I think his critics should go to the National Gallery and look at the Rokeby Venus by Velázquez. Or look at the stuff by Rubens. Are we saying that these glorious images should be torn from the walls?

he's playing to his core constituency in its core paper, the message is probably about rowing back a ways from David Cameron's perceived political correctness, just letting the faithful know there'll be none of this SJW shit once Boris is in charge

This is clearly political correctness gone mad -- it used to be perfectly acceptable, normal and commonplace to wear sexy lady print shirts on national television.

There must be room in our world for eccentricity, even if it offends the prudes, and room for the vague other-worldliness that often goes with genius. Dr Taylor deserves the applause of our country, and those who bash him should hang their own heads and apologise.
pro tip: he's not really talking about Taylor at the end here

It’s the hypocrisy of it all that irritates me. Here is Kim Kardashian – a heroine and idol to some members of my family – deciding to bust out all over the place, and good for her. No one seeks to engulf her in a tweetstorm of rage. But why is she held to be noble and pure, while Dr Taylor is attacked for being vulgar and tasteless?

C) Rising Tension: in addition to being a cynical faux-representative of women, Sarkeesian and her fellow travellers infiltrate and destroy the movements they attach themselves to (this is where we introduce J******* T***** and 0ccupy W4llstreet).D) Twist: the actions of these SJWs are so insanely destructive and self-defeating that it’s hard to believe that they exist… that's because they are insane.

oh so this is not "women be crazy, just like infiltrating 0ccupy-destroyer JT!" as I originally read it but actually "women be crazy, here is level-headed bullshit detector JT with the latest! J, tell us how everyone in 0ccupy except you is destroying the movement."
that's nice

breaking! davis aurini posts admiring interview with noted rabid anti-videogame campaigner and disbarred lawyer jack thompson, claims 'reporting on him has been one-sided'!
gamergaters confused as their former worst enemy speaks out against anita sarkeesian!
'If Jack Thompson was really with #GamerGate that would show just how inclusive we are'!
here's a storify following the whole sorry affair (from which i also learned that a prominent gamergater goes by @farttocontinue): https://storify.com/a_man_in_black/gamergate-supports-jack-thompson

Kind of amazing how eagerly picked-upon nerds want to imagine themselves deploying the tactics of high school bullies. And by "amazing" I guess I mean "not really surprising at all."
Unless that comic's a parody...I really can't tell.

The shield thing still makes no sense to me. If gamergaters are the ones being attacked, wouldn't the women and people of minority status they're claiming to represent be their weapon, not their shield?

i think the tortured logic might be that nefarious white male sjws are using women and people of colour as THEIR shields by claiming to be offended by shitty representations of women and people of colour in videogames, when actually guys some of them love that stuff honest

to these people racism and sexism don't actually exist, they're just "-isms" to deflect "criticism"so naturally any non-minority SJW is just using all minorities are a "shield" to "stifle" "criticism" when they point out the painfully obvious sexism and racism in video gamessorry i'm out of scare quotes

I think it's more like using *women* as a *shield* for *feminazis* or whatever -- man, it really doesn't make sense

claims of racism aren't valid criticisms, though. those are just sjw issues.

on the other hand, even if that Borderlands game is fun, we can criticize the dialogue that mocks neckbeards, because it detracts from the game. however, sexism can't be criticized, as it does not detract from the game.
