You aren't this perfect? So what gives you the right to say this vile shit about transgendered people? Maybe you're just a fat, greasy, stinky, transphobic nerd.

Take note that in the begging when R thinks about what the world must have been like before every person in the airport in his vision is plugged into electronics and doing the exact opposite of what he describes it must have been like.

His analysis of Eurogames are so flawed, he even gets panned regulary for it by his supporters.
