Imagine being so insecure that a fake woman holding a position of authority in a videogame made you uncomfortable. I'm not at all surprised that their celebacy is involuntary.

This whole thing reads like a microcosm of the entire American economy. Companies don't care about you. Excutives will get away with plenty of money in their pockets. Unions could have helped prevent the worst repercussions for workers. And most of all, we should keep this in mind: companies don't make games (or cars…

Dang, just binged all his videos.

the baww-ing in multipe comments you do over mild political critique is adorable, chud

This city is 100% Philadelphia. The map and the street and town names are the same and that transit token is from SEPTA.

A YouTuber taking a thoughtful and historically accurate take on major problems in our society? No thanks, I’d rather watch people make fun of powerless college campus SJWs.

Certainly didn’t think he had enough subscribers to warrant a Kotaku article,…

Socialism does not require primitivism, asceticism or any abstention from consumer goods or technology. You seem to think socialism requires people to not have iphones, when really, socialism calls for the people who make iphones to receive an equitable share of the value derived from their labor. 

Oh boy, here comes the “Socialism is evil because ‘Merica and... uh... reasons!!!!” train.

“Franklin exists as a kind of allegory for real cities, not being based on any one in particular” - Franklin is pretty explicitly Justin’s home city of Philadelphia, including many shared or barely-obfuscated place names. 

The fact only 1 paragraph even mentions the single-player says all you need to know about how GTA went off the rails for many fans.

I have read two articles about this now, and one thing keeps troubling me: it’s no longer the “white man’s burden” but the “rich man’s burden.”
