "Cowboys and Indians". (source)
Alignment
Alignments are often used as a short-hand guide to a personality, as well as an effort to force people to play in the spirit of things.
Roleplaying lets you play as a hero...
(Hamlet, by Flickr user, placbo, CC)
Or a villain!
Real tabletop gamers reflect on SocJus propaganda pieces.
(skip to about 24 minutes in for the roleplaying stuff)
The D&D Alignment system:
is complicated and controversial, but the summary of it is that there is a clash of good and evil, as well as Law and Chaos - adapted from Michael Moorcock's Elric Of Melniboné series.
The lawful/chaotic part is mostly there to help individualise people - Robin Hood steals from the rich, which is unlawful, but he gives to the poor, which is good.
A Paladin - a holy warrior - traditionally was always Lawful Good, and an extreme example to boot, so only very exceptional circumstances would make them steal from anyone, and they might well come to blows over such a difference in philosophical outlook.
Alignments as applied to Comics:
Good people can fight - even to the death - over whether obedience to the law is more important than individual freedoms.
Villains need no excuse for conflict, and while examples of cooperation exist, treachery is a part of the ethos. The Lawful Evil types might keep to the letter of their agreements whilst betraying the spirit of them.
Some of the less evil villains have great success with co-operation - Captain Cold, leader of The Rogues has even wandered over into morally gray areas, and helped heroes on occasion.
Other villains are utterly predictable in their unpredictability - The Joker will betray you as a matter of principle, and his violent relationship with Harley was, in a way, a betrayal of his own ideals - leaving her alive, even caring about her to some extent.
The Moral Panics
There's always something to blame.
Some fearful threat - the strange is the enemy! (source)
It might be something like music (for the Nazis, it was Jazz (source))
Computer games were targetted when they became popular, with the claim that playing them would turn people into serial killers and rapists.
A Short History of Game Panics describes the way computer games followed the tradition of fear - New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia sent his gendarmes to seize the city's pinball machines in 1942, because they were causing rape, misogyny, and jay-walking .. or something...
For the Christians of the 1980s, including the ones running my supposedly secular High School, the fear of Rock & Roll, and Heavy Metal, had a new target:
Sadly, "mind bondage" spells weren't actually in the game - do they really think role-players would have a reputation as celibate nerds if we could use that?
Dungeons and Dragons!*
*does not contain real dragons, dungeons sold separately.
We've been looking at this whole spectacle the wrong way.
Sure, it seems stupid for there to be a transsexual in a universe with sex changing magic and potions. Sure it's incredibly unrealistic that a trans person would immediately announce their sexual identity to you in public.
But think about it, what is the one thing that SJW's, third wave feminists and their minions love more than anything? Attention.
We see it all the time on tumblr "Oh I'm a quasisexual cat kin look at me" "I'm a pangendered basking shark I'm special" They anounce these crazy things that they are to get attention. And, unintentionally, that's what the transgendered character in baldurs gate has done, in a universe where it's easy to change sex, they have to be special and not change their sex, they are basically the Baldurs gate equivalent of the tumblr feminist telling everyone that they are some silly thing that no one would be naturally.
Therefore, when you look at the character in this light, it makes perfect sense that they announce their sexual identity immediately.
What the writers of the expansion have done is unintentionally make a negative commentary about the tumblr made up identity crowd.
