That's... that's not a serious article, is it?
...

Please recall the big spoon/little spoon roles I described earlier. A look at the gay adaptation of these terms is useful in exposing the power relationship they instantiate. Among gay men, big spoon and little spoon have become softer ways of signaling whether one is a top or a bottom during sex. But, as has been true of the top/bottom dynamic since the beginning, these also carry certain connotative weight: Big spoons are manly and will take care of you (provided you let them use you to take care of themselves); little spoons are fragile, passive creatures that need to be held and kept safe. This, of course, is fundamentally a sexist arrangement, one that casts the big spoon as “the man” and the little spoon as “the woman.” To say that this power imbalance is built into all acts of spooning—whichever the sexes engaged—is not, I think, an overstatement. Indeed, I would argue that spooning is always already a power play, a perverse strategy by which we nightly enact the unjust relations of “big” and “little” privilege that plague our society on every level.

What is it with SJWs and trying to interpret shit into language, changing language ... and generally only addressing the way how people speak about something and not what they say?

Because language and how it's used has a huge effect on how we think about things.

If you're good a shaping a narrative you have already won a big deal of footing.

That's, uh, how do I put it delicately?

That's not what it means, you dumb, sexless cunt.

Edit: Article was just linked on my Facebook page too by someone. The person who linked it is getting torn a new one by a few people so that's helping.

Good point actually. I still try to apply Hanlon's Razor (*) to those people, perhaps I should reconsider.

(*) "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Isn't the 007 franchise about a straight white guy who solves every problem with violence and sleeps with every women he sees? I thought Wu and her ilk considered movies like this to be problematic.

And it being Polygon, I am certain it will the pinnacle of unbiased, open-minded feature writing.

I look forward to the influx of angry female gamers speaking out when Wu declares she is the leader of all women in tech, and POCs, and whatever group she feels she is entitled to speak for.

Seriously though, is Polygon even trying anymore? This almost feels like bait.

Top 5 Google results when searching Polygon for writing by or mentions of John:
  1. Game developer Brianna Wu flees home after death threats, Mass. police investigating
  2. Brianna Wu: 'I'm not going to get bullied out of this industry'
  3. Brianna Wu's studio, Giant Spacekat, pulls out of PAX East due to safety concerns
  4. Brianna Wu is confident a death threat harasser will be caught and jailed
  5. No skin thick enough: The daily harassment of women in the game industry (written by John)
Speaks for itself. Notice none of them has anything to do with Revolution 60, the supposed reason John has relevance.
