This would be a good time to link George Carlin's thoughts on censorship.

You only make things like that worse when you don't keep your mouth shut

Their response was completely expected. Their target audience aren't those feminist groups, its the people who use the word "****" in the way they use it, and aren't apologetic for it.

PAX specifically has always put an emphasis on inclusiveness. Feminists aren't allowed to read PA or attend PAX?

I understand where she's coming from.

I understand where Mogwai's coming from and wholeheartedly agree that the dudes from PA were being idiots about this whole damn thing.

I can see all sides of this issue.

I can't win.

It's pretty obvious I meant keep their opinion to themselves instead of voicing it with the intention of getting the comic removed/complaining about being offended.

I couldn't care less about that strip or PA in general, I never read any of their stuff before. It's the principle. Imagine if those kinds of people were allowed to change everything just cause they were angry about something that offended them which wasn't offensive at all. Just mentioning god or jesus or religion would get your comic/show/movie removed from the public. JESUS CHRIST LET'S BURN ALL THE BOOKS NEXT

wait wtf
tl;dr
i'm just presuming it was something lame as hell.

so i'm guessing that
PA said a **** joke, X people/person got offended by said **** joke, and PA is attending PAX

PA founded and runs PAX. >_>

This would be a solid argument if the offended parties ever suggested PA should remove the comic and/or censor themselves. They didn't.
I don't see why any criticism or offense has to immediately turn into a censorship argument. No one is crying FREE-THOUGHT-NAZI!! at you when you complain about Michael Bay movies.

I randomly took a trip down memory lane, and discovered that...I played against Pakman in bracket at Pound 2. And I seriously don't remember this.

As far as ****wolves go - I don't think PA was in the wrong at all...until they made those hilariously awful PR moves. I don't typically care for political correctness to a large extent, but holy ****, they came up with the worst possible responses and chose them.

I'm still going to PAX, but I'm definitely going to avoid any ****wolf-related drama because I want nothing to do with it >_>

My pool was rough. I won a 3 way tie to get the last seed in my pool. I then went 2 and out. Your sheik completely outclassed me.

Good ****.

There were two pools actually. I remember losing to Drephen in my first pool and KM in my second.

And Pakman, I remember playing against a Luigi but I feel like I should have remembered it was you :(

I may or may not be going. Really depends on the HaileyM situation, because I gotta get back to school somehow.
