It’s “hysterical” to not want to get a virus that has a chance of putting you in the hospital, but *not* hysterical to have extreme negative feelings about wearing a bit of cloth on your face sometimes.

Hm.

I’d say you should do some soul searching about why a mandate that is scientifically in the best interest of the public health (including yours) bothers you so much.

Seems like maybe an ego-driven reaction to not liking being told what to do, even when that thing is OBVIOUSLY the correct thing on all fronts. 

I asked you about Jeopardy, which is what the article is about. The conversation of hormones in athletics is an entirely different one.

BTW you’re confusing biological sex with gender. Not the same thing, but I suspect you know that. 

Is it your contention that hormones gave Amy some sort of advantage in Jeopardy that AFAB contestants do not have? If so, which? 

Saying that he posted “some stuff Kotaku writers don’t agree with” suggests that what he posted was inconsequential matters of opinion and not bigoted shit that is wholly inappopriate regardless of context.

Unless, of course, you agree with what he posted. You claim not to, but your concern trolling post” post implies…

People who don’t want BIPOC in games will notice when BIPOC are in games, I guess. 

It’s always amusing to me that these people will say it’s “pandering” when people different than them are included in media, but it wasn’t “pandering” to THEIR group when everyone was white and straight.

Exploitation aside, they’re also just ugly and junky looking.

Maybe I’m just too accustomed to the old way, but I’m struggling. I’ll get there, eventually. 

Sure, but there are dozens of customizations beyond color. I’d love it if they just kept all the fancy helmets and armor customizations and just tinted them red or blue for team matches. Doesn’t even need to be full tint!

There is a sweet spot, distance wise, where the aura’s work for me as the developers intended.  Too close though and I’m just flailing and praying! 

Right, especially in the context of having gamepass, Infinite’s multiplayer ALONE is an incredible value.  

By the same token, you seem weirdly defensive of shitty online discourse, despite having clearly been harmed by it.

I think people would have been a lot more receptive to your sentiment if you switched the order. Talked about all the concerns you have about Halo’s content and Kotaku’s position and how you support the…

The thing that I found most annoying (and maybe it’s a settings thing...) is that in team matches, players keep their original armor colors, and only their auras are Red or Blue. This makes discerning who is on your team a lot harder than in previous iterations where your armor would be changed to your team color and…

I once worked with someone who assumed everyone else was bad at their job and treated them as such. The sort of person who would explain things to an expert. Of course, 95% of the time, he was incorrect but whenever he would encounter that one person who screwed something up, he would hold them up as proof that he was…

It is SO BIZARRE how strongly you feel about this. Truly, find something else to be passionate about. 

ETA, nevermind, you already answered my question. 

White people like Dave Chapelle because he gave them cover to laugh at jokes about black people. He was always the sort of comedian that bigots flocked to because he let them feel good shitting on marginalized groups. 

At what point though do offensive things followed by “just joking” stop being excused? “Just joking” doesn’t mean that what he’s saying isn’t harmful or offensive. It just means he thinks he can get away with it with a disclaimer.

I’m not sure that Netflix should be forced to remove the special, but Dave and the…

The NPC women who are slaughtered in the game, like the men who are slaughtered, pose a danger to Ellie. They attack her directly. There’s explicitly a scene where she tries to spare the life of the woman playing a vita and the woman pulls a knife. There’s certainly ludonarrative dissonance in many videogames,…
