Yep, and the gender roles are stupid. According to them, being a "real man" means being a dumb sports jock with big muscles and piles of money and lots of hot women in bikinis which are essentially devalued. What I'm trying to say is, it's stupid and people should accept that some people don't want sex (I mean, for the sexual peeps involved it even means less competition for hot people) Link to post Share on other sites

When I first heard about the game, I also thought they were talking about the span of time known as a fortnight. The game literally has nothing to do with the span of time, which irritates me.

Duke Memphis Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 No, but you can build forts with wood, stone, and metal. Most of the time, though, you run from a storm that closes in on you as you avoid being killed by everyone else on the island. If the claim was that Fortnite led to paranoia, there would be actual reasoning behind it. Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously haven't met many serious anti-vaxxers. If you've met anti-vaxxers who only don't vax because they took the advice of a celebrity then they're just as bad as the masses who vaccinate without questioning what they're actually doing. Most of the population are sheep and it's sad when anti-vaxxers are on the side of the sheep, though I've never actually met any like that (and I've met a lot of anti-vaxxers, including most of my healthcare professionals through my pregnancies/early childhood raising years. People would be surprised at how many medical professionals don't vax their own kids due to having seen just how bad the side-effects can be, they're just not allowed to say that publicly or they'll lose their jobs).

Well, yes, if doctors decide that they know better than the entire scientific community, and then put people's lives or health in danger by not giving vaccines, then yeah, they probably should lose their jobs.

I'm sure there's tons of asexual people who play fortnite, though. It's a fun game and it's easy to find people who do. But seriously, playing a game couldn't possibly magically un-sexualize people's orientations 😕 Link to post Share on other sites
Palovana Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 For the record, I don't even know what Fortnite is, nor have I even heard of it before reading the title of this thread. Then again, I don't have a dick, so what do I know? Link to post Share on other sites

divided_sky Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 What always cracks me up about something like the vaccine argument - 99% of doctors say they are safe (just using an example, not citing any facts), and it is dismissed. Well that's just an opinion, they don't know for sure, blah blah blah. Then one doctor says they are not safe and cause autism, and then it's "hey look at that! a doctor said they are not safe, nobody would know better than a doctor" Lol Link to post Share on other sites

LeChat Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 6 hours ago, Tuple said: Time to get out the asexual bingo cards and see how many items I can mark off... Yeah. There are quite a few in the article, like the fact that her comments appeared to be sexist, only complaining about men being asexual, when women/non-binary/trans people, etc. are, too (not that she's supposed to complain about them, too, but just pointing out how she seems to think asexuality is only a problem if men are asexual, which isn't right). And the whole, "...could be due to germ phobias..." or "being afraid..." 🤨😐 It seems she hasn't read researchers' published articles and studies about asexual individuals. Her comments aren't helping asexuals who want to come out to their friends or family, who might come across her comments and think she's correct. I really hope others don't take her comments seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
