Oh. Not a big deal; it's not like you'll have to use them often, though when you take your test you might have to show you know how to turn them on. (In Ohio, at least, the examiner makes you do an "inspection" first, testing your headlights, both turn signals, your flashers, and your horn before you're allowed on the road.)

As strange as it sounds, I have immense respect for people willing to take their beliefs that far, assuming that they do not actually harm themselves or others.
"In the Star Wars prequels it worked. Plinkett is established as a cruel serial killer, who does horrible things to women (and animals) and the most horrible thing he can do to someone... is force them to watch the Star Wars prequels. The joke is that watching the prequels is worse than being tortured/mutilated/chopped up and dumped in the river. And the kidnappee eventually tricks Plinkett, escapes and later returns for vengeance, so she is not just a victim, but a proper empowered character.
In Titanic the joke is that Plinkett can't separate what is real and what is movies, and someone dies because of it.
But I must admit, I enjoy Plinkett Reviews' style of comedy. I started watching them for the jokes, I stayed for the insightful analysis."
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
"male privilege in nerd culture" comes off more as a roundabout way to affirm to oneself that "gosh, I'm intimidating to women and not the other way around!"
i think that article is right in a lot of ways but was somewhat hamstrung by the way i started rolling around and screaming everytime they used the phrase "geek culture"

It has some good points, but I think the author is overlooking something in that it wasn't just that she was a girl, it was also that she was an outsider commenting on comic books negatively. Now, the guy who talked to her is a douche who could have handled a situation in a way that didn't bring up her gender, but she did walk into a nerd sanctuary and started commenting on things negatively.

I will say that the author does have something of a point with how female villains are treated in comics...though you could easily bring up these points by talking about poor writing and pandering to the mostly male audience...I'm not sure that's "privilage" per se, but an unfortunate reality of the industry that's not going to change unless the demographic of comic book readers changes.
Although, obviously comic book companies could try to be more inclusive of females by making female characters that are more than skimpy stereo-types.

Also, I think the author accidently used his own privileges when he pointed out that he himself is a "Straight white man" which calls to attention that he might have insight be being the core comic book audience demographic.

Also, I'm going to go play Dynasty Warriors with my wife and hang out with my daughter for a bit, so please keep it civil (not a warning to anyone, just a request).

It seems like you're a little too caught up in the fact that it's a social justice-y type article to take any of the points seriously.
No, it's because I consider the whole concept of "privilege" to be a complete load of bullshit, and any animosity I have towards social justice stems directly from that
What we have as the impetus for this guy's novel-length farce here is some creep supposedly was ogling his girlfriend's knockers in a comic book shop with some very doubtful testimony that the other people in the shop were defending this behavior. Staring at a woman's boobs is not "male privilege", it's called being a fucking creep and if that really did happen, he should have been tossed out of the store
So you're going to ignore all of his points because you have a prejudice?
It's cute how you immediately default to accusing me of prejudice in regards to this but I'm quite familiar with this whole concept of "privilege" and how it's tossed around casually by people such as the one who wrote this article. If you'd like, I can go into details why I think this cornball notion is a load of bullshit starting from its 1988 origin from Peggy McIntosh's "Privilege as a Knapsack" essay on it all the way up to how it's being used today.
And don't accuse people of ignorance because the opinion they hold is contrary to yours. It really shows your age when you do.

during the time I was asleep apparently that pink-haired person and the word "caucasian" have become memes.
You think you're better just because X is a cool letter
