Stephen A. Smith is not ignorant.

Most people I know who argue for “objectivity” in a thing tend to feel they’re being poorly served by the content they read, possibly because it’s propagandist, possibly because it’s... how do I put this...

Family Guy called it

This is a pretty strange retcon.

I’d argue Kotaku definitely fucked up in certain regards. Lack of disclosure was a huge thing that bothered a lot of people including me.

At the same time, Outlaw Star and Trigun had very similar premises and tone, and arguably higher quality and more likable characters, but people aren’t insane about them. Firefly seems to have held on to the mystique purely by not having an ending.

GamerGate’s specific goals are by nature impossible to define

Plot twist: the people behind this booth were women who supported ethics and integrity in journalism. they were discriminated against for what they were wearing and what they were saying.

Have they added matchmaking for raids? No? Well, then go ahead and don’t ever add any more goddamned fucking raids for all I care. Not like I can play them anyway seeing as I only have one friend I play with and that’s not enough for either of the raids.

I say this as someone who still plays Destiny and enjoys the game…

Bloodborne, sometimes you just gotta kill to get killed.

the notion that a nudity mod in a video is somehow immoral is so weirdly puritanical, especially from these developers. nonetheless, no matter what the franchise or who the developers are, i think you need to develop your moral compass a little more if you think a nudity mod is inherently immoral.

What is their actual intent? If we take their claims at face value, then the system has already been gamed by other interested parties, and their slate of nominees offer what they believe to be a more diverse selection of SF, when it comes to the distinction between literary fiction and fare intended for a mass…

ok, so the system was gamed one way last year, and another way this year...
and what this has done is pretty well point out that the system is , in fact, able to be gamed EASILY... that the system is (as several of these folks have been saying ) RIGGED.

because thats what a lot of these people have been saying for…

If someone wants to make noise, and they're doing it within the rules of the system, I don't really have a problem with it. My current SF reading list contains only one book written in the past decade, with the rest all being written before the end of the Cold War, so if a bunch of people want to play around and argue…

'the best stories aren't only the ones told by straight white men.'

It seems like you're disagreeing with me because you disagree with their agenda, in any case, who said anything about clever? The whole point of gaming the system is manipulating the rules in order to reach a desired outcome, they got it. They already seem to hold the Hugos in low regard, so any damage to the awards…

Whatever the merits of their claims may be, there's a part of me that just enjoys it when someone games the system in order to make a point. So... kudos, I guess.

... are you guys kidding? Only some nerd would get "addicted" to weed. This is why I never go to nerd parties, there's never any good drugs and too many internet references. I can only assume most nerds are bitter because no one in their right mind would share trees with the uptight asshole in history who always has…
