   I’m also eagerly awaiting Mr. Jennings’ next column. I very much enjoyed the one about morality and controversy in gaming.

   Men who don’t have daughters see no big deal in woman being successful by acting like a druggie slut.

   Men who have daughters want druggie sluts to be an example of failure.

   Am I right?

   I think they had a South Park episode about that.

   @Hojo: I don’t think it’s frozen, dude.
   Here I thought it was a reference to her being an ice queen.

   Yes, god forbid your daughters have enjoyable sex lives and healthy sexual attitudes, or occasionally enjoy the least harmful drug around. Smoking weed sometimes makes you a druggie, and allowing yourself to be photographed in the nude makes you a slut. And girls should fear being called sluts, of course, because that’s bad bad bad. Girls should just shut the fuck up and quit pretending your body is for your own enjoyment and not a blank slate for society to project all its anxieties and neuroses onto. Because then men will look down on you! And of course those men constitute all men, because we said so. And so you might not get a man, and all of Cosmo’s tips on how to Please Your Man will be in vain! And really, that’s the measure of your value in the world, as the media is more than happy to make clear, so you might as well say ‘gg’ and start cutting if misogynistic douchebags aren’t interested in you.

   Seriously, Chrome, WHAT THE FUCK?

   “”I think it was rather silly to post the stoned bit, it is a crime (no matter where you stand on the issue) and could get her into real trouble.”"

   You might want to call High Times magazine and relay the message, I don’t think they’ve heard about the ‘you can’t talk about smoking weed’ law yet.

   Man, Cypress Hill is going to be fucked.

   Joe,
   I have 2 daughters close to her age and they both have healthy sexual and self images and no they dont go about acting like a slut because yes it is socially a bad image to portray about ones self. Its called self reespect.
   Also yes openly talking about smoking weed , while not illegal, makes you a target for law enforcement because its still illegal. I have no issues with smoking weed in general and dont feel it should be illegal but while it is one shouldnt make ones self a target by broadcasting the fact that you smoke.
   You really can’t be as ignorant as you just sounded right?

   I do not, under any circumstances, in any imaginable scenario, want to see William Shatner naked, whether he’s playing WoW at the time or not.

   Besides, can you imagine raiding with Shatner? The guy who counted lines to make sure he had more than Leonard Nimoy? Just imagine him whining about the “defective” damage meters, not to mention demanding all the good lewtz.

   Oh, and Pat, “attention whore” has nothing to do with the gender of the subject. See Shatner, William.

   “”Joe,

   Note the complete absence of logic in this paragraph. It’s “socially a bad image to portray”, as in it’s against what strangers — in a culture dominated by misogynistic assholes — might expect from you. How on earth does that involve ’self respect’? The very ESSENCE of self respect is being able to tell society’s self-proclaimed standard-bearers to go fuck themselves if and when they so choose. The message that a woman who enjoys sex and enjoys flaunting her body lacks self-respect is anti-feminist to the core.

   Nothing says we all have to be the girl who posts naked pictures on twitter. But there’s something deeply, sickly wrong with you if you think that being comfortable enough with your body to post them is a sign of lacking ’self-respect’.

    I really don’t see a woman who “enjoys sex and enjoys flaunting her body.” I see a woman who is very busily involved in a series of calculated gambits to become a celebrity, at any cost.

    Whether or not “lacking in self-respect” is the right term for that is debatable, but by and large morality flew south some time back. Granted, by and large, when you live in a culture largely sick with celebrity worship, a pebble in an already bubbling pool hardly makes a ripple.

    Spending all her time naked must be awful for her heating bills.

    Not to mention that it must be pretty uncomfortable sitting in a chair for hours on end for a raid. Raiding in your pyjamas I can understand, but I suspect naked raiding is rather more something you boast about, than something you would actually want to do.

    The increase in winter heating costs are offset by the decrease in summer cooling costs.

    Self-respect, yeah. Is high but really fragile, just as expected of a narcissistic whore who does anything for becoming a celebrity. Mind you, my dick is really happy about it, but it can’t use a keyboard.

    Also mind you, my dick would be really unhappy if that was William Shatner. Not a pretty image.

    I never would have guessed that combining World of Warcraft with naked women would create drama. Still… there’s something familiar about this.

    Hmm… petty name-calling? Check.
    Absurd “FOR THE CHILDREN!!!11″ rant? Check.
    Judgments by clueless people? Most definitely check.

    Yep, this discussion had everything I expected.
