""The most pressing analogy I hold to heart is how Britain stands with mouth a-gawp as it gets progressively fatter and iller, yet remains defiantly opposed to designing streets that people feel safe to ride bicycles on, and continues to let its populated areas be designed in the image of nutritionally-vacuous, big-brand food and drink. As waistlines expand, obesity becomes 'normalised', and solutions drift further and further outside society's collective imagination.""

""The NFL, Price is Right, WWE, most major TV networks across the nation are "going pink" to "spread awareness." Horseshit. You give no fucks about helping victims of breast cancer, you just make it seem like you do. You go pink for October, and then...NOTHING. Not a single mention of it until the following year. All you give a fuck about is how your company is viewed. You want to be "hip" and "cool." You're not. Ironically, by saying you care for a while, and then not care for the rest of the time, shows you really don't care at all. You'd be better off not taking a stance on it at all.""

"''"My five-year-old son just got a trophy for soccer. I was as pleased as any father could be, and I pulled him on my lap, and praised him. Then I figured out everyone got a trophy. All my praise turned to lies in my mouth. I could not unsay what I had just said to a five-year-old. I could not tell him that this trophy was meaningless.

''I could not tell him to try his best, either, because the reward was the same for his best as for his worst.

''My other son quit the team before the season ended, and the coach wanted to give him a trophy in any case. I was revolted by the idea, deeply offended.

They are trying to make my sons into little, weak, selfish, puling nonentities: boys who will cry if they do not get the same reward for hard work as for goofing off. Boys who will grow up to think life is unfair unless they are handed everything they never earned on a silver platter. I cannot regard this attempt with anything but a deep mistrust, bordering on hatred. Who are these people, and what do they have against my boys? Why are they trying to spoil them?""

- John C. Wright, If everyone is Super, no one will be

"''"Being pretty [as a girl] is great. The problem is that you can't stay pretty forever. In 20 years, a re-creation of [a club party with alcohol and friends] would look really, really sad.""

- A Dose of Buckley, caption on "Pretty Girls" by Britney Spears and Iggy Azaela, The Ten Worst Songs of 2015

"''"You can't talk yourself out of loneliness, it's doesn't work that way. ''You can't be the one writing both the questions and the answers, then there's no movement! Then there's no circulation! If all of your anxieties are being channeled into your work, then if the work ever fails you have no backup and you're just going to crash.""

- Davey Wreden, on the dialogue of one of Coda's games, The Beginner's Guide

""I'm just surprised that someone who talked so much would communicate so little during an encounter!""

- Weiss to Ruby, RWBY (The Emerald Forest)

""When many of us sit down and play titles that come out of Japan, we are specifically playing them because they are nothing like what we can get here. They often touch on subjects which are considered taboo to some western audiences, or tackle subject matter that others are afraid to tread through. We don't play Japanese games [...] because they are representative of our western cultural values, we play them because they aren't. They allow us to grow by experiencing fiction and fun from the point of view of an entirely different culture, and we learn a new form of appreciation for the world through it.""

""[The Canadian radio industry] frustrates me so much. I want to see it flourish, I want to hear great material being produced by quality radio hosts, but instead it’s amateur hour all throughout the country as the corporations slash budgets and hire people fresh out of school (or who never even went to school) who aren’t ready to be in front of the mic in markets that should only be hiring seasoned veterans…""

- A Dose of Buckley, Radio Hypocrisy

""[...] [T]he film went above and beyond the typical aspects of propaganda with its overbearing self-importance and pomposity, acting as if FIFA single-handedly saved the human race from extinction and is thus the hero of humanity that deserves endless praise and glory. It was like a cry for help masquerading as a shiny medal of honor; a film functioning as a massive ego-boost first and propaganda second.""

- jwworthy, IMDb review of "United Passions"

""The Internet has brainwashed these teenagers, to the point where that's all they talk about when they're not on it. If only this wasn't accurate...""

"''"Romance [...] is flexible in that it can act as the central reason to include an array of props. Want tension? Create awkward scenarios that sprout from romance. Mind some comedy? There are countless cliché gags based on a romantic relationship. Want to keep a healthy male fan base? Add girls, some naughty camera angles, and you’ve got yourself a steady audience. Romance is versatile, but requires a lot of characterization and work on the story. Some anime producers decided that these weren’t important, but liked the broad spectrum of actions that romance covered. So they included the drama, comedy, and fan-service, but left out the tedious process of developing a proper romance.""

""The aquarium was once the best way to encounter the wonders of sea life. It has become a mere travesty, tacky and cruel.""

- Subtitle for Through a Glass, Sadly by Bernd Brunner

""[Changes in modern media, compared to old works, make] the story reflect the sensibilities of a modern audience. Fiction is [a] product of culture, and culture is a product of circumstance. Our circumstances now are not the same as they were in classical times, so neither is our culture and neither is our fiction.""

""''[...] [H]old managers accountable for mismanagement. Any manager who leads his team into a death march has failed his employees, his superiors, and his company's investors. He has not done the job he was hired to do, which is to deploy the company's resources intelligently and profitably. We've all been to those triumphant post-ship meetings where these so-called "leaders" got big praise and a bigger bonus check as a reward for wreaking havoc on the health and personal lives of their employees. That's a perverse feedback loop, which perpetuates an abusive system. Any manager who put her team through more than a month of pre-ship crunch to get the product out the door should be getting a pink slip, not a promotion.""

- Evan Robinson, It's Not Just Abusive, It's Stupid

""''[...] I'm a little flabbergasted by the existence of [the New 2015 Macbook]. And being real, that is partly because I know someone who I tried to convince not to buy this. "It doesn't make any sense," I said to them. ''...And they bought it anyway. ...And it hurts my heart.""

"''"Don't worry! I'll be gentle. I'll kill you slowly... so, so slowly. ''After all, I lo... ''...athe, loathe, loathe, loathe, loathe, loathe, loathe, despise, despise, despise, despise, despise, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate... ...HATE you so much that I just CAN'T STAND IT! I hate you so much that I want to slaughter you! Ahaha... ahahahahaha!""

""While Clannad certainly has a bunch of the generic "lol Japan is perverts", I'd be hard-pressed to call it a game designed for porn. I mean, if you enjoy masturbating to your own tears, that's not the game's fault.""
