  1. I mean, one of my favorite works of fiction is The Neverending Story, so probably the guy who wrote that. I can't quite remember his name.

     

    What's the most embarassing moment of your life so far, that you're comfortable talking about?

  2. Old news. If they wanted to dodge bad PR they would've kept their mouths shut about it because nobody even knew he was on the team to begin with until they announced his removal. Instead they chose to get up on the soapbox and make a political statement as if having a mediocre game under their belt gives them the credentials.

     

    Besides, Jontron already came out and said that most of what he said were bold claims in the heat of the moment and he didn't actually believe them.

     

    Also about 0% of the actual criticism against the game has to do with the Jontron issue, most people forgot about that already.

  3. Except it's not making a large assumption. It's completely factual to say "not all x are y" because in pretty much any demographic that's big enough to generalize, there is always at LEAST one exception to the generalization.

  4. Have some pretty random question. Do american children study foreign languages in common schools?

    In MOST school districts I think you're required to have credits in any 2nd language course of your choosing, I had to take 2 years of French for mine.

  5. The problem with that line of thinking is that there are simply too many people, you have to start generalising in order to say anything. You're generalising as well when you say that not everyone is x. There simply are too many people not to.

     

    That isn't what generalizing is, in fact that's the complete OPPOSITE of what generalizing is because it's making it CLEAR that not everyone in a group follows a certain generalization.

    I agree that generalization has its purpose as long as you make an effort to be factual and statistical about it, but if you think there's anything factual or statistical about "you should be ashamed to associate with the lgbt community because of this", you aren't the freshest berry in the bunch.
